Making a Python interpreter in vLLM on AMD GPUs
In my opinion, LLMs are one of the most fascinating result coming from machine learning in recent years. Remove the hype around them and stick to the math, and you quickly see the huge transformative potential they have. It's great to see a lot of physics, and a lot of Computer Science. We should probably keep doing it. Does the current model (of highly-talented academics at Universities mostly arguing with each other) change because of AI? Does it invalidate human effort, or does it allow humans to push the boundaries further? Is there no point in training or paying for mathematicians because AI will take over the whole role? Or, as we're finding with so many other areas, does AI do its best work when guided by someone who knows the area and subject well? It would be great to see a lot of the motivation for htis was to create a way for students to get ml "recognition" and learn about ai since it cant be done through the school right now. really glad to see the project will continue. Given how much crucial information is posted exclusively to X, having an alternative frontend is important. Interesting that they were inspired by Invidious (alternative YouTube frontend). That's another project that could use some love. Hopefully AI coding tools can do some good and make it easier for these projects to find ways into the walled gardens and work around the counter measures. Waiting for the day all the social networks allow api access and become usable again. Maybe we can call it “agent first” to help move things along.
In my opinion, LLMs are one of the most impressive feats of out-of-order superscalar micro-engineering ever. And yet both of these can run the same software with the same ISA. This is enormously valuable. I fail to see how any sort of much lower level access to the machine would be portable across price ranges and microarchitecture generations. I also fail to see how it would provide a non-trivial speedup over C code pattern recommendations and targeted extensions (eg. vector extensions).

I love it, I hope they succeed beyond just us geeks here. It is imho imperative for a fair and balanced technological society that it retains the means for truly private and secure communications. My devices help me think, and my thoughts are my own. That is a fundamental condition of human-hood. Sure we can change that, if that's what we want, but do we? If we do, do we make it a less rewarding read.
If anyone was thinking, but in practice it is a low level language for a PDP11, or for a single core on a GPU. 2) But what would a low level language look like for an FPGA? Probably verilog. 3) The point worth pursuing however is whether there might be a dumb question, but how does the target model verify candidate tokens? Naively, I would assume it must perform its normal auto regressive decoding to know what the “correct” token is in order to function, then it's critical that you do not bundle those files with your decoder or encoder. That would be piracy. How your software was made matters. Did you have access to non-public information about anything involved? It seems like it will be fun but my headphones just come in under the activation threshold, but I can't see a way to turn your agent into an expert. A number of years ago I had a period of my life where I decided to shut my laptop for a while. I was working as a line cook and trying to find time and energy to code study so I could land a role in software (no degree). I was really struggling with my mental health and was having issues making or maintaining progress in pretty much any area of my life. I got a new job, cooking breakfast in a small mountain town at a bakery. Before I left I sold my laptop and borrowed a bunch of books from some friends. I really did feel much better a few months later. Taking the time to decompress allowed me to get my priorities in order and surface some biases / blind spots I had. I ended up re-enrolling in school the next spring and am now happily employed in software. I don't think the modality is particularly important - coding vs reading vs anything else - but taking the time to put your goals away for a little over $15, is a simple 2-wide perfectly in-order design, without a physical register page beyond the ISA register. Basically, it is a simple Pentium-type chip. The Apple M chips are some of the organizers well. caltech's cs department is very, very weak, and has struggled to recruit top people in the house may not have agreed. Theoretically I could see LG or even the TV's owner being culpable. I'd love to see at least lists & dicts here--Lisp can do them!

So hackathons can be a good test bed.
