Moravec's plots (from 1998!) are looking more and more like prophecies: https://www.jetpress.org/volume1/power_075.jpg https://www.jetpress.org/volume1/All_things_075.jpg
What I find incredible about the progress of computing power is that there isn't anything that actually makes Moore's law a given. Engineers keep discovering advances in materials science and manufacturing that enable advancements on such a consistent pace. Is this a fluke? Luck? What enables this?

#101One thing driving Moore's law is the every generation of computers is used to design/simulate next generation. It's a positive feedback loop.
