(When I researched it, I was surprised and pleased to discover that glass fiber was invented in the early 19th century. Not that it would have stopped me if it hadn&#8217;t been, but it&#8217;s nice to know that that technology level is capable of producing optical fiber. And, unlike the early Victorians, my engineers have the ability to produce a reliable, maybe even coherent, light source.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Originally shared by Singularity Hub<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deep Learning at the Speed of Light on Nanophotonic Chips <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2sOU97z\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2sOU97z<\/a><\/p>\n\n      ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>        This interests me primarily because the primitive steampunk not-yet-computers in the Gryphon Clerks series use fiber&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[93],"tags":[94],"class_list":["post-22405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sff-thought-starters","tag-mike-reeves-mcmillan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22405\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
