Making AI Code Smarter in Any Language
A new method helps large language models produce accurate, structured code across programming languages. Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used by programmers to generate code faster. But this only helps if the generated code actually works—meaning it must follow the rules of the programming language and be error-free. While some existing methods try to…
Reproducing Word2Vec with JAX
The word2vec model, introduced by Google researchers in 2013, revolutionized how we represent language using dense vector embeddings. This post revisits the Continuous Bag of Words (CBOW) architecture of word2vec, implementing it in JAX and comparing it to the original C version. Understanding Embeddings In NLP, word embeddings are dense vectors that encode the semantic…
Python’s Benchmarking via timeit
Python’s timeit module can be used both from the CLI and programmatically: Command-line: bash $ python3 -m timeit -s “import dot; a = [1]*1000000; b = [2]*1000000” “dot.dotProductLoop(a, b)” Pros: Cons: Programmatic: python import timeita = [1] * 1000000b = [2] * 1000000N = 10time = timeit.timeit(“dot.dotProductLoop(a, b)”, globals=globals(), number=N)print(time / N) Can use autorange():…
Acronis True Image: The Hidden Performance Drain You Didn’t Expect
Over two years ago, I installed Acronis True Image for Crucial to migrate my data to a new SSD. The software worked as intended—and like many users, I left it installed afterward, thinking: what harm could it possibly cause? Turns out, quite a bit. A Mysterious Slowdown Recently, I noticed a strange issue: every time…
