🚨New paper 🚨 Fast Flexible Paxos, my new consensus algorithm with Aleksey Charapko & @mort___, shows how Flexible Paxos can safely operate without a leader and thus without the typical leader bottleneck. 📜Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2008.02671 💻Blog post: hh360.user.srcf.net/blog/2020/11/f…

Since 1969 Strassen’s algorithm has famously stood as the fastest way to multiply 2 matrices - but with #AlphaTensor we’ve found a new algorithm that’s faster, with potential to improve efficiency by 10-20% across trillions of calculations per day! dpmd.ai/dm-alpha-tensor
