    For those interested in more details and quite mind blowing examples, here is a fascinating interview with Michael Levin (one of the researchers mentioned in the article). https://…

    I try to. One similar thing comes to my mind: generative adversarial networks (GANs). If I'm not mistaken this is along the line of your idea of composing single ML models to bigge…

    Like, a generative model is a source of _some_ information that is refined with gates (classification models) conditional on the generated information? The analogy to transistors a…

    So, client that was "offline" can just ask a participant to get the edits from his own last one (aka pull), send out bis own offline edits (push) and resolve from there, I See. Act…

    In Zed/CRDTs, these two seem synonymous to me since the OP's article is the first I read about CRDTs that I grasped, or so I thought ;) Doesn't the whole process assume that whenev…

    I could, yes. Yet it makes more sense to run what I need on my work laptop or if I ever really need it buy a could GPU on demand, since I'm not fiddling with the lower layers of ML…
