Jim Keller and his pioneering work on chip design and architecture

Re: Jim Keller and his pioneering work on chip design and architecture
#12I recommend Keller's appearances on the Lex Fridman podcast, and also the chat with his (Keller's) brother-in-law Jordan Peterson.
I found that Lex interview enlightening for two reasons. Firstly, Keller is a profoundly talented and interesting guy. And secondly, Lex is a truly painful and incompetent interviewer; virtually every time Lex spoke I begged my screen for him to stay quiet and let Keller speak.
Does anyone have any insight into how hes managed to get such high profile guests?

#13The man is a legend! He made an amazing go work across Apple, AMD and recently at Intel.
He also did amazing work at Intel before AMD iirc. Jim Keller is really up there.

His guests are often so interesting that it's worth persevering through Lex's un-profound musings. (Every time he uses the word 'beautiful' or 'love' it reminds me of a pretentious teenager who lacks life experience)

It's actually impressive Lex is this bad at something he has been doing for so many years.

being into AI at the right time and the MIT affiliation helped.

I had the same feeling with a lot of interviews from the past, but somehow, about a year ago, something changed. Not sure if it was a conscious decision or just the result of so much practice, but for quite something I haven’t screamed at my screen when listening to Lex.

Lex is a fraud and I wouldn't give that man a cent if I could avoid it.

Erm, Itanium never had any kind of market leadership. It was a failure.

#20This sounds like something Elon musk would do to Tesla just to save $8 on parts
> just to save $8 on parts I don't think you understand what $8 per vehicle represents in cost savings. $8 in parts can literally be 10s of million in savings per year. And then you are basically tied to this supplier forever as switching something so fundamental isn't easy. In automotive, using less screws to save 50c on each vehicle is considered a big win.
At this kind of scale, finding a "small" saving may pay for tens of engineer years and justify hiring people just for that. Same thing to optimize cloud costs.
