I first read this as "a soldered-on GPU" :O

Wouldn't an ASIC capable of executing hundreds of types of algorithms more or less just be a GPU anyway? At that point why not just use GPUs?

To achieve asic resistance, why not switch between a large pool of different algorithms sequentially, with their order and various parameters determined by the hash of the previous…

I doubt Adobe's content aware fill could replace someone's eye or a few of the other examples in the video.

How long until I can use this as a Photoshop plugin?

I'm hoping they can use some of this cash to make a better desktop client: 1. That can be minimized to the system tray. 2. That can be used when behind an http proxy server. 3. Doe…

The fine structure constant may not have the same value throughout the universe, but I'm still curious if its a measurement error. Changing it by much would prevent the synthesis o…

I find this response rather surprising. I can't speak about law, or the way things used to be, but in software dev I've worked with several women and more men. In my own experience…
