I'm reading the book. By 'realist', Smolin means that science shouldn't be satisfied with wave function collapse, which he nicely illustrates with Schrödinger's thought experiment of a cat in box. He's not at a

Very exciting, would like to see an orchestration layer working with this.

Agree and would add that there is no reason that the algorithms need to be secret. Well, there might be some value in keeping the algorithm from the writers, but definitely none in keeping it from the editor/teacher. Also, the algori

Then you definitely succeeded! Those are the parts where I learned the most.

I'm just speculating, but I don't see why you can't quantize the output electrically. I guess I'm suggesting a mixed mode system, where an electronic cpu sends an array of values to an optical system that performs a calc

I love 'em, starting as a student when I switched from the ultra-quiet Butler library to always dully roaring Watson library to study. I cannot work with music in my ears, but loosley relevant background noise is just perfect when I ha

This is pretty cool. I don't know the nature of the calculation performed, but if it's an integral that took say 1000 clock cycles on a single core 1Ghz digital computer, and if it's true that the meta-material will scale dow

Definitely some heat equation or field/particle transformations possible here.

I didn't read it as breaking the second law, but rather a quantum theory of the second law.

I think it's more exciting than author admits. Sure, it'll increase confidence and adoption, but it will really mean that the machine can be queried like an expert on whatever corpus it was trained on.

I basically agree with the technological argument made in the post. Orchestration plays the role of OS, where resources are defined, managed and protected. Containers are something analagous to device drivers, presenting the underlying reso

I'm really sensing that the pendulum is swinging fast toward experiment and verification and away from theorizing and interpretation. Dark energy, dark matter and Hawking radiation/Unruh effect are among the testable problems faci

I think the coolest thing about the periodic table is that it's macroscopic evidence of the discrete, particle nature of atoms and the rest of the sub-atomic universe.

Thanks -- I'll have to put a bit more effort into this the next time I run a linux laptop.

All this is true, but not really fair. Count up the issue raised by the OP, and Nvidia really has the most power to stabilize the linux desktop. I read that gamers who want peak performance on Linux can get the proprietary Nvidia drivers ru

Yes. I look for something I can measure when I make this decision. Will it result in less code? Will it improve performance? Will users/customers care?

I'm neither a fan of new languages nor dsl's, so I'm in a minority? Rather than a dsl, I want a great API, and before apis I want compact and expressive utilization of existing apis.

This is really tragic and foolish. The taxes generated will far far outweigh the tax incentives offered. The local city politicians reversed their positions because they didn't get to bring up their pet projects in the negotiation ph
