Future Timeline

Real-world performance typically doesn't scale linearly with cores and threads. From what I've seen, with constant frequency, same cache size per thread and same architecture like Zen 4, performance increases in various advanced, professional, useful workloads stack up approximately like this: ▪️ 4 ...

My current laptop has a much more durable metal chassis and it lasts significantly longer on a single charge than the previous one. It also features a camera that offers a better quality image despite being very small. OLED screens as well as 120 Hz are now becoming common.

From what I see, in the last 14 years people have been mostly (you could certainly find some exceptions) much more widely applying 2010 technology or ideas, instead of introducing some totally new, completely groundbreaking technology or ideas into useful practice on a wider scale (perhaps with the ...

Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts. The cashiers were simply moved off-site, and they watched you as you shopped.

WTF.

Real-life automation in practice. (>ლ)

Five good artists I've been following stopped uploading anything because of AI and because of theft. Nothing AI-related I've been counting on for 15-20 years haven't come true yet. Things I didn't want have come true. Stupid sh*t is being done all the time. I've also unfollowed multiple artists who ...

There may be 1 billion bipedal and quadrupedal robots by 2050. 10 billion by 2068. Also, by 2055 all vehicles will be 100% self-driving, with human only providing the destination. By 2060 all airplanes, ships, buses and trains will be 100% autonomous and automatic. By 2090 internal combustion engine...

What really matters in my opinion: lowest common denominator hardware (Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series S, i3-12100F, Ryzen 5500, RX 6600, RTX 3050 6GB) affordability of decent and improving hardware how cheap, good and convenient are software tools available for game creators what is the overall atmos...

How heavy or big could ships sailing through oceans get? Certainly not infinitely heavy and large. You can't possibly exponentially increase the size of ocean-going ships in a practical way after a certain point, especially exponentially. I'm not sure what that exact point is, but I guess that pract...

It's impossible for everything or anything to improve exponentially forever, but there is a lot of exponential improvement, change and growth in front of us. I think that quality of stuff will one day reach a maximum (in a different year for different kinds of things, aspects and features), but the ...

I made a long post, but I changed my mind (again).

To be honest, I dunno, I don't know the truth. It's beyond me to accurately ascertain or confirm. I'm not qualified for this.

Maybe this list can be helpful in comparing performance for GPUs: https://benchmarks.ul.com/compare/best-gpus
