I though LWE and SVP were NP-hard. Doesn't breaking them mean NP is in BQP, and thus classical computer encryption is entirely broken with quantum computers ? How would we recover …

Soldering dump a ton of heat into the cell, which has chances of destroying the cell. That's why most of the cells are spot-welded: its similar to soldering, but its much quicker a…

ARM have been moving away from chips with small area for a long time (see server SoC which are huge beasts), and are trying to become the standard platform for everyone trying to h…

More than the ISA, its the memory interconnect that require standardization. At SoC level, ARM is already a de-facto standard (ACE-Lite, CHI, ...), but its only a standard for comm…

In addition to the other comments, the iso C23 standard added the header to the standard library with a stdc_count_ones() function, so compiler support will become standard.

The article goes into great detail and gives several example of several CEOs borrowing for actual decades, so it passes the sniff test because it does actually happen.

Mathematicians already explored exactly what you describe: this is the difference between classical logic and intuitionistic logic: In classical logic statements can be true in and…

The goal of this type of quantization is to move the multiplication by the fp32 rescale factor outside of the dot-product accumulation. So the multiplications+additions are done on…

Its worse than that: the energy gains are when comparing computations made with fp32, but for fp8 the multipliers are really tiny and the adder/shifters represent a largest part of…

Not at all. Sublime is perfectly fine with it. I suspect that from the usage in the code, it knows that there is a module foo and a submodule subfoo with a function bar() in it, an…

To help with circular import, we switched a few years ago to lazily importing submodules on demand, and never switched back. Just add to your __init__.py files: import importlib de…

dict are ordered to keep argument order when using named arguments in function calling. So it would be a non-trivial breaking change to revert this now. I would argue that OrderedD…

From what I know, Meta AI chips are used in production today, but are made for their recommendations tasks which is a very different IA than GPTs and LLMs for which they still rely…

No amount of LLM will solve this: you can just change the prompt of the first LLM so that it generate a prompt ingestion as part of its output, which will trick the second LLM. Som…

There has been some work to dynamically reduce the compute required by a network. See for example: https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.02258 They have a fixed compute budget which is lower …

I'm really interested, do you have a source for those percentages ? I tried to look for some service provider to publish this kind of metrics, but haven't found any.

It doesn't really makes sense for kahan summation, as the compiler would just make it similar to a naive summation because the errors terms would be zero under the assumptions of f…

It likely comes from the saying similar to this one: "kill a few, you are a murderer. Kill millions, you are a conqueror". More generally, we tend to view number of causalities in …

No its the opposite: overfitting is the result of either having too many weights compared to the size of your dataset, or training for a long time while reusing/transforming parts …

I think it's still the same "uncanny valley" phenomenon: because the body looks more like a human, we are more creeped when we discover how it moves its joints because we were expe…
