Would you comment more on squandering of determinism...?

Our software relies on fully deterministic hardware, which means that we stack probabilistic physics until we achieve building blocks with almost perfect determinism. However, we could do the error correction in software to exactly the degree we need it, and use cheaper hardware.

I don't understand how you are using the word * substrate* here. Help? Thx.

Neurons do what they are supposed to only half of the time. But I don't think that our mind is a neural phenomenon. It is a set of information processing principles that can be implemented on different substrates.

Determinism is great and a sign of simplicity. Most software is too complex and complicated even without leveraging quantum effects and AI.

If you assume a fully deterministic substrate, reasoning about software becomes much easier, but it means you cannot run it on biological neurons or leaky transistors.
