- page_title: End‑to‑End 4‑Bit Training - Thinking Machines Lab
- page_description: Training large language models involves calculating and storing a lot of numbers. Using fewer bits for each value reduces memory usage and allows GPUs to perform calculations faster. However, there is a tradeoff: fewer bits also mean fewer representable numbers, leading to more aggressive rounding. Lower-precision representations ultimately hurt accuracy by adding error to the calculations.
For example, suppose we want to store the number 3.2, but the nearest values our numerical format can represent are 3 and 4. Rounding to 3 introduces a quantization error of −0.2-0.2−0.2, the difference between the actual value and the one that can be represented in the quantized format. A single error like this may seem small, but these errors accumulate over training as rounding happens repeatedly across layers and optimization steps, which can impair the learning process.

The C question is different, because Zig and C want the same things. Both are small languages without a Garbage Collector and both stay close to what the machine does. So this post is not about leaving C for something completely different. It is about the parts of C that cost me time and how Zig deals with them. All the code was compiled on a Mac with Zig 0.17 and clang.

- page_description: I like to travel with my Nintendo Switch 2. Every time I pack it up, I run into the same problem: the official dock is bulky and feels fragile. Therefore I never travel with it. It bothers me, because the dock uses USB-C DisplayPort Alt mode, and I already have a USB-C hub that supports it and works perfectly fine with all my other devices. Unfortunately, Nintendo went in a proprietary direction (as they so often do), so a regular generic hub will not work as a dock.

- page_title: Words of warning about radiocarbon dating medieval human bones | npj Heritage Science
- page_description: Radiocarbon dating of human bones can be problematic due to the reservoir effect, occurring in samples with an aquatic food component. This is often the case for medieval monastic human bones. Here we analysed bone material from 27 Danish monastic burials showing elevated contents of the isotope 15N, indicating freshwater fish consumption. This potentially leads to radiocarbon ages appearing anomalously old - sometimes even predating the erection of the convent.

Whatever cheat codes the developer intentionally (or unintentionally) wrote in 2003 is still the exact code running today. That makes an in-game cheat code about as close to a real-world crackme as you can get: there is a validator, there is an input surface on dedicated homogenous hardware, and somewhere in the ROM is the set of inputs it accepts.

- page_title: Law School Mourns the Passing of Richard A. Posner, Senior Lecturer, Law and Economics Pioneer, and Former Federal Appellate Judge | University of Chicago Law School
- page_description: Senior Lecturer Richard Allen Posner, a longtime University of Chicago Law School scholar, former federal appellate judge, and pioneer in the field of law and economics, died on November 10. He was 87. Posner, who joined the Law School faculty in 1969 and spent 36 years as a judge on the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, is widely considered to be the most influential legal scholar of all time and, during his time on the bench, was considered to be among the most powerful jurists outside the Supreme Court. He authored thousands of court opinions, hundreds of academic articles, and dozens of books, and was a leading scholar of law and economics, a field born and developed at the University of Chicago beginning in the early 20th century. The Law School’s eminence in the field—which brings the tools of economic theory to bear on legal rules and institutions, offering the potential to improve policymaking, market efficiency, and even judicial decision making—is what drew Posner to Chicago. He quickly became a top figure, provoking debate with views about the efficiency of common law and, in 1973, authoring the field’s seminal book The Economic Analysis of Law, which is now in its ninth edition. “There has never been a legal scholar quite as prolific, influential, and endlessly curious as Dick Posner—he was a giant whose influence on our legal system, the field of law and economics, and on our law school cannot be overstated,” said Law School Dean Adam Chilton, the Howard G. Krane Professor of Law. “As a law and economics scholar and torts professor, I doubt there has been a week that’s gone by since I started teaching at the Law School where I haven’t talked about one of Dick’s ideas or opinions. We will mourn his loss deeply, and on behalf of the entire Law School community, I extend our deepest condolences to his family.”In 1978, Posner was named the University of Chicago’s Lee and Brena Freeman Professor of Law, a title he held until 1981, when he was appointed by President Ronald Reagan to the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. He was the chief judge of the court from 1993 to 2000 and retired from the bench in 2017 having written some 3,300 opinions on a wide range of issues. As a judge, Posner was known as a tough and often unrelenting questioner and a staunch advocate for legal pragmatism. He disdained jargon-filled opinions. Editor’s Note: Please check back soon. In the coming days, we will be posting a longer tribute to Judge Posner’s extraordinary life and career, including remembrances from his colleagues.

- page_title: Deuterium&#039;s Impact on OLED Displays | OLED-Info
- page_description: This is a sponsored post by ClearsynthIn the ever-evolving field of display technology, OLED displays have emerged as a prominent player due to their ability to deliver stunning visuals, energy efficiency, and flexibility.One key component that has contributed to the success of OLED displays is deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen. Deuterium&#039;s impact on OLED displays can be seen in its potential to magnify these devices&#039; overall performance and lifespan.Deuterium (2H, D): Discovered in 1931 by H. Urey, who won the Nobel Prize in 1934 and named it Deuterium.Stable, nonradioactive isotope of hydrogen with one proton and one neutron in its nucleusNatural abundance of 0.015% of hydrogen atoms on Earth Deuterium, a heavier isotope than hydrogen, offers several advantages in OLED displays. First and foremost, deuterium is known to increase the brightness and efficiency of OLED displays. TV Panel manufacturers use OLED materials to generate the 3 primary colours (red, green, blue) in full-colour display. They had a challenge of large electronic power consumption for blue OLED relative to green and red OLEDs. This has been successfully overcome by deuterated blue OLED emitters which provide higher stability and prolonged lifetime, resulting in greater brightness and efficiency. By incorporating deuterium into the structure of OLED materials, researchers have observed a noticeable improvement in the power conversion efficiency of the displays. Deuterated benzyl moieties & heterocyclic compounds in OLED devices have demonstrated a higher power conversion efficiency compared to their protonated counterparts. This improvement in efficiency is linked to the longer excited state lifetime of organic molecules induced by deuterium, which leads to a reduction in nonradiative decay rates. This positive outcome with deuterated blue OLED has resulted in adoption of deuterated OLED compounds to red, green & yellow emitters and other layers in the OLED stack.
