Guessing as to what the GP meant--coral TPUs max out around 8M parameters, IIRC. That's a few orders of magnitude less than the smallest LLM model.

Context upfront: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13771203 I'd really like to have a decent (let's say >13") display to hang on a wall in my room and display weather, my todo l…

Well this strikes close to home. During grad school, I'd drink a red bull (or two) a day. Now, I've quit caffeine completely (save a tiny cup of coffee in the morning occasionally)…

Playing them against each other would be a pretty cool way for the two companies' AI teams to compete though.

Facebook is heavily invested in Torch, a learning framework built in Lua.

A Neural Turing Machine can learn programs.

I'm not sure I agree with you, long term (about the chips). I think that the value here is in the ecosystem. If Google can compete with CUDA, they'll be doing really well.

Yup, I assume they're gonna keep them in house as a competitive advantage for a time. I doubt they'll do it forever; the most valuable part of NVIDIA's CUDA is the ecosystem, and I…

This is huge. If they really do offer such a perf/watt advantage, they're serious trouble for NVIDIA. Google is one of only a handful of companies with the upfront cash to make a m…

For 3., I've been interested in the same. How would it work though? Would it include non-free components, or be open source? If it's open source, why would the majority of people p…

+1 from me. My favorite feature for browsing Reddit is the RES collapsing button. If HN declines to add it, maybe someone can make an `HNES'?

Almost all of the open source software in the area is permissive-licensed, and relies on non-free components (CUDA). To be honest, I'm not sure how Gneural plans to compete with th…

Can't speak for OCaml yet; I've wanted to learn for a while but decided to go with Haskell first. On the Haskell side of things--it's biggest seller (functional purity) is also the…

Thanks, I didn't catch that. I'll have to make some time to play with this, especially once it gets further along.

This seems more like MirageOS/Ling than a rumpkernel. From what I remember, rumpkernels are more general, at the cost of being less "unikernel-y" (i.e. lean and fast). I agree that…

Noticed the same thing, wondered if I was missing some niche side effect here. TBH, I've noticed there's almost never a reason for a general reduce() in Python (to my usual dismay,…

I'm five years out from this and still remember the stress. Students are now asked to give up their present for a chance at a good future.

Exciting to see this! I haven't taken a look at TensorFlow code yet but it looks very similar (method names and all) to Caffe. I've wanted a CNN library for Rust for a while. It so…

Good to see this project making progress, but I don't see a changelog. What's new?

140 characters may not contain the full breadth of his view on the topic. Tweets are easy to compose but myopic. All the same, I understand your point. There's definitely stuff we …

Change is sorely needed, I agree. And I don't think that the Common Markdown team should be forced to be backwards-compatible (I would prefer they didn't). However, Gruber's reques…

It was certainly their decision to do a clean fork or not, and I'm not judging them for wanting to take ownership of a neglected project. I was just commenting on the fact that Atw…

I think those are two different issues. Gruber has a legal and moral right to ask the Common Markdown maintainers to change names. The easiest thing is just to not have a name with…
