It's pretty well though out and is awesome in principle. The problem is that our interpreted javascript cloud network is getting owned by the awesome power of nVidia GPUs. "Yeah, my 5 GPUs are currently cranking at a total rate of 800 M/sec

I've been thinking about doing something like this for weeks. It seems like at the start of my day I'll log onto Hacker News and read 5 or 6 interesting articles. However, without even trying, by the end of the day, all the links will be gr

AT&T confirms their accomplishment here: http://www.research.att.com/~volinsky/netflix/bpc.html This starts a 30 day period during which all the teams can submit their final versions. After that, I believe Netflix will run the algorit
