Почему bfloat16 стал стандартом для обучения нейросетей? Не потому, что он оптимален как число, — а потому что под него десять лет затачивали GPU и TPU. Снимаем этот эффект железа и смотрим на числа честно.В статье: семейство форматов GoldenFloat (GF4, GF8, GF16, GF32, GF64, GF1024) с основанием φ = (1+√5)/2; метрика «бит на значение» (GF16 = 2.5725 обходит bf16 = 2.6135 на одном корпусе); и неожиданный мост к троичной машине...

Here is a finding that stuck with me. Across three big American studies tracking more than 17,000 people, those who felt roughly eight, eleven and thirteen years older than their actual age had 18%, 29% and 25% higher mortality risk respectively. The figure tracked not their chronological age, but how old they felt. The age ... Read more Read more ›

The first video ever uploaded to YouTube is not an event, not a viral phenomenon, not a curated piece of content, and not particularly interesting on its own terms. It is a 19-second clip of a 25-year-old man standing in front of an elephant enclosure at the San Diego Zoo, observing that elephants have long ... Read more Read more ›

The headline number is the kind of figure that is hard to absorb without somehow flattening it back into ordinary language. Ten septillion years is 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years.

I am not a psychologist, and what follows is reading and reflection on a handful of studies, not advice about your life.

The mind does not like the present. Left to its own devices, it drifts. It runs back over a conversation from last week and replays the part you wish you’d handled better, or it leans forward into next month and starts rehearsing things that haven’t happened and may never happen.

The first time I read it, I thought it was a typo. Sitting in a list of perfectly sensible workplace statements, the kind about clear expectations and having the right tools to do your job, was a line that read more like something a child might ask: do you have a best friend at work? ...

I caught myself thinking something the other day that I’m not proud of. A friend mentioned that an older relative of his had just signed up for a class, and my first reaction, the one I had the sense not to say out loud, was a quiet “what’s the point at that age?” It’s an ... Read more Read more ›
