minus-square@BatmanAoD@programming.devlinkfedilink151•7 months agoReminds me of quantum-bogosort: randomize the list; check if it is sorted. If it is, you’re done; otherwise, destroy this universe.
minus-square@xmunk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink97•7 months agoGuaranteed to sort the list in nearly instantaneous time and with absolutely no downsides that are capable of objecting.
minus-square@frezik@midwest.sociallinkfedilink48•7 months 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-square@BatmanAoD@programming.devlinkfedilink44•7 months agoIn the universe where the list is sorted, it doesn’t actually matter how long the destruction takes!
minus-square@groet@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglish13•7 months 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-squareYonderEpochslinkfedilink9•7 months ago We’ll also assume that destroying the universe takes constant time. Well yeah just delete the pointer to it!
minus-square@vithigar@lemmy.calinkfedilink16•7 months agoExcept you missed a bug in the “check if it’s sorted” code and it ends up destroying every universe.
minus-square@db2@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink7•7 months agoThere’s a bug in it now, that’s why we’re still here.
minus-square@Zaphod@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilink25•7 months ago The creation and destruction of universes is left as an exercise to the reader
minus-square@BatmanAoD@programming.devlinkfedilink5•7 months agoCreation is easy, assuming the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics!
minus-squareNaNlinkfedilink17•7 months agoInstead of destroying the universe, can we destroy prior, failed shuffle/check iterations to retain o(1)? Then we wouldn’t have to reload all of creation into RAM.
minus-square@BatmanAoD@programming.devlinkfedilink6•7 months agoDelete prior iterations of the loop in the same timeline? I’m not sure there’s anything in quantum mechanics to permit that…

minus-square@frezik@midwest.sociallinkfedilink2•7 months 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.

Eh, trillion is a constant
amortized O(0)
Well yeah just delete the pointer to it!

What library are you using for that?

In Python you just use
