Originally livestreamed at: https://twitch.tv/stephen_wolfram

Outline of Q&A
0:00 Stream starts
0:51 Stephen begins the stream
4:52 Any stories about your work for Thinking Machines?
56:25 ​c/c++ have # omp parallel for loop parallelization, but there's nothing quite for distributed variable storage
56:45 Have you seen those Combinator Graph reduction Machines?
57:13 Have you read "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!", "What Do Care What Other People Think?" and/or "Tuva or Bust!" ?
1:01:31 nowadays every modern computer has a connection machine, in the form of a GPU
1:02:20 Of course Stephen knows the person who started the internet archive haha!
1:13:45 Were there applications for the connection machine which used the interconnections? I think e.g. fluid dynamic is easy to implement with the vector computation of GPUs, only local neighbors
