My company was using Iroh for a production distributed ML training system & we LOVED it. The team was incredibly responsive even before we hooked up with an enterprise support contract, they're incredibly knowledgeable and the libr

This title is moderately clickbait-y and comes with a subtle implication that Rust might be getting removed from the kernel. IMO it should be changed to "Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental"

Hi - Psyche developer here. Happy to answer any/all questions about the project :)

iroh's stuff is great but their local peer discovery can't work in a browser, since it uses an mdns-like protocol to do it

big ++ for iroh - using it for a project at work, it's evolving really nicely, has reliable holepunching, and the team is super responsive and happy to dig thru gigs of logs to find a bug :)

It's unlikely you can. They're generally only willing to set up corporate deals to sell data in massive bulk. You could buy a domain name, set up a decently real looking website with a corpo looking email, then go to any broker li

I learned recently that Charlieplexing is kind of like the discrete version of the Radon Transform: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radon_transform

you could absolutely use DisTrO for federated learning. The DeMo optimizer on its own doesn't solve the adverserial aspects of training on local-only data, nor does it solve tensor parallelism across devices, so you're still limit

This specific model is only trained on 100 billion tokens, so it's not SOTA by any means, but we've got designs on larger training runs later :)

Yo! I'm on the team at Nous that built this tech, happy to answer any questions :)

by arilotter 2y ago
That's not something that DisTrO solves, but there's plenty of research in that area! See https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.11913 , https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.01288 , https://arxiv.o

we're excited to drop the paper & code and let you run the code for yourself to see otherwise !! coming in the next couple months :)

by arilotter 2y ago
We're excited about the potential and want to find other folks also excited about it that are interested in working for/with us to build things on the foundations of DisTrO! Plus also it's so cool and mind boggling to us that

We're pretty confident it's not a fluke, and paper + code are the next step, within a couple months. It's not "synchronize every step", but it's "do something every step". We double and triple and qua

I can confirm this is not a projected related to Nous Research in any way, just an unfortunate naming collision

you can! you can also run it on a real iOS device using this tech. it's explicitly documented in the repo :)

It's a number in a database that's assigned an "owner". Some NFTs can be controlled by a central authority, kind of like your bank account, and some of them are totally decentralized and can only be modified/traded

AFAIK they are using a reverse-engineered Apple binary that does the real iMessage - and since Apple doesn't update apps outside of iOS updates, Apple can't, in theory, patch it without also breaking iMessage on older iPhones.

Beeper Mini does not MITM messages - it's a reverse engineering of how iMessage works, and runs entirely on-device, without putting messages thru Beeper's servers. It talks directly to Apple and pretends to be an iPhone. You'

Yes, but only for the stress it causes me in thinking really really hard all day and then being exhausted at night, which i think is not unique to a computers career. I don't regret it in that it's an incredibly high paying job wi

Built one of these with my dad when I was about 8, and this was one of the things that got me bitten by the "working with computers" bug.
