East Germans also wouldn't criticize the Statsi as a show of loyalty, and nobody would read about a security failure in the state news. So the story must be told by one of its characters. :-)

Re-arrange x+(y+(z+w)) into (x+y)+(z+w) to accomplish a distributed sum. Shared bus, interconnect fabric. This is a supercomputer on a chip.

Attention calculations aren't shared across more than one vector during next token prediction (thinking and writing) which this sounds almost perfect for. Per attention layer, for deepseek at 1M context, you want to broadcast a single

Let's subject that claim to some basic arithmetic. A university would expect maybe eight undergraduate level courses, four credit hours per course, and you are expected to do three hours of study per hour of credit per week. That'

> In practice I don't think any harness (happy to be corrected here!) uses the lesser capability models for writing code. The cost trade-offs are rarely worth it. That's not something I understand very well. The less expensive

With one exception: app stores should be forbidden from verifying the age of legal adults.

That's a great analogy - everybody knows you forget pretty much everything after a few years away from the line. It should be seen like one of those studies that proves smiling is correlated with happiness. :-)
