Please, no Moore: 'Law' that defined how chips have been made for decades has run itself into a cul-de-sac

Re: Yes but...

And just to spin off to an ai tangent..

This is why we need to program AI/ robotics to feel & understand pain - as a control mechanism, as well as a method of immediate/ physical feedback sensing. After all what is physically triggered pain other than a highest priority feedback message that can cause involuntary action (and emotional pain an evolved analog from physical + empathy).

Of course given we (generally) abhor inflicting unnecessary pain on others how well does that match up with creating a sentient device?

I wonder if Google has done any research on the topic...

I'll believe in a world of linux desktops when pulse audio doesn't get munted every time I look at it funny.

I'm lucky to get 2 speakers working, let alone the 5.1 my motherboard and speakers can do. Currently it is using the left front and sub as the 2 channels - that is when I don't open chrome to watch YouTube and get garbage through... and the sound is then stuffed until I cold boot the pc.

Sound has been a solved problem on windows and mac for what... a couple of decades?
