how do you feel about: not being constrained by “object-oriented” thinking ?

Expectation: the age of the IDE is over Reality: we’re going to need a bigger IDE (imo). It just looks very different because humans now move upwards and program at a higher level - the basic unit of interest is not one file but one agent. It’s still programming.

Rumor: Tesla is going to build its own EUV lithography machines because ASML is “too slow.” to supply to the new chip plant. ASML currently produces <100 EUV machines per year. Apparently that’s not fast enough for Elon Musk. The new plan: • 1,000 EUV machines per week starting 2027 • 10,000 per week by 2028 And since HBM memory is also a bottleneck, Tesla will casually build 10 new memory fabs in the next two years producing 5× the rest of the industry combined. Meanwhile, Micron Technology, SK Hynix, and Samsung Electronics are panicking.


This summer, our teams in London will move into our new workspace, Platform 37. The office will also include a new public space dedicated to deepening understanding of artificial intelligence. The name is a nod to “Move 37,” a pivotal play made by @GoogleDeepMind’s AlphaGo AI system in a now legendary 2016 match against Go world champion Lee Sae Dol. The unconventional move set AlphaGo up to win — and the victory heralded the beginning of what is now recognized as the modern era in AI.

From 1990 to 1993, I worked on the Newton OS team. I was responsible for several networking and communications components, most notably the AppleTalk network stack that allowed Newton devices to operate on AppleTalk LANs— for example, printing to a LaserWriter. At the time, AppleTalk was a far more plug-and-play alternative to TCP/IP, which was still in its early stages. TCP/IP eventually matured and became the backbone of the Internet, but in those days it was far from the dominant standard. The AppleTalk stack was written in C++, the low-level language used for most of the OS components. C++ was so new that there was no native compiler. We used a two-pass compilation process: CFront translated C++ into C, which was then compiled into object code. In the Newton era, there were no cell phones or practical wireless data networks. GPS was just emerging and was not part of the Newton architecture. Communications were limited to the serial port. How much has changed. Today, Wi-Fi is assumed as a baseline capability for accessing network resources. Devices like the iPhone communicate wirelessly over LTE and 5G to cellular infrastructure. ncreasingly, they can connect directly to satellite networks such as @Starlink, extending connectivity to nearly any location on Earth— land, sea, or air, from New York to Antarctica. Even back then at Apple, we knew that world was coming. We experimented with in-building wireless technologies, including IR and RF approaches, but power constraints, lack of infrastructure, and the absence of standards kept them out of reach at the time. grokipedia.com/page/Apple_New…

I happen to know many people on the Newton team. This was the hardest deathmarch ever - they slept on the floor for months, Elon got nothing on them. I get emotional when people make fun of Newton: attempting to push the state of the art should be commended, not denigraded.

hypothetically, if yann lecun fundraised for a new AGI lab for himself... how much would it be worth?

Europe needs homegrown, low-carbon energy sources. Nuclear & renewables together have a key role to play Nuclear energy is available around the clock, providing electricity all year. Europe has been a pioneer in nuclear technology. And can lead again ↓ twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI) is building a new breed of AI systems that understand the world, have persistent memory, can reason and plan, and are controllable and safe. We’ve raised a $1.03B (~€890M) round from global investors who believe in our vision of universally intelligent systems centered on world models. This round is co-led by Cathay Innovation, Greycroft, Hiro Capital, HV Capital, and Bezos Expeditions, along with other investors and angels across the world. We are a growing team of researchers and builders, operating in Paris, New York, Montreal and Singapore from day one. Read more: amilabs.xyz AMI - Real world. Real intelligence.
