The autoregressive transformer LLMs aren't even the only way to do text generation. There are now diffusion based LLMs, StripedHyena based LLMs, and float matching based LLMs. There's a wide amount of research into other sorts of

Pixi uses uv for resolving pypi deps: https://prefix.dev/blog/uv_in_pixi If you look closely, pixi used `resolvo to power `rip` then switched from a `rip` solver to a `uv` solver

Stumbled upon this paper while trying to learn about conditional flow matching. Apparently, we can now use a similar technique that supercharged Stable Diffusion 3 (conditional flow matching), and apply it to text generation. And the 1.7B m

`uv` is not a drop-in replacement for `conda` in the sense that `conda` also handles non-python dependencies, has its own distinct api server for packages, and has its own packaging yaml standard. `pixi` basically covers `conda` while using

Poetry is pretty slow. I think `uv` will ultimately displace it on that basis alone.

Did not realize it was written in python of all things! Inspiring me to right now to write more FOSS software!

I'm using this right now! It's awesome!

It's interesting how Alphafold... which is a 3d generative model from 1d protein sequences is all fancy and complicated with its internal data representation in comparison to this paper which basically just voxelizes the input data and

Yeah I guess they probably did the standard thing... whatever minecraft uses.

by LarsDu88 2y ago
Very cool. I wonder if the fact that it featurizes 3d objects using voxels can be memory intensive considering only the surface voxels are actually relevant for 3d structure makin'

We can blame him for the 10x electricity savings for lighting we all enjoy now thanks to blue LEDs filling out the color spectrum for visible light

I think a good analogue for this situation is that of the Nobel in Physics for the Blue LED. The first blue LED was built by Herb Maruska and Wally Rhines at Stanford in 1972. However it was incredibly dim. It took decades of focused and su

The cabinet is quietly being stuffed by folks who are well known for spreading Russian disinformation about the Ukraine War. Musk and Sacks fall in that category, but most of all -- Tulsi Gabbard who will head all US intelligence agencies.

I'm pretty sure that was a typo. Short tenure, not short stature

Intel does have GPUs on the market which are good on the silicon side, but simply do not have the same level of software support that companies like Nvidia have built up (Nvidia has drivers that are backwards compatible for 20 years, Intel

I think this was a typo. He had the shortest tenure at 5 years. He wasn't the physically shortest guy. Intel greatest ceo Andy Grove may not have been particularly tall... spent his childhood as a malnourished holocaust survivor

Positive counterexample? So you want Intel to go from a semiconductor manufacturing and design firm into a consulting and outsourcing company?

I don't think Intel manufactures enough transgender chips to make Musk care about buying it

Intel should have someone like Jim Keller on the board. Maybe even software folks like Chris Lattner. Not Boeing, GE, merger and acquisition clowns.

You do realize that it takes at least 5 years for new products to come to fruition in semi right? And Intel brought GPUs to market under Gelsinger's tenure. This isn't some software startup that just pivots from widget A to widget

Just thought this article really drives home how a behemoth company like Intel in the midst of a turnaround can be completely kneecapped by a board of directors (virtually none of whom have any semiconductor experience!)

The latter. I guess people are more malleable than we thought.

Strategically terrible idea. Russian state media has signaled they want Poland back. They want Finland back. Shiogu has stated outright a desire to roll tanks into Paris. It's in almost every European nation's interest to keep the
