Just finished the first 72 minute Minsky interview here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrmnH0xkzQ8 . It was lovely to listen to. Only a couple multi-agent threads came out, but yea, they were highly visible clarion calls.

I don't have a ton of local knowledge of what is happening or the situation. But the power grab here is immense, and I cannot imagine how any company, regardless of budget, could hope to live up to these mandates, even if the oversight

Interesting idea! It's a pity the 1440p monitor is garbage (250 nits is so not ok). Ideally we could hype it up & make it awesome. Plug in the main monitor and there's a DisplayPort MST hub embedded in, which shows the 1200p e

But most people are also enwrapped in fantasies & dreams & ideas of where they are going. What's happening to them famously doesn't incurse upon our dream-selves, is my view. We stick to our dream-selves & our quests,

Is there anything else anywhere that points to this strong bias you have? I have seen one other person bother to comment, in a slightly more sly negative way, counting how many '&'s I used. I obviously dont seem to share the s

I really wouldn't mind buying special purpose hardware. In fact, I think I prefer it. The whole story here is that modern SSD controllers tend to embed a bunch of very fast very expensive data-processing cores to quickly do a ton of fa

Title is kind of difficult, but the advice is good. And it's generally what everyone should try to be doing, not just team leads: provide references, links, support. Build an open society, with sources, as you go. Make lots of links.

You can run Chrome, which has a virtual machine in it. Maybe not the same kind of virtual machine that you're talking about, but this is the kind of virtual machine that Apple has banned: any kind of code that isn't statically com

Minor detail, Intel sold their SSD business to SK Hynix for $7b. SK Hynix created a new company Solidigm out of the acquisition. So it is now a Solidigm 670p. https://www.solidigm.com/products/client/d6/670p.h

Thanks & apologies. I was trying to respect the desire to leave it as an Ask HN, but where we are now seems like a better fit & you're of course right on the FAQ. Thanks again.

I wasn't really talking about SMR though, just some protocols they had that are now being re-used. I'm talking about Zoned Namespace SSDs (ZNS). Let's go back in time almost a decade. A bunch of smart people had figured out t

It's weird to me that there's so many promising reliefs that seem near at hand, but which have simply never been delivered. Zoned Storage has existed for a while, for Shingled Magnetic Recording & tape, and there was much hubb

This is amazing . So fun to read. A "Snitch" cluster is 8+1 single-stage small integer cpus +1 DMA core. Cores each have their own "decoupled heavily pipelined" FPU. The cluster shares a L1 I-cache, has 32 banks of 4kB

There's a number of interesting video games which only had limited rights to the soundtrack they used, and thus went out of print. Blur (2010) was a great adult-mario-kart racing video game, for example, with a great sound track, but

I get your defensiveness & you are not wrong, but a good number of the people buying flagship consumer GPUs are doing so as prosumer ML hackers. It seems semi likely we'll see multi-GPU again on real consumer, in the next 10 years.

ML folks definitely load their systems up with GPUs. Having gobs of slots makes complete sense. It's not SLI, that doesn't seem to be happening at the moment, but scaling out pretty great! But all the companies making PCIe switche
