youtu.be/DQ_rxSKYkE4 I read about these 10 years ago and wondered when they would start fixing the #MooresLaw breakdown as promised. Apparently, soon and with the serious push for #AI , companies left out of the #datacenter push will be funneling money into these. A data center full of these could be the equivalent of 400 data centers. They can be a LOT smaller. AI was always expected to advance with both software AND hardware advances. A decade from now all of that energy will have been wasted and data centers will be so much smaller and sparse and efficient. AI is great for certain things but we need to be more like #China, where they are building 1/10th the data centers we are with 5 times the people but only using there where they are needed. Once the hardware catches up, the prices will drop

[en] Moore’s Law? When #computer chips can't get smaller (can they?)
"... in the last 15 years, transistors have gotten close to the point where #quantum mechanics starts to interfere with their function: just a few dozen nanometers in size. They can’t get smaller."
"... approach familiar to urban planners: build up. On Thursday, #IBM announced it has created a #chip that uses this strategy. The new #architecture, known as a #nanostack, vertically stacks transistors in two layers on a #silicon chip."

100% Utilization: Computation and Labor After Moore's Law
Andrew Lison
(MIT Press, 2026)
https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262051361/100-utilization/
"A wide-ranging analysis of how the material limits to discrete, silicon-based computing power impact employment and automation
Since the end of the Second World War, we have come to expect continual growth in computing power and the rapid development of digital technology. This dynamic has enabled informational procedures to supplant an ever-increasing range of human and mechanical activity. However, indications that the semiconductor industry is approaching the physical limits of integrated circuitry pose an existential challenge to Intel Corporation cofounder Gordon Moore’s “law,” which prescribes an exponential increase in microchip density—and, by extension, processing performance—every two years.
Placing theories of employment in dialectical conjunction with the concrete operations of computing, 100% Utilization explores the consequences of pushing processing power to its limits for a culture seemingly reliant on automation as much as human labor. In accounting for this contradiction, Andrew Lison offers a corrective to theories of digital mediation, emphasizing its symbolic and representational capabilities. He connects the looming end of Moore’s law to trends in semiconductor manufacturing, custom hardware, and parallelized software techniques, including AI. Ultimately, he traces this historical technological boom and impending bust through the racialized history of Silicon Valley to longer-term conceptions of the relationship between machinery and labor."

The "AI" phenomenon and craze has been discussed endlessly, including the vast computational and energy requirements of dedicated #datacenters
There is an important split betwen model building and inference of statistical models (and hence also #llm ) which means there is not one but two problems to solve.
The first one is *highly* non-trivial. It bumps against #mooreslaw and requires #supercomputing networking tricks. The datacenter must operate as one giant machine

@icing There's a thing called "the curse of dimensionality" and it applies to neural networks. I guess you could say that it's like a reverse Moore's Law but for neural nets. Basically, (and this is just my mostly-non technical explanation), neural nets are basically huge multi-dimensional classifiers and when you need to do backpropagation to train the net, it involves making small adjustments to localised areas of the classifier space. The problem (or curse) of having more dimensions is that it becomes harder and harder to localise the changes because every local space becomes closer to all the other points in every other subspace. This means exponentially higher training costs as these models scale.
At least that's as I understand it. I'm not a mathematician, but I have read plenty of stuff relating to machine learning over the years (since the 90s) and I think I've got the above right...

MARIA, the graphics chip in the Atari 7800, had 24k transistors. Atari sold about 3.8M units of that console, which adds up to 91.2B transistors.
Coincidentally, GB202-300, the graphics chip in the NVIDIA 5090, has 92.2B transistors.
Just sayin'

Right now, plowing $ into transistors that can not get smaller. Why? I am someone who has taught AI for 25 years. #AI is NOT a #bubble because compute is no longer on an exponential curve. When compute becomes additive, there is not means of production to go around. So what does #capital do? Put it in a data center (a factory) at all costs. Make compute a metered service at all costs. It is not the #LLM, not the #chat. It is the end of Moore's law we are witnessing. #datacenter #mooreslaw

I am hoping this time we do bootstrap a Lunar economy it is 60 years since Robert A. Heinlein wrote "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress" which had mass being launched from the Moon via a linear accelerator I know it was #SciFi but the physics was known & I'd say hard #SciFi within the technical capabilities of the day if we had continued visiting the Moon we could have built it admittedly an AI with a slightly warp SOH😜 is only being born now after sufficient iterations of #MooresLaw but we could have built an equivalent of the Antarctic bases during the last century. I really hope it does not stall again & it does end up being "For All Mankind" -

It's amazing how the processing and memory wre expensive and had to be centralized, so each user had an "inexpensive" terminal, but only a few years later the processing and memory became the least expensive parts of a calculator.

My #Thinkpad X200 (currently running #OpenBSD) is about to turn 16.
I bought it when it was already a relic of 9 years old.Yet, I could just about daily-drive it today without really breaking a sweat. Especially using a BSD and an X11-based window manager, which leaves a lot of free RAM out of its 4GB available for other things, like actually running a web browser. XD
That's just crazy to me.
I remember when my belovèd old #Macintosh SE turned 16 (in 2006), it was just sitting in my closet gathering dust. It had a lot of sentimental value, but wasn't really usable to me.
RIP #MooresLaw. ;)

Every prediction of hyperbolic or super exponential computational scaling - every single one - has been wrong. People routinely underestimate the practical limits imposed by physics, economics, and engineering.
The prediction that #ArtificialIntelligence would result in super intelligence once an #LLM could build #AI was transparent horseshit if you know anything about the history of computing.
#MooresLaw, that is exponential scaling of computation, predates the transistor. The transistor didn't change the game, it rescued computers from the limits of vacuum tubes.
The problem is that as a technology advances in capability, it also advances in complexity. The potential hyperbolic growth is limited by exponential scaling in complexity.
Turns out that there's now a proof that error correcting LLMs is a computationally hard problem. So, the previously (already bad IMO) scaling laws for #LLMs, are actually _even_ worse. And you can see this in the response to #OpenAI and their new #GPT5.
But even without that, the energy requirements were always going to be a huge limit. A human is calorically way cheaper than a 1 trillion parameter model. A brain runs a machine many orders of magnitude more complex on less power than a lightbulb.
However... don't take this to mean AI is dead. The transformer architecture's demise was obvious to researchers like me for a long time. However, it's nowhere near the scope of the possible space to explore with AI.
In the meantime, anticipate people like me to be pushing to get AI out of the control of megacorporations and into the hands of everyone without it acting as spyware.

🚀 Ah, another bold prediction on the demise of Moore's Law! Apparently, our beloved transistor density is now an endangered species 🦖, much like the author's originality. 🤔 But don't worry, dear reader, because in this riveting tale, complex economics are somehow less believable than unicorn startups. 🦄💵

Anecdote from my partner:
"I have just installed 96TB of disk space in an external enclosure on [work computer]. [coworker] wants it for storing astronomical images. The first time I installed a disk drive on a computer it was 48 years ago and the drive held 90kB. Today's storage is one billion times larger.
Moore's Law is really about chips and not disks, and says that things double every two years. According to that, a billion-fold increase should take 60 years, so I'm somewhat ahead of that rate."

So what's this low latency HBM stuff?

It would make sense as an on package cache type thing between the cpu, gpu and main memory...
Why aren't they putting this stuff on package next to the cpu/and or gpu die?
