> Additionally, 512-bit wide vectors are just too big - the resulting vector units take up too much die space even on big cores, and the power consumption causes issues causing said dies to downclock. This is no longer true, citing [0]:

The subtitle for the talk is "a security focused introduction to eBPF". I guess they changed it to give a bit of a heads-up for those just reading the posts title, but it's not the subtitle chosen by the author.

Deep Learning with Python (2nd ed), by Francois Chollet. If you don't mind about learning the part where you program, it's got a lot of beginner/intermediate concepts clearly explained. If you do dive into the programming exa

Yes, but it stems from the fact that some phone manufacturers decided to reuse the hardware IP they already had in place for JPEG compression instead of paying for another chip that could do MPEG. It works, but it's not compression. Th

I keep a few projects at work where we train models with Keras+TensorFlow. Twice before I tried to switch to PyTorch, because it did have nicer features/syntax for research and SOTA models, but deploy and support was limited on the too

Yes, and Sony has been really impressive with their cameras lately. It looks like finally Canon and Nikon woke up and start trying to match their (unfortunately for me, Olympus decided to sell their camera business? Did somebody buy them ye

Compact cameras (under $500) usually have great macro lenses too, though you miss the flexibility of being able to change the lens. I've owned for quite a while a Micro Four Thirds camera from Olympus and that's a very good spot t

From my experience with deep learning I can eyeball it: one or two orders of magnitude. The fine details may be different on this particular problem. In DL in general, if you have sort of equivalent CPU/GPUs (think a 5600 vs GeForce 30

Not just on this project, but I've seen a few more not moving past 3.8 for support and I don't quite get why that's been happening. Did something happen on 3.9 or later that didn't caught my eye?

I was going to mention this: on 2019 I started a niche channel, through some good timed posts on reddit I gathered traction, and then my own interest in the channel waned. I still have ~400 subscribers (it stayed at about the all-time high

We've seen over the past 2 years that people really want to stick to their habits, no matter what. So I'm not against suggesting a _slight change_ in habits. Even something like changing cow meat for other types of meat (lamb, pig

For those surprised at the dot product benchmark on 3.1 [0] where np.dot() is substantially faster when using floats over ints, the things is simply that numpy can use BLAS libraries for floats, but not for ints (because BLAS libs don'

DFT as in Density Functional Theory, not the Discrete Fourier Transform. Yes, in the context of the article (quantum physics) it may not need clarification, but to some of us having the acronym expanded helps.

I got a weird feeling from the article in which the author seems to know quite a bit about numpy (citing a few parts of the source even!) but then it uses python loops all around! Just like you, I'm not really following the domain calc

I think that part of why the tokenization is a proble for math here is that it doesn't seem to be carrying overflow into the left token. Anyway, I haven't worked with GPT in detail to do a deeper analysis than that hunch, so take

I must have conflated Keccak's "slow without specific hardware/extensions" with "slow on purpose against GPUs". Both are similar (why would a GPU have an operation for cryptography?) but obviously not the same

I remember headlines saying that, but the most I'm finding is that the paper that claimed such links was quickly retracted from bioRxiv[0]. I'm a bit lost as to how misinformation played in placing a Nobel Prize winner in the mix,
