        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

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

          Also sprach Zarathustra.

      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…

          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

    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.

    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
