Black boxes of computing magic good... Please install 30GB+ of "trustworthy" tools to run a magical analysis over 100MB of data that was cleaned by hand to optimise signal over noise without selection bias... Don't get me wrong GPUs and FPGAs are amazing. But why people implicitly trust huge stacks of code to do all their work for them without at least verifying it works properly is beyond me. I've seen papers that should have been retracted due to "minor" numerical bugs in upstream code. (minor here because it's a "rare" side effect of using a tool that doesn't cause a security problem) Fine if you're working in sales or computing or an insurance company, crappy when you're trying to do science or healthcare with the same tools imo.
