Futurology

Now what would be really cool is if they take this idea, and add wires with different chemical properties to the mix. Then have certain volumes with different configurations of the different wires, using the same algorithm.

If that produces results where the configured location correlates between multiples of these devices, we could be looking at a possible implementation of application specific hardware. Companies wouldn't need to rent supercomputers, they'd buy these "Application Specific Brain On a Chip" devices, train them, then hook em up. Energy usage would plummet, and processing time would skyrocket.

This is really, really cool.
