A new era in computing is here! Thermodynamic computing, akin to probabilistic computing, harnesses noise for efficient problem-solving. Imagine a world where physics-based ASICs tailor solutions to…

Two ways of computing the Euler-Mascheroni constant, one much better than the other. Discussing software that's even better.

Suppose you need to write software to compute the sine function. You were told in a calculus class that this is done using Taylor series—it's not, but that's another story—and so you start writing…

In order to add a block to the Bitcoin blockchain, miners must solve a puzzle to demonstrate proof of work. What exactly is that puzzle?

Why do cryptocurrencies use hash-based puzzles to demonstrate proof-of-work? Why not some more intrinsically useful problem?

A short and sweet bit of Python code to test whether an arbitrarily large integer is a square, and to find the floor of the square root.

Most numbers that are representable as machine integers are not exactly representable as floating point numbers.
