At last, hardware built to run my code!

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Oh, finally a computer chip capable of running my code.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Look at you, using your noodle

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Ehh. Old 8-bit machines had no trouble with the veritable Gordian knots written by kids in their bedrooms back in the day, so any chip's gonna be fine.

That's not to say this chip wouldn't run it better...

2095: Humanity finally succumbs to the “almost indestructible” Flying Spaghetti Monster machines

PC Gamer regurgitating the abstract of a random research paper makes baby jesus cry.

Have chat GPT make it interesting.

I don’t know why but this makes me picture some dusty old-school newsroom with that one guy in all the TV shows smoking a cigar acting kind of like an asshole, and he looks up from the rough draft and while pointing at it with the cigar half-yells “have ChatGPT take a crack at it, maybe it’ll spice things up!”

Of course: baby Jesus hates popularization of science or engineering. Baby Jesus loves your money and obedience.

"Regurgitation without critical thought is fundamentally counter to the principles of science and engineering"

Regurgitation without critical thought is

called synopsis and is a vital part of "popularization of science or engineering"

Also sprach Zarathustra.

Could they electroplate the material with nickle? Nickle Iron batteries are the best, but nickle needs a lot of surface area inside the battery.

spaghetti

The factory must grow.

Oh wow how are they gonna kill women and children with this wonderful discovery

Certified idiot

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago (3 children)

And we'll never hear anything about it ever again.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

Maybe we will, maybe we won't, but at least it's tech news for a change. 😄

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I thought the same thing about soft, bend-able screens. But that became a fairly big thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

What is the next big thing you're thinking will fail? I gotta invest some pennies

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I'm pretty sure this internet thing is going to turn out to be a fad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

quantum computing once they break meaningful encryption, not 2 bit RSA. it'll be super overhyped, become super important, and then it'll settle down a bit once everyone switches to new encryption algorithms

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 days ago

Just like with cancer vaccines, fusion and certain incurable viral vaccines

This is interesting in a "how far can you launch a pumpkin using an air canon" way, not a "you only need to cool this down to -40C to make it super conduct" way. It's a fun experiment with nearly zero practical purpose outside of some very niche edge cases. Wearable computing is probably the only realistic one at the moment for a CPU that you can stretch a little and runs incredibly slow.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Wearable computing is a huge market if you can literally embed this into clothing.

Massive

The one advantage we have over the machines is that their chips are destructible. Can we stop this research?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No worries. This chip we can just eat.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

We can start farming these computers to feed our ever growing population. We just need to build a simulation they can live in, so they don't get stale.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

This is all just so when the police show up you can't just smash your phone.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

"almost" indestructable, i bet some sort of acid or lava could do the job if not a diamond laced sanding wheel.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Another win for the AI robots

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I compute-a da meatball

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

they should put that in clothing, there's probably tons of medical uses for this

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

So....

What's your spaghetti policy here?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

That's kinda interesting. My first thought on seeing that image, though, was 'ramen + autism = good!'

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

By stretchy do they mean slightly less brittle and thus slightly more impact resistant? Not that this is a problem we need solving. The biggest issues we need to solve in technology are batter and glass
