I just published Tensort, a family of sorting algorithms (slash research paper?) inspired by Ivan's remark near the end of Beyond Efficiency by Dave Ackley about Robustsort not existing yet. I'd love to hear what y'all think! 💙

This is fantastic. The guiding presence of Sir Michael Caine, the way you introduce terminology, the first step of tensort ( 🤯 ).... what a cool project, and enjoyable write up to go with it.

The tensor part would take me some serious time with paper and pencil to figure out. But the rest is quite straightforward and fun to think about.

Oh my god! I was just thinking about Austin Powers' dad today (the stiff neck joke, as I took an Advil), probably for the first time since that movie came out. I can't even! Oh and then I read the explanation of Magicsort. This has to be a troll. It's too much!

Yes!!!!! Thank you!!!! My heart is full🥰 Haha I very nearly used a Scrooge Caine for the Magicsort image! > The tensor part would take me some serious time with paper and pencil to figure out Yeah it can get hard to reason about (😝) pretty quickly once you get into the higher dimensions. I did a lot of playing with cards and Jenga blocks while working on it😸 I'd really like to make a visualization of it but that will prolly have to wait until after I land a new job > I was just thinking about Austin Powers' dad today Hahaha certain parts of that movie never leave my psyche ("Nothing could be my father from the truth!", "No I dadn't!") > This has to be a troll The way I presented Magicsort was 100% a troll directed at you specifically @Ivan Reese, I'm not even joking lol. And slightly a jab at the Computerphile guy who couldn't think of any practical applications of Bogosort. I was hoping you'd get a kick out of it 😹

Hats off Kyle. You've made something very cool and technical and fascinating, but also woven charm and joy into its presentation. Beautiful.
