Thanks! Have these actively helped you? There's too much noise around this business...

I'm comfortable with Rust. Why the HW focus? I've heard about FPGAs being used for HFT, but I'm not going for sub-ms frequencies--except if it's unavoidable.

You sound lucky enough to have dodged self-hate. Happy for you. Enjoy your day.

Everyone has their values. It's OK if there's no universal system. I don't want to feel bad if a day passes and I haven't learned or done anything; I trust my intuition and experience to discern between peaceful and warl

I wouldn't have commented if the article kept neutral on when to apply its ideas. But the push for daily learning-reflecting-etc is there. Even the segment you're quoting uses days for accounting. You're downplaying one&#x2

I spent the most part of my PhD trying to convince people that allocators are not simple. But the not-simple part is design , specifically the strategy/policy part. In other words, minimizing fragmentation by adapting to linked progra

I perceive a negative colouring of the "academic" notion in this post. And I totally get some of the pathologies implied: publish-or-perish is a harsh environment, lots of snobbery. With all respect, however, this industry/

There are countless pragmatic reasons to avoid a PhD, and no doubt both the article and other commenters will bring them up. The most constructive thing I can do is share a personal perspective. I am 30 years old. I am working through my

Nah, the alternative that popped in my mind was "phantasizing", so I guess my wording aligns with my feelings. Whether these feelings are healthy is another discussion :D

Were I to design a computer ( both HW & SW), the founding principle should be compatibility with legacy code at no expense of performance or user effort. Stuff like this gives me hope that I'm not merely wet-dreaming.

I see your point. I've had my fair share of trouble as well. Talking about this stuff on HN after the storm has passed, from a financially stable place, is a luxury on its own. Nevertheless, I don't see any value on acknowledgin

Great, useful article. Remember: the same principle holds in the world of the psyche. Those people walking around, seeming effortlessly happy? Unless if they're little children, a horrendous amount of effort has been invested to their

They claim their mission is to ensure that AGI benefits all humanity. What a preposterous lie. I remember asking myself when ChatGPT was launched: "why would any sane person massively deploy such a thing?" It's the money and

Wait a minute: 1. Formulating DSA as ILP doesn't scale. TelaMalloc starts from this fact as motivation. 2. There's no 1-1 mapping between tensors and allocations. Buffer re-use is important. 3. There's room for offline DSA in

by romesmoke 2y ago
TBH I don't know what you mean either :D I know that DSA is NP-complete, and none of the existing deep learning compilers implement the theoretical SOTA (you're probably referring to the 2+ε bound by Buchsbaum et al.) I also know

Hopefully I'll defend next summer. Papers-and-code-wise, I haven't published the "final" thing yet. Right now I'm looking into integrating it with IREE, to get some end-to-end figures.

by romesmoke 2y ago
Hm, you sound like you approached it from the theoretical ML side. My strategy was much less sophisticated: I implemented the Buchsbaum et al. paper you posted in another comment of yours.

An interesting variation is Dynamic Storage Allocation, in which the rectangles can slide only alongside one axis. AKA "static memory allocation", since the heights of the rectangles can be interpreted as buffer sizes, and their w

The notion about "groups" is nowhere in the article. Your comment, however, is written as if belonging to some group is necessary. Worse, your comment delineates the example groups it gives based on social media apps! ...and the

For a more elaborate, complete take on the value of attention, I can't recommend the work of Sir Iain McGilchrist enough.
