- > In contrast, p-bits flip between 0 or 1 with a tunable probability.
Isn't this basically an ADC (except the tunable probability isn't an input voltage)? Is this kinda-sorta a new form of analog computing?

- It's not mentioned in the article, but this hardware architecture may be better suited for brute-forcing password/crypto/key cracking than traditional computing architectures.

- Hari Seldon approves
- I absolutely love the photo of the computer at the top of the article. Not at all what I thought I was going to see from this headline.

- we all know the answer is 42
- Best LLM ever.
- When can I get an API key!
- I'm ignorant. What problems is this good at solving?
