djsjajah··on Why CUDA translation wont unlock AMD
I can't tell if you are making a joke or not.

They are not even remotely equivalent. tinygrad is a toy.

If you are serious, I would be interested to hear how you see tinygrad replacing CUDA. I could see a tiny grad zealot arguing that it is gong to replace torch, but CUDA??

Have you looked into AMD support in torch? I would wager that like for like, a torch/amd implementation of a models is going to run rings around a tinygrad/amd implementation.

djsjajah··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
I went to check how many services are being impacted on down detector, but it was down.
djsjajah··on Can I stop drone delivery companies flying over my property?
If we didn't have people like that, then they would be right.
djsjajah··on Ask HN: What is the simplest data orchestration tool you've worked with?
I few people have mentioned dagster and I took a look at that for some machine learning things I was playing with but I found dvc (data version control [1]) and I think it is fantastic. I think it also has more applications than just machine learning but really anything with data. If you have a bunch of shell scripts that write to files to pass data around, then dvc might be a good fit. it will do things like only rerun steps if it needs to. Also for totally non-data stuff, Prefect is great.

djsjajah··on Age Verification Laws: A Backdoor to Surveillance
No. Kids would need to memorize the private key of their parents id card.
djsjajah··on Tailscale is pretty useful
You could have also self-hosted the GitHub Actions runner which might have been easier as long as you had something to run the runner on.
djsjajah··on Garmin's –$40B Pivot
I think everyone should be reminded that a few years ago Garmin let someone take down their whole network (globally) and then paid the ransom after a few days [1]. In my opinion, the company does not deserve your money.

djsjajah··on Microprogramming: A New Way to Program
Has the author not used linux? I think there is already a garden of programs in /usr/bin
djsjajah··on Donald Sutherland has died
Is the whole internet gaslighting me? Hawkeye was played by Alan Alda and I’m kinda offended that anyone would attribute the role to anyone else but I’ve read a bunch of comments on different websites that make it seem like people remember him as Hawkeye.
djsjajah··on GPT-4o's Memory Breakthrough – Needle in a Needlestack
A better test would be to see if it can still answer the question if you just exclude the limerick for that answer. Having a bunch of limericks in the context window will make it "think" about all of the limericks it "knows".
djsjajah··on Stephen Fry reads Nick Cave's stirring letter about ChatGPT and human creativity [video]
I can’t disagree with his point about song writing but I think ChatGPT is not going to alter the struggle that we face on a day to day basis. It is just going to amplify our accomplishments. The art that a single artist makes tomorrow might be the product of many lifetimes of human work yesterday.
