The post discusses Attention and The Transformer, essential concepts in modern deep learning models, focusing on neural machine translation. The Transformer, developed to speed up model training and outperform Google’s model, uses attention and parallelization effectively. The encoding and decoding components consist of multiple layers, including self-attention and feed-forward networks. Multi-headed attention allows the model […]

The Tegra X1 SoC in the Nintendo Switch was originally intended for various uses like Android set top boxes and automotive applications, with a focus on video encode and decode capabilities. The Tegra X1’s video engine surpasses desktop Maxwell’s in certain aspects, and requires custom software support from Nvidia. Testing showed that the Tegra X1 […]
Artificial intelligence models used in medical diagnoses, especially with images like X-rays, have shown to have accuracy discrepancies across demographic groups, performing worse in women and people of color. A surprising development in 2022 showed that AI models are able to predict a patient’s race from chest X-rays, surpassing radiologists. Researchers have found that these […]

Julia gave a talk explaining Hilbert’s Tenth Problem (H10) in San Francisco in 1974, shedding light on Diophantine equations and their historical significance. The problem, posed by Hilbert in 1900, sought an algorithm to determine if a Diophantine equation had integer solutions. The solution, achieved by Yuri Matiyasevich with contributions from Julia and others, marked […]
Mako, the “extremely fast” and “production-grade” front-end build tool based on Rust, is now open source after being internally released at Ant Group. Developed by sorrycc and the team, Mako aims to address build performance issues in modern frontend tools by providing a thorough solution through Rust. The project timeline, benchmark data, and speed improvements […]
The Gulkana Site, home to significant Alaskan Native copper artifacts, has been a neglected treasure for decades due to a data management backlog in archaeology. Despite being excavated 50 years ago, much of the valuable information has remained unanalyzed. The author, a Ph.D. student at Purdue University, is utilizing digital public archaeology to breathe new […]
The recent buzz surrounding Kolmogorov-Arnold networks (KANs) has sparked interest in their potential to outperform traditional neural networks. While KANs show promise in achieving similar performance with fewer parameters, they require extensive tuning and complex implementation. B-Splines, the preferred activation function in KANs, offer robust customizations and differentiability crucial for machine learning. However, PyKAN, a […]
The author’s competitive spirit led them to create a project where they successfully booted Linux off of a Google Drive root without the help of a second machine. They navigated the complex Linux boot process, utilized FUSE programs, and customized the initramfs using Dracut. Facing challenges with slow performance, symlinks, and permissions, they persevered to […]
