notnap··on Llama2.mojo - outperforms Karpathy’s llama2.c by 30% in multi-threaded inference
Isn’t llama2.c was just a fun project for Karpathy?

When I compared llama2.c to llama.cpp it was way way slower.

All the mojo <insert number>x speed up claims I’m hearing about always use the baseline of some toy examples that nobody actually uses IRL.

Am I missing anything?

notnap··on Replicating GPT-2 at Home
Thanks for sharing.

I'm using 2080ti for my "at home" projects and going above CUDA 11.0 is indeed breaks lots of things - good luck trying to make something like colab/kaggle docker image for DS where you have TF+torch+sklearn+more combo.

In San Francisco nobody is getting bothered by a "criminal according to old stat rules" going through a row of parked cars smashing windows and grabbing everything in plain sight anymore. Not even arrest record would show up in modern stats. We are totally safe these days

Bose QC 35 II work exactly as you described. Yes, Previous Beats Studio bought from Apple failed to deliver such experience, hence why Apple spent some dough on custom connectivity chips, but proper headphones OEMs figure it out as well with just latest Bluetooth generation

First time ever I'm genuinely frustrated with apple - macs are not those unicorn tools anymore that work reliable

What are you talking about. Loss porn on r/wsb is great entertainment and scratches the “cautionary tale” itch very well. You can’t say that Robinhood users do that to themselves without consent at this point in time

If you scroll through the comments you would find union supporters that unironically think that union should be a “unified force” that represent the workers, thus, being that monopoly

> Unions are about democracy in the workplace. If everyone is in a different union, there can be no legitimate democratic decisions on behalf of the workers.

Wut?! TIL where people got the belief that single communist party could rule democratically. We all know how about those experiments played out in history
