One approach is to build a compiler for a small but useful part of the model space. For example, Fabrice Bellard's LibNC ( https://bellard.org/libnc ) handles transformers and LSTMs, but no convolutions. NN-512 ( https:&

I have been writing C for decades, but now I almost exclusively use Go. What I mean is that if you like C99, you will probably like Go. Go can be understood as a modernization of C that doesn't abandon C's simplicity but adds a fe

Go is very stable, and 12 years old.

If you want a modern C, use Go. Unless you need maximum performance (SIMD, GPUs, etc.) you should use a developer-efficient, productive language. Well-written Go executes almost as fast as C, and you will be more productive as a programmer.

NN-512 ( https://NN-512.com ) is an example of using intrinsics instead of inline assembly for a performance-critical application, and getting very, very good code generation results from GCC.

The psychedelic rock band Elder has subreddit r/elder and you can imagine the geriatric misposting that occurs. If you haven't heard Elder, listen to this masterpiece: https://youtu.be/-nDsO30bUx0 Epic.

Yes, the legal system. Tesla is being sued. Did you read the article, or not?

It sounds like you would be a good culture-fit at Tesla.

If I made a semen-tasting joke like that on Slack at work, I would be reprimanded or fired. It is obviously inappropriate as public communication from Tesla's CEO.

We're talking about a CEO who intentionally smeared the reputation of another man by publicly insinuating that the man was a pedophile. And TITS, always good for a laugh: "Am thinking of starting new university: Texas Institut

There's no excuse for sexual harassment, public sexual humiliation. This kind of behavior is unacceptable, let alone from the CEO of a company like Tesla. We're talking about a CEO who intentionally smeared the reputation of anoth

Tesla's CEO was sexually harassing the chair of the Senate Finance Committee on Twitter the other day: "Why does ur pp look like u just came?" And let's not forget another tweet from Tesla's CEO (Oct 27, 2020

The best approach is to generate custom code, with compile-time constant loop roll count and compile-time constant tail iteration count, like NN-512 ( https://NN-512.com ) does for almost every loop. Write your code generator in a

I've been writing C for two decades. But in recent years I have used Go as a replacement for C whenever possible. I think of Go as an improved C, with slightly different performance characteristics. In your opinion, what is the advanta

Proof-of-stake was scheduled for December 2021, but it slipped to first-half 2022. Don't kid yourself, it won't slip forever. This is going to happen, soon.

Demand for GPUs for Ethereum mining goes to zero in Q1/Q2 2022, when the beacon chain merges with mainnet. Quote: "This will mark the end of proof-of-work for Ethereum, and the full transition to proof-of-stake." https:&#x2F

Or, do your inference on a $10/month ($0.015 per hour) AVX-512 server at Vultr ( https://www.vultr.com/products/cloud-compute/ ) with NN-512 ( https://NN-512.com )

What I still can't believe is that the world chose git over hg. Why would you use git if you could use Mercurial instead?

You're right: "In order to get to this point, Intel had to cut down some of the features of its P-core, and improve some features on the E-core. The biggest thing that gets the cut is that Intel is losing AVX-512 support inside Al

Please measure the AVX-512 ResNet50 inference performance (e.g., https://NN-512.com ). Does Alder Lake AVX-512 finally provide an advantage over AVX2 (the way it should)? Is Intel serious about making AVX-512 worthwhile? Will AMD

Concatenate all the code into a single file and use vim to regexp search and annotate it. A good way to get up to speed on a complicated pile of C++ filth.
