its about discussing a new type of AI accelerator

yeah I'll take a wild guess and say it's some analog computing type deal and they recycle SSD memory chips for the analog compute part, with digital stages to condition the signal. everybody's in on it, because of the high efficiency. cheap to run models but not for training

no it isn't, you made no effort to discuss anything, you just spammed a url of someone who wants to get rich by advertising their product

analog yes but this is a new custom chip and the first version is a non-consumer chip that uses Josephson junctions (superconducting so need low temperatures) to implement a specific ML algorithm
the idea is to use thermal noise for sampling, compared to how normal digital transistor based computers need to run a lot of calculations to generate pseudo-randomness, in this case they would just exploit the inherent ambient thermal noise for randomness

its not this guys product, its an explainer about a product that was unveiled

here comes massive samefagging to keep the viral advertising thread bumped
this is why they took away the IP counter

So a scam too.

I'm reading their paper but reminded me of this video I recently saw:

yeah so it's an analog random noise generator, a very efficient one. seems like a part of something else, bigger. cryo cooling will limit applications

I don't get it. How do they observe their balls bouncin' around? And like they gotta put data in somehow right? Do they push the balls around on that funny looking hillside?

I just got some schizo anti-accelerationist anti-tech person there (probably actually schizophrenic, not just throwing that around as a meme)

>analog compute part
When did "compute" start being a noun?
