At a weekend hackathon in San Francisco, more than 100 coders gathered to test whether they could beat AI—and win a $12,500 cash prize.

FFmpeg 8.0 brings GPU-accelerated video encoding via Vulkan – and can now subtitle your videos automatically using integrated speech recognition.

Algorithms mirror flaws and fuel mistrust. Surveillance erodes privacy. Mindful choices, collective action—laws, literacy—can reclaim humanity.

Google DeepMind's AlphaEvolve AI system breaks a 56-year-old mathematical record by discovering a more efficient matrix multiplication algorithm that had eluded human mathematicians since Strassen ...

Abstract: In this paper, Huffman-code-based reversible variable length code (RVLC) construction algorithms are studied. We use graph models to represent the prefix, suffix, and Hamming distance ...

Reddit reported slower user growth due to Google's search algorithm changes, causing shares to drop 8.9%. CEO Steve Huffman noted improvements in early 2024 but acknowledged reliance on Google for ...

In this paper, Huffman-code based reversible variable length code (RVLC) construction algorithms are studied. We use graph models to represent the prefix, suffix and Hamming distance relationships ...

This project implements Huffman Encoding and Decoding in Java, complete with a graphical user interface (GUI) to visualize the Huffman Tree, Huffman Codes, character frequencies, encoded text, and ...

ASCII files can be compressed to smaller sizes by using variable length Huffman Coding. By analyzing the different probabilities of the various symbols that occur in a given file, we can build a ...
