Investigating Go, Cgo, Metal Shading Language, Metal Performance Shaders, and benchmarking different approaches to matrix multiplicationPhoto by Etienne Martin on UnsplashBelow I’ll describe the process of using cgo to interface between Go and native C, how this can be used to interface with Objective-C bindings for Apple’s Metal Performance Shaders framework, how to interface with custom GPU code (shaders) written in the Metal Shading Language, and finally benchmarking all of that against hand-written and OpenBLAS…

With college bowl season just around the corner, football fans across the nation will be dazzled, not just by the on-field action, but also by the intricate "card stunts" performed by members of the stadium's audience. The highly-coordinated crowd work is capable of producing detailed images that resemble the pixelated images on computer screens — and which are coded in much the same manner.Michael Littman's new book, Code to Joy: Why Everyone Should Learn a Little Programming, is filled with similar examples of how the…

OpenAI announced its new custom chatbot features at its first ever developer conference, OpenAI DevDay, in San Francisco. “You can build a GPT—a customized version of ChatGPT—for almost anything,” Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, said at the event. “Because they combine instructions, expanded knowledge, and actions, they can be more helpful to you.”The company said today that more than 2 million developers and over 92 percent of Fortune 500 companies are using its APIs, which provide access to ChatGPT or the underlying text- and…

This week, OpenAI announced a service that makes it possible for just about anyone to build a custom version of ChatGPT, no coding skills required. The company suggests that users may want to build a bot that knows the rules of all board games, teaches kids about math, or can offer culinary advice. These GPTs, as OpenAI calls them, can also perform simple actions by connecting with internet services, for example searching through emails or ordering products from an online store.You can’t fault OpenAI for trying to build…

Python might be the bread-and-butter coding language for data scientists and ML practitioners, but the benefits of becoming a programming polyglot are as clear as ever. The projects that data teams work on cross platforms and architectures, and being able to switch to less common—but sometimes more efficient—languages can be a powerful advantage.For our highlights this week, we chose recent articles that cover a lot of ground: they focus on a wide range of languages, projects, and workflows. These posts invite you to roll…

Meta’s license for Llama 2 also requires companies with more than 700 million monthly active users to establish a separate license agreement with Meta. It is not clear why, but the clause creates a barrier to other tech giants building on the system. The model also comes with an acceptable use policy, which prohibits generating malicious code, promoting violence, or enabling criminal activity, abuse, or harassment. Meta did not respond to a question about what actions it might take if Llama 2 was used in breach of that…

For all those who want a techie job, here is a programming language they should learn to get their dream job and high pay. Python is a widely-used computer programming language. It is used in various domains such as web development, software creation, task automation, and data analysis. It is capable of addressing diverse programming needs without being limited to specific problem domains. Because of its user-friendly nature, Python has emerged as one of the most widely utilized programming languages in modern…

Some of that falls on the manager, who may or may not give clear instructions. But an equal amount of that challenge falls on the direct reports who misinterpret instructions, passive-aggressively follow directions to the letter (this was my karma payback, because I did this to my bosses), or simply need to be negotiated with to do what needs doing.Also: How to use ChatGPT to write codeIt's part of why I like programming so much. With programming, the computer will also do exactly what you tell it to do. Exactly. Of…
