> Modular found ways to parralize LLVM code generation by introducing novel techniques What techniques?

There is already Invoke-WebRequest. Powershell 5 infamously shipped with "curl" as an alias for it. So be careful what you wish for.

I interpreted that to mean "other people should be working because it will enable me personally to buy more stuff (that they produce)", not "each person should be working because w…

This was added in 3.14. The zipfile module was updated too, which probably makes Python the easiest way to work with ZIP files with zstd compression.

You can't use BigDecimal either. There are libraries whose whole purpose is just to exactly reproduce COBOL arithmetic, eg. the IBM Decimal Arithmetic Library.

"Porcupine" confused with "concubine".

"You could have invented..." a just a genre of expository writing which builds a path from something you know to something you want to learn. The sequence of development is not nec…

The big labs don't generally have the resources to remove stuff and re-run training again either. That's reserved for new models. Existing models are modified by operating on the w…

PrismML released a ternary model recently. However AFAICT they don't use this packing, instead packing trits as 2 bits each (as least for the GGUF). Hy-MT2 also came out with a 1.2…

I actually don't think LLMs are "really" intelligent either, but we do seem to be pawing our way towards something. Everyone is talking about safety and risk and alignment. But I n…

People swear up and down these things are real intelligences and not stochastic parrots until the ethical questions come out and then they're just fancy washing machines.

What's the advantage of the separate streams? That presumably prevents a streaming encoder/decoder.

It appears they are using Q2_0 in llama.cpp, which is 2 bits per weight + 1 float16 scale per group of 64 weights. This is inefficient in two ways: one bit pattern is wasted on eac…

I find it kind of interesting the whole output wasn't released. A common criticism of mathematical writing is results are "pulled out of a hat"; you only write up a polished, final…

In data structure terms, attributes do allow nodes to be decorated with additional information without forcing any change on existing parsers. In JSON, this would require swapping,…

I think those are CLI options, not negative signs. Ie. you call zstd -3 for compression level 3.

"Oh gee, we'd definitely contribute to the open source driver if the repo name didn't have wacom in it." Yeah, uh huh.

It's typical to only append fields when you do this.

> I'm not going to name those countries outright Why?

That isn't because of a general opposition to all uses of Latin.

The regulation targets most portable electronics, not just phones.

I understand why coroutines are an issue for saving, but why are they an issue for pausing? Don't you just not resume the coroutines while paused?
