"Not going broke" is a bit different from announcing an "open" venture, then, once it's successful, doing everything possible to make it closed and stifle competition (through regulatory capture).

High precision would matter near the input and output layers, but further into the model you could always substitute more parameters for precision.

I'd think they'd have support through Mesa's amdgpu backend.

Is the headset usable without any kind of account? A quick search suggested you'd still need a Meta account of some kind (allegedly separate from a Facebook account).

This has happened to my wife, an ICU nurse, a number of times. The best was when an HIV-positive patient spit in her eye, requiring her to get checked out later on. (This could also have endangered our then 1-year-old daughter, if my wife

I found this video helpful for understanding transformers in general, but it covers attention too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWLed8o5M2Y The short version (as I understand it) is that you use a neural network to weigh

Glad to see you're still working on something interesting. I saw the game console you developed many years ago. That paper demystified HDLs and the hardware side of the Z80 for me.

Andrej Karpathy has a series on YouTube where he builds everything up from scratch. He implements a transformer when he builds a GPT-style model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCc8FmEb1nY

I set up Gogs for the company I work for, and I'd recommend against using it in production. The initial setup was easy, but it's slow, buggy, and difficult to manage.

APL wasn't originally a programming language at all. Ken Iverson designed it as a mathematical notation to express and reason about computer algorithms. "Notation as a tool of thought," is how he thought about it. It was i

MS Agent would be a perfect fit for that. It's basically Clippy as a Windows API. It even includes speech synthesis. IIRC it ships with Windows 2000, but works on Windows 95 too.

"...as cheap as..." doesn't really fit with an item that costs almost the 2020 median salary in the US.

Arguably, a model created by training on a corpus of data is a derived work of that corpus. Let's say I take a collection of images and use a program to compress them. When decompressed, the images are close to, but not exactly the sa

llama.cpp has CLBlast support now, though I haven't used it yet.

Where did you manage to find one (presumably the AOM-SXMV)? They don't seem easy to come by.

I wrote part of a Markdown editor in Rust, with the intention of bringing it to Windows 95. I have a lot of newer work I need to bring in, but the old version can be found here: https://github.com/julian-goldsmith/rust

The problem is that Google still pays Mozilla's bills. If their biggest donor suddenly pulls out completely, they'll be in trouble.

By their nature, adblockers need to be undetectable by websites. If you're just looking for statistics, why not go for a survey? It'd be more reliable than trying to detect something designed to avoid detection.

Chrome has no effective competition in the browser market, so Google has no need to worry about market share. Firefox's user base has shrunk to the point where it's barely relevant. (And I say this as a user myself.) Beyond that

rllama has an OpenCL version, though I wasn't able to test it.

Array programming languages are about more than just broadcasting. What you said is kind of like saying C is a functional language because you can pass function pointers around. Also, Matlab's treatment of arrays is derived directly f

Does anyone know whether OpenAddresses is actually usable for an API? A few years back, I built something to do reverse geocoding based on Google Maps's prices. I never actually released it because I wasn't confident the coverage

What about Mesa for OpenCL? Its support for AMD cards is pretty good in my (limited) experience. The codegen stuff is all shared (formerly Gallium, now llvmpipe?), so Mesa's implementation of OCL should be great.

This reminds me of a video about how information is encoded in the brain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHj9uVmwA_0 Apparently, scientists a few years ago figured out how a mouse's brain encodes direction. They were
