When the user is understood as yet another human who doesn’t know what they want, the insanity returns! Because an average customer usually doesn’t have practically grounded wants.

What can be done to prevent hostile take over of scientific research from humans by AI ? I hear lot of complaints and hue and cry (fair enough) but are there positive ideas on what to do about this ? (Regressing back to being secretive abo

I don’t know why you got downvoted but you have a point. It looks as if OP doesn’t write for readership and his posts contents have similar characteristics of reckless abandon for conventional norms for a tech post. Too many cross referenc

Answer is, you do comprehensive unit testing irrespective of Microsoft or any other company doing it. Also, as the OP of your comment posted, you are over estimating the software quality of these big name corporate companies. It can’t be th

I wish they took some time to reflect on how best to name a model. Like, would it make sense to add the model version at the end like every other artifacts labelled in software engineering!

The recent breakthrough of llm’s solving major open problem’s in math is a direct contradiction to the article. But, there is some truth to the article and perhaps it is more true in chat based interactions. The agentic, hands-off mode migh

Nice find! The final paragraph of the Conclusion is amazingly prescient! "Significantly, we found that translation quality as indicated by BLEU score continues to improve with increasing language model size, at even the largest sizes c

You should read that essay! The model is capable of producing phd level research on it's own with minimal set of prompt's. I was sad because of this paragraph: "That view is that there is still a great deal of value in strugg

I am glad to see this today - after reading Tim gower's recent post on chatgpt 5.5 pro's phd level research ability I was feeling slightly sad about the future of math research. Interestingly enough, the moment I saw the title I t

Try mimalloc. I have prototyped a feature on top of mimalloc and while effort was a dead end, the code (this was around 2020) was nicely written and well maintained and it was fun to hack on it. When I swapped jemalloc in our system with mi

My original question is to understand why it is considered as huge tolerance and what should be considered low tolerance. I am suspecting the paper’s intention is not to compare apples and oranges. They are trying to optimize fp32 baseline

Why do you think it is a huge tolerance ? (Just curious since it is not clear to me if that will lead to too much of reduction in numerical accuracy compared to the speedup)

what is the GED you are referring to here ?

by beyonddream 1y ago
Yeah no idea what it is, so I asked copilot, and it says CLP stands for Calculus Learning Project. Makes sense but don’t know if it is accurate :)

I haven't read the article yet but the moment I saw the writer is "Jordana Cepelewicz" I knew it is going to be great! I have read few of her past articles and they were excellent think pieces.

I have been programming in C professionally for the past ~4 years on a multi-threaded application in the ads industry and that is central to the business. C has lot of documented "foot-guns" but most of it (if not all of it) can b

Do you suggest any book that does disambiguate between polynomial and polynomial function (i thought they were equivalent!) ?
