Actually read like one of those AI-fueled cringe LinkedIn post.

Tahoe UI sucks and is a dumpster fire but for the most parts it's still just normal MacOS. Windows 11 on the other hand actively hinders my productivity.

Where? I have tried Bluesky a couple of times last year and it's minuscule compared to X. I just need to create a new account on X, then follow some popular account like ICML, ICLR, arXiv.stats, arXiv.ML and I'll get more research

Lawfully? How many IPs have they stolen from universities and companies across the world?

Yeah probably not. A large amount of posts and videos from social medias are blocked in Vietnam, it's still a communist country with very low level of free speech and press freedom, albeit still better than China. Source: I used to liv

TBH that looks pretty decent to me. GPU programming is very very complicated. A simple kernel in torch is hundreds to thousands of LOCs, with much worse style. I agree with some poster above, the code looks hard simply because the problem i

I don't know why you brought up VAC as an example. It is a horrible AC, so bad so that an entire service (FaceIT) was built to capitalize on that. VAC is still a laughing joke in CS2, literally unplayable when you reached 15k+. Riot Va

I think your understanding of MoE is wrong. Depending on the settings, each token can actually be routed to multiple experts, called experts choice architecture. This makes it easier to parallelize the inference (each expert on a different

Whether you think infinity exists or not is up to you, but transfinite mathematics is very useful, it's used to prove theorems like Goodstein's sequence in a surprisingly elegant way. This sequence doesn't really have anythin

Vulkan was one of the hardest thing I've ever tried to learn. It's so unintuitive and tedious that seemingly drains the joy out of programming. Tiny brain =(

This reminds of a friend I had in college. We were assigned to the same group coding an advanced calculator in C. This guy didn't know anything about programming (he was mostly focused on his side biz of selling collector sneakers), so

Of course there will be fallout, but much less severe than a meltdown on land. Water is extremely effective in containing radiation, and the ocean is so huge it will be dilutet to neligible amount very quickly.

Unfortunately the most popular distro (Ubuntu - Canonical) is behaving more and more like Microsoft. I updated to 25.10 last week and it decided to ignore my settings, reset the snap priority and reinstall the snap firefox package, all with

It's the same amount of pixels though, just with reduced bitrate for unfocused regions so you save time in encoding, transmitting, and decoding, essentially reducing latency. For foveated rendering, the amount of rendered pixels are ac

This explains why it suddenly failed for me yesterday and the downloads were limited to 360p only. `dnf install deno` and it was back to normal.

Encoding/decoding tokens doesn't automatically mean lossy. Images, at least in term of raw pixels can be a very inefficient form of storing information from information theoretic perspective. Now, the difficulty is in achieving an

Enduring based on what metrics? Fornite is now an 8-year old massively (and still is) successful game. And the Battlefield series is actually 7 years older than the Souls series if you count from Demon's Souls. Comparing these 3 games

Really? How low is this level actually? Because I remember my OpenGL class' professor did this in less than 50 lines.

You mean autotune? I think 10 minutes is pretty normal, torch.compile('max-autotune') can be much slower than that for large models.

There are some not so niche communities, like FlashAttention and LinearFlashAttention repos. New code/optimizations get committed on a weekly basis. They find a couple of percents here and there all the time. How useful their kernels a

But this is obvious? (741 + 963)/2 = (700+900)/2 + (40+60)/2 + (1+3)/2, it's just average in each decimal place.

This has nothing to do with the birthday paradox. That paradox presumes a small countable state space (365) and a large enough # of observations. In this case, it's a mathematical fact that 2 random vector in high dimensional space is

I find X immensely helpful for what I'm interested in: programming and machine learning. Most if not all of the people whose research & work I'm interested in are on X (Carmack included). I think you need to deal with your own

I'm an Asian who was born and raised in a tropical weather region of my country. I'm now living in the PNW region of the US and it's always miserable from November-April. Vitamin D helps but it's not the same.

What a stupid take. This TCN business is just dumb. Because of this, US consulates in Canada have been swamped with visa appointments from H1B holders, making everything harder for casual visitors.

This is good. Canada consulate has been swamped with TCN visa appointments for a very long time. And this is the norm for many countries, including the EU.

You are being confused with #samples needed for perfect reconstruction, i.e. Nyquist sampling frequency. Fourier series/transforms work regardless of the bandwidth of the signal, as long as the integral exists, i.e. it must vanish at i

Anecdotally but Firefox has become slower and slower in the past few years for me. I have no idea what is going on behind the scene but it's getting nearly unusable. Tried Edge yesterday and it was so much faster, but the amount of ads
