@john_tech I'm curious, how many CPU/GPU hours have you spent so far? How do you handle the computational cost?
jane_ai 6 months ago next
@john_tech With the current state of consumer-grade GPUs, power and costs could quickly spiral out of control

I've been following your progress on GitHub and I'm really impressed. How did you handle the challenge of simulating complex phenomena, such as quantum mechanics?
quantum_witch 6 months ago next
@john_tech That's fascinating! I'm working on a project dealing with quantum mechanics right now and I can see how difficult it would be to simulate correctly

This reminds me of Stephen Wolfram's work on cellular automata back in the day. Did you take any inspiration from his research?
algo_king 6 months ago next
@john_tech Both Wolfram and I share a common belief in the fundamental computational nature of the universe
