What the hell does the President of France know about RAM!? /s
No no no no no! That’s Emmanuel MAcron! This is his little brother, Emmanuel MIcron!
This is like an oil company saying you will need more oil.
The RAM cartel says things need to use more RAM. …k
it’s funny because I can run a coral TPU on 4gb that can identify obstacles in live streams.
I’m a fucking genius for figuring it out. make me the CTO of Micron and I will share my knowledge.
Is their ram going to become the new catalytic converters
This is not credible. A self promoting stock pump and dump PR. Vision AI models are smaller than text models. They do need fast/faster GPUs, but less memory. Very narrow purposed AI/Neural Network models need less memory because the memory is more about storing facts than logic/reasoning capability. LLM breakthroughs in benchmark score/GB are currently having more gains by smaller models than frontier largest models. 32gb is a reasonable ceiling for memory requirement. Robots can swap in task specific AI models as well.
I literally don’t want self driving cars. Fucking stop.
Didn’t Musk promise like a decade ago that Tesla self driving would run fine on their “hardware v2” computer, then a few years later that it would require v3, and then v4 before he finally stopped making such promises?
Micron make RAM. I don’t think we should give any more credence to their claims than we do to Elon’s. Their goal here is to pump their share price, nothing more.
Comma AI can do it with far far less.
Bullshit.
No no no. See, this is why AI is so fucked up. It doesn’t matter if it’s human or driverless. Cars aren’t supposed to RAM anything!!!
They should dodge not ram.
Not enough dodge too much RAM 👌
Obviously a company that makes RAM will say RAM is important, what else would we expect?
I’d love to know what Waymo vehicles have though.
They saw Jensen say engineers should be burning tokens to keep warm and thought “fuck it, let’s do this”.
LIDAR. They have lidar.
“You know that thing we sell? Buy a shitload of it.”
More like, you know that thing we used to sell and now we don’t because we bet everything on ai datacenters? Well now we bet on robots because we raised the price so high nobody will afford to buy that thing we used to sell and we can’t go back to that price because the line must go up!
I’m reading that headline as: Major electronics company explains why self driving cars and home robots will be unaffordable.
Only because of current RAM prices and artificial scarcity keeping those prices high.
300GB of RAM shouldn’t be that expensive. I have 1/3 of that in my server (bought years ago). If it wasn’t for the AI bullshit, 300GB would be fairly reasonable to buy in a couple of years time.
RAM used to be ~$4/GB. So 300*4=$1200. A price increase of $1200 is actually pretty darn affordable to get self driving, surely?
Sure, there are other components than RAM needed. But the RAM alone is not what would make it unaffordable.
I imagine pople stealing RAM from cars.
no, they’ll just buy RAMDoubler!
Like catalytic converters?
They’re almost certainly going to be soldered chips instead of traditional ram sticks.
Where there’s meth there’s a way
Soldered, and often in hard to get to places in the vehicle. it’d be easier and more lucrative to strip the wiring for the copper.
No way they would make it upgradable or user serviceable lol
They just get really fast and accurate with soldering irons. Until later ones come along absolutely surgical with a flame thrower.
How? It’s soldered on.
Take the whole board?
then install linux on it.
Then run doom.
I’m not saying that’s realistic, but I imagine my cyberpunk thieves now with portable soldering stations and microscopes
