   This is nice work. Summarized: by untying word piece embedding sizes from the hidden layer size + sharing parameters between layers, the number of parameters in the model are drastically reduced. They use this headroom to make the hidden la

   I am not sure I follow? I have been using NitroKey Starts with ed25519 and GnuPG for two years without problems? The NitroKey Start is great! I have switched to YubiKeys, since they are more durable and also support U2F/Fido2 and PIV o

   We bought a PlayStation 3 controller on Amazon many years back. It was a pretty good fake, the buttons felt slightly different, but we thought it is just a different production run. After six months or so, Sony disabled this range of counte

   For any high level software engineer, looking to get into embedded development: A lot of Arduino, ESP tutorials do not teach you fundamentals. Even books. I read ~two Arduino books that would write something along the lines of "we ne

   For anyone else using NixOS, https://github.com/nixos-rocm/nixos-rocm by Anthony Cowley works very well. Not just NixOS. Our work AMD GPU server uses Ubuntu 18.04, but I use Anthony's package set for easy use of

   I can never understand why AMD has not thrown its weight around to get support added in PyTorch and TensorFlow. Just for completeness: Tensorflow has (upstream) ROCm support. When training some of our transformer models, the performance d

   the same is not true for glibc, so any dynamically linked applications (i.e. most applications in the past 20 years) have very poor ABI compatibility Other libraries, sure, but when it comes to glibc, this is false. glibc uses symbol vers

    What do you mean by this? There is no default map type. The standard library has types such as BTreeMap and HashMap, that pretty much are what it says on the tin.

    yubikeys can store GPG keys and emulate SSH keys via gpg-agent. Indeed. Same for gnuk keys. I currently use a gnuk key (Nitrokey Start) with Ed25519 and have GPG set up as the SSH agent for SSH. Though I hope to switch to a YubiKey soon,

    You shouldn't just encrypt the keys. If malicious code is running on a machine, they could as well eavesdrop on keystrokes. This is even made simpler by the fact that a large part of the demography uses X11, which is inherently insecur

    For this particular case: if you have GnuPG or SSH private keys, do not store them on-disk. Use a hardware token, such as a gnuk token, or a token with a secure element if you also want resistance against physical key exfiltration. A gnuk-b

    Maybe it has changed later. In the mid 2000s, you definitely had to wait for approval. Some of my projects were rejected. There is still some documentation around the net about approval: Once you complete your registration, you must wait a

    I think the reasoning is that you can host projects on GitHub without them being FLOSS, since you can just start a repository and add code without ever adding a license. If you do not add a license, it is just copyrighted code, and cannot b

    Maybe it has done harm to GNU and the GPL, since they have become less relevant. But despite its problems, GitHub has been a huge net positive for free software. They considerably lowered the bar for making a project available. SourceForge

    Thanks, I finally understood what you are saying. I am sorry for the unclear comments. I'll stop commenting on a phone ;). Indeed, the code uses iswspace to test all characters, wide or normal. Strange design choice. I agree, it&#x

    Take the Darwin version linked from your site. Run perf record wc thefile.txt . Then run perf report and you will see iswspace in the call graph. As I show in [1], removing this call and replacing it by a character match, gives a speed

    It's about iswspace as I mentioned in the parent comment. Replace the line if (iswspace(wch)) by if (wch == L' ' || wch == L'\n' || wch == L'\t' || wch == L'\v' || wch == L'

    You are right! So that's a Darwin oddity, still a wide char function is called in that code path, iswspace, which adds the function call overhead in a tight loop.

    It is not about the character count, but the word count. wc decodes characters to find non-ASCII whitespace as word separators. If you read further in the same man page: White space characters are the set of characters for which the iswspa

    No, it's not faster. They are comparing a Go version that does not do character decoding (which is necessary for correctly counting the number of words under the presence of non-ASCII punctuation) to a C version that does decode charac
