It’s basically like all the technological progress since the The Jetsons and Star Trek aired has been focused in one place. We still drive normal cars made out of normal metal and plastic to normal (or actually inferior) jobs until we die at a normal age, but it’s free to view and manipulate any piece of knowledge instantaneously and in a wide variety of public places that have open wifi.
Certainly true. My point was that right now you and I, are using an electronic computing machine that is able to compute from billions to tens of billions instructions per second. In addition (if it was too weak for you), it also has another computing chip dedicated for parallel computing that is able to run TRILLIONS of parallel instructions per second (a.k.a. the GPU).
This is probably one reason why I like programming.
I’m working on an FPGA project right now, fear me. /s
It’s always fun when you code something to tackle a hard abstract problem with brute force and you can listen to all your fans spinning up. The first time I did it I did feel like a god.
