Very proud that today our Intel Neuromorphic Computing Lab announces Hala Point, the world's largest and fastest deployed neuromorphic system w/ 1.15 billion neurons, the capacity of an owl brain, packed into a 6 rack-unit chassis intel.com/content/www/us/en/…
Capable of 20 quadrillion dense-equivalent 8-bit integer ops per second and 15 TOPS/W efficiency, it operates at only 2600 watts max (a few GPUs worth) and paves the way for more sustainable AI acceleration.
Excited to continue algorithmic development f/ this system, esp using its on-chip learning engine. With this, we can not only make AI workloads run more efficiently at inference time, but learn continuously, w/o batching, to minimize/avoid the costly re-training of deep networks
Thrilled to share that my PhD advisor, Larry Abbott, and pioneers Terry Sejnowski @sejnowski & Haim Sompolinsky @HSompolinsky clinched the prestigious Brain Prize for their groundbreaking work in computational and theoretical neuroscience.
🤘🤓🤘
This honor is a watershed moment in the history of neuroscience. Once viewed as irrelevant, computational/theoretical neuroscience is now viewed as essential, especially in systems neuroscience (how we understand e.g. vision, motor control, cognition, etc).
Thanks to pioneers like Larry, Terry & Haim, cutting-edge tech and AI we're inching closer to decoding the brain's computational mysteries.
BREAKING: You can actually get the @AllenInstitute to perform cutting-edge neuroscience experiments to test your ideas on how the brain work for free. Deadline is September 12th to submit your experiments. Please wake up to how amazing that is. alleninstitute.org/division/…
Genot Centre was influential in my music tastes when {arsonist} was just coming to fruition. They embodied a particular post-club computer music crossover that will always be sentimental for me. Ondřej and Wim supported my own music early on. Thanks for everything friends🙏🌹
🪦 RIP GENOT CENTRE (2015-2023) 🪦
"Music is about discovery”, as one brave & wise man once said (Bryce Helm, 2023). We have recently discovered that this is the perfect time to conclude all things Genot. ⬇️
Does everyone else have 2-5 storage bins containing every t-shirt that you’ve ever been given as part of any past academic/professional/athletic/musical/organizational affiliation that you wear once each per year max out of nostalgia and guilt or is that just me?
Have to agree with Blake here and it’s interesting to me that I’m also seeing agreement from many prominent researchers who lean “computational neuroscience” vs more general DL/AI (if we can draw such a crude distinction)
1/4) Several people I admire immensely have signed this, but respectfully, I'm afraid I just don't agree with the claim that "mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority".
I think this statement is naive and a mistake.
A lesson that I continually relearn — the things that are pedestrian to you are not necessarily that way for others. If you’ve invested deeply in a(n) artistic/musical/algorithmic/academic niche, what seems obvious/overplayed to you can be deeply valuable to a different audience
Today we're kicking off the third Summer of Math Exposition, SoME3. It's an event to encourage more people to create online math explanations, with prizes and a chance to have your work surfaced to a larger audience.

PDX: My next live set is tomorrow Sun 4/2 at @holocene supporting @crueldiagonals amazing new album release! Come thru if u love ambient experiments 🔊🎛️
The archive of my live set for Chromasy's monthly on @RTM_fm is up: rtm.fm/listen/chromasy/
Lots of high bpm drum programming in this 1, since Chromasy is an IDM & computer music connoisseur.
S/O to the great set by @underarrow. Also ft. shredders Oh Mr James & Simona Zamboli
I really love the sound design of hyperglitch but rhythmically it’s all like Bommmmmmpppp ba dumm ba SCheeeeeeee dubstep breakdown where you just replace all the drum hits with stretched and granulated recordings of your cat or whatever
