Did Dr. Knuth stopped giving the Christmas Tree lecture this last year?
Is the Fridman interview the replacement?
- madmax108 7y agoNo, no. The Christmas lecture happened this year as well (the 25th year in fact!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DKo219ZHMw&feature=emb_title https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DKo219ZHMw&feature=emb_titl... As is usual from Prof. Knuth, it's great with tonnes of nuggets of wisdom, especially if you are a fan of easter eggs (though his "style" of presentation bothers quite a few of my friends)! :)
- abhgh 7y agoIt happened this year and it was packed. So much so that when I reached 10 min late, there were so many people (standing) that I couldn't actually see Knuth even though I was technically inside the Nvidia auditorium, Stanford. Could only see the overhead screen. Tried standing on my toes and kept craning my neck to no avail, so had to leave disappointed :-( PS: I did get to attend and see him last year so that's something.
