Elementary Functions and NOT Following the IEEE 754 Floating-Point Standard — TRYING TO FIND THE OBVIOUS
The IEEE-754 Standard for floating-point numbers was introduced initially in 1985 to solve the problem of diverse floating point implementations prevent code being portable and increase stability across platforms. It has been widely adopted and revised over the last 30 years and if you have dealt

In 1963 Claudia Cardinale starred in Il Gattopardo (The Leopard) and The Pink Panther (La Pantera Rosa). I wonder if she thinks of it as the year of the cat.

Cred raises fresh funds from GIC, others; valuation cut by 45% to $3.5 billion
The fintech major was valued at $6.4 billion in 2022 during its last major fund infusion. The current fund infusion is in the form of primary capital, which means that existing investors have not sold any shares in this round. The drop in valuation was in line with the company's plans to list in India over the next two years, people in the know said.

VerIF: Verification Engineering for Reinforcement Learning in Instruction Following
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has become a key technique for enhancing large language models (LLMs), with verification engineering playing a central role. However, best practices for RL in instruction following remain underexplored. In this work, we explore the verification challenge in RL for instruction following and propose VerIF, a verification method that combines rule-based code verification with LLM-based verification from a large reasoning model (e.g., QwQ-32B). …
