Pull quote: “It’s actually important (if you’re not an engineer) to listen to the whole thing, because he drops knowledge all over the place.” (HN, 2022)

Jim Keller interview packed with knowledge throughout
Updated my response to include a link to the transcription. The audio/video is here: [this video] It’s actually important (if you’re not an engineer) to listen to the whole thing, because he drops knowledge all over the place.

Ian Cutress interview with Jim Keller
K8 seems pretty small after he made the fucking Zen architecture (and Tesla AI). Lex has good interviews with Jim[1], 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 Tenstorrent[2], and last time I checked it was getting under 100 views per video... Ian also interviewed him[3] 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.
