New today in @QuantaMagazine: the most pure unadulterated fun I've had reporting a story in my time as a journalist to date. After decades, an open online collaboration has definitively identified an unusually active computer program called the fifth busy beaver. 1/5

Funny story from #MCMA2023: When trying to cook up the fastest way to approximate an integral, you bounce back and forth between random & deterministic strategies. What's really going on there? Is there a unified way to look at all of these strategies (Monte Carlo + QMC?)

Check out the latest from #MCMA2023: Monte Carlo integration is super powerful, but can be *slow* So-called 𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 techniques give you "more information for your buck," making Monte Carlo thousands of times faster—and useful for real-world problems!
