So like in Futurama, where the Moon is a theme park.

How do you "skill" yourself more attention to give?

Only within undirected graphs. Sadly, this won't revolutionize video games, where we still have to use the A* algorithm from 1968 that is the literal computing bottleneck limiting us to mere hundreds of intelligent characters at once in a barely dynamic environment.

I got way too excited.

In the article it does talk about how they arrived at a partial solution that only worked on undirected graphs, but then they started taking a hybrid approach to get it to work on directed graphs.

The paper also indicates it works on directed graphs: https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.17033

That said, it might only be faster for large, sparse graphs.

Jump point search is obscenely fast. It's technically an optimization of A* but the behavior and runtime looks nothing like it.

It only worked on undirected graphs in 2023. This article is about the newest breakthrough that works on directed graphs as well.

Russians killed all the rich and smart people in their revolutions. Only the dumb ones remain. Russia should be assumed to make dumb decisions.

I just bought paper made from stone that doesn't get wet, so there's one problem solved..!

Deferring such decisions to the end user is an ABSENCE of design.

Partly! And that's a good thing, IMO. E.g. providing just the content (think markdown, e.g.) and letting the end user agent render it in a standard way that the user wants is what I had in mind. Like good ole HTML from 1995 :)

Helsinki's underground spaces exist for one reason: Russian bombs.

Slaves do not lack agency. That's one of the reasons the Bible, specifically Exodus, is such a thrilling read.

A story where slaves escape through deus ex machina is probably not exactly a great example

It's poison... developed by fungi to kill bacteria. Largely irrelevant to humans.

That's an unusual definition of "irrelevant".

I've drank a lot of alcohol as a human and "irrelevant" is precisely how I'd describe it.

For scale context, the covid 19 vaccines killed almost as many people as alcohol yearly. Yet that one is "medicine" but alcohol is "poison"? Give me a break.

Of course there are morons who get killed by just about anything. Even water poisoning is a thing, and people HAVE died of it.

Sinners will die regardless of substance, because the wages of sin are death.

Who is this "we" who always survive? 99% of humans went extinct, historians say.
