I can understand the outsider art take.. I'm exploring a style of computing that undercuts so many deeply-embedded design assumptions (e.g., CPU, RAM, deterministic execution) that it's a big lift even for people who really want to get it.
It's a bit outdated, but FWIW https://direct.mit.edu/artl/article/22/4/431/2851/The-ulam-Programming-Language-for-Artificial-Life https://direct.mit.edu/artl/article/22/4/431/2851/The-ulam-P... is reasonably coherent and approachable, I think..
- svnt 4y agoThis is brilliant, and needed. Do you see opportunity in quantum computing given the more direct access to indeterminate state?
- livcomp 4y agoI'm a quantum skeptic when it comes to delivering supraclassical power in full systems at scale, and I expect biochemical computing machines will be likely useful sooner. But yeah, if quantum can one day deliver 'nearly locally deterministic' cycles in volume, I want to have an architecture that can use them.
