Very interested to see what the QBist's

(e.g. Chris Fuchs, Ruediger Schack, Jacques Pienaar, Blake Stacey, John B. Debrota etc)

think about this paper

Computational complexity and quantum interpretations

Congratulations to my advisor, mentor and friend Supriyo Datta, for being elected to NAS. He is a legendary researcher, scholar and human being.

Soon to be a member of the exclusive h-index>=100 club, too, Datta's contributions are both wide and deep.

Very well-deserved!

We are thrilled to announce the election of 120 members and 24 international members to the National Academy of Sciences in recognition of their distinguished and continued achievements in original research.

Congratulations to our new #NASmembers and welcome to the Academy!

Ising machines are promising for solving NP-hard problems. Si et al. implement an Ising machine consisting of 80 superparamagnetic tunnel junctions with all-to-all connections and apply it to a large-scale traveling salesman problem.Nature Communications

People really need to start paying attention to the probabilistic computing field.

We've gone from 'one day people may build a computer that uses stochasticity' to people actually implementing these ideas. It's cool stuff, and it forces you to think differently about computing.

We need to stop allowing naysayers with agendas to distract us on emerging tech. Engineering isn't science where bad interpretations can be a dogma that holds a field back for decades. If something doesn't work, it will die on its own. We should also be skeptical of the skeptics

This is a great story on the needless hostility and hurdles some people throw up against emerging computing ideas.

I've long been struck by the anger some have against neuromorphic computing. If you think a technology is a dead end, why bother attacking it?

When our paper on the first probabilistic computer with sMTJs came out in Nature (2019), I defended it against a vicious blog post from Scott Aaronson, because he didn't like a few statements in a News & Views Article someone else wrote about our paper.

Scott didn't have much…

I haven't listened to full conversation, since with Extropic it is hard to tell when it's memes and when it is serious.

Few comments:

1. The idea that computing need not be deterministic is something many of us have been pushing for years with dozens of papers including…
