The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Michael James no published score: only 1 usable exchange on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Um, without bad-mouthing your competitors, they, they, they are, um, a variety of, of, of companies, including the startups that have emerged around in this space, like Graphcore, and Sabanova, and all the things. Can you maybe help us contrast the approaches and, Are those doing different things for different people, or are you guys all going after the same opportunity? In that case, how different are you?

A Yeah, I certainly won't. There's plenty of space in the field, in the computer hardware field, for there to be multiple innovative plays. What we're doing is aiming towards the largest problems at data center scale, and fundamentally new research. If you have more data that you can train with right now, that would be where our machine comes in. And I, I think there are specialists who work only in low power inference, who want to have edge devices, who are, uh, trying to put intelligent processors in cars, um, and, and who are taking different cracks at the same thing, who, uh, who maybe wants the, the most compatible with the existing software ecosystem rather than fundamentally new innovation. So I, I think that there's plenty of room at this point while the field is advancing, and, and that's part of what makes it exciting is the, Um, the developments in, in data science and AI have made it possible for us to do this innovation.
