While you can use uniform registers to implement the uniform keyword from shading languages, the two are not the same. Uniform registers are not constants, and they are only unifor…

What makes a judge a "real" judge is that a sufficient number of people capable of enforcing judgments share the view that the judge is a real judge.

Visual programming languages are not prevented from using textual symbols, though. And many people use diagrams to communicate ideas more efficiently than they could with text alon…

> Any language can be expressed in S-expressions. I'm not sure this is true for the C preprocessor, though, where macros can represent partial structure.

This is a really interesting system, and I'm excited to give this a try! Without knowing whether the following cases would actually be useful/relevant, I'm curious if these things …

> It's not a matter of identity, but explanatory power. To reiterate, the self-acknowledgement/'diagnosis' as autistic (not ASD) is 'useful from a self-compassion and tolerance sta…

Which could be a coordination problem, though. Where initial high costs are due to a lack of scale whereas if everyone participated, costs would come down fast.

Putting fans on radiators should also increase the amount of heat that can be transferred, right?

>The whole point of interfaces is that you're not supposed to care how a method is implemented, only what it does which is explained by a combination of context, naming and documen…

One way to get deterministic output is to use integer/fixed point math. Quantised models already do that for matrix multiplication, but things like softmax may still be implemented…

This. Being able to expand macros lets you learn what it does in context, and once you're more familiar with the abstraction it gives you the benefit of hiding the details and high…

This makes sense but to be honest, how I'd really like to represent data to go along with code is as a table or a tree (i.e. presentation/interaction more like a spreadsheet).

> "More people with cards tend to be white and therefore the cards are racist" is such a weak take - there are more white people than minorities, for one. But this is quite differe…

Certainly, getting those elements in larger quantities will be important, but by the time we have the cargo capacity to build colonies on the moon it seems likely that someone woul…

You could call the way the curriculum is organised "spaced repetition", but this isn't personalised and thus missing the feedback part of spaced repetition. Generally, children are…

There is no reason public transport should aim to be financed entirely by fares, or to make a profit from fares. It benefits people who rarely or never use it.

A "generic raw text editor" is a tool. The vast majority of text editors people use are actually quite complex, way beyond the complexity that would be needed to implement a "gener…

> They almost convinced me somewhere in my career. But the hard truth I learnt is that most people are saying this because they aren’t capable of verbalizing what they are programm…

A text editor is a tool. Text files are only "human readable"/"human editable" in the sense that such tools are ubiquitous whereas structured data editors are not. Which is a real …

What you might do is train using dense matrices, then sparsify those (pick the 2 out of each set of 4 weights that are closest to zero, mask them out), then do a few more training …

Note that AMX can achieve roughly double the FLOPS with FP16, and 8 TFLOPS for the GPU is only about 77% of peak. You can do better than that, especially using FP16 90+% is possibl…

That's a pretty huge amount of processing power hidden away! Are these experimentally confirmed performance numbers? So this is 16x16 single precision fused multiply-adds at 3.2GHz…

> the terminal provides a very fast feedback loop where I can iteratively examine the output of a command and refine the filters I apply. As a result, I am able to prototype comman…

Though its impact may be limited, this is some nice work! Now could someone look at how video codecs can produce excellent high-detail scenes and motion in 4k resolution while at t…

Moreover, an ANN parameter is not equivalent to a human neuron.
