There is some guy(i forgot his name) woking on making NN's with
hardware...he has taken 3 transitors and did more then someone with a
few billion...the resion a computer canot truly do NN's is that it is
based on nothing more then 1's and 0's ...NN's are not based that way
but on a sliding scale...I have looked in to this a little and plan to
some more..I have thought about making a emulator that used 32 bit
number to represent 0 to 1(on a volt scale) and then make it
loop/add/subtract but i dont know just how to do it...might be a good
projeact for some one with more time on the subject....
