    i didn't mean to nitpick and it's not nitpicky since there are now open toolchains (though not for xilinx) that you support verilog as a frontend http://www.clifford.at/yosys/ http…

    you don't need vivado to modify the hdl, you need vivado (or some other proprietary xilinx toolchain) to produce the bitstream which actually deploys to the fpga.

    i read polya's book as an undergrad to my detriment. 10 years later and having "solved" several problems, i can authoritatively say that it is not how difficult problems are solved…

    is this the first instance of an article title that ends with a question mark where the answer is in fact yes?

    Lol this is exactly what I preemptively alluded to - how we (as a culture) enable this kind of behavior. It becomes even worse when you realize that at least the ultra wealthy pay …

    Without reading the paper, I think you have it a little backwards - the IR doesn't itself allow for more general functions. More general functions are possible (in theory) because …

    you do realize that ENIAC, i.e. the computer that arguably helped the US win ww2, only had about 15 bits right?

    you're trying to say because a decoder maps n -> 2^n that it's comparable to a QC. lol. my friend you clearly don't understand interference and entanglement. btw the circuits in qu…

    lol doesn't this create perverse incentives - i.e. you're incentivized to actually make Julia slower sine it'll lead to being able to charge more for compute :p

    sure but it doesn't hurt that you have infinite data too (i.e. the thing most other ML research is bound by). like you can't argue that it's not a very comfortable corner to be in …
