I think World models is way to go for Super Iintelligence. One of teh patent i saw already going in this direction for Autonomous mobility is https://patents.google.com/patent/EP4379577A1 where synthetic data generation (visualization) is missing step in terms of our human intelligence.

May I know what is the name of app that is built using LLM? 10k MRR is highly successful app.
Now the fourth element is the seminal paper " Attention is all you need" which has taken AI into next level with openAI LLMs and the likes. Another story that rightly fits in here. https://www.ft.com/content/37bb01af-ee46-4483-982f-ef3921436...
Re:How I ship projects at big tech companies on Wednesday November 13, 2024 @02:39AM (#42123730)
this is a reality in organisation: " it’s paradoxically often better for you if there is some kind of problem that forces a delay, for the same reason that the heroic on-call engineer who hotfixes an incident gets more credit than the careful engineer who prevents one." Its ironic in many areas. A leader (Project or Political) who ran projects and shipped smoothly is less valued than a leader who created a mess and got them fixed ...who is more celebrated. :(
we used to use Fixed point multiplications (Q Format) in DSP algorithms on different DSP architectures. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_(number_format). They used to be so fast and near accurate to floating point multiplications. Probably we need to use those DSPs blocks as part of Tensors/GPUs to realise both fast multiplications & parallelisms.

Can any expert in this domain validate the claimed performance over H100? Any pointers on how optical processors work and how mature they are over traditional processors.
When I began my career as a DSP optimization engineer, I worked on ZSP processors. I had a particular passion for branch predictions. By analyzing data, we would code and recode branch instructions to minimize mispredictions. I loved that super- scalar architecture of ZSP and its Branch prediction feature was amazing, apart from its multi Instruciton execution in a cycle.
India recently concluded its general elections. However, some opposition parties in southern states, who suffered significant losses, are alleging tampering, hacking, and even replacement of "lost EVMs" (Electronic Voting Machines). Is this possible? EVMs are generally not connected to WiFi or Bluetooth, but are there other ways the system could be manipulated as claimed by the losing parties? what do you think?

Ask HN: Dashboard to Report Health of a Project

Hi, I am planning to create a dashboard to report health of an automotive project: Jira Ticket situations, Testing status, Problem reports, Team Capacity & assignments etc. Are there any available tools that are ready-to-use dashboards (apart from JIRA) or do I have to use PowerBI only? Any good pointers from Project managers or product heads can help. TIA.

Re:Ask vs. Guess Culture on Friday August 18, 2023 @11:12PM (#37185113)
I have similar situation at home. I am from guess culture and always think about what the guests might need and offer them ahead. But my wife expects them to ask and doesn't bother much or ignores them. I see people from guess culture tend to be more empathetic as they think from others POV but the downside is they have anxiety of what others might judge and be more stressed. Ask culture people tend to be more situationally unaware and don't bother much and are relaxed.
