So per your logic the Windows 10 operating system was created by random iteration of x86 opcodes over a lengthy period of time? Huh?

What in the world are you talking about?

This thread of discussion is about the computationally intractable nature of 4^1,000,000,000

Got math? Maybe post a proof?

Haha, so biological neuronal processes utilize a method of gradient descent? Perhaps you should submit your findings to the Nobel Prize Committee :)

Again, this thread is about the computationally intractable nature of 4^1,000,000,000.

Got math? A proof maybe to support your statements?

Got math?

Your argument is essentially the anthropic principle, the entire "we are here because we are here" thing. Even the Second Law of Thermodynamics counters stochastic evolutionary strategies, the math behind non deterministic molecular Darwinism is simply not possible given the youth of the universe.

Again and irrespective of how much genome information was there initially and what it eventually became, you are still talking about a final optimization problem of 4^1,000,000,000. Even one tenth of that amount of the human genome is an unfathomably large number to randomly iterate to given the generally accepted statistics cited above. The math behind stochastic molecular Darwinism doesn't work out at all.

In classical computing maybe. And with phase space analysis millions or even tens of millions of events can be visualized for emergent attractors that would indicate an underlying pattern.

Perhaps that language is time. Literally no research has been done into the analysis of precise time series observer effect data.

I sincerely doubt that anything is truly random, there has to be some type of cosmic drummer behind the scenes biasing certain events. Case in point is the conflict between molecular Darwinism and the numbers associated with the human genome. Approximately one billion nucleotide bases and with four different nucleotide bases in each location == 4^1,000,000,000 combinatorial explosion, a number waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay larger than 10^120 universal complexity limit, 10^80 stable elementary particles in the universe, and the generally accepted age of the universe ~10^40. The monkeys typing Hamlet thing is computationally intractable.

Well this is where the law of large numbers comes into play. Flipping a coin half a dozen times is likely several points away from 50:50; randomness isn't an emergent property of a coin flip dataset until hundreds or perhaps thousands of flips later assuming a precise coin flip mechanism and fair coin. So randomness at least within this context is a function of time.

Little if any empirical research has been done into the quality of entropy associated with repeatedly observing a quantum state. Pretty easily accomplished using an RTOS (RT_PREEMPT or Xenomai) with GPIO sampling, and with n-dimensional phase space analysis of that dataset to determine if any patterns emerge. There are plenty of tools from the field of chaos theory and nonlinear dynamical systems analysis to prove or disprove the fundamental nature of quantum randomness with.

And the likely reason why this is not happening (in the commercial space at least) is FDA regulatory hurdles in having a product (and probably an entire company) shut down for making "unapproved" medical claims.

I've got a set of Bose Hearphones, about $500, and which use the Bose Hear app. You can modify treble and bass but that's about it; even so if you are hard of hearing then the default iPhone sound profiles can be used to fine tune the in-ear audio and they work well as a low cost hearing aid. Same deal with my AirPods. Today Tim Cook could wave a magic wand and literally cure deafness for hard of hearing iPhone + AirPod users; ain't happening.

No question Bose Hearphones with the Bose Hear app or AirPods with a complementing iPhone app could easily perform spectral analysis with an easy-to-use-equalizer, to increase and/or decrease the amplitude of specific areas of the auditory spectrum; this would be ideal for tinnitus patients and would without question put the entire hearing aid industry out of business. Current generation hearing aids are about $15 worth of analog parts that they are selling for thousands of dollars each, just by virtue of having invested in some horseshit FDA regulatory process when infinitely more capable technology has been available to hearing impaired individuals for well over two decades at this point.

This is not complex, and what sucks about tinnitus is that it affects each person differently which in turn requires specific auditory tuning for each individual. But companies such as Bose or Apple that have the technology with more than sufficient computational horsepower to replace hearing aids simply refuse to do so, for whatever reasons that are likely FDA regulatory hurdle in nature.

On a side note as to OP, $300 for a Teensy-based hardware platform with BT stack is f'ing outrageous, probably worse than what the actual hearing aid vendors are ripping off.

Who cares, Google is behind it and it's actually quite well done from a network traffic obfuscation / confidentiality perspective. They have a formalized working group and doing it the old fashioned RFC-spec-development way would likely slow down QUIC's adoption by several orders of magnitude.

Flutter QUIC + ICE NAT traversal + P2P distributed key value store == a completely decentralized framework for getting rid of mobile telephone providers and abolishing all forms of censorship.

No reason for cellular towers anymore when you've got 20+ handsets around you within ad hoc WiFi or Bluetooth range for decentralized mesh networking.

Jitter is always introduced by non-RTOS operating systems that don't have a guarantee for preemptive realtime scheduling. The kernel scheduler introduces jitter, supervisory processes introduce jitter, etc. And an easy test to see the effects of this is to try to control a servo motor with a GPIO pin without RT_PREEMPT or comparable RTOS.

Simple fix would be an RT_PREEMPT-linked Linux sound player.

For one player...

$16/hr X (VM|microservice thread) could become astronomical profit.

Er, all it takes is one ingested radioactive particle to damage DNA and spawn cancer. Radioactive particles from Fukushima are showing up in automobile AC filters on the West Coast, and the media hasn't said much about the MOX fuel in Reactor 3 that many experts now theorize could go critical based on the volatile (and largely untested) combination of plutonium and uranium that MOX consists of. And Japanese culture is about the worst possible mindset to deal with this cleanup effort, they are more concerned about saving face and avoiding embarrassment in front of the international community for having made the genius decision to build a bunch of nuclear reactors, some of which are using experimental MOX fuel, on top of the Shionihara Fault. They haven't even located the melted fuel in these reactors yet, and one misstep could easily result in another meltdown or worse yet a critical MOX mushroom cloud that kills millions if not hundreds of millions of humans as the result. Never mind the 850,000 tons of contaminated water they are now simply going to discharge into the ocean.

...for static ad hoc networks. GPS-based geographical routing would be a dynamic, constantly changing optimized mesh.

That's pretty much the intent and role of IPFS though. Based upon current saturation statistics for mobile telephone handsets (which has to be 95%+ for every person 15+ years old in the USA at least), you're only a few meters away from another handset that's likely GPS enabled. Why in the world do we need centralized mobile carrier infrastructure when mesh-based P2P comms are now possible over ISM band networks? An IPFS + 900MHz P2P mobile chipset addon + GPS-based geographical routed P2P communications transport for handsets (and rapid adoption of the same) is all it would take to eliminate the mobile carriers. This could be as simple as a BLE-enabled device or phone case...

Or in the alternative, the airline that purchased the jet opted to not pay for key safety features...

Paywalled article so didn't read.

The public's conception that there is a competitive bid process in the federal government is laughable. Sole source justification is the magic phrase and trillions of dollars of government contracts have been awarded under this auspice.

Back when I worked in the Beltway it was called FAR-12 evasion and you paid for quality counsel to advise you on all of the legal ways and means to have lunch with GSA employees for purposes of being awarded with sole source justification contracts under FAR-12.

Huh? The vast majority of chemotherapy regimens, such as alkylating agents, antimetabolites, anthracyclines, cause damage to and interfere with DNA replication.

From the duh department. By definition a cellular toxin damages DNA, and cancer is the product of damaged DNA. Still surprised this article made it past the big pharma media gatekeepers.

A really poignant writing, thanks.

In his circa 1985 book Body Electric, Robert O. Becker M.D. cites to several published research studies he conducted related to acceleration of mitosis by electromagnetic fields.

Also, does this have support for generating monolithic (preferably statically compiled) binaries for the compiled model?

Any plans on message passing / clustering with this, so that multiple hardware nodes could be connected to the same computational graph over the network?

Assuming also that this has support for AVX-512 acceleration?
