2/ It, 1. Generates a bunch of random numbers; 2. Sorts them; then; 3. Selects the top 10 largest samples. Boring. And mind-boggling absurd.

3/ Imagine doing this in human-space, tossing a trillion-sided die 10MM times, tracking the top 10 as you go. How long would that take (assuming you had such a nonsensical die)? At 8 hours a day and 1 second per iteration, it'd take ≈1 year. My cell phone did it in 13.1 secs.pic.twitter.com/9q4eFUNznS
