At its core, recursive self-improvement (RSI) is a process where an artificial intelligence system reviews, rewrites, and optimizes its own source code or architecture to become smarter.
The other observation is that the precision will almost always be higher in the accumulation step than in the multiplication step. This is specific to AI chips. You're multiplying low-precision numbers, and then when you accumulate, errors accumulate quickly, so you need more precision there.
Industrial engineering is essentially the study of people and machines. [It's about] how the two working together can create things that they couldn't create on their own. I've always viewed the supply chain to be a bit of a piece of art when it was done correctly. Because it's a symphony of…1000s of different components and parts coming together to create something.
