minus-squareBatmanAoD@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up93·8 days agoReminds me of quantum-bogosort: randomize the list; check if it is sorted. If it is, you’re done; otherwise, destroy this universe.
minus-squarexmunk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up57·8 days agoGuaranteed to sort the list in nearly instantaneous time and with absolutely no downsides that are capable of objecting.
minus-squarefrezik@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up35·8 days agoYou still have to check that it’s sorted, which is O(n). We’ll also assume that destroying the universe takes constant time.
minus-squareBatmanAoD@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up30·8 days agoIn the universe where the list is sorted, it doesn’t actually matter how long the destruction takes!
minus-squaregroet@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·7 days agoIt actually takes a few trillion years but its fine because we just stop considering the “failed” universes because they will be gone soon™ anyway.
minus-squarevithigar@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up15·8 days agoExcept you missed a bug in the “check if it’s sorted” code and it ends up destroying every universe.
minus-squaredb2@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·8 days agoThere’s a bug in it now, that’s why we’re still here.

minus-squareBatmanAoD@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·7 days agoCreation is easy, assuming the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics!

minus-squareSkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up8·7 days agoIn Python you just use import destroy_universe
minus-squarefrezik@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 days agoSince randomizing the list increases entropy, it could theoretically make your cpu cooler just before it destroys the universe.
Reminds me of quantum-bogosort: randomize the list; check if it is sorted. If it is, you’re done; otherwise, destroy this universe.
Guaranteed to sort the list in nearly instantaneous time and with absolutely no downsides that are capable of objecting.

Eh, trillion is a constant
amortized O(0)
Except you missed a bug in the “check if it’s sorted” code and it ends up destroying every universe.
There’s a bug in it now, that’s why we’re still here.
