Is it really the full pipeline running on Huawei hardware? That is training and inference?

The report only talks about validating the "fine-grained EP scheme" on Huawei hardware.

I don't think memory mirring features available today allow you to race two DRAM accesses and use the result that returns earlier?

If there's anywhere I don't want LLM slop it's probably my database system.

Shouldn't your snippet be using lzcnt? I can't see how this would result in the desired lookup.

for Zen5 rustc creates the following:

  utf8_sequence_length_lookup:
    shl edi, 24
    mov ecx, 274945
    not edi
    lzcnt eax, edi
    shl al, 2
    shrx rax, rcx, rax
    and al, 7
    ret

What's the API here for Google Ads? How does their site report to Google Ads whether that was a good/bad user? Is this done through conversion tracking? If so, why would you track anything but a completed purchase in the first place?

As I understand it they are placing ads on other sites and are paying for visits to their site.

  After we implemented advanced bot traffic detection and filtering, their reported traffic plummeted by 71%. [...]
  But then the sales report came in. Their actual sales went up by 34%.
  Their real conversion rate optimization (CRO) efforts had been working all along, but the results were buried under an avalanche of fake clicks. They were not bad at marketing; they were just spending thousands of dollars advertising to robots programmed never to buy anything. Their marketing ROI went from "terrible" to "excellent" overnight.
I don't understand how detecting bot traffic would directly lead to less ad spend.

Can you just tell e.g. Google Ads that you don't want to pay for certain clicks?

Did they modify their targeting to try to avoid bots?

The author admits to it.

The reply to that comment is also a good explainer of why the post has such a strong LLM smell for many.
