This is just "one" experience, certainly not the norm. Even as an experienced engineer of 15 yrs I'd to solve leetcode (LC) style problems on the whiteboard a few yrs go. For better or worse (depending on whose perspective yo

Is this for educational purposes only? Based on the success of llama.cpp and this one it appears that the industry is going in a direction of separate source code for every model that is released instead of general purpose frameworks like p

How does one keep going so long with the same passion, energy and excitement? Is it because of working in academia? Corporate life with its politics has exhausted me and sucked all the passion out of work. My cognitive abilities are declini

It’s a bit unfortunate how the article says “Meta eliminated many manager roles, moved down many existing managers to individual contributor roles” as if moving from management to IC is a demotion. This attitude is killing our industry.

I'm really happy this is happening. Meta had strict rules for hiring sr. managers (M2) wherein you'd to have a minimum of 30 reports in your previous job to even get called for an interview. Based on feedback from many of my frien

I'm sorry to be cynical here but all this is good only in theory or in a blog article. Real life is much different. Let me articulate. 1. There are many more sr mgr/director+ positions than sr. staff+ 2. Corporate politics is brut

Can someone shed light on how does a CEO with 3 kids get time to hack on something like this? Some might even argue that all the time spent doing this would’ve been better spent on CEO activities, but thankfully this is HN and people have h

Personally for me the biggest hurdle is starting a project, not finishing it.

Someone please edit the title as it's really misleading. This linked project is using onnxruntime as opposed to implementing stable diffusion from scratch in C++. Meaning this is not in the same spirit as llama.cpp.

I feel Meta, Google and OpenAI are the real AI leaders of this industry. Definitely not Microsoft who is riding on integrations with OpenAI APIs. Just saying.
