Not sure it is really related to the original post but I think this is what they are talking about: https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/01/04/131018/why-the-q...

Maybe the media headlines are sensational (as they always are), and it’s unfortunate that it leaked before the papers were officially released. But Jupiter emitting radio waves is …

A human is no more capable of solving the halting problem than a computer. And we aren’t doing some kind of magical logic when we humans create proofs. Sure naively general automat…

Intel 7nm doesn’t exist, and TSMC 5nm chips have been in production for months now.

Look at the history of CPU performance over the past decade. If we were to get a 20% IPC increase in desktop processors it would be a big deal.

There is a difference between parallelizable and embarrassingly parallelizable. The former means that you can get better performance by dividing the work among different processors…

>Like your PC and smartphone This isn’t necessarily true for your smartphone, because some ARM CPUs don’t do the speculative execution that Spectre/Meltdown exploit. For example, C…

What do you mean? What do you think the crisis is?
