Day 73/365 of GPU Programming Wanted to understand FP4 better and came across this great @Cohere_Labs talk on Training LLMs with MXFP4 and @juliarturc's amazing series on quantization So fascinating learning what makes low precision work for LLM training and inference

Si j’étais ministre de l’Éducation : ❌ matrices ❌ i² = −1 ❌ 80% des maths abstraites ✅ automatisation (n8n) ✅ logique algorithmique ✅ robotique / code On nous bourre le crâne de trucs inutiles alors que savoir automatiser, penser en système et coder, c’est 100x plus utile IRL… la gymnastique intellectuelle peux être appris sur des choses plus utiles et moins abstraites… je m’amusais à faire du scratch.mit au collège sur mon temps libre … ça devrait être un must have





I realized something else AI has changed about coding: you don't get stuck anymore. Programming used to be punctuated by episodes of extreme frustration, when a tricky bug ground things to a halt. That doesn't happen anymore.







Yeah, so basically it turns out Meta has been heavily lobbying online age verification laws. They've lobbied over $2,000,000,000 to politicians in form of grants and donations. x.com/bee_fumo/statu…

this is good advice btw, if you wanna deeply learn kernel optimization on nvidia GPUs just naturally follow the arch progression
