A new proof illuminates the hidden patterns that emerge when addition becomes impossible. The simplest ideas in mathematics can also be the most perplexing. Take addition. It’s a straightforward ...

They say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, but for computer scientists, two birds in a hole are better still. That’s because those cohabiting birds are the protagonists of a deceptively ...

The cloud computing giant has finally realized it must deal with complexity, by adopting a six-step framework it calls ‘simplexity.’ It doesn’t scale. At AWS re:Invent 2024, Amazon Web Services ...
