An aside: the text-only version of the NPR website is wonderfully clear and legible. Here is the original article in the text version: https://text.npr.org/2020/12/15/944184405/1st…

For something searchable, see “Baumol’s cost disease.”

Nitpick, but undergraduate enrollment is over 31,000 (as of fall '19 [1]). [1] https://opa.berkeley.edu/campus-data/uc-berkeley-quick-facts

On the contrary, "dark silicon" instead suggests that separating fp32 and int32 (now in GA102/104, fp32 and int32/fp32) data paths at the cost of more die space usage currently mak…

Would be glorious if at some point they also released sources for the voxel RTS's (Tiberian Sun, RA2).

Fun fact: Alex Krizhevsky's cuda-convnet was also an early adopter of CHWN tensor layout. Basically, having the batch size N as the major dimension limits you to running batch size…

rustc does have a working nvptx target today, though it’s not supported nearly as well as the mainstream cpu targets, and some things you would really want for gpu programming (e.g…

In fact, one of the motivating applications of PageRank was to bridge academic citation analysis to the web: http://ilpubs.stanford.edu:8090/422/1/1999-66.pdf

Her short story collections are quite accessible. If you want to dive into the Hainish cycle, _Four Ways to Forgiveness. Or for a mostly Hainish but more diverse set of stories, _T…

I first learned about calculus from, I think, this book, "Calculus the Easy Way" [1] (or, at least the first chapter or two). It does make use of some algebra, but you're not neces…

$2250/month was c. 2015-2016 for EECS GSRs (during the semester)

NB: article was written December 2014. 1970 is now 50 years ago.

> Prof. Matsuzawa, through his cognitive research of chimpanzee Ai I had to do a double take there.

> Due to the complexity involved, Cerebras is not only designing the chip, but they also must design the full system. ... The WSE will come in 15U units with a chassis for the WSE …

Cool to see this on HN. I briefly worked there on a closely related project during high school after this paper was published. It was my first real experience doing wet lab work-- …

To expand a bit, as I understand it, Remora gives a type system (and type inference) to APL- and J-style reranking, which is called rank polymorphism in Remora. The key thing is th…

Spoiler, ish: The last time I measured ImageNet JPEGs with EXIF orientation metadata, the number of affected images was actually quite small (< 100, out of a dataset of 1.28M). The…

Bonus round: (1) Find the ImageNet (ILSVRC2012) images possessing EXIF orientation metadata. (2) Of those images, find which ones have the "correct" EXIF orientation.

Not the most explanatory sources but function spaces essentially are vector spaces: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_space#Function_spaces http://mathworld.wolfram.com/HilbertS…

Have you looked into SageMath? (Technically it's "Python-based" rather than "just" Python.) I'm also curious if you're specifically looking for something in Python, or if doing sym…

Pratt parsing is great. Quoting from the original paper itself: > One may wonder why such an "obviously" utopian approach has not been generally adopted already. I suspect the root…

If you have an assembler or C compiler you can implement matrix multiplication (GEMM) which usually does most of the heavy lifting in your neural net. Now you correctly alluded tha…

I'm curious if you have a particular language/microcontroller/microwave/badger you have in mind? Depending on which, YMMV.
