Computing Evolves: P-bits Cut AI Energy Costs

Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy

Send us a text

Welcome to Heliox, where we illuminate tomorrow's technologies with warmth and wonder.

Today we're exploring a fascinating shift in how computers think - moving from the rigid world of ones and zeros to something that looks more like the beautiful uncertainty of nature itself. Just as a butterfly emerges from its chrysalis, traditional computing is transforming into something more organic, more efficient, and perhaps more profound.

Join us as we delve into probabilistic computing - where randomness becomes a feature, not a bug. We'll discover how this elegant approach mirrors patterns we see in everything from falling leaves to firing neurons, and how it might just revolutionize AI while using a fraction of the energy.

Whether you're a tech enthusiast or simply curious about where technology is heading, this episode offers a gentle introduction to a revolutionary idea that's both powerful and poetic in its simplicity.

So settle in, and let's explore how the future of computing might be less about precision and more about possibility.

Curated, independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, evidenced-based, clinical & community information regarding COVID-19. Since 2017, it has focused on Covid since Feb 2020, with Multiple Stores per day, hence a large searchable base of stories to date. More than 4000 stories on COVID-19 alone. Hundreds of stories on Climate Change.
Zoomers of the Sunshine Coast is a news organization with the advantages of deeply rooted connections within our local community, combined with a provincial, national and global following and exposure. In written form, audio, and video, we provide evidence-based and referenced stories interspersed with curated commentary, satire and humour. We reference where our stories come from and who wrote, published, and even inspired them. Using a social media platform means we have a much higher degree of interaction with our readers than conventional media and provides a significant amplification effect, positively. We expect the same courtesy of other media referencing our stories.
