How's analogue computing progressing as a more energy-efficient alternative?
- jacquesm 3y agoNot. Noise would kill it. Your answers would essentially be nonsense.
- ogogmad 3y agoIsn't ML moving towards low-precision floating point anyways?
- jacquesm 3y agoYes, but the whole reason that works is because a chain of such devices is still stable. A chain of analog components will just output random noise if it gets long enough. That's the main reason why digital won out over analog: repeatability even with long chains of computation.
