Why stop at bitcoin? This seems could be the next frontier of cloud computing. Finally, the pedants claiming that "Serverless" still needs servers can be satiated.
CUDAAAAGH is a pretty bad name to chose for a library.<p>Easy to typo and accidently add more or less A.
I had to pause reading, to count the A-s. Not so easy on the eyes.<p>Better name it CUD4AGH if you want to keep it.
Nice, so many gems!<p>> You see, MinorMiner also has a maths learning platform that we sell to schools all over the world. Our platform isn’t particularly good, but we give department heads a generous revenue share and so this tends not to matter. Once a teacher (or “distribution associate” as we like to call them) ...<p>> The reason that we don’t do this already is because most children can’t calculate even a basic 8-bit XOR. I know! I was as shocked as you when I found out. But these kids aren’t stupid; their ignorance isn’t their fault. They’re being let down by a broken system that fails to teach them the skills they need to compete in today’s highly-specialised economy. This is why we’ve successfully lobbied to have XOR calculations added to the first grade syllabus, starting in the coming autumn term.<p>> And what will we do after AI? Cloud computing, ladies and gentlemen, cloud computing. Children are commodity hardware. Our big, audacious goal is to implement an entire computer using them. Everywhere that a computer normally has an electron, we’ll replace it with a school-aged child doing their maths homework.
