Complex Iterators Are Slow

Complex Iterators are Slow Thursday, 31 July 2025 Timi, my pure JavaScript B-Tree, achieves best in class iteration speed in part because I replaced Iterators with callbacks. They might be convenient, but the design of JavaScript Iterators is inherently slow for complex iteration as it prevents your compiler from inlining code. Inlining is when the call site of a function is replaced with its body to avoid the overhead of a function call. So, this: function add(a, b) { return a + b; } for (

How Attention Sinks Keep Language Models Stable

news.ycombinator.com Guangxuan Xiao 2026-01-03 16:53:10

We discovered why language models catastrophically fail on long conversations: when old tokens are removed to save memory, models produce complete gibberish. We found models dump massive attention onto the first few tokens as "attention sinks"—places to park unused attention since softmax requires weights to sum to 1. Our solution, StreamingLLM, simply keeps these first 4 tokens permanently while sliding the window for everything else, enabling stable processing of 4 million+ tokens instead of j
