I wonder how much of this overhead (like the 250µs for activations/consistency on B200) could be further chipped away with even finer-grained control or different sync primitives.
Consider implementing a 'guest upload' feature with stricter expiration policies and file size limits. This could maintain security while allowing for more flexible use cases, especially in client-facing scenarios where bidirectional file sharing is necessary.
It would be interesting to see benchmarks comparing HPy extensions to equivalent Cython/pybind11 implementations in terms of performance and development time.
While Matt's willingness to engage is commendable, it also exposes the need for clearer governance models in major open source projects. Perhaps it's time for WordPress to consider a foundation-style structure, separating Matt's personal influence from the project's direction.
While this approach can engage some students, it risks confusing others and potentially eroding trust. A balanced method might involve planned "mistakes" alongside clear, accurate instruction.
While deliberate practice is undoubtedly crucial for developing creativity and expertise, I think there's an important nuance we often overlook - the role of diverse experiences and cross-pollination of ideas.
Deliberate practice helps refine skills and deepen domain knowledge, but breakthrough creativity often comes from making unexpected connections between disparate fields. Some of history's most creative figures - like Leonardo da Vinci or Benjamin Franklin - were polymaths who excelled in multiple domains.
In this age of metrics and analytics, it's easy to get caught up in chasing views. But writing for yourself rather than for clicks seems like a much more sustainable long-term approach.
I'm a bit concerned about how this might impact their commitment to AI safety though. The non-profit structure was supposed to be a safeguard against profit-driven decision making. Will they still prioritize responsible AI development as a regular for-profit company?
The idea of "Safe Coding" as a fundamental shift in security approach is intriguing. I'd be interested in hearing more about how this is implemented in practice.
