Do you foresee this being faster than SIMD for things like cosine similarity? Apologies if I missed that context somewhere.

jzombie — Mon, 03 Mar 2025 04:56:46 +0000

I am using ChatGPT to help me build a language that has a domain-specific use case with non-LLM models. The interpreter is written in Rust and the language resembles a mix of Lisp and SQL.

I have something similar.

Nothing fancy, but gets the job done.

It's not a tradeoff that is worth it to me.

I don't want a Facebook extension to have access to arbitrary data that I copy and paste in my browser, which may be unrelated to the app I'm developing at the time.

I just responded to an adjacent query with the info.

It seems to do well for a lot of searches, though some are questionable, but I believe that I know why. I'm training some different autoencoders to give it some different perspectives.

> Likes/dislikes are stored in local storage and compared against all stories using cosine similarity to find the most relevant stories.

You're referring to using the embeddings for cosine similarity?

I am doing something similar with stocks. Taking several decades worth of 10-Q statements for a majority of stocks and weighted ETF holdings and using an autoencoder to generate embeddings that I run cosine and euclidean algorithms on via Rust WASM.

I am working on something similar and applied for your role! I prefixed my email with "ETF Matcher" just to correlate it here.

Maybe build something to do stock (or crypto, or some other market) analysis of some sort?

globcat.sh is a tiny little shell script that concatenates multiple files together, as specified by a glob pattern, and sends them to standard output.

I think it's safe to say that if the tensorflow-metal plugin is no longer supported, the project is dead on Apple.

I'd like to be wrong here, and while I'm making assumptions, I'd say that probably anything else related to neural networks on Apple is dead as well.

I agree. This advice should not be ignored; and if the OP is complaining about performance, the answer is lying here in plain sight.

I may have misinterpreted this comment by thinking you meant that as we squeeze more and more transistors into a small amount of space, the resulting waveforms would start to resemble analog more so than digital.

The enclosure of that device looks very similar to a Focusrite Scarlett Solo. Curious if it happens to be a repurposed one.

Quant trading is exactly that.

Eliminate recruiters by putting everyone to work

jzombie — Fri, 15 Mar 2024 16:37:35 +0000

I think the entire recruitment industry should be overhauled by an algorithm which is designed to match available jobs to the available worker pool, and is optimized to reduce the amount of available workers (not by forcing them to take jobs they don't want, but finding them relevant jobs they do want).

I can't even solve the damn thing tonight without being constantly told to start over.

It seems the issue is worse if I'm not on a VPN.
