Date: September 4th, 2022 7:36 PM Author: Transparent mentally impaired institution I dunno what kind of shit you people are buying but the general trend has been toward more longevity, not less.
Nowadays it's common for people to go 4-5 years (or even more) on a smartphone. Literally nobody was doing that in 2011.
Similar story on PCs. You're basically golden if you have an SSD and a decent amount of RAM. I guess that rubric doesn't hold if you're a gamer. But otherwise you're gonna get like 10 years on a computer. |

Date: September 4th, 2022 10:08 PM Author: Transparent mentally impaired institution Uh wtf is this post? If you're arguing in terms of raw transistor count... lmao. Duh. No shit.
But if you're discussing what actually matters - relative improvements in computing power over time, i.e. Moore's law - it's the complete opposite. Moore's law has slowed down in the last decade, not accelerated. |
|
Date: September 4th, 2022 10:54 PM Author: underhanded yellow pistol Moores law slowed down by about a half year starting in 2012 sure. Transistor count still went from something like 50 million to 1 billion from 2002 to 2010 and then 1 billion to 50 billion from 2010 to 2020. Also, given that moores law is a rate, and the rate has been exponential, it doesn't have to accelerate for there to be a bigger increase in overall power. In terms of raw computing power, the benchmarks increased a shitton. How is this not a relative increase in computing power? The problem seems to be just that computers were so weak in 2000 that the jump from 2000 to 2010 made a huge difference to the average user along with improvements like introduction of smart phones and 4G.

But since then there have been all sorts of significant (if incremental) gains across every level of technology. Hell even cancer meds have made big strides in the last few years. People who in 2010 would be given 1 year or so to live are living 4-5 years with a decent quality of life for many disease states. It’s possible that at least some forms of previously death sentences cancer doseasss will be treatable an liveable in the way that HIV is with tumor suppressing drugs in our lifetime.

Date: September 4th, 2022 9:17 PM Author: zombie-like parlor Believe it for not those years mean a lot for the patients and their families. Note most people that get cancer are older anyways. Difference between dying at 69 and 74.
And yes, I think that extending life is something we should in fact incentivize. As opposed to selling ads on Instagram or delivering you slop food. |

Date: September 4th, 2022 10:42 PM Author: indigo cerebral trump supporter not sure how close it is, but there are certainly a lot of potential applications in biology and medicine. deep learning can be used to simulate a lot of cellular machinery besides protein folding, which makes in silicon drug design much more feasible. DeepMind's stated goal is the simulation of an entire cell, but i'm not sure they need to stop there. why not an entire organism, or at least organs?
i think the slow pace of medical research could change in a short period of time if these tools get good enough. no need to endlessly debate stuff like the root cause of alzheimer's if they can just simulate the actual disease with whatever precision they want |

The rate of progress around 1900 was certainly greater than the rate around 2000. And in the mid 20th century we got all kinds of new stuff that made people's lives easier -- laundry machines and dish washing machines and air conditioning and so on. Not to mention nuclear power and space rockets.
As far as physical, non-digital technological development, we seem to be plateauing. Or else it is classified. |

Sort of like how an iPhone is an iPhone (though, current one is many times faster), one version of the Xbox was replaced with another (faster one). Wireless internet (and most home internets) are all faster. There have been significant improvements in and additional applications of AI. Obviously EVs are new and much improved. Self-driving is new and much improved (my 2013 Jeep has adaptive cruise but many cars will now steer for you and change lanes, they'll park your car for you and so on).
