flamedoge··on Lula wins election after final votes tallied
hardly the worst leaderships. Would you rather have Mao/Stalin/Putin?
flamedoge··on A 10-year-old CNN outperforms frontier LLMs for skin cancer diagnosis
I think the contention is CNN vs Transformer
flamedoge··on Terence Tao: Math 2.0 [pdf]
all that isn't to say discovering and understanding mechanistic causality isn't a useful endeavour; it may be actually a faster, better way but no way to prove it.
flamedoge··on YouTuber Says Cops Visited Him After He Built a Flock-Style Camera to Track Cops
i dont understand why this is now an issue and any public facing camera that does OCR isn't
flamedoge··on Nvidia announces native GPU programming in Rust
pretty crappy list
flamedoge··on U.S. State Department pauses immigrant visa applications
... It's always applicant's choice
flamedoge··on The path to ubiquitous AI (17k tokens/sec)
I have a gut feeling, huge portion of deficiencies we note with AI is just reflection of the training data. For instance, wiki/reddit/etc internet is just a soup of human description of the world model, not the actual world model itself. There are gaps or holes in the knowledge because codified summary of world is what is remarkable to us humans, not a 100% faithful, comprehensive description of the world. What is obvious to us humans with lived real world experience often does not make it into the training data. A simple, demonstrable example is whether one should walk or drive to car wash.
flamedoge··on Furiosa: 3.5x efficiency over H100s
it's so weird how they spend all this money to train new models and then open sources it. it's gold rush but nvidia is getting all the gold.
flamedoge··on LLVM: The bad parts
non-C/C++ centric, performant compiler maybe. Aliasing support in C is pretty limited and a performant langauge like fortran and more modern equivalents may seek more efficient, concise IR for compiler with less comparable overhead from LLVM.
flamedoge··on The C++ standard for the F-35 Fighter Jet [video]
surprised not that strict about types. i remember google doesn't allow unsigned?
flamedoge··on Fp8 runs ~100 tflops faster when the kernel name has "cutlass" in it
Let's be clear here. Intel searched for "GenuineIntel" and ran optimized code on their hardware.
flamedoge··on Writing an operating system kernel from scratch
To you maybe. The subset of population that is even interested, smart, persevering to do this is extremely tiny.
flamedoge··on U.S. government takes 10% stake in Intel
so.. shouldn't US take stake in TSMC instead?
flamedoge··on Ask HN: Any insider takes on Yann LeCun's push against current architectures?
It literally doesn't know how to handle 'I don't know' and needs to be taught. fascinating.
flamedoge··on OpenAI O3-Mini
Soon people will read other people's summary that they copied from AI summary on the web.
flamedoge··on Amazon workers to strike at multiple US warehouses during busy holiday season
Order from local store, order from Amazon, use first one to receive, return new one to whichever was more expensive.
flamedoge··on Meta Movie Gen
who's stopping you from Amish lifestyle? problem seems to be that people want authentic, hand-made 'art' but with price of a mass manufactured tech.
flamedoge··on NASA acknowledges it cannot quantify risk of Starliner propulsion issues
so whats it good for. sending monkeys?
flamedoge··on Noexcept affects libstdc++’s unordered_set
what.. noexcept throws exception..? what kind of infinite wisdom led to this
flamedoge··on CrowdStrike Official RCA is now out [pdf]
regex isn't probably a good thing in a kernel boot code considering it's NP hard
flamedoge··on C++'s `noexcept` can sometimes help or hurt performance
> did not restrict optimization unnecessarily.

well clearly there is a cost

flamedoge··on Zen 5's 2-ahead branch predictor: how a 30 year old idea allows for new tricks
I wonder what they need before this change. Branch predictor hardware may not have accounted for depth beyond single conditional branch? but pipeline was probably always filled, unpredicted.
flamedoge··on Run CUDA, unmodified, on AMD GPUs
probably because their focus is on data centers that mostly run linux
flamedoge··on Beating the Compiler
and well worth the cost
flamedoge··on Intel pauses work on $25B Israel fab
not so baffling when you realize those places aren't blessed with natural resources. people have to use their brainpower for gdp there
flamedoge··on The Google employees who created transformers
Maybe. I can't be the only one who gets irked by the slow, typing-out response from copilot/gpt when google gets me instant results. Near instant or a lot faster result might convince me to use whatever gpt search
flamedoge··on United Airlines tells Boeing to stop building Max 10s and to switch to max 9s
probably easier to ask Elon to start building airplanes
flamedoge··on OpenAI Deal Lets Employees Sell Shares at $86B Valuation
I mean.. is there anything magic about what Nvidia's doing?
flamedoge··on "Fake Chinese income" mortgages fuel Toronto real estate bubble: HSBC bank leaks
HSBC Canada is sold to RBC
flamedoge··on EU chip goal 'unrealistic' says ASML CEO
> The EU does not have a track record of staying ahead when they tangle with Asians for tech manufacturing supremacy.

ASML is literally the one that won vs Japan's Canon/Nikon.
