The subheader: >>Physicists are building neural networks out of vibrations, voltages and lasers, arguing that the future of computing lies in exploiting the universe’s complex physical behaviors. I.e., analog can do insane levels computing (it's had 13+ billion years to evolve, but digital computing is easier to think about, so, like the hapless drunkard looking for his lost key under the streetlight because it'll be easier to see (instead of where he most likely dropped it), we pursue digital because it's easier to reason about. TBF, digital does yield bigger results much more quickly and flexibly, but some really interesting problems will likely require further exploration of the analog computing space.
