Three.js works just fine with functions like `.add`, it sure is ugly though. It kind of blows the mind that javascript has had so many syntactic additions over the years but still has no operator overloading.

Another thing that TS does nicely is object handling in general: dot access for objects attributes, object destructuring, typed objects for function options. In most ML projects I see a bunch of functions that look like: def my_fn(x,

I feel like you are being unfairly dismissive. Just imagine the stress of being targeted by the police because you match some criminals statistically.

Since you seem knowledgable on this topic, what is it that TPUs do differently than GPUs? Why are they better at inference?

We've all been there :D

That's a good point. The more I think about it the more what I said was a way of rationalizing not agreeing with the parent comment. Even if there were no ressource constrains it still doesn't feel selfish to me not to have childr

I have to ask: when posting a question like this, what kind of response are you hoping to get?

by saiojd 3y ago
Not really selfish at all when you consider that the Earth's population cannot grow infinitely. Some people have kids, others don't, not a big deal.

Would you mind defining 'glut' in the context of your post? What you're saying seems very interesting but I can't quite wrap my head around it.

Thanks for sharing, that's interesting angle that I did not consider. So essentially the argument goes that more "surface area" == more vulnerabilities? While that makes perfect sense, don't you feel like the pressure fo

Why does it bother you that browsers have many features? At this point browsers are essentially a cross-platform VM and it really seems like this trend will only accentuate in the future.

I feel very sad reading this. You are absolutely correct that I view HN as watercooler where I make hyperbolic statements, but incorrect when you say that that I did not take you seriously. I was frustrated because I felt like you were latc

Your tone comes off as very adversarial/angry. Intentional or not? The claim is about the likelihood of more efficient approaches existing, not about the subjective qualifier preceding it (misunderstanding?). Yes, NNs have existed for

Interesting, I had not considered these points outside of file size! Do you think it is possible they will be overcome or is the chance 0?

I wouldn't be so confident. Flash attention is a recent, significant improvement to training times and sure looks low-hanging now. I was not familiar with Edge AI, interesting concept. I feel like improving the efficiency of very large

Interesting observation. Why do you think it's like this?

I would not be so sure about compute capacity? Neural network architectures are still in their infancy, it is very likely that more efficient approaches exist.

I really wish compiling cuda extensions worked better out of the box. Is there a reason they can't bundle nvcc alongside pytorch outside of complexity/expense?

I don't understand what you meant by "nobody knows what color a combination of HSV values" (but you quote HEX strings)? What makes the quoted code hard to maintain?

Very cool, I'd love to see a result dump of random samples

At this point yes. But the goal of "automatic programming" against a formal specification has a long history. It does not seem impossible to me that, in the future, programming becomes closer to prompting + formal specification. T

I'm not sure I agree with the assertion "you can be confident that a compiler will express your program in the way you want". This is only if you program perfectly, which is never the case in practice (after all, bugs exist).

What frustrated me with your post was not the argument itself but the sentence "it's fascinating to see the support that this grift has gotten" which feels like flamebait (sorry, I can see how that was not clear).

Hahaha gotta love your terrible acronyms :)

I'm calling you out: you're being edgy for the sake of being edgy by saying it's grift.

It's ugly but you can fix this with `dataclass_transform`

I agree that in the general case it does not work, but if we were to introduce an alternate dataclass/class definition syntax, I feel like something lightweight like this would be nice. (Local functions could just be prefixed with unde

by saiojd 4y ago
Probably a controversial opinion, but I would like `self` removed, and have the class body be an init function. Something like: ``` dataclass NormalizedPoint(x: float, y: float): _norm = math.sqrt(x\*2 + y\*2) x /= _norm

I personally just use `dataclass(kw_only=True)`, which should really be the default in most cases anyways.
