Re: [FRIAM] A pretty cellular automata video

A few years ago, I was invited to speak on procedurally generated music at the Atlas Institute in Boulder. There I met Laura Devendorf[1]. Her work with looms and smart textiles is pretty rad[2]. It would be pretty wonderful to have a couch where the upholstery renders cellular automata. [1] https

Re: [FRIAM] A pretty cellular automata video

A few years ago, I became interested in building myself an AC frog. At the time I started looking into IBM's TrueNorth[0] chips, and more locally, Knowm's memristor[1] chips. The dream was/is to get a bunch of their possibly flawed chips at a bargain price and (à la Von Neumann's "reliable organism

Re: [FRIAM] A pretty cellular automata video

Companies like Mythic and IBM have developed analog devices for energy- efficient deep learning. Noise and low precision are often used as part of ML training protocols anyway.Here they did careful side-by-side testing to quantify the impact of going analog. https://www.frontiersin.org/ar

Doh! I’m such a dolt, watching the pretty pictures. They’re both Turing complete, correct? Is there a natural sense of writing a program that, in that algorithmic representation, you know is somehow algorithmically deep in 110, which then becomes something algorithmically interesting under th

Re: [FRIAM] A pretty cellular automata video

In Siobhan Roberts' biography of Conway she summarizes how it took months (or perhaps years) to work through different sets of rules for the game of life. The goal was to find ones that produced Interesting behavior. This was done by his group, and by hand as computers weren't readily available. Y
