Each byte is converted to a three letter syllable, from a hand-written LUT optimized for pronounceability, & different LUTs for even and odd bytes.

the implementations have a distinctly "I wrote this at a 3 AM hackathon" vibe

The LLM handles the natural language interaction and orchestration, while the computer algebra system does what it does best ... exact symbolic manipulation.

this smells like claude :D

they come out thursday nights (in the US) - 9pm EST

Wow, incredible. I told myself I’d stop waffling and just buy the next 800gb/s mini or studio to come out, so I guess I’m getting this.

Not sure how much storage to get. I was floating the idea of getting less storage, and hooking it up to a TB5 NAS array of 2.5” SSDs, 10-20tb for models + datasets + my media library would be nice. Any recommendations for the best enclosure for that?

there are a lot of interesting people on twitter

IIRC when I played KSP it was necessary to point slightly down if you wanted to reach orbit in a continuous burn, rather than waiting to burn more at perigee. Is that true in general?

(was playing with a mod that models ullage, so relighting was quite finicky)

For C++, `bit_cast<uint32_t>(0.f)` should be Well Defined, right? I'm curious, in C, is union-casting float->uint32_t also Perfectly Legal And Well Defined?

(I am not a C or C++ expert.)

Funny that when I reached the "Key Findings" section, my brain immediately parsed it as ChatGPT output. Maybe it's the bullet points, the word choice, or just the font...

Note that the FFT has this property of “convolution is pointwise multiplication” for any cyclic multiplicative group, see https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002200007... for a more algebraic derivation.

Some call this a “harmonic” fft, and there are also non-harmonic FFTs:

- the “additive NTT” of [LCH14] on GF(2^n)

- the circle fft on the unit circle X^2+Y^2=1 of a finite field [HLP24]

- the ecfft on a sequence of elliptic curve isogenies [BCKL21]

[LCH14]: https://arxiv.org/abs/1404.3458

[HLP24]: https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/278

There’s a nice writeup on group hashes here: https://cronokirby.com/posts/2021/07/on_multi_set_hashing/

In particular, if you choose a group where discrete log is hard (such as prime order elliptic curves), multiset hashing falls out for free

With high enough accelerometer accuracy, you need to start adjusting your subtracted gravity vector with maps, right?

Very cool! I assume it uses WebCodec VideoEncoder to encode in browser, maybe with a wasm ffmpeg fallback? How reliable/easy to use have you found that?

ZKML is actually not horrible, probably only 100-1000x overhead atm. Unfortunately it doesn’t solve the problem, you would need FHE which has much higher overhead

Got in late, seems like I can't rewind on this stream??
