That’s great new!

The real question is, do current training methods allow one to learn this when training on enough, say, assembly, or can the weights only be achieved via hard-coding?

A fun and important thought experiment about the the space of nerual networks vs the image of current training methods.

Most discourse conflates neural networks and trainable neural networks.

No, I don’t want you to use the computer, I want you to be the whole computer. No mistakes.

Wow! I wonder if it can start programming itself soon.

This is cool but it'd be way more useful if they had made a GPU, seeing as how expensive those have gotten

Uh here the gpu runs the cpu but you want the gpu to run a gpu? Or cpu emulation of Gpu?

there's no free lunch here ever hence the cursed

I dare say that’s the joke.

It could be interesting to experiment with more complex representations in the memory/file system, i.e. vectors. Seems like the full advantage of this architecture is yet to be explored. Blending neurons with deterministic compute to fit on one GPU is a fascination concept, never considered it before!

I 100% see the potential here and am dying to see it in 30 days

Or maybe ill join your discord and hopefully we can riff it out to get there faster

i wonder if you could implement "authenticated token authorship" and self-verified running with this. the model verifies an input as signed by an authorized requester, and signs its own outputs. eventually it also authenticates its own running via e.g. snarks? :) there's lots of meta available with these toys..

This is cool and I understand the RAM emulation with gated attention but how does the CPU emulation wor? You add layers that are then trained to predict outputs while interpreting RISC instructions?

I think they describe the CPU using the weights? I mean in some sense a CPU can be viewed as just a function, right?

At each cycle, a cpu is a simple function from the previous state to the next state.

How much VRAM do I need to run DOOM?
