    https://x.com/jacobaustin132/status/1886844716446007300 is the announcement of this book.

    The uncertainty alone is already stopping people from making job offers this year in physics. Will the department of Energy keep funding fundamental physics research, for example? …

    > Such capability can’t even be contemplated on the TPU side because you basically get a black box. I'll just leave this here: https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pallas/index.htm…

    Baratza also sell replacement parts for their grinders on their web site, and provide clear instructions on how to install them. I am delighted to support a manufacturer that build…

    But the interpretation of the journalist is the issue here. Comparing a cost optimized part (TPU v5e) against a performance optimized part (H100) and deciding that this makes Googl…

    No, it is not. That's the sparse fp8 flop number, but you need to ignore sparsity and compare bf16 flops not fp8 flops for the comparison the ancestor post is making.

    Yes, we made this more formally supported recently. We felt that Windows CPU support was important so everyone can run JAX, even if it's not always the most-accelerated version of …

    We ship Windows CPU only at the moment. We don't support Windows GPU because we haven't had the engineer bandwidth to support it well. We recommend WSL2 for GPU on Windows at the m…

    Not true! We release Windows CPU wheels ( https://pypi.org/project/jaxlib/#files ). So JAX on CPU works great on Windows. We don't release Windows GPU wheels at the moment, but tha…

    If pypi didn't enforce size limits, I'd agree with you. We routinely have to delete older versions of our package to make space for newer versions.

    I enjoyed playing Stellaris on my MacBook M1 pro on a transcontinental flight last night. 4x games work well for passing the time!

    I wish Mac OS and Apple hardware supported 8k monitors. I have this monitor and love it, but I can't use it with a Macbook at higher than 4k.

    Yes, the difference between 4k and 8k text is easily noticeable for a 32" monitor, and I'm not particularly eagle-eyed. Text is sharper and finer details are better rendered. For v…

    I love using a 32" 8k monitor for working with text/code. To me, as a software engineer who stares at code all day, higher quality text rendering is sufficient justification for 8k…

    We (JAX) see JAX and Numba as mostly complementary; they have different strengths and they are focused on different things. We haven't tried combining them yet, but we think it wou…

    Good catch, I missed Trax! Trax is a configuration-driven neural network framework focused on sequence model research, as a successor to Tensor2Tensor. Comparisons are hard in gene…

    Hello from the JAX team! We'd like to take this opportunity to give a shout out to some of the awesome projects folks are building on top of JAX, e.g., * Flax, a neural network lib…

    Autodiff is certainly one of the strengths of JAX. See the JAX Autodiff cookbook for a flavor of what JAX can do: https://colab.research.google.com/github/google/jax/blob/mas... Yo…

    Since you mention it: Cloud TPUv3 is now available in beta (brand new!) See: https://cloud.google.com/tpu/ (420 TFlop/s, 128GB HBM)

    If you look, the same listing has 5 fulfilled-by-amazon shippers as well :-)

    The listing says, and I quote: "Apple A1385 USB Cube Adapter ..." (in the title) and "Includes 1 Apple certified charger cube". I'd bet that neither is true.

    It's trivially easy to run into counterfeit products on Amazon. Here's an example I pulled up in 2 minutes of searching: https://www.amazon.com/Apple-A1385-Adapter-Charger-iPhone/d…
