I Can Add Up

Not odd no but I didn’t make that point. If somebody hands a description of an algorithm where the component parts are already known tricks there’s no “reverse engineering”. Just following a guide. It’s easy to make code that does that. Any AI can repeat that. What is hard is the integration with llama.cpp, the testing, the enhancements. The stuff not all nicely laid out and that AI doesn’t perform well on. So back to what I said before you tried to twist the words into me saying - i think the hogwash about “reverse engineering” and implying it can be all done with AI as if anybody could do it detracts from what is truly impressive engineering in it. Don’t you? That’s odd.

@ICanAddUp @k1rallik You...don't want to know what tools were used to create it? That's odd.

Solo dev reverse-engineered Google's billion-dollar algorithm in 7 days Google published the paper that crashed memory stocks worldwide. Then shipped zero code. Tom Turney read the math, opened his terminal, and built the whole thing with Claude - then made it faster than Google promised. Day 1-3: Core algorithms, 141 tests, Python prototype Day 3-5: C port into llama.cpp, Metal GPU kernels Day 5-7: Speed optimization from 739 to 2747 tok/s That's a 3.7x speedup through pure engineering: > fp32 → fp16 WHT > half4 vectorized butterfly ops > graph-side rotation > block-32 storage layout Then he added his own research on top: > Sparse V: skip 90% of value decompressions at long context > Asymmetric K/V: keep keys precise, compress values harder > Temporal decay: old tokens get lower precision automatically Result: 35B model running on a MacBook with 4.6x compressed cache. 613 GitHub stars in a week. Google still hasn't released their own code.

@Polymarket That’s quite a gambling addiction it had.

BREAKING: OpenAI's Sora video platform was reportedly losing ~$1,000,000.00 per day before they decided to shut it down.

@forallcurious Surely we would only see the dark side of the banana?

This is what a giant banana would look like in Earth's orbit.

How to show on feeds: companies: joke you stole the kitkats, coz that’s still hilarious when you’re the billionth one people have seen do it. Individuals: rediscover desktop publishing layouts and declare it revolutionary. Add a fast animation in case people can read the text.

@zandpreme @tmuxvim True. Not just this point in time though. If my goldfish could talk and was a little bit of a troll then I imagine this is somewhat like a conversation would go. I shall return my honorary doctorate in gibberish interpretation immediately. I don’t deserve it.

@ICanAddUp @tmuxvim You seem to be struggling to understand what I'm saying even at this point in time

why are people so obsessed with this lol like it's cool tech but almost every demo I see of it is totally impractical. it should just be used for laying out articles in more intersting ways

@brankopetric00 Hate timezone stuff. How did it fire early both times though?

A cron job worked perfectly in dev and staging. In production it fired an hour early twice a year. The server was in UTC. The business logic assumed local time. Daylight saving did the rest. Timezones are not a detail. They are a trap.

@zandpreme @tmuxvim “Again, you still fail to get it” - you’d be reiterating it “again” then but in a form that agrees with the OP. Strange dude. Very strange.

@ICanAddUp @tmuxvim Because you read my first post and weren't able to understand it, so I am reiterating it.

@zandpreme @tmuxvim Why are ‘againing’ me on my first post and giving what the op said as basically your reasoning? Just feeling argumentative?

@ICanAddUp @tmuxvim Again, you still fail to get it. It's not about the text moving as an actual function of the website. It's about doing a fast layout around graphics no matter the size of the device or if the user changes the size of the viewport.

@ryanvogel That must be reassuring for the thieves. I did the rest of the math and they’re only 6500km from safety :)

if you are interested I did the math the kitkat heist was worth around only $320,000 well under the $1.5 million fraud prosecution limit

@NickADobos I’m sure if you were whimsical and artistic and used hieroglyphs then they’d also point out that art and whimsy should help communicate something and not take that away.

Fascinated by the amount of losers responding to pretext demos with: “bUt iTS hArD 2 rEad” Just tell me you hate whimsy and have no appreciation for typography and text layouts as an artistic medium. Text doesn’t have to be read to tell a story.

@DocAtCDI 413,793 tea breaks.

I'm gonna need some help here What does one do with 413,793 Kit Kats?

@InsideLucysHead Theoretically you could.

In Schrodinger's time, was it considered ethical to use live cats in physics experiments? Well... It was, and it wasn't.

Oh, give me a break.

@BobGolen That's a bit catty.

A lion would never drive under the influence, but a Tiger Wood.

@MorningBrew Agreed. Their chances of getting away with it are wafer thin.

Either way, the criminal(s) are going to end up behind bars

@KITKAT Authorities are looking for fat thieves on the world’s longest tea break.

Regarding recent press coverage

@svaneksmith e. Have a break, have 12T of KitKats.

So you've just stolen 12 tons of KitKats. You are going to a. Sell it on the black market for a massive mark-up b. Stash it in the bunker for end of days prep c. Construct a Kit Kat Club out of actual KitKats d. Not sure... Did not fully think this through

The demos show text can flow around stuff (which seems exciting for some, not new in general context for many). But they do so by destroying the primary purpose of text - to be readable to convey the information. Then your example doesn’t work because you still leave the primary purpose of concept cars. Now if you described the concept car as proving a car could take the form of an elephant you are probably somewhat closer. I presume the OP takes the opinion that a demo should show utility rather than a temporary fun effect. Makes sense.

@tmuxvim are you also confused when car companies create concept cars they clearly don't intend to sell to the public? "I don't understand who would buy a six-wheeled sedan..?"

@PauloCe22870148 @RestrictedDaily To be an island nation the nation's territory must be on islands, not solely occupy the territory of a single island. Though we tend to think of it as one for simplicity, Great Britain is also not a single land mass - there are a number of smaller islands.

@RestrictedDaily UK is not an Island. Great Britain is.

Time for Final Jeopardy… where I go from genius to idiot in about 12 seconds.
