Jim Keller discusses the nature of change, Moore's Law, and how relationships between information shape our understanding of technology.
"Think about how you think. You can fluidly look at something, identify and modify it in your head, move it around, describe it ... What we call understanding isn't the sum of knowledge, it's the sum of the relationship to all of that information. Knowledge is the layer above information, which is transformative." Tenstorrent President and CTO Jim Keller gives the keynote at Stanford's System X conference.

On “Sam Zeloof and Jim Keller start a new semiconductor fab”
K8 seems pretty small after he made the fucking Zen architecture (and Tesla AI). Lex has good interviews with Jim1, he's not just very smart, he is wise. He started Tenstorrent some time ago with Ljubisa Bajic so I'm assuming this fab is related. Here is youtube channel for Tenstorrent2, and last time I checked it was getting under 100 views per video... Ian also interviewed him3 some time ago. Long story short if I had money that would be relevant in this context I would invest really hard into Tenstorrent. Investing time to listen to the guy seems to be not worse. 1a. link 1b. link 2. link to this video 3. link

On “Intel plans to overtake Samsung and TSMC with its 1.8nm chips by 2025”
Transistor measurements in nanometers has been more or less meaningless since the introduction of FinFETs over a decade ago, and IIRC it was TSMC that started the let's play funny business with nanometers affair. Today they are marketing terms and the different fabs try to align them somewhat, but have inherent conflicts of interest when it comes to overselling their tech. For example a TSMC N5 transistor is roughly 100x100x100nm in size as per link to this video .
