4 of 5 of the biggest tech company founders were in their early 20s. So the biggest ideas clearly slanted towards young visionary founders, but the statistics do skew back towards older founders for all but the largest companies.

Look, it sounds like your implying compute colocated storage in the analog properties of your system (which is exactly what a synaptic weight is btw), on top of using extremely low bit precision. So explicitly calling your system totally no

In an integrated system at 50 tops/watt? How are you going to even access memory at less than 20 fJ per op? Like, you're specifically trying to hide the catch here. If we were to take you at face value, we'd have to also beli

>Which existing neuromorphic computers achieve 10^14 ops/s at 20 W? If you compare them to GPUs, those "ops" better be FP32 or at least FP16. The comparison is of 3 bit neuromorphic synaptic ops against FP8 pascal ops. Tha

Sure - I guess it's productive for me to answer why this doesn't disagree with my comment. By the time you get the software to hook up that kind of low bit precision (READ: neuromorphic) compute performance with extreme communicat

We certainly have enough compute at this point. 10^15 flops should be more than enough to run the brain by pretty much any analysis. Part of the issue is that evolution had at least 1 million such creatures over 52,000,000 weeks to improve

Yes! Sometimes you know that a solution will take a particular mathematical form, without knowing what the parameters will be. So you can write down a program (function) that can express any solution of that form, and use an optimization al

I always come to these hyperloop criticisms expecting to find some sort of fatal flaw in the physics of energy efficient supersonic travel. But to my surprise, they instead tend to be pessimists saying things like, "You'll never g

Their hardware is not the best anymore. Just visited the Palo Alto Apple store and I'm pretty sure a Microsoft Surface Tablet has a better keyboard than the new MacBook Pro. They really smushed down the keyboard to make the whole confi

Well I think my main point was just to say that the "hypocrisy" you mention actually has a rational backing. Not that the backing is bulletproof, but it's certainly more than a hypocrisy. You seem to most strongly disagree wi

The hypocrisy is only superficial. It seems at first thought that the government (being owned by the people) would be more trustworthy. But... Based on incentives, the government is incentivized to put as many people in jail as possible. Ap
