Faster sorting algorithms discovered using deep reinforcement learning
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06004-9.pdf
Fundamental algorithms such as sorting or hashing are used trillions of times on any given day. As demand for computation grows, it has become critical for these algorithms to be as performant as possible. Whereas remarkable progress has been achieved in the past, making further improvements on the efficiency of these routines has proved challenging for both human scientists and computational approaches. Here we show how artificial intelligence can go beyond the current state of the art by discovering hitherto unknown routines. To realize this, we formulated the task of finding a better sorting routine as a single-player game. We then trained a new deep reinforcement learning agent, AlphaDev, to play this game. AlphaDev discovered small sorting algorithms from scratch that outperformed previously known human benchmarks. These algorithms have been integrated into the LLVM standard C++ sort library. This change to this part of the sort library represents the replacement of a component with an algorithm that has been automatically discovered using reinforcement learning. We also present results in extra domains, showcasing the generality of the approach.
complacency = compiacimento – sicurezza di sé oltre il ragionevole dubbio rispetto ai rischi che si possono incontrare
https://opensource.com/article/23/4/my-website-compromised by David Both [...] “What I learned Having written many books and articles in which I discuss the necessity to keep systems updated with the latest versions of operating system and application software, I'm frankly embarrassed by this. However, it has been a good learning experience for me and a reminder that I must not become complacent. I almost didn't write this article! I didn't want to admit to being negligent with one of my own systems. And yet, I felt compelled to write about it in the hope that you learn from my experience.
So, as I have learned from painful experience, it is critical to keep our systems updated. It's one of the most vital steps in the continuing battle to prevent the computers under our care from being infected. The specific details of the infection I experienced are less important than the fact that there are always attacks taking place against our systems. Complacency is one of the attack vectors that crackers can count on to aid their efforts.”
Essere troppo sicuri porta sempre a sottovalutare qualcosa in ambito personale, lavorativo, della vita in genere, al punto che qualcuno se ne può approfitare per trovare la falla, il momento di disattenzione. Nella maggior parte dei casi un buon “backup” non solo informatico è di estremo aiuto, alcune volte si prendo delle bastonate significative.

ChatGPT took their jobs. Now they walk dogs and fix air conditioners.
Ai took human job
...Roberts said that chatbots can produce costly errors and that companies rushing to incorporate ChatGPT into operations are “jumping the gun.” Since they work by predicting the most statistically likely word in a sentence, they churn out average content by design. That provides companies with a tough decision, she said: quality vs. cost.
“We have to ask: Is a facsimile good enough? Is imitation good enough? Is that all we care about?” she said. “We’re going to lower the measure of quality, and to what end? So the company owners and shareholders can take a bigger piece of the pie?”
Lipkin, the copywriter who discovered she’d been replaced by ChatGPT, is reconsidering office work altogether. She initially got into content marketing so that she could support herself while she pursued her own creative writing. But she found the job burned her out and made it hard to write for herself. Now, she’s starting a job as a dog walker.

Social Media and Youth Mental Health
This Advisory describes the current evidence on the impacts of social media on the mental health of children and adolescents. It states that we cannot conclude social media is sufficiently safe for children and adolescents and outlines immediate steps we can take to mitigate the risk of harm to children and adolescents.
