@kaustubhasutra @elonmusk @SawyerMerritt @ID_AA_Carmack The fact I had to scroll this far for this comment is wild. Musk is truly not a smart person.

It would be Linear Access Memory. And since light can't be rewound (like tape), the signal would have to propagate the entire length of the loop for re-access. Then, you'd have to build a local index which has pointers to all 'segments' of the loop to be able to integrate fragments. Multiple loops could be used to improve bandwidth (parallel access of serial loops).

256 Tb/s data rates over 200 km distance have been demonstrated on single mode fiber optic, which works out to 32 GB of data in flight, “stored” in the fiber, with 32 TB/s bandwidth. Neural network inference and training can have deterministic weight reference patterns, so it is amusing to consider a system with no DRAM, and weights continuously streamed into an L2 cache by a recycling fiber loop. The modern equivalent of the ancient mercury echo tube memories. You would need to pipeline a bunch of them to implement modern trillion parameter models, but fiber transmission may have a better growth trajectory than DRAM does today, so it might someday become viable. Much more practically, you should be able to gang cheap flash memory together to provide almost any read bandwidth you require, as long as it is done a page at a time and pipelined well ahead. That should be viable for inference serving today if flash and accelerator vendors could agree on a high speed interface.

@thedarkknight_u @screentime @TheInSneider Barbie and Oppenheimer had very different audience. Hopefully this isn't too on the nose, but Oppenheimer, due to the nature of the story itself was a story for old white men. Barbie was a story for women. The fact it made them both more popular was because of their disparate fan

@screentime @TheInSneider Why? The clash would actually benefit both films as a double-feature, just like Barbenheimer did

The release date for ‘DUNE 3’ is reportedly expected to move up a month or two to October or November 2026 The movie is currently expected to release December 18, 2026—the same day as ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’ (via: @TheInSneider)

@Timcast @grok is this true

This is what violence rates look like depending on Political party How fucking weird am I rite? When you get rid of fringe wackos and count crime by party control it looks a lot different

@MarkReid42 NATO

So let me get this straight. Carney severs all ties with the USA. Canada has 63000 troops that have to borrow gear from the USA in most events. The USA protected Canada because we are their neighbors. So basically, we are now defenseless. But we have tampons in mens bathrooms! Ripe for the picking!

@markgoldbridge The fact we have a mid week makeup game doesn't help. Players need a rest. Easy for us to say from the sofa we should go full strength every game.

Liverpool treble hopes over! Not sure they were taken them that seriously with that lineup though..so many sides again not putting strong teams out is an issue for worlds oldest trophy

@TerriKarelle Only the refs can stop Liverpool this year

I am a Chelsea fan and grossly outnumbered in my household by Liverpool fans. I had to sit in silence when Van Dyke scored that goal only to erupt when it was called a NO GOAL My heart!

@michaelgeller You are so deluded if you don't think you are a Nimby. This is textbook NIMBY...

How would you feel if this was proposed on your duplex lined street? Precisely. Which is why I opposed aspects of the Broadway Plan. My friends on West 14th aren't NIMBYs but don't want this next door, so I am motivated to start the battle all over again. shapeyourcity.ca/2156-2172-w-14…

@dorianbanks @iamkennethchan Isn't the point to replace the concrete? Can you show your work on how the steel is unnecessary?

@iamkennethchan Yet still with so much unnecessary steel. 🙄

Vancouver City Council has approved a 25-storey mass timber tower with 210 purpose-built rental homes. The latest phase of the Main Alley tech campus on Main Street. Near two future #SkyTrain stations. #TOD #vanpoli #vanre dailyhive.com/vancouver/2015…

@azzecca Set times for tonight? When do you go on?

@RockRt66 @WallStreetSilv Seriously

@WallStreetSilv Problem is only 3 days a week

This is raw and real, it's the middle class that's getting hit hard. This lady makes $34/hr and can't even survive in Canada ... 🚨🚨🚨 🔊

@VogueTheatre are there set times published for Hot Chip today?

@shambhala_mf Honestly, a bit weak.

Presenting the #Shambhala2023 Lineup 🌈 Who are you most excited to see perform this summer in Salmo, BC? 💫 100+ more artists still to come Get your ticket HOME Tickets are 90% sold out, so don't wait 💫 tickets.shambhalamusicfestival.com

@Presstitute84 @AstroThayne @jordanbpeterson @Forbes Bad analogy. It doesn't compare well, but let me try. Doing your own research would be similar to listening to your neighbour say you can't trust anything from the asian market, so only buy Chrysler cars when Car and Driver says the Civic is the most reliable.

@AstroThayne @jordanbpeterson @Forbes Do you let your car salesman tell you what to buy?

Translation: You're too dumb to think: let those we have deemed experts do it for you: @forbes forbes.com/sites/startswi…

@SamPoirier9 Just found your company and was so excited to see you have set up shop in my hometown, Hanwell NB. I'll be trying to convince my partner to place a pre order tonight! Keep up the good work at @PotentialMotors

@shambhala_mf Please bring Fred Again..

After much anticipation from the Farmily, the debut of trap and bass extraordinaire RL Grime is finally happening this July 💥 We’re on the final ticket tier for Shambhala 2023, so don’t wait 👉 tickets.shambhalamusicfestival.com 💫 What stage do you think RL Grime will be gracing? ⚡️

@lexfridman I have read all of these except Man's Search for Meaning but it's now on my list. I might do some re-reads with you if there is a book club.

I'm reading a book a week in 2023. Classics, sci-fi, nonfiction, or anything people highly recommend. I'll keep adjusting the list. Start on Monday, done by Sunday. Might make lowkey videos of takeaways. If you want to read along, the current list is here: lexfridman.com/reading-list

@TCBullfrog @MattBinder Then Aliens

@MattBinder You could probably argue the point by saying that Alien is a horror film, not an action film But overall it's absolutely a wrong quote (Tomb Raider easily predates it, probably others)

@RomainMacre @MattBinder Terminator 2 - 1991 Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - 2001 Resident Evil - 2002 Underworld - 2003 Kill Bill - 2003 Sure they are fewer than man action movies but there are also less lesbian rom coms with funny straight male best friends.

@MattBinder In a way Alien being from 1979 it's like saying she's wrong it's been done WAY before, but by the same token it shows that if we have to go back in time so much to find an example, what does it say about it?

@EricRWeinstein This is an inetresting but old concept. I am not sure if this is even the first but it is data mined and searchable here: pretentious-o-meter.co.uk

What is the most extreme example you can find of this phenomenon where “top critics” on ‘Rotten Tomatoes’ adore something absolutely detested by audiences? Challenge: Can you beat the 92% spread here? Can we aggregate the results to learn something about our betters in critique?
