If you’re under the impression that something as simple as sorting numbers is dull, think again. This visualization lets you see and hear fifteen different algorithms sift their way through a ju ...

“I think they’re going to be able to do that to things like sorting algorithms, and standard kind of compute algorithms. But it’s not going to be applied to… complex bits of code,” he says.

“Sorting is still one of the most widely ... and placing them in order so that the resulting lines of code make up an algorithm. AlphaDev wins the game if the algorithm is both correct and ...

but these are important because they’re used by algorithms that sort longer lists. AlphaDev operated at the level of assembly instructions: code generated by automated compilers from code that ...
