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.

Or perhaps the proposition is that CS people (for example) can’t appreciate 
complexity that where the generative rules are unknown or obscure?   Sure that 
horse is fast, but how can I put a new engine in it?

 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 the corresponding representation in Life?  If one did that, 
would all the constructions be so forced that it was tedious and not 
elucidating of anything?  One is better to run “analog” and just relish the 
evident generative complexity?

I never cease to be surprised and fascinated watching simple rules generate 
complex structure and dynamics.

I had a lot of complex reactions to this but I won't waste anyone's bandwidth 
with my reflective rambling...

Thanks for sharing...
