It depends on what model you’re running, and for what workload. For personal use (one or two convos at a time) with models that fit in gpu memory, pcie bandwidth doesn't really matter. Just try and be on gen 3 x8 or higher. Llama is de

> Given the lack of forecasting signal, the obvious next step then is to seek out external (exogenous) features in the real world that can help prediction models. After all many real world time series are event-driven (FX, bitcoin) and h

To be fair, the article calls that out specifically at the end: > What makes this especially frustrating is the lack of transparency. Every other ADS company in the NHTSA database, Waymo, Zoox, Aurora, Nuro, provides detailed narratives

“Lacking” implies it’s an unintentional deficiency. Rust has deliberately taken a “batteries not included” approach due to learned experiences in python, where many std-lib packages are basically abandoned/not recommended anymore. This

> But it is a problem, because somewhere along the line one of those indirect dependencies is going to start conflicting with something else in the graph; the bigger the graph, the more conflicts. Rust is statically compiled, so it’s pos

Why do you say shuffle is “SIMD’s killer app”? I’ve only dabbled in vector instructions from a learning perspective, and seen others mention it’s important too, but have yet to understand why.

Those numbers aren’t directly comparable — caches usually trade off size for performance, and Apple’s L1 sits in performance somewhere between Ryzen’s L1 and L2. Ditto for Apple’s L2 versus Ryzen’s L2 and L3. I can’t remember the exact arti

Road/car dominance wasn’t exactly established in a free market either. There’s a whole host of subsidies for building/maintaining roads paid for by everyone [1]. There’s the regulatory advantages driving has (ex: the common zoning

Jane street had a puzzle related to this, called eldrow [1], a few months ago. The gist is you’re trying to find the worst sequence of (hard mode) guesses possible for any word in the wordle set. Their site shows submissions of up to 16 wor

I’m not sure how fuschia does it, or how feature-based capabilities work, but Cheri[1] uses capabilities for memory management and isolation. It uses a couple of techniques, like wide/tagged pointers, object ids, and a special hardware

The memory ordering is different, too. Apple gets around it by adding support for intel ordering in the m1 cpus, and then changing to that mode on a per-process basis. https://twitter.com/ErrataRob/status/133173538

The typing (>= python 3.6?) and collections (>= python 3.8?) packages have definitions for a bunch of protocols (basically interfaces for structural typing). So for that List[int] example, you probably want to take a(n) Iterable[int],

I would argue the M1 Pro/Max are targeted at much higher end workloads than an i3. Light workloads (web browsing, launching apps), don’t need many high performance cores, since they’re mostly single-threaded. What is interesting is how
