Can we not do growth hacking here?

We totally agree.

That's what I've been heads down, HUNGRY, working on, looking for investors and founding engineers pst: https://heymanniceidea.com (disclaimer: I am not associated with heymanniceidea.com)


HN is owned by a startup accelerator and venture capital firm. They do growth hacking on the front page. And you probably know that since your throwaway account is several years old.

Truly an epic company.

Theyre killing it!

Yeah, skills to make them a cool 10mn a year

How is text to image even scored? Seems like a subjective measurement..

Users get two completions for their prompt and rank them. From this you can then use Bradley-Terry to get Elo scores per model.

LM Arena is a particularly bad comparison site too. Prompts that they use are usually incredibly generic like "A digital render of a sleek, futuristic motorcycle racing through a neon-lit cityscape."

I actually built GenAI Showdown a while back because I was deeply unsatisfied with LM Arena and other purported comparison tables which either (A) relied solely on visual fidelity (which is a far less interesting benchmark than adherence, IMHO) and/or (B) relied on extremely simplistic and banal prompts.


How does this compare to ELIZA?

ELIZA is better, because this doesn't seem to generate anything coherent. You can try the original ELIZA with DOCTOR script here: https://anthay.github.io/eliza.html

Jopsph Weizenbaum's ELIZA was rule-based and ran on even slower (1960s) hardware, but because it relied on simple pattern matching instead of neural nets, it would easily have been more responsive (the Emacs editor/operating system has an implementation included, start it with: M-x doctor RETURN).

ELIZA was not written in assembler, but (different versions) in COMIT, FORTRAN and LISP.

Does Apple GPU support any of these natively?

Or does that matter - its the kernel that handles the FP format?


There's a lot of people here with esoteric knowledge of lasers, because they're generally incredible devices (along with masers). Someone should be able to comment.

I wish we had a large laser manufacturing ability in the West. I would say 95% of lasers of all kinds are manufactured in China.


Could Claude make this?

Claude Shannon? Probably.

Who wrote it? Someone at Red Hat likely.

The CORE-MATH project authors, most of whom are French academics (including the author of the linked paper).

I don’t know of any interesting work in this space that came out of Red Hat, why do you suggest them?


GNU libc


As the paper mentions, this particular routine was the work of Alexei Sibidanov, though Zimmermann seems to have been maintaining it since it was contributed. (Sibidanov doesn't work for Red Hat either, though.)
