Daily Tech News 17 September 2023
Top Story
- We're in a productivity crisis according to 52 years of data and things could get really bad. (Medium)
Really?Author Note: This article was written over 60 hours with love and care using the blockbuster mental model. If you want to create high-quality viral content using the blockbuster approach, I have two programs to help you. That doesn't answer my question.Heavy weight: I personally lead a year-long, small-group training. The 6th cohort starts in September 2023. To learn more, fill out this application. Or... Does it?Light weight: With my Blockbuster Blueprint newsletter, you receive a daily 5-minute video lesson from a famous thought leader along with an easy way to apply it. Yeah, starting to get the picture here.I spent over 500 hours researching and writing this article. Those 500 hours were spent reading through dozens of books/studies in 10+ fields (history, economics, technology, philosophy of science, manufacturing, management, sociology, investing, innovation). I spent so much time because the topic was both much more interesting and complicated than I originally thought. And, as is the case with all of my writing on Medium, I use the blockbuster philosophy. This means I don't click publish unless I think it is one of the best articles that has been written on the topic. Yep, you're an idiot.
The article itself can be summarised as: Trends that can't continue forever, won't.
Which is a variation of Stein's Law, though expanded from six words to a few thousand (with diagrams and pull quotes) because as I noted, the author is an idiot.
Tech News
- Is Instacart's IPO price justified? (Tech Crunch)
Betteridge's Law.
- Nvidia is shipping 900 tons of H100 AI GPUs this quarter. (WCCFTech)
That's about $10 billion worth of high-margin cards. If you wonder why Nvidia doesn't seem to care that its consumer cards just got clobbered by AMD, well, they don't. Care, that is.
- HBM4 memory could double the bandwidth of existing HBM3e chips by, well, doubling the bandwidth. (WCCFTech)
HBM to date has been 1024 bits wide. HBM4 appears to be 2048 bits wide.
Don't knock it, it works.
- A look inside AMD's Phoenix CPU - variously found as the 7840HS in laptops and the Z1 Extreme in gaming devices. (Chips and Cheese)
Including details of the AI coprocessor and the twin audio DSPs.
I didn't even know it had twin audio DSPs.
- "Feedback" is too harsh. The new word is "feedforward". (Mint)
Speaking of audio DSPs, audio engineers everywhere just threw up their hands in disgust.
Also Apple fanboys. Even them: "I refuse to believe this is true," writes Apple blogger John Gruber, "and if it is true, my feedback is that any company that encounters an employee who bristles at the word feedback should fire them on the spot."
I hear you, John. Out of a cannon, directly into the Sun.
Disclaimer: Direct orbits into the Sun are surprisingly energy-intensive, but in this case the expense is worthwhile.
