This is a basic math problem, but it’s got me stumped. What algorithm would I use to select 5 random numbers, with the constraint that they need to average to 4000. 5 is just an example, it could be ...

Quantum computers still can’t do much. Almost every time researchers have found something the high-tech machines should one day excel at, a classical algorithm comes along that can do it just as well ...

A pair of researchers have found a more efficient way to multiply grids of numbers, beating a record set just a week ago by the artificial intelligence firm DeepMind. The company revealed on 5 October ...
