14:58 < fenn> today i learned that "salmon spill" is a thing that can happen when hundreds of tons of farmed salmon escape

15:33 < saxo> Building a Curve25519 Hardware Accelerator «  bunnie's blog
15:49 < fenn> i don't get why he says "t probably wouldn’t be worth it to port the curve25519 accelerator engine from its current FPGA format to an ASIC form. Mask-defined silicon would run at least 5x faster, and if we needed the compute power, we’d probably find more overall system-level benefit from a second CPU core than a domain-specific accelerator"
15:49 < fenn> if it's not being used, it's just space on the chip die, not using electrical power or generating heat
16:32 < lsneff> That's pretty neat — more than just an accelerator, almost a small cpu

22:39 < maaku> justanotheruser: it's totally not a coincidence that the already open-source replication of their work has just achieved parity
22:40 < maaku> oops I meant to say "totally just a coincidence", but sarcastically
22:59 < justanotheruser> are you saying that the authors gave away the code? or what
23:07 < maaku> This is Deepmind/Google's AlphaFold 2, and it is (now) open source.
23:07 < maaku>  The original AlphaFold was never released afaik.
23:08 < maaku> But people have been working at replicating its results, and that open-source project has surpassed the original AlphaFold just very recently, I believe
23:08 < justanotheruser> so why isn't it a coincidence?
23:09 < maaku> I don't think Deepmind would have released AlphaFold otherwise.
23:09 < maaku> They want to avoid some other project getting momentum and becoming the standard
