I have no problem with using agents for chess engine dev but I find this offer from the author unsatisfactory. > if there is a particular optimization of yours that we've used unfa…

The Anthropic employee typed “Make the next version of Claude. It must score better on all our benchmarks. Make no mistakes. Don’t exceed the training budget.” She made sure to tur…

The post makes it seem like ONNX is CPU only. I've used ONNX runtime to run models on Nvidia GPUs. The runtime can even dispatch to TensorRT. I'm not sure what the performance is o…

This is every cool research. Do you have any idea why the authors chose Z80 as the program language? I have seen other studies in the same spirit that use simpler toy languages lik…

It's funny that the machine intelligences that arose out of the bitter lesson cracked this benchmark by meticulously modeling each individual case with rule based approaches. When …

Claude code has some basic security features like asking for user confirmation for bash commands, or restricting commands to the current directory. If these features are not being …

The article mentions Triton for this purpose. I don’t think you will get maxed out performance on the hardware though because abstraction layers won’t let you access the fastest po…

Don’t get hung up on the Claude part. We already know an algorithm that produces AGI: evolution. We don’t have the compute to run this algorithm because it requires simulating the …

But this ruling will surely set precedent for other cases where AI is used. It may cover the case of AI summaries as well.

If you sell and then rebuy isn’t that considered a wash trade and therefore exempt from taxes?

Can you explain what asymmetric means? Are you saying that this forced rebalancing will be large enough to cause a large price drop on other stocks? Let’s just think about any stoc…

QQQ is problematic because it’s influenced by strange back room dealings with Space X, if the article is to be believed. VTI is different. It literally tracks all public stocks, we…

I’m trying to understand the mechanics here. I get that SpaceX and Nasdaq are in cahoots to get SpaceX bundled with a bunch of other stocks (and that bundle is called QQQ?) But why…

Like what you mean when you say “frames per second” in a video game. The image that is finally presented to the user, and then quickly thrown away and rebuilt, again and again to g…

I also seem to be developing an immune response to several slopisms. But the actual content is useful for outlining tradeoffs if you’re needing to make your Python code go faster.

I wish there were more details on this part. > Missing @cython.cdivision(True) inserts a zero-division check before every floating-point divide in the inner loop. Millions of branc…

Yeah if your program has a natural notion of a "frame" (eg most video games), you can do memory management by simply incrementing an integer (bump allocation). At the end of your f…

I'm not sure everyone knew that gaps reflected incorrect reasoning. It would have been natural to assume that all infinite sets were qualitatively the same size, since uncountable …

> Before their papers, mathematicians had assumed that even though the number line might look like a continuous object, if you zoomed in far enough, you’d eventually find gaps. I'l…

Of course a contractor could not decide to unilaterally shut off their missile system, because that would be a contract violation. A contractor may try to negotiate that unilateral…

I felt the same. > This isn’t a sign of incompetence. It’s a sign that you’re actually doing real work. > Your value as an engineer isn’t in executing the same playbook forever. It…

This really reminded me of the first part Flowers for Algernon. The main character undergoes a treatment which improves is intelligence and the story is narrated via a series of di…

I’ve confirmed this on my iphone as well. Using swipe, no space bar after kill: Kill maps Jill myself Jill myself Using swipe, manually pressing space bar after kill: Kill mussels …

On the contrary, I think it demonstrates an inherent limit to the kind of tasks / datasets that human beings care about. It's known that large neural networks can even memorize ran…

Each fine tune drags the model weights away from the base model in a certain direction. Given 500 fine tune datasets, we could expect the 500 drag directions to span a 500 dimensio…
