Emerging Platforms Meet Emerging LLMs: A Year-Long Journey of Top-Down Development
Deploying machine learning (ML) on diverse computing platforms is crucial to accelerate and broaden their applications. However, it presents significant software engineering challenges due to the fast evolution of models, especially the recent \llmfull{s} (\llm{s}), and the emergence of new computing platforms. Current ML frameworks are primarily engineered for CPU and CUDA platforms, leaving a big gap in enabling emerging ones like Metal, Vulkan, and WebGPU. While a traditional bottom-up dev…

So the NASA contract for the Spaceship lunar lander requires SpaceX Starship launches SIXTEEN times within a month and a half to put the propellant needed into orbit (and the propellant boils off if it’s done slower).
This means a launch every 3 days (or 6 days with two launch sites).
And the mission is planned for end of 2026.
Lol, yeah, nope.

I can’t believe it’s been 21 years! I bought this book when it was first published. Thank you for your wisdom and guidance, and hats off to you, good sir!

Bloody hell. If this app ever set foot on Aussie shores, you can bet i’d be making an OIAC complaint so fast it isn’t funny.

How Evangelicals Use Digital Surveillance to Target the Unconverted
The hot new thing in proselytizing is an app that allows Christian conservatives to collect data on whole neighborhoods of potential converts.

Despite gentrification, the Mission is still a progressive neighborhood with lots of solidarity for unhoused and other poor folks, but you wouldn't know that from the Inner Mission Neighborhood Association. They're your classic NIMBYs who hate encampments but also hate the tiny cabins site to get people out of encampments. Does it make sense? well no, but they've been too busy putting hostile planters everywhere to think about it much.

48hills on Instagram: "Tuesday the Inner Mission Neighborhood Association held a meeting with Mayor London Breed. Mission residents and advocates weren’t notified until last minute, and even with short notice, they filled the room. If this group doesn’t want homelessness in the Mission, and are opposed to the unhoused receiving services and housing, are there any solutions this group would support? 🎥✍️: Andrew Brobst @bro_bst #News #Politics #SF #SFpolitics #SanFrancisco #BayArea #unhoused #publicgoods #services"

The boosted HP filter is more general than you might think
The global financial crisis and Covid recession have renewed discussion concerning trend-cycle discovery in macroeconomic data, and boosting has recently upgraded the popular HP filter to a modern machine learning device suited to data-rich and rapid computational environments. This paper extends boosting's trend determination capability to higher order integrated processes and time series with roots that are local to unity. The theory is established by understanding the asymptotic effect of bo…

You may not think about #Tim #Dunn.
Indeed, unless you’re a close observer of Texas politics, it’s likely you haven’t heard of him.
But Dunn thinks a lot about you.
For two decades he has been quietly, methodically, and patiently building a political machine that has pushed Texas forcefully to the right, sendi…

The Billionaire Bully Who Wants to Turn Texas Into a Christian Theocracy
The state’s most powerful figure, Tim Dunn, isn’t an elected official. But behind the scenes, the West Texas oilman and lay preacher is lavishly financing what he regards as a holy war against public education, renewable energy, and non-Christians.
