How was the person incorrect that speed increases won't continue forever? Pentium 4 was 3.8GHz and Ryzen 7 has 4.7Ghz some 20 odd years later?

Behind paywall, is there another link to the article?

As an engineering challenge, I love it.

Other than that, I would've understood this notion better in the 90's when we were all on dialups. Maybe my perception is skewed growing up and seeing in real-time a picture loading on a website?

Now, even with outdated hardware on an ok connection, even larger sites like WAPO (3MB) loads what I feel like instantly (within 5-10 seconds). If it loaded in 2 seconds or 1 second, I really don't know how that would impact my life in any way.

As long as a site isn't sluggish while you browse around.

I disagree that literacy is all about reading fictional books and I wish we could broaden it a little bit more, even at school.

This might be an odd take, but I never liked reading books and have read very few books in my whole life. I do love to read news articles, forum posts, magazines etc. because the format fits me.

Judging myself by my education level and career I'd say I did just fine without opening a single book.

It's a generational thing as well as what sites you frequent.

The term clanker is used very frequently on social media as well as different chat tools, especially as responses to obvious AI Agents and Bots.

It's more of an oligopoly than a cartel to be honest. It's more like how the telco industry operates. High barriers to entry with generous subsidies and incentives for the existing few providers.

What an amazing way of showcasing development, each with excerpts and notes highlighting expansion decisions.

Are there other examples of this?

Amazing!

I think they meant join in the sense of yet another study performed on mice with promising results without any indication if it will work in humans.

Come back after clinical trials.

Breakthroughs in Alzheimer's seems like the medical equivalent of breakthroughs in battery tech.

Local AI?

Why stop there? They should expand it to blockchain, 3d printing, VR and quantum computing to make sure it really tickles the executives' imagination...

They are all chords (C, F, G, Am).

C/Am, F, G are adjacent in the circle of fifths so they will all play nice in a progression.

That's hilarious. I'm imagining CRISPR as a tool to scramble your DNA every so often.

Wow, this is great advice. I never thought about it this way.

I put on my engineering hat and saw a "problem" to be solved and a "solution" being a finished game...

And it's mutual, I want to spend time with him on something he's passionate about, but I made it into a problem I can solve.

Thank you!

Thank you. Will look into Roblox studio

His vision is a “survival zombie game where you have to find and repair cars to escape the zombies”

Yeah I know, that’s how I started as well. Got some old 8086 and zero instructions on how to use it.

But he’s not curious in the same way I was, maybe it’s the time right now. Kids expect immediate gratification, or maybe he needs a bit of a push.

I looked at Roblox studio, that looks promising. Thanks!
