After Belgium scored their 4th goal vs USA, the whole team mocked President Donald Trump by doing his signature dance move Pretty savage troll, especially on US soil & after Trump fought to have FIFA review the bogus red card suspension on Balogun. Well played 🤝

You’ve found me at a very Luke Littler vs James Wade at the UK Open Butlin’s Minehead on ITV4 time in my life

Might read a book. 📕 Only joking , going to look at my phone while a shit film plays in the background that I’ve seen at least 3 times and eat sugar until the anxiety is so overwhelming I have to go to bed. 😉

it feels profoundly startling to naturally stumble across an image that I'd previously only ever seen in my head

My partner bought a CD player that we can plug into our car so we can play our CDs and the Amazon listing features the following images. 💀💀💀

One built-in UI/UX feature of LLM interfaces I'd love is proof. I almost always do this manually - for example if the LLM recommends running some commands with some switches, I manually look up and verify the API in the docs to make sure those switches are correct and that I understand what they do. i.e. I want to double check the LLM's recollection. A feature that automatically brings in original material / reputable sources and highlights relevant sections as proof alongside factual generations would be very cool.

Highly amusing update
Highly amusing update, ~18 hours later: llm.c is now down to 26.2ms/iteration, exactly matching PyTorch (tf32 forward pass). We discovered a bug where we incorrectly called cuBLAS in fp32 mathmode 🤦‍♂️. And ademeure contributed a more optimized softmax kernel for very long rows (50,257 elements per row, in the last logits layer). But the fun doesn’t stop because we still have a lot of tricks up the sleeve. Our attention kernel is naive attention, not flash attention, and materializes the (very large) preattention and postattention matrices of sizes (B, NH, T, T), also it makes unnecessary round-trips with yet-unfused GeLU non-linearities and permute/unpermute inside our attention. And we haven’t reached for more optimizations, e.g. CUDA Graphs, lossless compressible memory (?), etc. So the updated chart looks bullish :D, and training LLMs faster than PyTorch with only ~2,000 lines of C code feels within reach. Backward pass let’s go.

as a longtime fan of Conway's "Game of Life" algorithm i never once considered visualizing the time axis physically -- this is breathtaking and elegant to me credit: instagram.com/reel/C2hoRnFsm…

Fun fact: If you have a good musical ear, you can tell the speed of a passing vehicle by listening to the pitch interval it makes as it goes by. You don't even need perfect pitch since it only depends on the ratio. If you hear more a major third or more, they're speeding!

Did you know that Apple offers a white noise generator on iPhone iOS 15 or later, to help you sleep or simply relax and focus. You can also choose Rain, Stream, Ocean and more too. Very handy indeed!
