sheet music isn't a language, it's a notation. it's just a concise way to represent a waveform (a song). and it's certainly one dimensional because you either play the song forwards or backwards.

any thing that computes matmul faster than by hand technically accelerates matmul - so what's your point?

> https://pypi.org/project/PyX/

the last release is Oct 16, 2022. are we doing this like jerseys - the name is now retired because pyx won all the championships?

there's something about these comments ("name-collision") that drives me up the wall. do y'all realize multiple things can have the same name? for example, did you know there are many people with exactly the same names:

and yet no one bemoans this (hospitals don't consult name registries before filling out birth certificates). that's because it's almost always extremely clear from context.

> The real pyx

what makes that pyx any more "real" than this pyx? it's the extension of the language py plus a single letter. there are probably a thousand projects that could rightfully use that combination of letters as a name.

Same - I work on a cpp GPU compiler. All the LLMs are worthless. Ironically the compiler I work on is used heavily for LLM workloads.

47% of Republicans would still vote for Trump even if he were implicated in Epstein's crimes:

every quant shop has QR and QT people that can barely write passable python let alone cpp - then the QD people have to integrate that stuff with prod cpp pipelines.

> It is no one's right to take advantage of the naive just because they are naive.

Lol give me a break - this isn't cigarettes or homeopathic medicine we're talking about here. It's AI bullshit and primarily the "people" getting take advantage of are just other greedy corporations.

> We should be pissed at how often corporations lie in marketing and get away with it

Some of us are pissed? The rest of us want to exploit that freedom and thus the circle of life continues. But my point is your own naivete will always be your own responsibility.

Welcome to for profit enterprises? The fact that anyone even for a moment thought otherwise is the real shocking bit of news.

> However I do wish AMD would clean up their driver. Or at least settle on an ISA.

These two things have absolutely nothing to do with each other - drivers don't talk to the cores, which "run" the ISA, they talk to the command processors (which are RISCV or MIPS or some other uC) using the command packet protocol.

Anecdotes abound <shrug>. My only advantage going into it was 1) I was a good reader 2) I was well familiar with logical fallacies from a childhood of trolling/debating people online. But it's a standardized test that covers a very small set of skills. So just like any other standardized thing it's trainable.

Not with intent - I remember that I was excited the first time I got a 180 (maybe half-way through?) but I didn't stop at that point. Each test only took about two hours (I didn't practice the essay section because it was well-known it didn't matter) so it wasn't such a huge investment to do them all. Including the practice book it took me about 2 months of 1-2 practice tests a day.

the only secret to the LSAT is to grind practice tests. back in the day (~10 years ago) i torrented all the available tests (~70) and all the practice books. I did one of the books to learn the "tricks" and then just took all the tests. scored a 178 (and then never went to law school lol).

Lololol

which shows that this feature request is complete jibberish

> Google does not really own the complete AI stack, NVDA is extracting a lot of the value there.

What are you saying..... Google is literally the only player that does not buy tons of Nvidia devices because they have TPUs.

> PHD

Do you know that it's PhD because the h is part of word philosophy?

Lol that makes zero sense - not having a stake in something is literally the definition of not having an incentive.

Why do people feel the need to comment this on every single JIT post? Like imagine commenting on every post about Pepsi "Coca-cola exists since 1886".

tangential question: does anyone know a way to call/use CUDA from graphics code? like directx or opengl (or whatever). as opposed to this code which is named "renderer" but doesn't draw to the screen...

I don't what this has to do with what you're responding to - tech mapping and routing are two completely different things and routing is known NP complete.

Man what level of weird delusion is this? Windsurf was an app for code completion not interstellar space travel lol.

> Yah, over 50% it's going nowhere but expectation needs to consider how huge the win is even if it is lower probability.

yes that's literally the definition of expectation value...... so

    ev = 1 bagillion * 0.0000000000000001 = ~0

hence you should absolutely not be taking higher equity/lower salary ever. hell i wouldn't even take that at a publically traded company if given the option.

There are an enormous number of papers like this. I wrote a paper accelerating a small CNN classifier on FPGA and when I compared against the previous SOTA GPU implementation and the numbers were way off from the paper. I did a git blame on their repo and found that after the paper was published they deleted the lines that short-circuited eval if the sample was all 0 (which much of their synthetic data was ¯\_(ツ)_/¯).

Whose hands exactly is LLVM in?

Dynamic programming has absolutely nothing to do with caching (or programming). You should read the article.

> Have you used ISPC

No professional kernel writer uses Auto-vectorization.

> I feel it's a bit ridiculous that in this day and age you have to write SIMD code by hand

You feel it's ridiculous because you've been sold a myth/lie (abstraction). In reality the details have always mattered.

lolol yc/hn/sv is in for a wakeup call when all the cheap, extremely competent, highly motivated talent dries up. i'm not saying labor exploitation is to be celebrated but it's also very clear to anyone who works at a FAANG that their success is highly coupled to how many immigrants work very long hours.

no it's not - string interpolation means inlining values and such. format strings long predate string interpolation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printf
