Bernstein’s obscure factorization algorithm is described as “folklore” by the authors of the CADO-NFS RSA breaking library. It was finally coded in 2020 and this provided the necessary 25% speedup needed to factorize the 795-bit RSA 240 We’

I must admit, I stopped keeping up with the new AI terms after J-space. Absolute peace of mind.

Selling 105,800$ worth of compute for 39*200=7800$ is similar to theft I've only encountered in the third world. My boiler's copper water supply lines were vandalized for scrap. Their total value was 1540$ but the thief sold the c

The article's subheadings suggest this is AI slop. Seeing a section titles "The Production Symptom" is a Claudism in itself.

I’ve spent the past 9 months reverse engineering CADO-NFS. I finally got the lattice sieve working correctly!

Julia uses 1-based indexing. It's competes with R and Matlab for the same set of users. Both R and Julia have their core functions written in C++. Absolutely nothing new. From my experience, grad students use Julia when their PI thinks

Perhaps they're targeting a super specific niche. Like somebody who sees WXET Ephemereal and yelps in triumph "that's my quant!".

It's the crypto aspect that's silly. Tech is cool IMO. However, the crypto adjacency makes it all look scammy tbh.

I guess IPFS is an artifact from the crypto craze. It's pretty silly if you think of it. However, I must admit, I got my first ever developer grant from Filecoin while they were flush with ZIRP era money. btw,I thought it was an Initia

Incredible counterexample, but oddly relatable. I'd probably have achieved techbro 'post-economic' status earlier if I focused on Android dev instead of the shiny (and new at that time) Xamarin for Windows phones.

It's all so bizarre. They don't want to pay but expect in-depth articles. It's akin somewhat to the open-source crowd demanding features (and security updates) all without donating to the project.

SOTA quantization aware training (QAT) techniques summary. 1. Bitnet weights are one of three digits (-1, 0, 1). This is the OG 1.58 bit network. 2. Sherry quantization constrains every 3 out of 4 Bitnet weights to non zero for SIMD optimiz

Taken verbatim "But the hardest lesson wasn't about database design. It was discovering that the real bottleneck wasn’t what we were observing and measuring. "

The Hungarian Assignment algorithm is used by MBAs and Operations Managers to optimally assign tasks to their employees. It’s rooted in Optimal Transport theory and resembles Sinkhorn iterations in Python. Pretty cool IMO!

Super silly of me to ask but how does Bending Spoons make money in all of this? Is it the "fire all American devs and save costs with cheaper Italians" schtick or is there something else? I don't see how Airtable makes money

exe dev is a VC-funded company reselling open source software. Everyone's making cash from your open source code except you.

Honestly, I shut down my webiste and Medium, then moved to Substack because they solved the "get paid for my writing" problem. In 2022, Medium was defacto blogging platform and getting into their paid program was close to impossib

The article's awkward opening statement proves it wasn't written by AI. I have been interested in machine-assisted ways to do and teach mathematics from as far back as 1999, when I started coding several applets in Java 1.0, both

For the curious, eigenvalues only exist for square matrices. Singular values are like generalized eigenvalues. Singular values are like the fundamental frequencies of your matrix. You know how you can define any color with RGB? In a (pretty

Compiling my C code with gcc happens in a single eye blink. Changing the format to .cpp and compiling with g++ takes 5 eye blinks. I've never used rust and I can't imagine blinking more than 6 times while waiting for my code to c

Is this how they view us? Like yeah. I'm going to spend all night arguing with the Haskell lovers (that's a slur in my books) on Reddit, but it's not my hobby. Rather, responsibility demands I direct these functional programm

I was looking at matmul algorithms and their hardware implementations (to start a hardware startup) and I saw that the naive O(n^3) version is what everyone uses. https://leetarxiv.substack.com/p/why-compilers-rarely-us
