Those are complexity classes. It makes more sense to use '∈' instead of abused '='.
Re:Calculus with Julia on Monday October 12, 2026 @05:47AM (#50053870)
Julia's interop is amazing. I've used AI to generate Julia code that calls cuBLASLt for efficient tensor FP8 computations. It achieves like 90% of maximal theoretical GPU performance withing a workflow written completely in Julia.

It's ok. Not only the second source published here contradicts the first (nothing was quashed, killer got maximum), the judge's speech is contradictory itself. "As angry as you are ... I heard the forgiveness". How could he hear both anger and forgiveness? It's either one or another (or schizophrenia if both). And if he heard the forgiveness, why is the sentence maximal?

The drones are jet-powered and fly in masses, you can't shoot down them all. Though only 1-2 can reach the city. But they do so quite frequently, a couple times per day.

Pure terrorism.

Re:On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @02:09PM (#49614247)
Your coworkers, after they learned about major progress in this problem, asked a model which was trained on the year of private work (the blog post even acknowledges this). No wonder it found the proof in less than a week using significantly higher compute resources. And if Tristan's accusations are true, that was absolutely intentional on the part of OpenAI. You are an evil company with evil people.
Re:Navier-Stokes – Tristan Buckmaster [pdf] on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @11:58AM (#49612206)
They have messed things up, because Levent has a conflict of interest between his job at Anthropic and this independent work, and Tristan should have opted out of OpenAI training on their work (he probably didn't know about this). This doesn't justify OpenAI's despicable attempt to steal their work.
Re:Navier-Stokes – Tristan Buckmaster [pdf] on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @09:25AM (#49610048)
Can you call paranoia a fear of something which is happening? OpenAI uses user chats for training and they are "open" about it.

Re:Record-High 89% in U.S. Say Government Corruption Widespread on Saturday September 05, 2026 @03:04AM (#49573892)
I wouldn't call it corruption when the richest man decides how the government's money should be spent. He is not an official, after all. I would call it a dead democratic system. EOL.
The Julia type system is also great for AI, it makes code generation more robust. I also liked that some Julia code (such as matrix multiplication) can be executed on a GPU with no change and will be almost as fast as possible, although complex algorithms still require writing specialized kernels (which can be done completely in Julia as well).
Re:A digestion of the proof of Sendov's conjecture on Tuesday August 18, 2026 @09:30AM (#49345376)
I find his submission very valuable. It is not only digestible for humans but also summarizes the proof, explains what humans were missing, and highlights the methods that could help with stronger and similar conjectures (see his comments to the post).

LLMs don't understand things as human mathematicians do, even though they are very good at finding analogies and similarities. Their advantage is a larger search space (experience) and search speed, not better understanding.

I'm sure US billionaires will find a way to extract those trillions from the public. They're smart, they can handle it. After all, they can ask AI for advice on how to do it.
In other words, the US gov will simply put all the debt onto the public, as usual.
But we now have trillionaires, aren't you happy about that? It means you might be the one some day too /s

Re:Artificial intelligence is not conscious – Ted Chiang on Thursday June 04, 2026 @07:17AM (#48397024)
My purpose was to say that humans might not be capable enough to see what's there beyond just rocks and gases. Actually, this should be a popular view, because, according to modern theory, the observable universe accounts for only 5% of its mass, with the rest consisting of dark matter and dark energy.

It is hard to estimate how much human egocentrism takes in the space, though.

And BTW, ants are quite capable of understanding their environment in order to survive and thrive.

Re:Artificial intelligence is not conscious – Ted Chiang on Thursday June 04, 2026 @05:02AM (#48396046)
> the rest of the universe thus far is just uncaring rocks and gases

This is probably what ants think about humans when they run through their feet.

This blog post clearly targets VCs, but what they are doing is legit and can improve the performance of local models on low-end hardware as well, especially since their priority is to optimize non-batched inference.
The fact that users are using more search queries means they can't find what they want with a lesser number of queries. It seems that Google's PR team doesn't have an incentive to understand that, or thinks that everyone else is stupid.
