He touches on this in his first video. The workaround is we are now getting into a regime of computing where exact reproducibility is not necessary. It will take a while though. It is still quite hard to remove noise for opamp circuits.
> we are now getting into a regime of computing where exact reproducibility is not necessary. I think that is a myth. Predictable, reproducible and explainable outcomes are the holy grail of computing, in particular in AI. If stochasticity is desired, there are methods to inject it, with precise control of the level of stochasticity and the distribution. This level of control is absent in analog computing. Device mis…
He's not totally correct because, like I said, the way we think of analog computers right now is likely not going to get us to where we need to be. Noise is a huge problem. Our own neurons do not seem to use continuous voltage, for example, and use pulse density coding, at least for some of their operation.
