This one's been requested a lot--hope you enjoy!
Wherein Dr. Know-it-all discusses Apple’s new M1 chip, with an integrated System on Chip, and of special interest, the neural engine. How will this RISC/ARM based computer chip hold up to the IBM hegemony? How will the M1 do on battery life? And especially, what the heck is the neural engine, and how does it help AI and Machine Learning. What is the common use-case for the M1 Neural Engine? Could a Mac Mini train real world Machine Learning models? Watch and find out!

I just want a simple explanation of what the neural engine is and what it does. This is not the video I was hoping it'd be.
-
Neural engine starts at 9:05
-
Very informative, thanks for such a great video.
-
that was so helpful thank you
-
Thumbs up for that type beat intro!
-
Thank you. Most informative and entertaining.
-
thank you for speaking on this!! it’s truly amazing what they did with that chip. the whole mac lineup is gonna be unbeatable
-
I have just watched this one video and i already find that this is an awesome channel!
-
Apple took licence in ARM a long time before the Iphone, it started with the Newton, when Apple bought not only Licences, but also a shitload of shares.
-
Super interesting topic thank you
-
Have you heard of Acorn ? It was the 'A' in ARM. We have Acorn and the BBC to thank for starting all of this :-)
-
"Silicone" is not the same as silicon.
-
11:57 my HomePod got activated when you said, "Hey Siri!" and answered the question you asked.
-
I'm really enjoying your videos. Your topics are exactly what I enjoy speculating about. Great Job! Could I ask you to do an episode about LTE, 5G and the new 6G network protocols. You could also comment on Dishy Mcflatface from Starlink if you have any info on that.
-
What do you think are some useful deep learning inference computations for consumers? Will is change anything? Or is like ARKit things that yea it's a thing almost nobody uses it.
-
The Neural engine’s performance isn’t 11 Teraflops, it’s 11 Teraops (trillion operations per second)
-
Very informative. I saw a video a couple of days ago about training ML models on an M1 (Apple's New M1 Chip is a Machine Learning Beast (M1 vs Intel MacBook speed test) and the trick was to reduce the batch size, which from my experience is a very bad idea since it also reduces the way data is aggregated. Basically, you are going to miss some key data combinations, if your batches are too small. I guess we'll have to wait for the next generation of machines to really tackle GPT3... :-)

I use silicone to seal my tub and silicon to run my Mac. I will try grinding up some old memory chips and putting them in the silicone to see if that makes a difference. You can't have enough caulk.

Can you please cover the black boxes within neural networks. Do computers actually make up their own intermediate all purpose secret languages for translation purposes and could such a language by useful for us to use (a computer's version of Esperanto?)?
