Jim's super cool and also very respected in the industry. He was a big inspiration for me early on in my career. I was a fairly junior CPU performance engineer at AMD when Jim joined AMD in 2012 (he'd worked at AMD earlier in his career too). I worked on the Zen program, which was being led by Jim. I saw him at my gym one morning, deadlifting 275 lbs (or maybe more) and I went up to him and introduced myself. He was super friendly and continued to be so whenever I'd run into him. We'd exchange our personal bests in lifting. IIRC, he was in his mid 50's then. Given the similarity in our backgrounds (CPU design) and his professional achievements and his amazing discipline, it was a no-brainer for me to aspire to be like him.

Oh my god Silicon Ronin himself. Silicon Ronin has no home. He goes from impossible task to next impossible task and builds his miracles. Jim is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will... something you know very little about. I once saw him design a FPGA in a bar... with a pencil, with a fucking pencil. Then suddenly one day he asked to leave. So I made a deal with him. I gave him an impossible task. A job no one could have pulled off. To make AMD competitive again and he succeeded . The architecture choices he made that day laid the foundation of what we are now.

@mikexu9397 4 года назад

I was shocked by the accuracy of the prediction of branching as well. I learned it when taking a computer architecture class that's required by my CS major. The explanation that I came up with is this: Intuitively when we think of a branch instruction, we think of it as an if-else structure in C. Then, the accuracy should be around 50%. Achieving 85% without doing anything fancy doesn't make any sense. However, the blind-spot is the loop structure. For example, when using a for loop in C, the complier translates the loop into a branch structure where if the condition is true, it branches back to the top of the loop; if it's not true, then it branches out of the loop. Imagining having a for loop that loops 50 times. Predicting that the branch will jump back to the loop will have an accuracy of 49/50 = 98%. Just imagine how many loops a normal program has. Having an 85% accuracy doesn't sound impossible now. Also, that's why I subjective believe that trying to prefect the prediction algorithm is the wrong way to go. The initial high accuracy is not merit. It's just a nice feature due to programs having many loops. There's no reason to think that we are able to prefect the prediction. Hope this helps.

@anjankatta1864 4 года назад

This is a helpful explanation thank you!

@a.d.1882 4 года назад

Beside loops, there are also all the error checks conditionals which are false most of the time. There are even compiler macros to advise the compiler in that case (so that it can put the condition body in a far away memory area, this way more of the real code to be executed get cached). Honestly there’s really nothing surprising in this at all of that for people doing low-level / OS / compiler / game programming for a living. Only people who are stuck in their high-level programming ivory towers finds such information “surprising”.

"We can disagree on this" ? Well no, you don't disagree like that with a man like Jim Keller, right to his face. Your position should be "maybe this highly-accomplished guy knows more than I do".

Hello Lex, I just listened to the JRE episode with you on it and then decided to come to your channel to just have a look, not necessarily expecting too much crossover between my interests and the subject matter of your channel. The first thing I see is Jim Keller, the person at the top of my list of people who I have been wanting to hear speak outside of their official capacity for at least a decade now. I can't wait to listen to this and discover who else you've had on your show.

@DaveWard-xc7vd 4 года назад

@@npgatech7 He was forcasting the future relationship between super intelligent machines and humans, while reflecting on the current relationship between the 98% of people with average or below average intelligence and that 2% of people with genius IQs. Cars were invented by geniuses to be driven by fools. So it is with most things. In the future all of mankind will be the fool.

Well most people don't deal with it because they ignore the facts and base their decisions on emotions. My observation is that the dumber the person, the less aware they are of the existence of people more intelligent than them. Perhaps, a super intelligent AI will be something that we will never even become aware of.

@DaveWard-xc7vd 4 года назад

@@MindlessSuccess I am blessed/cursed with an exceptionally high IQ and for the most part people dont seem to notice because I lean towards being introverted and I tend to observe more than judge. Then there have been situations where I stepped out of character to save the day and people I thought my friends have reacted badly. It was as though their whole perception of me had just been shattered. I dont pretend to be an idiot. I just dont try to solve every problem but they react as if lied to them Strange.

@@MindlessSuccess I agree with you on AI. It is most likely among us and we have no idea. But I suspect.

This video was great... It has been a long time since the last time I asked myself so many different questions one after the other. Very interesting topics and I liked how both of you are one step ahead of the obvious and someties don't even mention or refer to it.

I just wanna say Lex, your podcast has inspired me. For far too long ive been somewhat in a dormant state. I wake up, I go to work, I watch netflix, and I go to sleep. Your podcast has changed that for me, its inspired me to learn amd think critically. Its inspired me to use my time to further my knowledge l, not stave off my boredome. I hope one day I get to meet you and thank you in person, and, maybe even get to work with you. Its been a pleasure getting an insight into your mind and your guests minds. Keep doing what youre doing, its awesome.
