ixaxaar··on Qwen 3.8 27B
I'm running it using a 4090 on using llama.cpp with Q5_K_S and its running at ~33 t/s
ixaxaar··on Vint Cerf, “father of the Internet”, is retiring
For a moment there I read "TC" and was like "the candidate"?!?!
ixaxaar··on Vint Cerf, “father of the Internet”, is retiring
Apparently there's "more to come" and its not a complete retirement.
ixaxaar··on Midjourney Medical
Well healthcare needs its own DLSS 5!
ixaxaar··on Anthropic surpasses OpenAI to become most valuable AI startup
Okay so regardless of the model, platforms provide attestation from end to end that nothing is being logged from either input or output, including at the firmware and OS level to the extent that the customers have proof of the data never being saved. AFAIK, both GPUs and TPUs support this.
ixaxaar··on Git 3.0 will use main as the default branch
From a third-world perspective, it feels like American politics being injected into the developer domain because of some previous biases that Americans had. Which is sad for a community that claims to be global.
ixaxaar··on Cormac McCarthy's personal library
Or maybe he was searching for "structure", the way Grothendieck was - in pure math, in systems biology, in complex networks (e.g. civilizations, culture, occult) and in individual behaviors
ixaxaar··on Microsoft-backed UK tech unicorn Builder.ai collapses into insolvency
I wonder how many of these hype-chasing AI founders are going to take the path of self-enrichment while capitulating their startups when they get exhausted of searching for a moat.
ixaxaar··on Claude Code: Best practices for agentic coding
> These are effectively identical to outsourcing your product to someone like Infosys.

But in my experience, the user has to be better than an Infosys employee to know how to convey the task to the LLM and then verify iteratively.

So more like an experienced engg outsourcing work to a service company engg.

ixaxaar··on Nvidia-Ingest: Multi-modal data extraction
Ah so like NIM is a set of microservices on top of various models, and this is another set of microservices using NIM microservices to do large scale OCR?

and that too integrated with prometheus, 160GB VRAM requirement and so on?

Looks like this is targeted for enterprises or maybe governments etc trying to digitalize at scale.

ixaxaar··on Can LLMs write better code if you keep asking them to “write better code”?
Garbage in garbage out.
ixaxaar··on Fly.io outage (restoration in progress)
Can you shed some more light on this "browning out" phenomenon?
ixaxaar··on Two Nobel Prize winners want to cancel their own CRISPR patents in Europe
What a sad fucking world. I like what China does in the regard to patents. That is exactly what patents deserve.
ixaxaar··on Micron launches 60TB PCIe gen5 SSD with 12GB/s read speeds
Woohoo exactly!
ixaxaar··on Ticketmaster confirms data breach with a SEC filing
Cool, rise of concert tourism? At least better than medical tourism ig.
ixaxaar··on Healthcare Datasets for AI/ML
Hey guys, I built this large list of healthcare datasets from last year when I spent some time in researching and downloading them to try out various things (AI).

Hope this is useful to someone!

ixaxaar··on Leaked OpenAI documents reveal aggressive tactics toward former employees
Extreme pinky swear.
ixaxaar··on Statement from Scarlett Johansson on the OpenAI "Sky" voice
So a kind of lack of empathy? Do these guys have this image of "autists" and are basically filtering for them, cause this criteria seems to be favoring oppositional defiance disorder.

I mention this specifically because I remember mark andreseen comment something similar in lex fridman's podcast, something along the lines of getting "those creative people" together to build on ai.

ixaxaar··on No "Zero-Shot" Without Exponential Data
The physical world has limits, that's why sigmoids everywhere.
ixaxaar··on Ask HN: What have you built with ESPHome, ESP8266 or similar hardware
My AI chat thing: https://imgur.com/a/cxR8KpM (WIP). Connects to openai transcription, completion and tts APIs. Refactoring to use assistants, to use it to feed it my fridge's manual and have it think it's my fridge.
ixaxaar··on Kate editor on all platforms
I wrote a part of the kernel (uitron) for Toshiba SSDs that went into macbooks around 2013 on kate. It was my first and favorite editor :D
ixaxaar··on Meta MTIA v2 – Meta Training and Inference Accelerator
If all this turns out to be useless, burning their cash for nothing seems like a great way to accelerate tech while going down. I guess that would actually be a positive thing.
ixaxaar··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2024)
Hey love what Kagi is doing!

I'm based out of India, can I apply?

ixaxaar··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (April 2024)

  Location: India
  Remote: Yes
  Willing to relocate: Yes
  Technologies: Python, Scala, terraform, k8s, scikit-learn, pytorch, transformers
  Résumé/CV: https://github.com/ixaxaar
  Email: ixaxaar at geniusrise dot . ai
I've built early stage startup teams, starting at 4-5, and taking them to 40-50. I can handle pretty much all forms of tech work - management, backend, frontend, devops, data engg, data sci, AI/ML

Some interesting links: https://github.com/geniusrise - containerized inference servers for LLMs etc (like NVIDIA NIM) https://github.com/ixaxaar/pytorch-dnc - reverse-engineered implementation of deepmind's DNC, SAM & SDNC http://monoid.space - pure math and theorem prover tutorial

ixaxaar··on UnitedHealth Group has paid more than $2B to providers following cyberattack
Any org? Would, for example, openai be included in your definition of "any org"?

Look, "in principle" stuff is not how the real world works. AFAIK, hacks happen mostly because of carelessness. No one cares because no one cares if they care (and the compensations etc reflect that). I know enough such cases in fintech (forget about other verticals), which are mostly stupid like wrong RBAC, open firewall, AWS keys taken by roommate etc and not public of course.

ixaxaar··on UnitedHealth Group has paid more than $2B to providers following cyberattack
Good. Also, don't hire good devs, only hire the cheap ones in India.

Money saved can be paid to these providers. That way, the money stays in the us. A 10k IQ move that no one will understand.

/s ov course

ixaxaar··on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announces new AI chips: ‘We need bigger GPUs’
There are also open source equivalents btw - https://github.com/geniusrise
ixaxaar··on Show HN: Flash Attention in ~100 lines of CUDA
You mean triton the inference server or triton the DSL for cuda?
ixaxaar··on Study: Dark matter does not exist and the universe is 27B years old
"Goodwill"?
ixaxaar··on AutoDev: Automated AI-driven development by Microsoft
To prove some kind of superiority over all programmers?

I think that would fit idiot savant logic very well.
