COVID-19: WHY WE SHOULD ALL WEAR MASKS — THERE IS NEW SCIENTIFIC RATIONALE
The official recommendation in the United States (and other Western countries) that the public should not wear face masks was motivated by the need to save respirator masks for health care workers. There is no scientific support for the statement that masks worn by non-professionals are “not effective”. In contrary, in view of the stated goal to “flatten the curve”, any additional, however partial
by Team PyTorch This post is the second part of a multi-series blog focused on how to accelerate generative AI models with pure, native PyTorch. We are excited to share a breadth of newly released PyTorch performance features alongside practical examples to see how far we can push PyTorch native performance. In part one, we showed how to accelerate Segment Anything over 8x using only pure, native
It is December. That means annoying Christmas things are everywhere, including but not limited to the annual programming semi-competition known as Advent of Code. The problem with Advent of Code is that it is a waste of time. Most of the puzzles are in the realm of either string processing (somewhat applicable to programming), logic puzzles (not really applicable to most programming), or stupid go
Welcome to the first quarterly issue of the natural language processing (NLP) Research Highlights series. The goal is to provide you with a summary and a closer look at a collection of interesting NLP research papers and topics that we recently came across. We aim to distill the important parts of each paper and to make these works more approachable to the reader. This series will also allow us to
Buck2, our new open source, large-scale build system, is now available on GitHub. Buck2 is an extensible and performant build system written in Rust and designed to make your build experience faster and more efficient. In our internal tests at Meta, we observed that Buck2 completed builds 2x as fast as Buck1. Buck2, Meta’s open source large-scale build system, is now publicly available via the Buc
July 20, 2023 by Anders Hejlsberg, Steve Lucco, Daniel Rosenwasser, Pierce Boggan, Umesh Madan, Mike Hopcroft, and Gayathri Chandrasekaran In the last few months, we've seen a rush of excitement around the newest wave of large language models. While chat assistants have been the most direct application, there's a big question around how to best integrate these models into existing app interfaces.

Building data-centric apps with a reactive relational database
Building apps is too hard. Even skilled programmers who don’t specialize in app development struggle to build simple interactive tools. We think that a lot of what makes app development hard is managing state: reacting and propagating changes as the user takes actions. We’re exploring a new way to manage data in apps by storing all app state—including the state of the UI—in a single reactive datab

Why the developers who use Rust love it so much - Stack Overflow
The 2020 Developer Survey results are in, and once again, Rust is the number one most loved language among the 65,000 programmers who participated. Rust has taken the number one spot since 2016, showing that it’s got something that the developers who use it love. 86.1% of those survey respondents who said they currently use Rust want to continue using it next year. This is the fifth year in a row

Blog? Why do people use words containing 'log' so often? The initial title for this article was "Why the Apache model sucks".

I have written about Apache in the past past and the present post is a rehash with a slightly different emphasi
先読みを用いたLLMの文章生成の高速化 - NTT Communications Engineers' Blog
