Ax’s lame movie recos and cool YT picks

@Axtremus said in Ax’s lame movie recos and cool YT picks:
Historical progression to finding the “fastest” way to multiply two numbers:
My undergraduate teacher for theoretical computer science was Arnold Schönhage. And of course he taught us the Schönhage Strassen multiplication algorithm, which is way faster than Kamasutra's.

I remember being a little overwhelmed by the math around the FFT.

Of course, it should be noted that the Kamasutra more broadly deals with many aspects of love rather than to merely multiply quickly.

I’ve been quite impressed by Peter Bence’s many virtuosic piano covers of popular tunes. He struck me as someone with extraordinary technique as well as extraordinary creativity. I have been wondering what his original composition would be like, and now I have come across an example:

That was cool.

I'd never heard of him.
Wow. What a talent.
Thanks for making me aware of him.
Currently listening to "Under Pressure."

That is kind of neat. Not sure I would spend a lot more to have that done, but it is still kind of neat. LOL

Never thought deep frying can produce something so refined.

A quick internet search suggests that the dancers achieved this using quick tiny footsteps. Still fascinating.
