One of the most hilarious things you can do with an LLM-based chatbot is to ask it to do calculations. If it’s a well-written ...

Transformations are the key to such codes, and they rely on math that predates computing as we know it by centuries. There are all kinds of neat transformations. My personal favorite is the Fourier ...

Back in 2023, Chris Lattner, creator of LLVM, and his team at Modular unveiled a new language called Mojo. Its syntax resembled Python, but it compiled to machine-native code and offered memory-safety ...

Of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, nine of the top 10 are powered by GPUs, but that might not be the case for much longer. As chipmakers like Nvidia prioritize AI FLOPS over the ...

When Nvidia first showed off its Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) parallel computing platform in 2006, it was a multibillion-dollar bet that failed to turn a profit for a decade. Today, it ...

About a year ago, an AI startup known as Recogni announced a patented number system for AI math, known as Pareto. Pareto is a logarithmic system, meaning that it stores numbers using their logarithmic ...

Lower-precision floating-point arithmetic is becoming more often used in recently growing hardware, moving beyond the usual IEEE 64-bit double-precision and 32-bit single-precision formats. Today, ...

Instead of working directly with floats, multiply your floating-point values by a scaling factor (a power of 10 or 2) and treat them as integers. Approximating floating-point operations with scaled ...

This tweet was trending on Twitter (X), and caught my attention—just one more example of Pythonic gotchas—this time due to its peculiar implementation details. We know floating point math isn't ...

Polk County residents are no stranger to alligators. They seemingly inhabit every water-filled hole. More than 1 million alligators call the state of Florida home, but where do they live? Each year, ...
