Did we really need another "groundbreaking" #deep #dive into #CUDA kernels? 🤔 It's not like #neural #networks are already drowning in #attention #mechanisms, but sure, let's reverse-engineer #Flash #Attention 4 and act like we've cracked the code to the universe. 🚀🤹‍♂️

We reverse-engineered Flash Attention 4

Asynchrony, fast approximate exponents, and 10x more efficient softmax.

Hackaday: 3D Printed “Book” Demonstrates Mechanical Actions. “A book of mechanical actions is a wondrous thing — mechanically inclined children have lost collective decades pouring over them over the generations. What could possibly be better? Why, if the mechanisms in the book were present, and moved! That’s exactly what [AxelMadeIt] produced for a recent video.”

Hackaday: Learn 15 Print-in-Place Mechanisms In 15 Minutes. “3D printed in-place mechanisms and flexures, such as living hinges, are really neat when you can get them to print correctly. But how do you actually do that? YouTuber [Slant 3D] is here with a helpful video demonstrating the different kinds of springs and hinges (Video, embedded below) that can be printed reliably, and discusses […]

#Phylosymbiosis, the congruence of microbiome composition with host phylogeny, is a valuable framework for investigating #Plant–microbe associations and their #EvolutionaryEcology. This review of Li-Qun Lin et al. discussed the #Prevalence and underlying #Mechanisms of phylosymbiosis in #LandPlants.
