Is it really the full pipeline running on Huawei hardware? That is training and inference? The report only talks about validating the "fine-grained EP scheme" on Huawei hardware.

I don't think memory mirring features available today allow you to race two DRAM accesses and use the result that returns earlier?

If there's anywhere I don't want LLM slop it's probably my database system.

Ah I can't read, thanks :-)

Shouldn't your snippet be using lzcnt? I can't see how this would result in the desired lookup. for Zen5 rustc creates the following: utf8_sequence_length_lookup: shl edi, 24 mov e…

Do they help deter people from becoming smokers in the first place?

I doubt that this is a problem in need of a technical solution. In any case, this system can easily be circumvented by emulating the key presses on that website.

Looking at a few files, there's definitely some generated comments in there. Do you have any method to quantify how much of it is (likely) generated?

> Shouldn't be too hard to do even with pen and paper since the 2-adic eval of 52! is large. Could you elaborate?

Their talk was quite nice, they talk about experiences with other HSMs, their history, what lead them to design their own, the many aspects of their design and then go through pote…
