Re: [FRIAM] Newborn Heart Rate

So, Nick, would you have me believe that a 'side' is something a die can have, but not the possibility of being on a side? .-- .- -. - / .- -.-. - .. --- -. ..--.. / -.-. --- -. .--- ..- --. .- - . FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Zoom Fridays 9:30a-12p Mtn UTC-6 bit.ly/virtualfriam un/sub

Re: [FRIAM] Newborn Heart Rate

Nick, i hope this helps. Given a fair die that hasn't been thrown the probability that it will come up 2 (or any of the other particular values) on the next throw is 1/6 by definition of fair. Given that it has been thrown and ceterus paribus the a posteriori probability that it shows 2 given tha

Re: [FRIAM] Newborn Heart Rate

I thought the conversation about probability, category errors, and crossing boundaries between levels of organization was interesting and I was sorry I had to leave it. I want to say that to speak a die as having a probability of 1/6 of coming up 6 on a single throw is a category error because

Re: [FRIAM] A pretty cellular automata video

A few years ago, I became interested in building myself an AC frog. At the time I started looking into IBM's TrueNorth[0] chips, and more locally, Knowm's memristor[1] chips. The dream was/is to get a bunch of their possibly flawed chips at a bargain price and (à la Von Neumann's "reliable organism

Re: [FRIAM] A pretty cellular automata video

I haven't asked about pricing and availability, but Mythic has evaluation systems. https://www.mythic-ai.com/product/evaluation-system/ There are not commercially available devices from IBM yet. I'm not at liberty to give further details. I like this approach because it is obvious how to us

Re: [FRIAM] A pretty cellular automata video

Maybe I'm just incompetent today. But what PCM devices did they use? Internal IBM research devices? Or did they only use the simulator (https://github.com/IBM/aihwkit)? Are there commercial PCM chips yet? On 10/1/21 7:34 AM, Marcus Daniels wrote: > Companies like Mythic and IBM have developed an

Re: [FRIAM] A pretty cellular automata video

Companies like Mythic and IBM have developed analog devices for energy- efficient deep learning. Noise and low precision are often used as part of ML training protocols anyway.Here they did careful side-by-side testing to quantify the impact of going analog. https://www.frontiersin.org/ar

Re: [FRIAM] A pretty cellular automata video

Doh! I’m such a dolt, watching the pretty pictures. They’re both Turing complete, correct? Is there a natural sense of writing a program that, in that algorithmic representation, you know is somehow algorithmically deep in 110, which then becomes something algorithmically interesting under th
