There is no real way to prevent this, but there are ways to increase the cost of doing so. For example, one level of obfuscation is, OAI could internally run synthesis and adopt a …

The typical way a chip effort in a non-chip company works is that the "design" is the RTL (e.g. SystemVerilog that defines the behavior of the chip) and then this is handed off to …

Yes, my statement was not about the quality or performance of the chip -- simply the tapeout timeline that was stated, by itself.

Chip CEO here. It really depends on what "design" or "production" means. Does "design" mean that the design was complete? Does "production" mean the beginning of production, i.e. t…

Hey, tangentially- I am CEO of Fabric, a company building orders of magnitude faster hardware accelerators for next-gen cryptography on the latest fab technologies. Would love to s…

Founder of AlphaSheets here -- we built this back in 2015 and developed it for 3 years. We built Python, R, SQL and full excel formula/hotkey/format/conditional formatting/ribbon c…

I always wondered what special genius people saw in Girard. The observation that people want what each other want is not new and doesn't require philosophical genius to observe -- …

They started out doing it optically, then moved away from it. I heard about it in 2016, so I know.

The title is wrong about it being an integrated design. Here's an excerpt from the paper abstract: "This paper presents a new type of photonic accelerator based on coherent detecti…

Caveat: the paper mainly focuses on the "standard quantum limit" which is the fundamental photon energy needed for the operations. If other things are taken into account (for examp…

You can go to Groq.com -- that startup claims to have 125fj per flop (and each mac is two flops thanks to marketing logic). Started by 8 out of 10 founding TPU team members.

I don't mean to be too negative here, but this is hardly a new development, so can someone clarify the novelty in this paper? Neural nets have been extensively demonstrated in memr…

Although probably not sufficient for AGI, network architecture is essentially guaranteed to be important, because of both ample empirical evidence of the importance of architecture…

Exactly this. Shameless plug: I am a founder of AlphaSheets, a company working on solving all of these issues. It's quite scary (building a spreadsheet is like boiling an ocean) bu…

Shameless plug: I'm a founder of Alphasheets, a company seeking to solve problems like these! I couldn't resist replying after seeing these comments. We make a collaborative (Googl…

Is this basically Mode for R?
