It's not the precision, it's avoiding O(n^2) physical connections per layer.

- breck 7y agoThat's my point. Swapping digital for analog gives up the ability to know the precise bits of a register but in return you gain a lot in efficiency.
- regularfry 7y agoThat's not what I'm getting at. It's not the nodes you need to worry about, it's the edges. If you've got two fully connected 100-neuron layers in a physical circuit, that's 10,000 wires you need to route, and they all want to cross each other. That's why nobody builds physical neural networks.
