My product is a web B2C SaaS that will be initially targeted at hobbyists/beginner/intermediate programmers, so I think getting them to believe in the product will either require a killer demo or a free tier they can play with whi

This makes a lot of sense: Ideally, we'd want a small (<20) amount of "future power users" as our focus group, since we imagine these users would provide us with the most most powerful growth via word-of-mouth if we work e

I am very curious what the authors of this work think of MLIR! OpenCL is an interesting compilation target, I was under the impression that vendor implementations ended resulting in high variance in performance results when porting OpenCL t

Background: I discovered that pip's search was down, so I decided to make my own API. I then discovered that pypi.org actually has a JSON API, so I should probably scrape that and provide a proper CLI utility.

From a Nintendo fan’s PoV, this probably one of the highest possible honors. The bigger concern would be never being made aware that it ever happened.

Intel’s MKL + their compiler + their CPUs with the latest SIMD extensions is still one of the best stacks for Scientific programming. Get a scientist to write some single-core kernel in C or C++ language, and that compiler will work seriou

It'll be interesting to see how feature support vs the ISA extension system plays out for RISC-V. IIRC, the main reason for the 32-bit instruction vs 16-bit width is the compressed extension, which got stuffed into the "general&qu

I have used R a few times now, and I definitely agree with the statement that thinking in vectors is central to writing good R scripts. However, as a computer engineer and performance junkie, its unfortunate that it doesn't get as much

Interesting project! I like the config file. The readme also has a good example. Can you go a bit more into detail as to why I would pick this over functional.lru_cache?

There's PGF/TikZ[1], but from what i've seen, it appears a bit clunky. These days I usually see packages which are basically convenience wrappers living above TikZ for common usecases (e.g. visualizing neural networks in pape

I'm a bit late to the reply, but I wanted to thank you for the succinct reponse. This is the exact sort of thing I was looking for when I made my comment.

This is a very interesting claim. I find it credible because it stands to reason that projects like DeepSpeed[1] and TorchScript[2] wouldn't need to exist if inference performance of research PyTorch models was satisfactory for product

This seems really cool, but I don't get why they would pour work into this while simultaneously building a C++ front-end for PyTorch[1]. Per the blog post, both frameworks have the goal of empowering ML researchers to iterate on ML mod

Since the HN username matches the twitter name, I'll bite: Is it the case that a raw function pointer is always trivially copyable? I'm not super familiar with C++'s memory model, especially since they have deprecated the not

Based on your background and some word of mouth, I'd recommend I'd recommend the Insight Data Science Fellowship. It's important to filter out bootcamps targeting no background whatsoever, so at the very least this should be

As someone who is a little clueless about network infrastructure: if I own "dwrodri.com", and I'm not running a bunch of other services which need to point to this domain, is there any reason why I wouldn't have my root

On a semi-serious note: would GIMP accept a merge request that depends on something like LibTorch[1] or the huge binary blobs like the ones produced by TFLite? I say this as a enthusiastic hobbyist in the ML space who is always looking for
