Red generates addresses. Orange emits binary digits of the address, yellow converts that to a 1-hot encoding with a swap network. Green disables the write bit for all but the chosen address, then dispatches the read/write to each register and swaps the chosen one to the out pin (purple)

at some point someone is going to make a vector native programming language, then quickly a vector native OS, and im curious if people will still feel the same way about language when the models speak solely in numbers and you must employ a text encoding layer acting as an oracle
Brown University's SwarmEvolve runs 450 AI agents that reason without generating text and share ideas through KV-caches, exploring 5-13x more programs per hour and matching competing systems' hour-long results in just 3-8 minutes.

NVIDIA's SEED method streamlines hybrid language model inference, achieving up to 1.4x throughput gains while maintaining performance. By leveraging shallow encoding for deep memory access, it reduces computational and memory demands, pushing efficiency in LLMs. https://arxiv.org/abs/2611.06084

Huggingface uses a really dumb fucking way of encoding arbitrary bytes in python `str`-s by encoding them as the codepoints 256 + . So "Ġ", is \u288 = 256 + 32, or an ascii space (SPC). Your string above is a long string of spaces. Details at: ai.stackexchange.com/a/48243
