One problem is that the speed of sound is not constant (or approximately constant) across the bandwidth you're interested in when the sound wave is traveling through solids and liquids.

I find it dubious that an ML model would outperform existing compilers (AOT or JIT) for Python and JS, both of which exist and have many engineer years invested in their design and testing. I find it even more dubious that someone would w

It does. It also obeys the Shannon-Nyquist sampling theorem when you take into account the clock frequency (you can't delay signals above half the clock frequency). It also exhibits nonlinearities that will create harmonic distortion.

AI still has subhuman performance for art. It feels like the venn diagram of people who are bullish on LLMs and people who don't understand logistic curves is a circle.

More "endless pains" then "endless gains" in all honesty. The point of software is to abstract complexity, not present it to users (or worse, create it). LaTex is just ugly and surprising. People want to write and see wh

That's insane and irresponsible. There's a reason that you can't make large "cash" purchases in physical cash - even with a certified or cashier's check you're limited to under $50k total or $100k/day

It sounds more like being involved in crypto than being publicly wealthy is a security concern. Which is unsurprising. It's almost like the crypto markets attract criminals!

University labs (with the right funding) can totally do this, it's just not cheap. My university sold all its fab hardware to another university the year before I was able to take a VLSI class which at the time, had a practical lab. *

The place where this really matters is if you're printing the string onto a physical device/surface (eg, the silk screen layer of a PCB) and fine details on some characters like 0/Q can be lost or things warped over time like
