would be even cooler if it employed the accelerator! (unless this ggml library is doing that under the hood) i assume it has unified memory, but maybe not little numbers...

numba seems to hit the sweet spot for most numerics for me. it can get a little annoying with type inference issues but overall it seems the most concise and least hassle for moving loops into optimized machine code.

theoretically. it's never going to match the input exactly though and therefore it will generate noise of its own. it's conceivable that there would be less variation in this noise, due to quantized nature of the system that synth

yeah that's a recent thing though. it supports a bunch of customized toolchains, has backwards compatibility for major VS releases over the years (being able to use older compilers can be important for large projects sometimes) and sup

ok so it's basically like 0bin for google apps storage. that's a step in the right direction... it's confusing because they present it in the context of email. although i suppose that's probably what customers are most w

i think i read all the blog posts and announcements, yet i can't for the life of me find a technical explanation of what exactly this does. it looks like it could be like s/mime, or possibly a scheme for encrypting the contents o

not one mention of cmake's real strength... it is cross platform and constructs project files for the build system of your choice. if you have people using visual studio, they can continue to use it as it will generate project files f

interesting. i always thought that IR LEDs wouldn't be bright enough, guess they are (at least in total darkness)! as mentioned all over in the thread, adding jitter would probably help. worth noting that every camera is going to have

nasacort/flonase can be quite good for opening up congestion, but please beware of any vision symptoms as both are associated with glaucoma and cataracts under long term use regimes. read the insert/talk to your doctor. that said,

i wonder how much all the redundant and slightly different resources on the internet today close that gap... this paper is from 1984. also would be curious how good today's llms are at getting someone to grok a topic they're havi

i think maybe the LLM team at facebook was bummed out because twitter bullied them on their last public release (and they didn't ignore it), and this time they decided to sit down and nerd flex by doing some undeniably excellent perfor

the focus on non-proprietary training datasets and computational efficiency for the purposes of reducing costs and democratizing access is pretty cool! it is interesting how model performance seems to scale almost linearly with size for the

in research, typically the behavioral tasks are randomized to avoid this sort of thing. for practical purposes and legal decision-making, i have always envisioned a protocol where the patient is required to repeat back a random string in or

mmm... i disagree. fault tolerance is more of a reliability property that sits outside of the performance of a discrete logic or signal processing system, it describes how well a system can remain functioning in the face of adverse conditio

machine learning is good at end to end closed loop analog signal analysis problems (decode/translate/synthesize) and electrical engineeringish tasks, as it always has been ... but i'm not convinced that it is yet good at the

nicely done! especially liked the clear discussion on the nuances involving smtp envelopes vs. message headers and the concise discussions of extensions like spf, dkim and rbl.

ubuntu started out as "debian, but with more up to date packages and some light polish." as a long time debian user in the 90s, ubuntu was an exciting new step for debian based distros.

"As the story goes, Walt Disney, Google, and Amazon were founded in suburban California garages." huh? i thought amazon started as an online bookseller in seattle originally conceived by a young nyc quant fund employee who decided

i think tanenbaum will be vindicated in the end. monolithic kernels are like 90s computer networks with perimeter security. if i were to guess, i'd guess that the future is microkernels with some sort of hardware accelerated secure mes

doing something like this means you have to pay attention to a few things: * back/forward button behavior * cache behavior * bookmarks over time surprising there's no discussion of it.

my childhood had computers that had lots of rough edges and required a lot of problem solving in order to just get them to function. i can't help but wonder if today's tech gadgets that both work consistently, have beautifully pol

mcas seems sort of different, in that it was a software/computer patch for a hole that was opened up in the physical handling characteristics of the aircraft as part of the retrofit to make it more efficient. it seems clear to me that
