Sorry for the press release, but it's more technical than most.

This is an explanation of a whitepaper for a new cryptocurrency called Algorand from [The Morning Paper](https://blog.acolyer.org/):
> Algorand can confirm transactions on the order of one minute — whereas Bitcoin takes on the order of one hour — has negligible probability of forking, and achieve...
Abstract: "Tree automata and transducers are used in a wide range of applications in software engineering. While these formalisms are of immense practical use, they can only model finite alphabets. To overcome this problem we augment tree automata and transducers with symbolic alphabets represented ...
Abstract: "In-memory tree structured index search is a fundamental database operation. Modern processors provide tremendous computing power by integrating multiple cores, each with wide vector units. There has been much work to exploit modern processor architectures for
database primitives like sca...

Presented at the [MICRO-36 conference](https://www.microarch.org/micro36/) in 2003.
My first experience writing Metafont source! How does anyone actually make anything more complicated than this without a real font design program?
My rough approach was to take some of the boilerplate from an existing metafont and write a Ruby script to generate a different variant of it letter b...
I worked on this project at Clever Cloud: it's a PaaS based service to rent GPUs.
Some demos are available on our corporate Github, and works with tensorflow, Jupyter notebook etc.
Would love some feedback :) Thanks

Please give me any feedback you may have!
Abstract: "Using GPUs as general-purpose processors has revolutionized parallel computing by providing,
for a large and growing set of algorithms, massive data-parallelization on desktop machines. An
obstacle to their widespread adoption, however, is the difficulty of programming them and the
low...
