What Hacker News says

He's got the kernel of a good idea. Deterministic data flows are a good thing. We keep almost getting there, with things like data flow architectures, FPGAs, etc. But there's always a premature optimization for the silicon, instead of the whole system. This leads to failure, over, and over. He's wrong in the idea of using an LLM for general purpose compute. Using math instead of logic isn't a good thing for many use cases. You don't want a database, or an FFT in a Radar System to hallucinate, for example. My personal focus is on homogeneous, clocked, bit level systolic arrays.[2] I'm starting to get the feeling the idea is really close to being a born secret[1] though, as it might enable anyone to really make high performance chips on any fab node.

In Tinygrad will be the next Linux and LLVM
1) Abstract thinking about Turing Machine Equivalents 2) Turing machine equivalents, Reconfigurable Computing, FPGAs, RetroComputing 3) Windows32 Apps, ASICS, 7400 Series TTL 4) Old retired person time 5) Central Time Zone, US, Chicagoland 6) Fun for me, you can do profit if you want, learning 7) The BitGrid, a Turing machine equivalent which might yield cheap Petaflops, or not. Someone could make billions off of this, or not. I just want to see one actualized. 8) Links: https://github.com/mikewarot/Bitgrid https://esolangs.org/wiki/Bitgrid https://bitgrid.blogspot.com/
