- 1System derives FlashAttention kernel from about 25 lines of SQL▼Show HN: Automatic deduction of FlashAttention kernel from ~25 lines of SQL
A developer has showcased a system that can automatically deduce a FlashAttention kernel from roughly 25 lines of SQL, as part of the xarray-sql project on GitHub. The demonstration, posted as a benchmark in the project's machine learning examples, suggests a compiler or query engine can generate optimized attention kernels from declarative code. Interest centers on whether such an approach can genuinely replace hand-tuned GPU kernels.
- 2Idea floated: cryptocurrency using protein folding as proof of work●The person that creates a #crypto currency where the proof of compute is the result of some protein #folding or somethin
A proposal circulating online suggests creating a cryptocurrency whose proof-of-work mechanism is protein folding or similar scientific computation, rather than GPU cycles spent producing only heat. The idea would tie crypto mining to useful research, in contrast to criticism that mined coins are stolen, citing North Korea's alleged crypto thefts to fund nuclear weapons programs.
