i'm gonna get downvoted for elitism but it's very clearly "aspirational upvotes" from people that don't actually know any ML and won't ever end up learning any. to wit: no one that actually studies seriously sp

i didn't mean to nitpick and it's not nitpicky since there are now open toolchains (though not for xilinx) that you support verilog as a frontend http://www.clifford.at/yosys/ http://www.clifford.a

you don't need vivado to modify the hdl, you need vivado (or some other proprietary xilinx toolchain) to produce the bitstream which actually deploys to the fpga.

i read polya's book as an undergrad to my detriment. 10 years later and having "solved" several problems, i can authoritatively say that it is not how difficult problems are solved. the real "how to solve it" for pr

there is some slight difference but i don't remember what it is. i wrote a blog post about abel-ruffini based on those two videos and i remember there being some things that were clearer in one rather than the other (but i don't r

is this the first instance of an article title that ends with a question mark where the answer is in fact yes?

arnold's proof is the most intuitive and what made it click after years of being responsible for understanding it (several years of algebra at the undergrad and grad level): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeRXVL6qPk4

Lol this is exactly what I preemptively alluded to - how we (as a culture) enable this kind of behavior. It becomes even worse when you realize that at least the ultra wealthy pay people for the right to abuse them and von Neumann et al are

lol people don't understand that science at gerard 't hooft's level is just as petty and vulgar as your local bar. what i mean is very accomplished scientists brag and sneer and bluster all the time - they feel entitled to an

Without reading the paper, I think you have it a little backwards - the IR doesn't itself allow for more general functions. More general functions are possible (in theory) because the frontend (this Triton language) is decoupled from t

you're trying to say because a decoder maps n -> 2^n that it's comparable to a QC. lol. my friend you clearly don't understand interference and entanglement. btw the circuits in quantum circuits clearly aren't just co

lol doesn't this create perverse incentives - i.e. you're incentivized to actually make Julia slower sine it'll lead to being able to charge more for compute :p

by anon_tor_12345 5y ago
sure but it doesn't hurt that you have infinite data too (i.e. the thing most other ML research is bound by). like you can't argue that it's not a very comfortable corner to be in wrt being able to publish.

if you're wondering why lots of these differentiable pipelines are tasked with learning physics (and what that has to do with google) the answer is that this is "compute oriented development". by "compute oriented develo
