The article discusses the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, particularly in areas like disease diagnosis, drug discovery, and patient monitoring. It explores the potential benefits and challenges of AI in the medical field, highlighting the need for responsible development and deployment of these technologies.

The article discusses the rise of the Triforce, a popular game emulator for the Nintendo GameCube and Wii consoles. It highlights the emulator's key features, its development history, and its growing popularity among the gaming community.

Freeflow is an open-source, self-hosted, and privacy-focused alternative to popular social media platforms. It aims to provide users with a decentralized and ad-free social networking experience that prioritizes user control and data privacy.

The article explores techniques for handling race conditions in PostgreSQL, including using advisory locks, serializable transactions, and performing idempotent operations. It provides guidance on identifying and resolving race conditions to ensure data consistency and integrity in PostgreSQL applications.

The article describes how to run the Nanoclaw tool, a secure shell sandbox, in a Docker container. It provides instructions on building the Docker image and running the Nanoclaw tool within the container, allowing for a secure and isolated environment for executing untrusted code.

Renowned actor Robert Duvall, known for his iconic roles in films like The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, and Tender Mercies, has passed away at the age of 95, leaving behind a remarkable legacy in the entertainment industry.

The article explores the complex relationship between the brain and the human experience, arguing that we are more than just our brains and that our sense of self extends beyond the physical organ. It encourages readers to consider the broader context of their lives and the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and environment.

The article discusses the potential of large language models (LLMs) in assisting with decompilation, a process of recovering source code from compiled programs. It highlights the long-tail of applications where LLMs can be leveraged to enhance decompilation capabilities beyond traditional approaches.

Andrej Karpathy showed us the GPT algorithm. I wanted to see the hardware limit.

The Punchline: I made it go 4,600x faster in pure C code, no dependencies and using a compiler with SIMD auto-vectorisation!!!

Andrej recently released microgpt.py - a brilliant, atomic look at the core of a GPT. As a low-latency developer, I couldn't resist seeing how fast it could go when you get closer to the metal.

So just for funzies, I spent a few hours building microgpt-c, a zero-dependency and pure C99 implementation featuring:

- 4,600x Faster training vs the Python reference (Tested on MacBook Pro M2 Max). On Windows, it is 2,300x faster. - SIMD Auto-vectorisation for high-speed matrix operations. - INT8 Quantisation (reducing weight storage by ~8x). Training is slightly slower, but the storage reduction is significant.

- Zero Dependencies - just pure logic.

The amalgamation image below is just for fun (and to show off the density!), but the GitHub repo contains the fully commented, structured code for anyone who wants to play with on-device AI.

I have started to build something useful, like a simple C code static analyser - I will do a follow-up post.

Everything else is just efficiency... but efficiency is where the magic happens

The article explores the concept of 'sloptimism', a tendency to overestimate one's abilities and be overly optimistic about the future, leading to poor decision-making. It discusses how this mindset can negatively impact personal and professional lives, and offers strategies to cultivate a more realistic and productive outlook.
