It's hilarious; like AI found a whole new crop of people, but ones that aren't serious enough to do the background reading.
- dranka 8y agoSeems like a common theme with the explosion of new programming related projects. Everyone wants to be innovative, why check first when it's more fun to reinvent the wheel (now done in Rust :P)
- jszymborski 8y agoI think this this pretty unnecessarily (and uncritically) dismissive of this work. Sure, this work hasn't sprung from the primordial academic goop without influence, but the authors of this paper embraced old ideas to get faster and sparser FPGA implentations of neural nets. We have something now that we didn't before. The vague ideas were there, but parallel progress in other domains have brought us to the point where we're able to take principles, put them into practice, and learn from them.
