"What are we racing about?"
The usual - ever bigger bank balances for the tech bros, screw the rest of us who are put out of a job in the meantime. But hey don't worry - AI will generate new jobs! For maybe 1 in 100 people who get fired because of it in a best case scenario.
What would it be a hole in?
Wow, command line tools! You mean like clang and trace? Yeah, standard stuff. You dont need a 2025 cpu to run themf. You need to get your head out of the apple marketing depts arse and get a clue.
What sort of developers? All the recent C++17 code I've written compiles and runs in reasonable time on a 2009 laptop with the latest version of slackware installed. But I guess if you're using some dog slow scripting language with bloated frameworks it might be a different story.
Amazon wants to sell products, third party companies rely on selling their products via amazon. Now you doesn't want you to buy products through them if it's via another app?
Take your pick.
Would someone, please, think of the children?!
designed a chip with 41 vertical layers of semiconductors and insulating materials
I love, that it is a prime number!
Xiaohang Li, a researcher at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia, and his team have designed a chip with 41 vertical layers of semiconductors and insulating materials, approximately ten times higher than any previously manufactured chip. The work, recently published in the journal Nature Electronics, not only represents a technical milestone but also opens the door to a new generation of flexible, efficient, and sustainable electronic devices. “Having six or more layers of transistors stacked vertically allows us to increase circuit density without making the devices smaller laterally,” Li explains. “With six layers, we can integrate 600% more logic functions in the same area than with a single layer, achieving higher performance and lower power consumption.”
... is going to do a lot of damage. Anyone want to guess how much a bullet weighs?
Wtf do you think a lambda function ultimately ends up as on a von neumann machine? Whatever you want to call it , if A do this else do Y is required for any kind of universal computing device.
" And an algorithm with lots of if-then-goto structures is still a mathematical algorithm"
No it isn't. The logical comparison may be mathematical but the then-goto part is not. Turings machine had to add that to be universal. If all it could do was arithmetic it would have been next to useless.
"And the physical models of computer games are either incomplete, or they don't contain Arithmetic"
Irrelevant. The simulation can be presented to an NPC inside it any way the authors of the simulation want. There is NO way to prove from inside the simulation that it is or isn't a simulation.
Would be interesting watching Florian giving a biology lesson
Its not just a dumb oscillator, it virtually has its own mind.
Even with our current tech we can simulate tiny universes and set up the laws of physics any way we want, see any FPS game. Just because something is mathematically inconsistent doesn't mean its logically inconsistent, after all, the vast majority of computer programs contain a whole load of if-then-goto structures to provide functionality which could not be achieved just by using some pure maths algo. There's nothing so say that any simulation wouldn't have hard coded rules that say "if one of the NPCs looks here do this , otherwise do that"
Speaking as someone with a couple of mercury fillings I'd be interested to know what they're doing to me. Its known that grinding and chewing can slowly abrade the filling and the particles are only going one way. Apparently this isn't considered a problem. Uh huh. How often have we heard hand waving expedient answers like that before.
