What is this reference to? TPU also... A YouTuber or something?
Was early to this video a month ago thanks to the TPU community 🙌🏻 what an absolute legend
Great story and a humble guy. TPU
Omds! Check out $TPU…11 year old kid called Tom Lapsing actually called it earlier when BTC was $8 hahaha https://youtu.be/lcn6vIcgvbk?si=36ZaWpyTJgziUt5g
I get a different answer when I ask the same question Copy paste below The most powerful computer network on Earth is arguably the global internet itself, as it connects billions of devices and data centers worldwide, enabling distributed computing on an unprecedented scale. However, if you are asking about specific high-performance computing (HPC) networks or supercomputing clusters, here are a few contenders: 1. The Internet • The internet is the largest and most powerful network of interconnected computers, facilitating global communication, cloud computing, and distributed systems like cryptocurrency mining and AI model training. 2. The U.S. Department of Energy’s High-Performance Networks • ESnet (Energy Sciences Network): A high-speed network supporting advanced research and scientific collaboration among the world’s most powerful supercomputers, such as those at Oak Ridge, Argonne, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories. 3. Fugaku Supercomputer (Japan) • Located at RIKEN, Fugaku was the world’s fastest supercomputer (as of 2021) and operates at over 442 petaflops. • It is connected to a vast high-performance computing (HPC) network for scientific research. 4. Summit and Frontier (USA) • Frontier at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is the first exascale supercomputer, exceeding 1 exaflop (10¹⁸ calculations per second), making it the most powerful single supercomputer in the world. • Summit, also at Oak Ridge, was a leader in AI and molecular simulations. 5. Google’s TPU Clusters • Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) supercomputer clusters power deep learning models like GPT-4, AlphaFold, and Bard. • These are among the most advanced AI computing networks, leveraging high-speed interconnects to train massive machine learning models. 6. Distributed Computing Networks • BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing): A decentralized computing network that allows users to donate spare computing power for scientific research (e.g., SETI@Home, Folding@Home). • Cryptocurrency Networks: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other blockchains represent vast decentralized networks with immense combined processing power. 7. Amazon, Microsoft, and Google Cloud Networks • These cloud computing providers operate some of the largest distributed data center networks, hosting AI, enterprise applications, and large-scale scientific computations. Conclusion: If you define “powerful” in terms of raw computational capability, Frontier is currently the fastest supercomputer. However, if you consider sheer scale and impact, the internet and cloud networks (AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure) collectively form the most powerful computing system.
Excited to hear Tom talk about his experiences from then to now! Bullish for TPU
>This led to the creation of a Solana-based memecoin, $TPU, in his honor. I hope he's still alive and held
tldr; In 2011, a 12-year-old named Tom recorded a YouTube video explaining Bitcoin, then valued at $8, as a 'peer-to-peer virtual currency.' The video, unnoticed for 13 years, was recently rediscovered by crypto enthusiasts, who hailed Tom as a visionary. This led to the creation of a Solana-based memecoin, $TPU, in his honor. The video highlighted Bitcoin's decentralized nature and predicted government challenges. Since then, Bitcoin has become a trillion-dollar asset, and peer-to-peer transactions have expanded significantly, influencing finance and technology. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

You have to take a look on @firstbtckid on X, there is a meme coin too backed by him $TPU
