tf-nightly-2.0-preview is an abandoned early TensorFlow 2.0 pre-release nightly package. It is no longer maintained or published on PyPI, and the name is unregistered — meaning anyone can publish a malicious package under that name. The algorithms.ipynb notebook installs it silently with pip install -U -q tf-nightly-2.0-preview, which would resolve and install whatever an attacker registers on PyPI.

This PR replaces it with the current canonical nightly package name tf-nightly.

Security impact: Any user running the notebook cell would silently install an attacker-controlled package with full access to their environment, credentials, and filesystem.
