This is a great algorithm!

In this era where AI is eating away at how deterministic computers are, I really appreciate reading about an elegant solution to a real problem using deterministic logic.

We still live in an age of deterministic computers. It’s the software that’s become fuzzy. (And since we’re on the subject: there’s no AI)

		Yes, but a computer is just a paperweight without its software. Also, increasingly the hardware is being specifically designed and optimized for that non-deterministic software. The experience of using computers is changing and we’re still in the early days of that shift. Of course there’s still plenty of deterministic software you can run… for now.
