Today was update day1. Then the expected unexpected happened: The ZFS module was missing from initramfs. Desktop’s dead in the water. I boot up my laptop to quickly flash an Arch live ISO onto a USB drive, and while at it also upgrade that one. Knowing that what went wrong on my desktop would likely…
This is the repo for the Code Alpaca project, which aims to build and share an instruction-following LLaMA model for code generation. This repo is fully based on Stanford Alpaca ,and only changes the data used for training. Training approach is the same. The repo contains: The 20K data used for fine-tuning the model The…
New: Demonstrating Indirect Injection attacks on Bing Chat Getting more than what you’ve asked for: The Next Stage of Prompt Hacking “… a language model is a Turing-complete weird machine running programs written in natural language; when you do retrieval, you are not ‘plugging updated facts into your AI’, you are actually downloading random new…
Buddy – a fun open source cmd+b interface to OpenAI’s API. We got tired of searching both the chat and playground tabs of OpenAI every time we had a question, and quite annoyed when the free research preview did not work for a day. We searched for a simple interface to the chat API and…
To learn how optimizing compilers are made, I built one targeting the 6502 architecture. In a bizarre twist, my compiler generates faster code than GCC, LLVM, and every other compiler I compared it to. I reckon my compiler isn’t doing more when it comes to high-level optimizations, so the gains must be from the code…
SYD → ZQN It’s been 3 years since I travelled to the South Island of New Zealand. A lot has changed since the last time I came to this beautiful place. The last time I was here, the global pandemic didn’t happen, the recession was just a rumour, I didn’t know how to drive a…

But the new law has also attracted an armada of lobbyists repping a wide range of industries. Some may be making long-shot bids — lobbyists for Snap, for example, plan to ask Washington to subsidize plans to build chips for its augmented reality glasses. And filing a lobbying disclosure doesn’t necessarily mean a company will…

I was just looking over SIMD FFT code I wrote in 2015 for Bink Audio and Miles Sound System to replace the old, all-scalar implementation we had been using since (presumably) the late 90s. That in turn reminded me of writing that code originally, reading a lot of papers on the subject, and how I…
