Как желание быстрее читать чужой код превратилось в войну с недетерминизмом LLM

Началось всё примерно так. Я сидел над своим проектом: пока работал, общался по нему с нейросетками и параллельно искал в интернете разную информацию, которая могла бы пригодиться. И вот тогда у меня впервые начала закладываться мысль, что я хотел бы читать код быстрее. Что мне не нравится, сколько времени на это уходит.Позже эта мысль разгорелась сильнее — когда я взялся перечитывать собственный код двухмесячной давности. Я понимаю, что в нём...

TMD’s keyless bike lock is a $280 solution to a $60 problem

I've seen lots of so-called "smart" bike locks over the years, but none so far could justify the added cost. A newcomer that got its start securing ATMs for banks is trying to change that. There's nothing wholly unique about the TMD Chain Lock, but the combination of materials, performance, and insurance-friendly ART-2 certification makes […] Read more

Hawaii researchers are giving old fishing nets and recycled plastic a second life by mixing them into asphalt roads. Early tests found these roads didn't release more plastic particles than standard pavement, with tire wear overwhelming any plastic signal from the recycled material. If future studies confirm the roads are durable, the technology could help tackle both marine pollution and overflowing landfills. Read more

Перспективы ИИ в России: снова на исходной позиции, как и 100 лет назад (про политику)

Для России это означает очень простую вещь: угроза уже рядом. Зарубежная агентная система высокого уровня потенциально способна вывести из строя крупный банк, оператора связи, транспортный контур, промышленную систему, государственный реестр или цепочку поставок. Вопрос состоит не в том, появится ли такая возможность, а в том, насколько быстро она станет массовой и дешёвой.А что у нас? У нас оперштабы по ИИ и национальный приоритет внедрения ИИ к 2030г.

Как я свертки ускорял

После написания статьи про NormIs-1 я решил углубиться в тему оптимизации модели. Архитектура была неплохой и показала адекватные результаты на метриках интеллекта, но скорость сильно проседала. Проблема была в Depthwise Conv, а именно - множестве обращений к памяти. Между блоком внимания и FFN стоял небольшой блок сверток и тормозил все вычисления. Именно его я и решил ускорить. Делать целую языковую модель с полноценным вниманием возможности нет. Проблемы нестабильного обучения, взрывающийся... Read more

Шаблоны C++ как инструмент архитектуры: compile-time dispatch, type traits и type erasure

Всех приветствую! Я неоднократно встречал разработчиков, которые говорили, что метапрограммирование — это моветон, а шаблоны только усложняют код. Я понимаю, откуда берётся такое мнение потому, что при неаккуратном использовании шаблоны действительно могут сделать код сложным и тяжёлым для чтения.Но, на мой взгляд, проблема не в самом инструменте, а в том, как именно его применяют.Шаблоны в C++ - это не только std::vector и универсальные функции. В серьёзном C++ они часто используются... Read more

Thought by Carl Jung: “Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”

Carl Jung wrote that loneliness does not come from having no people about you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you, or from holding views that others find inadmissible. It’s one of his most quoted lines, and most people stop at the first half, the not-being-understood part. The half ... Read more Read more
