"An H100 GPU can move 3.35TB of RAM per second into its registers, at most. In the same second that the data is moved into the registers, the H100 can multiply 1.98 quadrillion 8-bit floating point numbers." #ChatGPT architecture is mind-boggling newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/scaling-ch...
Scaling ChatGPT: Five Real-World Engineering Challenges
Just one year after its launch, ChatGPT had more than 100M weekly users. In order to meet this explosive demand, the team at OpenAI had to overcome several scaling challenges. An exclusive deepdive.

I enjoyed so much Blue sky paper that it left me wanting more stuff to read. Thank you Santa :)
Jimmy Miller@jimmyhmiller.bsky.social · 2y agoRather than trying to do advent of code, I'm doing advent of papers! jimmyhmiller.github.io/advent-of-pa... Hopefully I can read and share some of weirder computer related papers. First paper is Elephant 2000 by John McCarthy. Did you know he didn't just make lisp? Wonderful paper, worth a read.

Another interesting finding, from the deepdive: “Recruiters are leaning more on pedigree in terms of experience at a high-value brand, well-known schools, and professional background. Candidates are using GenAI to bulk apply, and recruiters are overwhelmed with resumes."
The Pragmatic Engineer.@pragmaticengineer.com · 2y agoToday's deepdive: How GenAI tools are reshaping software engineering recruitment. An interesting find: cover letters are practically dead (90%+ of them are AI-generated, according to hiring managers we spoke to.) More: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/how-genai-...
