I feel like Jeff hawkins was working on this with HTMs, but they never really took off. I suspect it was hardware adaptability based, memory access patterns for sparse graph training aren't ideal candidates for t/gpus.

I understand charge time is a concern, but it is'nt the theoretical limitation of really any battery technology. From the computing parlance it's embarrassingly parallel. More, smaller cells allows for more current => faster ch

Do they mean deterministic k-means, k-means++ ... ? Global optimal k-means is NP-Hard, so linear speedups aren't terribly helpful. It's nice, until you add more input. Standard k-means would be nice, or the k-means++ seed algorith

I've considered the move to wired not for quality but for the sad state that Bluetooth pairing headphones has become. Theycan't just be headphones anymore; They require their own app and pairing protocol. They want 19 different to

probably a lot of economics going on, such as early age vendor lock-in, and new market acquisition loss-leaders, but ultimately it's not cutting edge hardware. So the same reason the laptop you bought 2 years ago is half the cost it is

i agree, not just the multinomial sampling that causes hallucinations. If that were the case, setting temp to 0 and just argmax over the logits would "solve" hallucinations. while round-off error causes some stochasticity it'

for an interesting reversal of the "problem" of the speed of light, IEX is a stock exchange design to combat HFT by adding a physical speed bump by way of 38 miles of fiber optic cable. The general idea being to level the playing

i agree, also add to that, that many python modules are foss projects that are maintained on a limited basis or budget. Refactoring code that may have some unsafe async routines would be costly for an org, and dreadful for recreation. So y

what was the position? what are your credentials to fulfill that position? I feel like cover letters, and recommendations are just icing on the cake of core skills and experiences, not the entire cake.

On the surface, cutting less essential resources during a power supply event makes sense, the ranking of essentialness seems problematic. While the decision to stop dumping megawatts of power to train a companies next gen LLM to be used for

I've used pbzip2 which takes the same parallel blocked compression approach 7zip seems to be taking (using AI's analysis of the changes). Theoretically the compression is less efficient, but i haven't noticed a difference in

It depends on what level of nuts you mean. Some are AGI skeptics about LLMs, theyre probably right, there is likely more breakthroughs required before true AGI. But AGI isn't required to completely disrupt a ton of good, well-paid prof

By defined format I of course don't mean random, or that it doesn't have structure, you have to be able to read it back otherwise what would be the point. I mean when you write out jpeg it has to adhere to a standard otherwise it

maybe it was my prompt, but there seems to be far too much interpretation after the image embedding. In my examples it implicitly started to summarize parts of the text, unfortunately incorrectly. On an invoice with typed lettering it summa

gpus dont implement complex number fp math, you have to bolt it on as extra logic. cufft works because you can recursively predict the imaginary and real component paths in the butterfly network. between layers you have fft->ifft , is th

this seems to follow the similar FNO work by nvidia, and switching to frequency domain is usually in any computer scientist's toolbox at this point, however, I'm curious if this translates to real gains for real architectures. FFT

From my experience, there has been a noticeable decline in PhD positions available within academia, likely due to tenure and career longevity, and reduced retirement benefits. As a result, many PhDs are forced into the private sector. Howev

i think the article is confused. i write quite a bit of SIMD code for HPC and c is my goto for low level computing because of the low level memory allocation in c. In fact that tends to be the lion share of work to implement simd operations

i certainly used this trick back in my college days, prompted by a similar technique for "seeing" 3d stereoscopes on a computer monitor. I feel like i learned it somewhere on Eric Weisstein's Mathworld because the 3d objects
