FWIW Knuth himself doesn't think this happened nor does he sound like the kind of person (to me) who would try to cut someone down like that: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zJOS0sV2a24&t=26m

>Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of cryptocurrencies though? Depends who you ask. The cryptocurrency community thus far have been happy to participate in ICOs in which cryptocurrencies are issued from a central authority.

Yes, but once I have acquired dollars and wish to send them to you I must involve a third party. Not involving that third party would be the sell here. I have no position in any cryptocurrency and am not trying to argue that USDC is better

Stablecoins seem like they would achieve most of the goals of the original cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin: - Decentralized transactions - 24/7 access - Low fees - Store of value I suppose the only drawback here is that they're i

Does this work on any other dataset than Cifar-10 with ResNets? I ask because I worked on reproducing this paper for ICLR 2018 Reproducibility Challenge and the paper noted that this was the only setup in which super-convergence would be ob

I think people have largely missed the point of the article. This is specifically in relation to a "magic hash" on a block that was mined on June 19, 2018 with the hash: 00000000000000000021e800c1e8df51b22c1588e5a624bea17e9faa34b2

It's alarming because you describe the letter as analogous to an "exploit toolkit" and we all know no patch is coming. Perhaps proponents of GDPR should have considered this very obvious weaponization of the law...

In a similar vein, we pitched Microsoft Ventures on a developer tool we were building. One of their chief concerns was that we were targeting C# developers. (Why not JS? Is C# even that popular?) This helped drill home the intuition that la
