Why Large Language Models Fail at Tabular Prediction

https://arxiv.org/static/browse/0.3.4/images/arxiv-logo-fb.png
Large language models (LLMs) have become the default tool for a remarkable range of tasks, yet they have had conspicuously little success at one of the most common machine learning workloads: predictive analytics over tabular data. This gap is the founding premise of the fast-growing field of tabular foundation models, but the question of why generic LLMs fail has remained open. We study a ...

An Honest Review of AI Programming

Safe Lock-free Primitives with iceoryx2's ByteAtomic

https://ekxide.io/__og-image__/static/blog/byte-wise-atomic-wrapper-to-prevent-ub/og.png
In multithreaded programming, a common scenario involves multiple threads reading from and modifying shared data concurrently. If this read and write operations are not atomic, a data race occurs. In languages like Rust and C++, which have almost the same memory model, this results in undefined behavior. To prevent this, locks can be used to protect the data from being modified while it is ...

The theory that people oppose development due to ugly buildings is not supported by evidence, as many beautiful developments still face opposition, and the timing of zoning restrictions and modernist architecture does not align. Instead, the rise of conservationism and restrictive zoning is likely due to the growing opposition among people who do not live near developments, who are motivated ...
