The Edge of Mathematics

Tao: Today there are a lot of very tedious types of mathematics that we don’t like doing, so we look for clever ways to get ...

Researchers baked 3x inference speedups directly into LLM weights — without speculative decoding

Researchers from the University of Maryland, Lawrence Livermore, Columbia and TogetherAI have developed a training technique that triples LLM inference speed without auxiliary models or infrastructure ...

Professor’s book on Indian politics spurs debate on status of democracy

BENGALURU: While many political science classrooms still rely on textbooks written decades ago, and reward rote learning over reflection, the release of Decodin ...

Decoding RMDs: An Acronym Scarier Than the IRS

Planning for required minimum distributions can be a nightmare, but failure to do so can lead to costly penalties.

XUASTC LDR ‐ Arithmetic Profile

If the first byte is cFullArith (0), the full arithmetic profile is used, and if cHybridArithZstd (1) the hybrid arithmetic+Zstd profile is used. This document covers these two cases, and the other ...
