Considering the system only has a single H100, why would it be that performant?

Thanks for posting this. Right now, I am grappling with RSI and I haven't been able to program for more than a few days in the past month. I am not even typing this, but using the Voice Access feature of Windows 11 in order to input th

'Autism' when applied as a slur to everything and everyone has grown to mean 'talent.' It is very rare to see it referred to the actual medical condition these days.

They do that a lot, like what with GPT-2 being too dangerous to release. Anyone remember that. How many years ago was that?

Mojo is a language that thinks it will impress the Python programmers with its ability to implement matrix multiplies directly in it. I don't think it will be that easy, but it might replace Cython.

It is a pity Concurrent ML didn't take off. F# has a great library called Hopac that implements it, but it is 50 times less popular than its closest competitor Rx. Also seconding that other post. Actor models and async concurrency are

Another thing that could happen is a fundamental algorithmic advance to replace backprop. The brain doesn't use it, and backprop doesn't have answers for how to do long term credit assignment and continuous learning. It works poor

If somebody else made a language similar to Spiral, I’d have been happy to use it instead of spending my time creating it.

Here is a demo of a backend for a Process-In-Memory chip. It is a demonstration of Spiral's ability for heterogeneous programming. I want to do more backends for different kinds of devices, and posting this on HN to gauge the interest

The whole point of programming is automation. Having a tool that would make programming much more efficient is not a failure condition for programmers.

If you have a function, there is a certain equivalence (in terms of compilation) where you can either allocate it as a closure at runtime or emulate the effect of that by just tracking it fully at compile time and inlining it a the site of

Sorry, that Spiral is an entirely different language that has nothing to do with mine! The only reason I linked to it is because somebody in the Reddit PL sub thread brought my attention to it. The docs on the main page are what you want.

* Julia's type system can reflect on tuples just fine at both compile time and run time and we do so all the time. Then why do I nowhere see that actually being done? Reflection on tuples should be done much like pattern matching on li
