By tuning the “Gaussian length” of the channel, the team achieved two‑dimensional super‑injection, which is an effectively limitless charge surge into the storage layer that bypasses the classical injection bottleneck.

They’re just copying the description of the turbo encabulator.

normal person’s server.
I’m pretty sure I speak for the majority of normal people, but we don’t have servers.

Yeah, when you’re a technology enthusiast, it’s easy to forget that your average user doesn’t have a home server - perhaps they just have a NAS or two.
(Kidding aside, I wish more people had NAS boxes. It’s pretty disheartening to help someone find old media and they show a giant box of USB sticks and hard drives. In a good day. I do have a USB floppy drive and a DVD drive just in case.)

You… you don’t? Surely there’s some mistake, have you checked down the back of your cupboard? Sometimes they fall down there. Where else do you keep your internet?
Appologies, I’m tired and that made more sense in my head.

You can get a Coral TPU for 40 bucks or so.
You can get an AMD APU with a NN-inference-optimized tile for under 200.
Training can be done with any relatively modern GPU, with varying efficiency and capacity depending on how much you want to spend.
What price point are you trying to hit?

What price point are you trying to hit?
With regards to AI?. None tbh.
With this super fast storage I have other cool ideas but I don’t think I can get enough bandwidth to saturate it.

Too bad the US can’t import any of it.

they can if they pay 6382538% tariffs.
or was it 29403696%?

“These chips are 10,000 times faster, therefore we will increase our tariffs to 10,100%!”

Clickbait article with some half truths. A discovery was made, it has little to do with Ai and real world applications will be much, MUCH more limited than what’s being talked about here, and will also likely still take years to come out

Brother, have you heard of buses? Even INSIDE cpus/socs bus speeds are a limitation. Also i fucking hate how the first thing people mention now is how ai could benefit from a jump in computing power.

Is that fast enough to put an LLM in swap and have decent performance?
jj4211@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
Note that this in theory speaks to performance of a non volatile memory. It does not speak to cost.
We already have a faster than NAND non volatile storage in phase change memory . It failed due to expense.
If this thing is significantly more expensive even than RAM, then it may fail even if it is everything it says it is. If it is at least as cheap as ram, it’ll be huge since it is faster than RAM and non volatile.
Swap is indicated by cost, not by non volatile characteristics.

Wow, finally graphene has been cracked. Exciting times for portable low-energy computing

This sounds like that material would be more useful in high performance radars, not as flash memory
CosmoNova@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
It‘s likely BS anyway. Maybe it’s just me but reading about another crazy breakthrough from China every single day during this trade war smells fishy. Because I‘ve seen the exact same propaganda strategy during the pandemic when relations between China and the rest of the world weren‘t exactly the best. A lot of those headlines coming from there are just claims about flashy topics with very little substance or second guessing.
LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 hours ago
It’s definitely possible they’re amplifying these developments to maintain confidence in the Chinese market, but I doubt they’re outright lying about the discoveries. I think it’s also likely that some of what they’ve been talking about has been in development for a while and that China is choosing now to make big reveals about them.

Hopefully they can use it against covid.

Does flash, like solid state drives, have the same lifespan in terms of write? If so, it feels like this would most certainly not be useful for AI, as that use case would involve doing billions/trillions of writes in a very short span of time.
