Also like a lot of us, the experience left him feeling pretty bad. “I was living on Twitter,” Aster tells WIRED, “and it was really agitating me.” But unlike most people, the director of Hereditary, Midsommar, and Beau is Afraid wasn’t just doomscrolling on Twitter to pass the time.

Multiplatform Matrix Multiplication Kernels

Few algorithmic problems are as central to modern computing as matrix multiplication. It is fundamental to AI, forming the basis of fully connected layers used throughout neural networks. In transformer architectures, most of the computation is spent performing matrix multiplication. And since compute largely determines capability, faster matrix multiplication algorithms directly translate into more powerful models [1 ].

The New ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Betrays Itself From the Very Start

If you make an I Know What You Did Last Summer movie, one thing has to work above all else. Whatever the characters “did last summer” has to be bad enough for someone to plausibly return a year later and try to kill them. It’s one of the things the 1997 original gets right. A group of (mostly) drunk friends drive on a dark road, run into a person, and then, while he may or may not be still alive, throw his body into the ocean.

Constraints keep the integrity of your system and prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot.
