  • Cerebras AI Wafer

    Earlier attempts at wafer-scale integration had yield issues. Here the lithography-reticle-sized rectangles interconnect only with upper layer metal, and each has a local clock, so it’s almost like a wafer-scale multi-chip module. It can can route around regional failures. This architecture is OK for AI and avoids earlier WSI shortcomings. With 44GB of SRAM (6T… Read More

  • My Viking Artifacts at NASA Ames

    For the 50th anniversary of the first Mars lander, I brought my Viking artifacts to NASA Ames to share with the Vikings that made it happen. They audibly gasped when my Viking Lander Biological Instrument (VLBI) was unveiled. Ames managed the VLBI experiments, the first attempt to detect life on another world. The VLBI was… Read More

  • πŸ“• The Philosopher in the Valley + bookmark

    It is not especially well written and can’t even clearly describe what Palantir does (perhaps because it kept changing in the early days in what sounded like a chain of consulting projects). It is better as a biography of Karp and Thiel, and I’ll share the best bits below if you want the TLDR; But,… Read More

  • Red Two X-wing Starfighter β€” from ILM

    And Video as I reimagine the boss battle from the first Star Wars movie. Built from the Original Molds, a 1:24-scale static miniature X-wing starfighter model constructed of resin with vacuform styrene exterior components, featuring brass-tubing laser cannons, a resin miniature pilot seated in the cockpit, and the dome of an astromech R2 unit positioned… Read More
