I thought it was so they can name make the booster body thinner relying more on the fuel for structural rigidity.

It has not. I have family impacted who still does not have power. One week will be tomorrow.

I still do not have power but Duke Energy is getting it back on one neighborhood away from me right now. Hoping tomorrow is our turn.

You're probably getting replies like that because it's a bit of an odd question. Academic research isn't really done to achieve a particular purpose or goal. The piratical benefit literally is academic.

[dylan604 → deelowe]

It's also one of the first questions from people that very much are criticizing, so even if it was an sincere question it will be lumped together. Not recognizing/addressing this when posing the question does nothing to prevent it from the lumping.

The piratical benefit may be particle cannons? Yarrgh!

I read the paper. Superhuman is a metric they defined in the paper which has to do with how long it takes a human to do certain tasks.

Does this make any sense, really? - Define some common words and then let the media run wild with them. How about we redefine "better" and "revolutionize"? Oh, wait, I think people are doing that already...

Well, Microsoft certainly is running into some challenges at this point: https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/microsoft-open-three-...

If nothing else, physics starts to become a limiting factor.

[Loughla → deelowe]

I legitimately want to live in a world where fundamental physics is the only limiting factor to our work. That sounds like the future.

[bookofjoe → Loughla]

The fundamentals of physics can change.

i want to live in a world where super science is invented and we get sci fi tech

I bet Intels hubris is too strong to allow them to do that these days.

I mean, it's very likely next gen consoles will feature AI hardware. The PS5 pro is already touting it.

[xcv123 → deelowe]

The GPU is "AI hardware", and current PS5 already has it.

[j_maffe → xcv123]

Custom architecture optimized for ML is a thing.

[deelowe → xcv123]

That's a bit reductionist.

Intel didn't take gaming seriously until very recently. They stayed focused on productivity focused applications well past the time when netbooks became viable for most use cases.

Having recently switched jobs, I was again reminded of just how terrible most interviewers are. The more senior the interviewer, the more terrible.

I grew up in a very religious and rural community. I get sleep paralysis fairly often these days but the first time I recall getting it was in my early teens. My parents thought the devil was trying to possess me. Fun.
