World's first 'thermodynamic computing chip' reaches tape out — Normal Computing's physics-based ASIC changes lanes to train more AI

CN101 forgoes deterministic logic to train more AI at lower energy budgets

I haven’t heard about thermodynamic computing before, but it sounds pretty interesting. As IEEE Spectrum explains , “the components of a thermodynamic chip begin in a semi-random state. A program is fed into the components, and once equilibrium is reached between these parts, the equilibrium is read out as the solution. This computation style only works with applications that involve a non-deterministic result … various AI tasks, such as AI image generation and other training tasks, thrive on this hardware.” It sounds almost like quantum computing to my layperson ears.

    The EU already wants to implement the zero-knowledge proofs for age verification
    Its likely also one of the best solutions if i understood it correctly because the EU would only know that one recieved a bunch of certificates(?) (single use) but not where it got used and the website would not get any personal data

    Zero-knowledge proofs are awsome, look them up
