Maxwell Nye Says Eric Factored a Really Big Number

Maxwell Nye, a research engineer, posted that during grad school he ran NeurIPS paper experiments on Eric's personal 1080Ti GPU. He noted that Eric would use the card to factor large numbers whenever it sat idle. Nye added that Eric has now factored a really big one. The statement appears as a direct quote in the supplied evidence and attributes the factoring activity solely to Eric. No independent confirmation of the outcome or the identity of Eric is provided in the packet. The remark stands as Nye's own recollection of past hardware sharing and a current claim about factoring progress.
