Analog Neuromorphic Chips and Salsa

There’s no genius so profound
It can’t be pantsed by language.
It’s known as device mismatch.

Spiking neural networks work
With the chips to compensate.
Continuous analog

Computation over time
Would represent the salsa
In this analogy—if

It were an analogy,
Not some tragicomedy
Where the gravedigger turns up

To get a few wisecracks in
Before burying the next
Dramatic set of corpses.

You’ll need to speak by the code
To correct for varying
Voltages, explains one doomed

Fiction to the other one.
I’m not one now to mock, but
Can chips lie when chips are down?
