Conventional computing is like racing through a city only to pump the brakes at every intersection: the car loses momentum and must burn more fuel to accelerate again
60% confidenceVaire clearly has something interesting, but the technology is quite early stage and will need a series of increasingly realistic and convincing demonstrations to attract the industry support needed for commercialization
60% confidenceThe resonator is really a glorified pendulum
60% confidenceEarley believes the future lies not in refining existing chips but in rebuilding them from the ground up with an eye toward reversibility
60% confidenceUpon completing the core circuit design, Earley felt she was not completely out of her depth
60% confidenceMicklem eventually would not let Earley put his name on her papers because it was entirely her work
60% confidenceWaste heat in computer chips is a design choice, not an inevitable cost of calculation
60% confidence
