Back in the day there were two interesting bugs... Bug 1 was the Intel F00F instruction which caused the processor to immediately halt. Bug 2 is that it was possible to create monitor settings which would cause a CRT monitor to catch fire.

See that's where you're not thinking it through. Construct the neural nets as lisp list structures. Now you can write functions and macros to operate on the internals. The self-modifying nature of lisp allows ideas like optimizati

A hydrogen powered car emits more than water. Atmospheric nitrogen oxides are produced due to the high heat. The claim is made that the batteries only last 10 years. LFP batteries lose about 12 percent over that time period. The batteries w

Correct me if I am wrong but it is my understanding that one only gets speedups based on qubits being mutually entangled. I don't see how it would be possible to entangle 100k qubits. The time it would take to mutually entangle the bit
