    On pseudorandom number generation given a probability distribution

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 07:38 PM PST

    Can we generate pseudorandom numbers from a given probability distribution by using the uniform random generator that is built-in for most programming languages? If so, is there any reason why it happens? If not, how can we generate pseudorandom numbers from a given distribution?

    Conufused why we are using that 0.5 in DDA Algorithm. It should be x2=x1+delx, isn't it, why are we multiplying delx by 0.5? Is that optional?

    How to plan the paths for multiple agents?

    Posted: 25 Dec 2020 03:56 PM PST

    Hi,

    I am trying to create a routes for multiple vehicles given the daily orders of goods along with delivery addresses and preferred times of delivery for for some addresses.

    So far I have tried to solve the challenge with genetic algorithm but I would be glad if anyone suggested any alternative. I believe the problem has been studied and solved (e.g. express delivery services) but am not familiar with it.

    So given the list of orders (weight of order and delivery address for every item and arbitrary preferred delivery time), I would like to optimally allocate the items to available trucks (with various weight capacities) in order to deliver all the items. All the items are stored at the same location that is the starting point of all trucks.

    Does anyone know which algorithm is most suitable to solve this challenge?

    Was all software created with programming languages and could hardware function without software?

    Posted: 25 Dec 2020 10:46 AM PST

    AFAIK all software was written in a programming language, but I am not sure if there's some other way too.

    Another question, can hardware function without software? Or is software 100% necessary for hardware to function at all?

    CS course names are confusing

    Posted: 25 Dec 2020 08:05 PM PST

    So whats the difference between these courses.: computer organization, computer architecture, computer systems, computer systems architecture, computer organization and operating systems.

    Are computer org. and computer arch. the same thing? what about computer systems arch.?

    Also, isnt computer systems about the whole computer, from the hardware to software? So inst computer org and operating systems just a computer systems course?

    Phyrst - First order logic evaluator using python operators overloading

    Posted: 25 Dec 2020 07:22 AM PST

    Hello, I made this little library (for christmass?) that lets you define a first order Type, Theory and Model and evaluate Expressions on it. I got inspired from the logic courses I took this year.

    I think the implementation and the usage of phyrst Expressions are quite elegant and would love feedback about it :)

    A quick example is as follows:

    • You want: ∀𝑥 ∀𝑦 𝑥 ≤ 𝑦 ∧ 𝑦 ≤ 𝑥 ⇒ 𝑥 = 𝑦
    • You write: antisimetry = forall(x, forall(y, ((x <= y) & (y <= x)) >> (x == y)))
