I am slower than a computer at computation, so why would I compete against it?

While I can, at least partially, empathize with the fact that the changing tide is closing in very fast, maybe we as engineers should lean more into what makes us such, and focus on applying principles in order to build machines.

I think it does what it’s supposed to do.

I’m just wondering how this translates to computer manufacturers like Apple. Could we have these kinds of chips built directly into computers within three years? With insanely fast, local on-demand performance comparable to today’s models?

Quite unforgiving. It quickly confirmed the sloppiness of a few titles that are currently sitting on the front page.

> Our key insight is to offload critical softmax primitives to idle tensor units, maximizing hardware utilization and throughput.

> … speedups of 1.05–1.17×across diverse attention configurations on Ampere and Hopper GPUs …

I found the captions on Figure 1 quite interesting.

> Average performance (%) across four agentic benchmarks improves consistently with increasing model Intelligence Index.

> Centralized and hybrid coordination generally yield superior scaling efficiency, suggesting that collaborative agentic structures amplify capability gains more effectively than individual scaling alone.

Then again, the deltas between SAS and best performing MAS approach are ~8%, so I can't help wonder if it's worth the extra cost, at least for the generation of models that was studied.

> This isn't just compliance theater; it's a straight‑up national economic security play.

The woes of LLM contrasts…

In all seriousness, the points made ring true not only for European companies and should make everyone consider the implications of the current situation, as dreary as they are.

Sounds like your experience matches what's being described in the paper. Even if we get correct code, it might not carry design intent.

It might seem contrary to the current trend, but I've recently returned to using nvim as my daily driver after years with VS Code. This shift wasn't due to resource limitations but rather the unnecessary strain from agentic features consuming high amounts of resources.

Geopolitical reality TV at its finest.

In the page that you linked, it states that he wants to implement a measure that enforces minimum 51% participation by the state in all natural resource exploitation activities on Romanian territory.

While this can be viewed as a left-wing policy, it can also be a form of economic nationalism.

As far as I understand, he gets classified as far right [1], because of his ultranationalist and ultraconservative views.

The parties that declared support for him [2][3][4], after the first election round, have similar views.

The frontrunner was an independent candidate who claimed to have spent nothing on his campaign, asserting that it was entirely run by “volunteers.”

Romanian secret services, under the directive of the current president, released reports concluding that both state and non-state actors had been involved in manipulating public opinion.

The candidate holds extreme right-wing views aligned with Romanian neo-Nazi groups. He has repeatedly referred to Romanian Nazi leaders as heroes and has expressed admiration for Putin, calling him a hero as well. His speeches often included mystical elements and rejected modern medical science, denying the existence of viruses and questioning the effectiveness of chemotherapy for cancer. While he has made other controversial statements, I will leave it at that.
