@Supermicro Will this run Oregon trail? Will I be able to arrange midi music files?

Supermicro unleashes three new GPU systems powered by AMD Instinct™ MI3xx series GPUs to advance large-scale AI and HPC infrastructure.

@chamath I’ll close our 401ks and send you 840k, if you can “guarantee” just 6%.

Huh? I’d like $5B pls.

@DRBoguslaw @RonWyden Reminds me of Biden, and Kerry’s kids

Pretty gnarly that the Senator (@RonWyden) investigating Epstein's relationships with the biggest banks in the world has a son who asked Esptein for Money....

@Mookafish I wonder what the required maintenance would be, assuming the tracks need to be perfectly straight, practically dust and dirt free, and no pitting of the rails. Isn’t there a lot of tiny objects constantly bombarding the moons surface?.

These mass drivers are going to be very, very long. I've graphed out the required length of a mass driver depending on the acceleration, assuming they will reach lunar escape velocity (~2,400m/s) Even if the mass driver could reach 50m/s^2 of acceleration (~5G), the mass driver would have to be about 58km long.

Would asml license their technology? I’ve worked in fabs for TI, and Intel, using stamping (lead frames) screen print, etching, and the oldest form of litho-as well as wafer coating, breaking, testing, marking, and pick and place chip separation/placing into devices. Even with this background, I watched a few videos of the asml process, and have no idea what’s going on with all the masking/mirrors and coatings. Very complex stuff. That being said, I’m a semi-retired 50 year old in the Austin area, and would volunteer for free, to work on Elon‘s project. America needs to lead in this tech again, and I would love to volunteer my time, limited experience, and labor to help him, and our country succeed.

Given that several companies make advanced chips, but no companies have ever made fully reusable rockets or achieved SpaceX scale, I think Starship is harder, but we shall see. Terafab will technically be two fabs, each making only one chip design. This greatly simplifies process flow and allows more linear, adjacent movement of the FOUP. A super high production rate allows us to test very quickly what steps can be deleted, simplified or sped up, even after the design is fixed. Current fabs are extremely conservative, operating on rigid historical heuristics, which are mostly, but not all, correct. Anything that is a rate limiter at the machine level means that machine will be redesigned, unless already at limit of physics. Having new iterations of a chip design be produced every day in the research fab (with <7 day lag) means being able to try out many high risk, high return ideas. Etc In any event, there is no other way to reach extreme scale, so either we make Terafab or we will be stuck at the ~20% chip/memory output growth per year of the current industry.

Ok. So essentially Terafab is not a plan for a 'standard' semiconductor fab, but includes mask production, test house and packaging under one roof. This alone is a very alien concept. If they only achieve this alone, not even considering reaching the crazy output numbers, they're already in unicorn territory. All the plans on top what they actually are willing to do with the silicon are essentially Dyson Sphere Program in real life. There is no other way to put this. In this very case, as this directly affects an industry I happen to work in: I assign a major probability to this either failing or delaying much beyond the intended timeline. Sure you can buy equipment and hire experienced people, but semiconductor manufacturing in advanced nodes is essentially the farthest humanity has ventured down the tech tree. It is so incredibly difficult and complicated that it's essentially impossible to explain to the average joe how it even works without simplifying it into oblivion. 95% I talk to can't even grasp correctly what I do for a living, and digital design is very far up the stack. I'm saying this not because I'm rooting against Elon or xAI, Tesla or SpaceX, but just to manage expectations. Starlink has proven with their satellite cadence and PCB in-house pipeline that these companies do understand how to build stuff reliably at scale and down to a sustainable price point. If there is one guy and his entourage that can actually succeed at this, it's this. Nobody else. But expect bumps along the way. This might be the single thing in tech more complicated than the literal rocket science.

@nikitabier @TheJerryRMander Securities Exchange Commision? I don’t get the joke?

@TheJerryRMander Girlfriend just sent me this and said “us”

Your average SEC couple:

@Eris_Fnord @WilliamShatner I forgot how funny this guy was. I grew up watching oh god, you devil I think it was called.

@WilliamShatner Happy Birthday. 93 year old George Burns appears on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.

At 95, I'm still smokin'! 😝 I’ve learned two things: Never waste a good cigar. Never trust anyone who says you should ‘act your age.’ 😉👍🏻

@SenFettermanPA I wonder if the president can force them back to work. Perhaps not, since they aren’t being paid.

This morning at PIT, so many TSA employees expressed their appreciation for standing with them and shared their financial hardship. End this ridiculous DHS shutdown NOW. Pay these hardworking TSA agents and all DHS employees who collectively keep our country more secure.

@himanshu__sriv @mcuban Yes, less on site time commitment for work, and maybe a 4 day work week, would drive millions back into the workforce, I know I would re enter the work force, if it was less hours. This would also help with family formation, and the ability to have/care for children.

@mcuban Interesting take. But do you think most companies will reduce hours… or just expect more output in the same time?

Smart, bigger companies will enable their employees to create and use agents (within security guardrails ), improve their productively but MOST IMPORTANTLY, they will reduce their work day by an hour to start. Same pay. Reward people doing the daily with more time. I get WFH kind of dilutes that. But it’s a step that sets the tone in a company.

@elonmusk @JoeTegtmeyer Whoa! this is awesome news. Please find a location in Texas. You are a hero to millions of us here in a Texas, and we love you, and your companies. I’m sure Abbott, and Ercot could help you develop a site/utilities to jump start this project.🥰

No, that’s just the little advanced technology fab, where we will be iterating on chip designs. We couldn’t possibly fit the Terafab on the GigaTexas campus. It will be far bigger than everything else combined there. Several locations for Terafab are under consideration. It needs thousands of acres and over 10GW of power at full scale.

We can argue it sucks that the larger, stronger countries can take the smaller, weaker ones, but thus has always been. It’s great that more noble, strong countries don’t take advantage of that. In 1945 we could have taken over the entire world, ended Russia, and china. America could have colonized the entire world, and ruled over all it’s people, and all it’s resources, and be the only true earth empire. We did not. Why not. It’s an interesting question to mull over, in the wee hours of the morning. Germany was trying to do it. Russia was trying. Japan was trying. If Stalin, Mao, or Hitler, obtained the bomb before we did—I believe they would not have hesitated in complete world domination via force.

@TheLastRefuge2 What is the right answer to that question? I don’t think any nation has a “right” to exist, unless they are prepared to fight, and die, against those who would seek to take it.

True. It all started when someone stole the "A's" out of my alphabet cereal, and now I can't spell my name.

@jfcsoup @mtracey Mueller declined to prosecute, due to lack of evidence. What are you talking about?

@willyrobins @mtracey Why? If Mueller tried to put you in jail for life you would probably feel the same way!

Holy shit

@AndrewCMcCarthy NOT a patriot.

@elonmusk @WallStreetMav Like the big brother giant screens on the wall in 1984? Sometimes media is incredibly prophetic.

@WallStreetMav I sure hope this is just a coincidence!

Isn’t it weird that the first Terminator movie in 1984 is basically about a guy coming back in time from the year 2029 to warn us about a war with Ai robots?

@elonmusk Ugh! Please don’t pay their salaries. It’s just security theater, and let the people suffer, to force the legislators to pass the funding bills. If you pay them, and the lines go down, they will never pass the funding, and they will bleed your wealth away from things that matter.

I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country

@willyrobins @WallStreetApes @nikitabier Boa resposta Como voce descobre que são fakes ou bots??

@Georgesantos @stopcatstop Same. Fascinating life story so far, we in America love to give second chances, and redemption, and your life arc is very interesting.

@stopcatstop Thank you

I am unfollowing George Santos over this

@marlene_ro34461 @WallStreetApes @nikitabier I’m here to read, and learn. Not looking for likes, and internet fame. Also, most all of the followers are fake, and bots.
