Show HN: Compute polynomials twice as fast
A few years ago my coauthor and I was wondering if we could reduce the number of multiplications used for hashing algorithms. We had a construction and a 100 page proof, but we were not 100% sure it was correct. Now we have a full Lean proof, so we decided to publish it.I made this website to make it easy for anyone how has polynomials to evaluate to see how it would be done using our method, as well as a number of previous approaches by Knuth and others.
