       Tech has flattened out so much in the last 20 years. Ok, there's Apple shipping 3-generations-previous Nvidia performance with lower power consumption, but there's no *alien technology*. No SGI CAVEs, no wild DEC Alpha CPU frequencies, just laptops and slightly nicer laptops and a few very nice laptops with a lot of RAM. And LLMs. Boring. Yawn.

       @theodric@social.linux.pizza where are my funky highly parallel optical computers that only have one physical structure of "cpu core" but which run a multiplex different colored wavelengths of light through that same structure simultaneously to get many virtual CPUswhere are my operating systems that let me fling an entire self-contained app and all of its data together between different machines running different CPU architectures, live, while it's runningwhere are my hardware-accelerated microkernel operating systems that are only a few instructions long because the CPU implements the task switching and capability security features itself

       @theodric@social.linux.pizza none of these are even far fetched. all of them have been possible at least since the 90s if not the 80s and all have had research done into them, and they are all more feasible now than ever

       @linear @theodric Hard to invent stuff when basic literacy rates are abysmal.
