BLAS is just the library definition and not the implementation, so BLAS implementations could implement GEMM anyway they want. But in practice the triple loop method (n^3) is the most common, despite Strassen's and the more numerically

This is exactly why i like this game. Upon first playing it, the attacks were obvious to beat anyone who was playing legitimately. Assuming both teams know this fact, means the choice is, play the game to win and it is boring or play the ga

Was the article written by an llm difference engine? In that it failed at discussing the differences of the two and really just regurgitated the etymologies and ancient definitions of the two terms with no insight about modern usages. My q

it seems the primary benefit for sand over water, is a 1:10 operating temp vs. 5:1 specific heat. So it depends on whether the added complexity of working with a hotter, solid is worth not having to build a facility that is 2x bigger. Are t

periodic table of finite simple groups is pretty awesome https://www.reddit.com/r/math/comments/99brzy/the_periodic_t... they're groups so symmetries are kinda what they do. There are families etc.

transforming the recurrence to a matrix then applying the matrix as a transformation of itself can be expressed as multiplication. but A A A A A A doesnt really save you much to get the 6th fibonnaci number. the power is in powers of the ma

I wish there were more explanation for why this work. There is a proof but a more opinionated description would also help. My summary of it is that parallel prefix sum is work efficient for computing general recurrences of the form xi = x_i

> Right. However, this is a comparison versus Python and the GIL, which can’t do that at all. Single process python does not take advantage of a multicore architecture but neither would single process mojo. Embarrassingly parallel operat

by leecarraher 3y ago
that is good to hear. I read a post on Mojo months ago, signed up to the waitlist and then crickets. It would seem insane to think a non-open source, non-free compiler/interpreter could be successful these days.

35Kx speedup is not scaled speedup. Throw this, naively parallelizable task at a bigger computer and get 70kx speedup, etc. While i think there are tons of optimizations to be done for python (looking at you GIL) giving access to low level

The author says to add a unity vector to the context, i presume of each layer, to not mess with gradient calculations. But most modern DL frameworks compute the gradient for you, (i know this is true for JAX and Pytorch). Is it maybe that h

I like the analogy at the end regarding nuclear power vs piping in water from freshwater sources. The upfront costs are high, but over time it would be cheaper than desalination, but due to short term governments and borders, it's hard

Agreed, great article and figures. I'm guessing from the comments no one actually read through it.

The title was originally 100% but the editor felt that to be too unbelievable and ratcheted it back to just greater than 99% , that way it covers 100, but looks fancier, there's a math equation in the title, it's gotta be legit!
