Intel really missed out, when they discontinued the Optane line, right before the RAMpocalypse.
Wasn’t quite right before, but Optane was sold off, so it’s sad the buyer just sat on the IP. Also the selling point was latency, but I suspect we’ll see bandwidth being the important metric with AI using deep pipelines to stream in the weights in a latency insensitive manner.

#22I have fond memories of Flash 5 in early 2000s. At the time I knew BASIC and Pascal. I could figure out how to draw things, how to animate them using keyframes and motion tweening, and how to make things interactive with ActionScript, all by poking around and reading the help manual (F1) on our underpowered offline PC.
