I'm not sure if that is the right metric for research groups. If someone said "the startup has a promising cure for cancer in trials" would you ask if it had produced revenue yet?
- jomamaxx 10y ago"the startup has a promising cure for cancer in trials" A) First, I would ask what they likelihood they have in making through trials, what is the real 'cure rate', what is the operational cost of the therapy, what kind of cancer it cures (obscure?). B) They are not curing cancer. They have some intangible AI technology that doesn't necessarily or may not ever do anything. As far as 'cutting the cooling bills on infrastructure' - there's no reason to think that that was an issue they were looking at solving, and used the tech as an 'example case' - but that some other, normal technology couldn't have solved th e problem just as well. B) To confirm the ridiculous hype around this etheric technology, somebody, here on HN is equating this 'black box' to 'curing cancer'. Please.
