The Kavanaugh stops are heading in the expected direction. Nice job, Justice Kavanaugh. Your reasoning will go down is history as a tragic joke. This should not happen in America. “Show me your papers”.

🚀 Phi-4 is here! Today Microsoft launched Phi-4, our latest Small Language Model in the Phi series. It excels on graduate level questions in science, and is great on coding. Congratulations to the Microsoft Research and Azure teams for the launch!

Microsoft Research is live in Japan! I'm excited that our new MSR Asia Tokyo lab is official, under the strong leadership of @yasumat. Tokyo joins our recent new sites in Nairobi and Vancouver, with more to come as MSR expands around the globe. news.microsoft.com/ja-jp/2024/11/…

The Rust verification tool Verus aims to make formal verification more widely available to developers, helping them create software that behaves as intended. Learn about the work, an award winner at SOSP ’24, w/ Chris Hawblitzel & Jay Lorch on “Abstracts”: msft.it/6017WXtX1

@jennwvaughan Good luck Jenn! I've run 5 marathons, and what i always tell people is that it's 26.2 miles, and the .2 matters! Cheering for you from Austin.
English
Hey New Yorkers! If you’re out along the marathon route tomorrow, look for me and my husband Jeff. We had so much fun last year we made the crazy choice to run again. The positive energy from the crowds keeps folks going for 26.2 miles, so if you pass by the race, give a cheer!

very late life update, but I’m very excited to have started my PhD at NYU! (featuring the obligatory washington square park selfie)

As someone who has been a journalist for almost 40 year, working as a senior writer at the New York Times, Newsweek, etc, the decision by @WilliamLewis, a Murdoch alum, to cripple the @washingtonpost by abandoning endorsements, is one of the most craven actions I've ever seen../1

This is disingenuous and silly - aggression disguised as commentary. People are angry because it’s a telling sign that the owner of the paper doesn’t want to cross Trump and is afraid of repercussions of doing so. People who value civic democracy understand this.
Byron York@ByronYork
The collective freakout over the Washington Post non-endorsement shows 1) the degree to which staff believed their endorsement really mattered, and 2) deep need in liberal circles to believe that the Washington Post was on their side.

And I've cancelled my Washington Post subscription. Democracy dies when cowards block the light.

I've just proudly cast my vote for Kamala Harris. I hope that all of you do too, as early as you can. This is the most inportant election in at least half a century.
English
@business It's early, but this is a huge milestone. Even at equivalent yields this progress lowers risks and increases resilience for our entire industry. Good news for TSMC, NVDA, AMD, and the whole cloud industry.
English
TSMC has achieved early production yields at its first plant in Arizona that surpass similar factories in Taiwan, a significant breakthrough for a US expansion project initially dogged by delays and worker strife trib.al/c6XdKvH

You’re telling me bf16 stands for (Google) Brain Float? What??
Should I just assume Google invented everything unless proven otherwise?

@AliciaCurth @MSFTResearch @javiergonzh Welcome aboard, Alicia! Looking forward to working with you.

According to lohud.com/obituaries/pny… Robert Dennard has passed away.
This man's work on DRAM and technology scaling has an inestimable impact on every computer on the planet for the past 50 years.
Thank you, Bob Dennard.
Jan Gray@jangray
@TubeTimeUS Thanks to Bob Dennard for DRAM (and for The End of Dennard Scaling :-) ) and to Bob Proebsting for RAS/CAS addr muxing! computerhistory.org/collections/ca… computerhistory.org/collections/ca… computerhistory.org/collections/ca…

@jonmasters If only there was a language that allowed you to program in high-level semantics, had a tractably simple compiler, and generated hardware designs as efficient as hand-optimized RTL. Stay tuned.
English
IMO it’s because “FPGAs are hard”. RTL looks like code, but it really represents digital logic all running in parallel. It’s a very different way of thinking that is foreign to most software developers. I like FPGAs, but the year of the FPGA in the broader community is “never”
Phil Eaton@eatonphil
FPGA tool chains have only gotten better and more open and easier to use. Why aren't we seeing more companies trying FPGA projects? Perhaps they are internally. But there's almost never company blogs about even just *trying* to put a workload on FPGAs. I guess it's the cloud that makes us refuse (not saying it's a bad thing) to think about hardware anymore? The only fields in software that experiment with hardware at the startup stage is AI infrastructure companies and quant firms.

@WilliamShatner You, at his side, as if you've always been there and always will.

@mustafasuleyman @Microsoft Mustafa, welcome aboard. Really looking forward to getting to know you and working with you. MSR is ready for a deep and productive partnership with your team. Congratulations on the new role!

I’m excited to announce that today I’m joining @Microsoft as CEO of Microsoft AI. I’ll be leading all consumer AI products and research, including Copilot, Bing and Edge. My friend and longtime collaborator Karén Simonyan will be Chief Scientist, and several of our amazing teammates have chosen to join us.
@InflectionAI will continue on its mission under a new CEO, and look to reach more people than ever by making its API widely available to developers and businesses the world over.
It’s been an amazing journey, with so much more to come. Thank you to everyone for your support. Things really are just getting started.

Hey the new @NVIDIAAI Blackwell FP4 and FP6 support seems to line up with OCP MX Alliance MXFP4 and MXFP6.
