LLMs in Space: Hardening llm.c to NASA Safety Standards

Clearly LLMs must one day run in Space Step 1 we harden llm.c to pass the NASA code standards and style guides, certifying that the code is super safe, safe enough to run in Space. https://

Code Simplicity vs Compression: The LOC Paradox

— Andrej Karpathy (@karpathy) 25 avril 2024
I think the LOC requirements (which are only a proxy for simplicity) led to too great compression. You wouldn't brag about your .min.js code being 1 LOC. Imo it would be a lot more simple if the code was given room to breathe and… pic.twitter.com/K4krMQdRkU[gif] me trying to read tinygrad code earlier 😀 I think the LOC requirements (which are only a proxy for simplicity) led to too great compression.

Mastering AI coding assistance through practice and proper prompting

I've also gotten really good at it. I think people who dislike it must have given up too early. You have to learn what to expect, what works, what doesn't work, how to position your cursor (e.g. to not get distracting suggestions), and how to prompt it well via code/comments

Surprising because this is showing an open weights 70B model at GPT-4 level (for any prompt I may wish to ask)

Memory optimization strategies for model training

didn't realize it was that easy, will take a look at; you can also try decreasing the batch size all the way down to 1, or then also decreasing sequence length until it fits, but you're compromising on max context length that way.

The Three Essential Elements of High-Quality Datasets
By

The 3 key elements of a good dataset: 1. quality
2. diversity
3. quantity You can only easily measure the last one but the performance is a sensitive function of all three. Super interesting topic ty for #longread :)! -
LLMs as Arrays: Meditation on Entropy and Truth
By
–
As I emerged from meditation it dawned on me that LLMs are just one array of floats and a while loop over some super simple arithmetic on its elements. It is entropy that is the root of suffering. It's by deleting the superfluous that we uncover truth. And thus I was enlightened.
