Show HN: I Parallelized RNN Training from O(T) to O(log T) Using CUDA

news.ycombinator.com Dhruv Sheth 2025-09-18 21:47:15

Resource Link Project Repository GitHub For my final project in CS179: GPU Programming, I decided to implement the paper “Were RNNs All We Needed?” by Feng et al. The paper’s core claim is that by making minor simplifications to LSTMs and GRUs, their recurrence can be expressed in a form amenable to the parallel scan algorithm. This changes their training and inference from an $O(T)$ sequential process into an $O(\log T)$ parallel one, which helps with GPU acceleration. My goal was to verify t

Philips announces digital pathology scanner with native DICOM JPEG XL output

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-21 01:00:11

DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is the international standard for medical images and related patient information. Because digital pathology is a relatively new imaging modality compared to radiology and others, there was no established DICOM standard in place. As a result, vendors created their own proprietary formats. Today, Philips announced that it is expanding its SG300 and SG60 scanner offering with the Pathology Scanner SGi with configurable DICOM JPEG and DICOM JPE

A brief history of threads and threading

news.ycombinator.com Bruce S 2025-09-21 02:04:38

The original 128K Mac from 1984 came with a single Motorola 68000 processor running at 8 MHz that could only run one app at a time. Yet today’s Macs come with multiple CPU cores that can comfortably run several substantial apps simultaneously, while running a Time Machine backup and other tasks in the background. This brief history outlines the journey between them. A processor with a single core and no support for multi-tasking runs one sequence of instructions at a time. When those call for a

After Babel Fish: The promise of cheap translations at the speed of the Web

Far from a restrictive act of copying, a translator restores the meaning of a text by means of an elaborate process that requires imagination, ingenuity, and freedom. —Jhumpa Lahiri, “In Praise of Echo” [T]rust is a hard commodity to build, in any interpersonal communication, and all too easy to ruin. No one likes taking another person’s word, and yet in translation, that is literally what the reader is asked to do. —Mark Polizzotti, Sympathy for the Traitor The project of machine translation

Dakota Fanning’s ‘Vicious’ Fatally Flubs a Killer Premise

Polly acquires a mysterious box. In this box, she must put three things: something she hates, something she needs, and something she loves. That’s the basic premise of Vicious, the new film from writer-director Bryan Bertino (The Strangers) starring Dakota Fanning, and it’s incredibly alluring. Instantly, it brings to mind a slew of questions. Where did the box come from? How does it work? What happens if you fail to comply?

Scientists Debate Whether to Halt Type of Research That Could Destroy All Life on Earth

Theoretically, it's a cool idea. But some scientists are worried that these life forms, if they're ever realized, could turn into a major risk for the world around us by turning into an unstoppable force that spreads without limits, overrunning and choking out natural organisms in its path.

OpenAI Tries to Train AI Not to Deceive Users, Realizes It's Instead Teaching It How to Deceive Them While Covering Its Tracks

In reality, the team found, they were unintentionally teaching the AI how to more effectively deceive humans by covering its tracks.
