I'm not much of a tech person and I have no idea if my observations are worth anything, but from where I'm sitting it seems computer technology isn't advancing anywhere near as quickly as it was from the 80s to the early 2010s.
The original Moore's law is dead and has been for a very long time, but the less specific trend of rapidly increasing computational power doesn't seem to hold much water anymore either. The laptop I have now doesn't feel like much of an improvement on the laptop I had four years ago at a similar price point. And the laptop I had six years ago is really only marginally worse.
So for those in the know on the relevant industry, how are things looking in general? What is the expected roadmap for the next 10 to 20 years? Will we ever get to the point where a cheap notebook is capable of running today's most demanding games at the highest settings, 144fps, and 4k resolution? Sort of like how today's notebooks can run the most intensive games of the 90s/early 2000s.
Pretty skeptic about this, at that point even stuff like time travel is on the table, like sending information in real time over inconceivably large distances literally violates causality laws, you'll be able to do stuff like pretend to be your own father
Even if they're talking about wave averaging stuff, you can't get meaningful data out of it. The Universe really, really wants the speed of light to be a hard limit. Really disappointing for my idea of running a DDoS attack on God.
We're trapped in a solitary prison here on earth and the warden is the speed of light
It's a limit, but it's dependent upon the compression of space time. :just-a-theory: we might find different densities and structures we aren't aware of once we start maturing the quantum tech.
