abakus··on xAI joins SpaceX
Nobody knows cooling satellites better than SpaceX
abakus··on Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting
China?
abakus··on Jax vs. Julia (Vs PyTorch)
superficial you say. How about I name these in chinese in my package?
abakus··on GNU Coding Standards: Writing Robust Programs
I find the coding standard too long to be taken seriously.
abakus··on Hyundai Nexo sets new world record 887.5 km travelled on single tank of hydrogen
Is hydrogen escaping into space something we should be legitimately concerned about if it became mainstream?

abakus··on CPU-based algorithm trains deep neural nets up to 15 times faster than top GPU
I hope this or related technology won't be used for cryptomining.
abakus··on OpenTTD 1.11
Mixed cargo actually enabled amazing throughputs and efficiency: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/m8q8rx/sushi_wago...
abakus··on The Sun is more active now than over the last 8000 years (2004)
How much of the global warming can be explained by this increased sun activity?
abakus··on Parallel Tracks
Its a good read. The author suggested that maybe its time for change, which makes me curious about what new model does he/she have in mind.
abakus··on Luna – Cloud gaming service
A lot of strategy games are very CPU hungry but not picky about GPU.
abakus··on Luna – Cloud gaming service
I like strategy games and I enjoying modding / editing various aspects of these games. I don't think Cloud gaming will allow me to do these.
abakus··on Intel Launches 11th Gen Core Tiger Lake
What happens to Intel's independent GPU project? With the new nVidia 30xx series it seems that Intel GPU will have a hard time finding its niches.
abakus··on Karpathy's MinGPT
If you just want to understand the Transformer, here is a clean implementation:

abakus··on Poll: 62% of Americans Say They Have Political Views They’re Afraid to Share
Yes, even here, people are more reluctant to comment on political related news, being afraid of getting downvoted to oblivion.
abakus··on The Light Phone
$350 ? really?
abakus··on The SpaceX Starship is a big deal
Since we are at the dawn of the space era, I have always wondered if earth mass loss due to massive space exploration will become a problem.
abakus··on The State of Machine Learning Frameworks
In terms of model expressiveness, I made a functional NN building API for PyTorch (just like keras'), which offers the optimal balance of flexibility and expressiveness: https://github.com/blue-season/pywarm
abakus··on Fundamentals of Python Programming [pdf]
type annotation is actually a fairly niche functionality. It is bad that most people cannot judge by themselves and just follow the hype.
abakus··on Visualizing the Speed of Light
But you have to factor in the age of this universe. A galaxy scaled intelligence probably haven't even finished a single thought since this universe was born.
abakus··on Visualizing the Speed of Light
The Speed of causality is hand crafted for our scale. It pretty much prohibits conscious beings of different scales to exist.
abakus··on Visualizing the Speed of Light
The more I think about it, the more clear that this universe is a containerized experiment on us. The actual question is, what are they looking for?
abakus··on Tensorflow 2.0
My heart desires python then
abakus··on Tensorflow 2.0
There is also tensorboardX:

abakus··on Tensorflow 2.0
Recently I found that a lot of TF2.0 Keras' functionaly does not support eager execution. This makes Pytorch still significantly easier to prototype with than TF2.0.

If you miss Keras' way of defining NNs, you can use PyWarm: https://github.com/blue-season/pywarm which offers a fully functional NN building API for pytorch.

abakus··on Commit Graph Drawing Algorithms
Very informative article!

I use to work for some company that has a very strict no-merge, only rebase policy, because they want to preserve a straight-line commit history. But I think what they actually need is an algorithm that can draw / print commit history in straight. To me, altering the model for the sake of view kinda of defeated the purposes.

abakus··on PyTorch – Tensor computation with strong GPU acceleration
https://github.com/blue-season/pywarm PyWarm is a lightweight, high-level neural network construction API for PyTorch. It enables defining all parts of NNs in the functional way.
abakus··on Show HN: Cascadia Code, a Font for Windows Terminal and VSCode
It is a nice font, but a bit too wide for my taste.
abakus··on Attention Mechanism in Deep Learning
For a very easy to understand explanation of the transformer and attention mechansim, see:

abakus··on Show HN: A small programming course for everyone
I am looking for a starting programming language for my kids. I don't really like these lego-like drag-and-drop visual programming "languages" though. This definitely looks like in the right direction. Thanks for sharing!
abakus··on How Do Developers Promote Open Source Projects?
One way is via comments, like this:
