For some reason the clickbait title ender "and the XYZ May Surprise You" Bothers the hell out of me. I don't know why, it just feels so disengaged of my time. Makes me feel like they think I'm a child. Is there any research as this?

I cover that at the end. I was just having fun...

Oh, and before you complain about the title, most of my titles are boring by design. I finally got a chance to do something different, so I took it

We can get more transistors by going 3D, but what about the heat? The real tragedy has been the degradation (although not yet death) in Dennard Scaling.

And even then Landauer's limit will begin to rear it's head around 10,000-100,000X lower power. Reversible computing is an option, but does not cover I/O and will furthermore set us back in performance and transistor efficiency.

At this point, I assume any article that relies on click bait titles are lacking in depth.

"Will this vegetable cure cancer?" No, it will not.

"This new productivity hack may surprise you!" Chances are it's just some repacking of some old idea and won't surprise me.

A specific vegetable may not cure cancer but staying away from Class 1 carcinogens certainly will prevent it: things like Asbestos, Plutonium and Processed Meat.
