I think World models is way to go for Super Intelligence. One of teh patent i saw already going in this direction for Autonomous mobility is https://patents.google.com/patent/EP4379577A1 where synthetic data generation (visualization) is missing step in terms of our human intelligence.

May I know what is the name of app that is built using LLM? 10k MRR is highly successful app.

Now the fourth element is the seminal paper " Attention is all you need" which has taken AI into next level with openAI LLMs and the likes. Another story that rightly fits in here. https://www.ft.com/content/37bb01af-ee46-4483-982f-ef3921436...

New comment by yogrish in "How I ship projects at big tech companies"

yogrish — Wed, 13 Nov 2024 07:39:22 +0000

this is a reality in organisation: " it’s paradoxically often better for you if there is some kind of problem that forces a delay, for the same reason that the heroic on-call engineer who hotfixes an incident gets more credit than the careful engineer who prevents one." Its ironic in many areas. A leader (Project or Political) who ran projects and shipped smoothly is less valued than a leader who created a mess and got them fixed ...who is more celebrated. :(

we used to use Fixed point multiplications (Q Format) in DSP algorithms on different DSP architectures. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_(number_format). They used to be so fast and near accurate to floating point multiplications. Probably we need to use those DSPs blocks as part of Tensors/GPUs to realise both fast multiplications & parallelisms.

Hi HNers, My team and I are working on porting a Computer vision deep learning model onto embedded platforms. Please suggest good resources (tools, visualizers etc) to learn optimization techniques like pruning, quantization, model compression etc?

Ask HN: Seeking Advice on Choosing the Right Stream for My Son

yogrish — Mon, 26 Aug 2024 12:09:46 +0000

Hello everyone, I’m reaching out for some guidance regarding my son, who is currently in 10th grade and at a crossroads in deciding between the science or commerce stream. His assessments indicate that he has strong reasoning skills, is inquisitive, and has an enterprising spirit. He excels in physics and is above average in math, although he’s not interested in biology despite his aptitude for it. He’s curious by nature, enjoys challenges, and loves building with Legos.

As an electronics engineer, I naturally lean towards encouraging him to pursue a career in engineering, particularly in fields like computer science, electronics, robotics, or AI. However, I’m aware that I might be biased in this regard. My son, on the other hand, is considering a career in accounting, drawn by the perception of it being a well-paid job with what he believes to be less effort compared to engineering. He feels that the math involved in accounting is simpler than that in engineering.

I’m uncertain about the long-term career prospects in both fields, especially with AI potentially disrupting areas like accounting. While I see a wide range of opportunities in engineering, I’m also trying to consider his interests and the possibility of job satisfaction in finance.

I would greatly appreciate your insights on the pros and cons of these two streams:

Engineering: -Competitive pay -Potential for a balanced work-life (depending on the organization) -Opportunities for travel -Challenging and dynamic work environment -Possibility of freelancing or starting his own business

CA/Finance: - Competitive pay -Likely less travel involved - Freelancing might be challenging or less lucrative -Concerns about long-term job satisfaction

Any advice, insights, or personal experiences you can share would be incredibly helpful as we navigate this decision. Thank you in advance!

Can any expert in this domain validate the claimed performance over H100? Any pointers on how optical processors work and how mature they are over traditional processors.

yogrish — Mon, 29 Jul 2024 07:29:46 +0000

When I began my career as a DSP optimization engineer, I worked on ZSP processors. I had a particular passion for branch predictions. By analyzing data, we would code and recode branch instructions to minimize mispredictions. I loved that super- scalar architecture of ZSP and its Branch prediction feature was amazing, apart from its multi Instruciton execution in a cycle.

New comment by yogrish in "Indian Elections: Can EVM(Electronic Voting Machines)Be Hacked/Tampered?"

yogrish — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 10:00:48 +0000

India recently concluded its general elections. However, some opposition parties in southern states, who suffered significant losses, are alleging tampering, hacking, and even replacement of "lost EVMs" (Electronic Voting Machines). Is this possible? EVMs are generally not connected to WiFi or Bluetooth, but are there other ways the system could be manipulated as claimed by the losing parties? what do you think?

Ask HN: Dashboard to Report Health of a Project

Hi, I am planning to create a dashboard to report health of an automotive project: Jira Ticket situations, Testing status, Problem reports, Team Capacity & assignments etc. Are there any available tools that are ready-to-use dashboards (apart from JIRA) or do I have to use PowerBI only? Any good pointers from Project managers or product heads can help. TIA.
