The show really entangles the plot a lot more than the game. I found the show hard to watch with all the not signaled time traveling with jump cuts. Even though I've seen most of the plot covered from the game.
At first glance this doesn't seem to be as impactful as you might think...
We reverse engineered the low-level assembly sorting algorithms discovered by AlphaDev for sort 3, sort 4 and sort 5 to C++ and discovered that our sort implementations led to improvements of up to 70% for sequences of a length of five and roughly 1.7% for sequences exceeding 250,000 elements.
I wish I could experience the game fresh again. Go slow, savour every moment!
