Lightspeed Computer Invented

Moreover, when the quantum computer breaks, it breaks in every which way possible simultaneously.

maybe, he's AI.

 

Is it possible woole is just lines of code from some programmer trying to get it to pass the Turing Test?

 

Goldilocks is the programmer for the entire universe, and she's got the mind of a two year old, and her complaint dept is a recording of laughter!

 

You're out of your goddamn mind.

But you seem so happy and enthusiastic!

 

Still Waiting On Moses!

Goldilocks confided the time has come,
Pushing her cart, steadily down the road,
There is more in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Mark Twain knew enough to know his limits,
More in our little corner of the great big world,
More in all the far flung corners of the universe,
More in the empty voids, between our universes,
More beneath the hardest rock and bitterest snow,
More beyond, the most panoramic infinite horizons,
Than contained in any widely recognized road maps!
More than any truck stops and road signs may convey,
Some of the best maps all remain, part of the landscape,
With or without a map, gravity tells me which way is down!
Mosying on the FarSide of the long since forgotten and farfetched,
Hawking, her Cosmic Fortuitous Fruity Walking Vegetable Stand!
When you don’t know where you’re going you are already there!
TwilightZone, still a glimmer, in your distant rearview mirror,
Way far out, beyond any ridulously infinite outter limits,
You are either smarter than a damned chicken,
Or you are the damned chickenshit chicken!
Little Goldilocks Murphy Knew Chickens!
Serving fruity little fried green tomatoes,
Missouri legally recognizing chickens,
As still being, walking vegetables.
And all road maps are useless!
Living in Bum-Fuck Egypt!
Still waiting on Moses!​

 

20 years ago I heard of a computer that would load load up instantly, no waiting for applications to load.

20 years later I still walk away from my computer while it loads up

Light speed? Laughable.

 

Fifteen years ago the semiconducting industry was derailed by the unexpected discovery of a new physical limitation in silicon that forced everyone to convert to much more complex multicore processing. If not for that, Star Trek would already be a reality. It was a huge setback, and the result has been that the entire industry has been preparing ever since for when they finally mastered multicore processing, which they have finally begin to do. Now all that research is coming together at once. Within a few years, even conventional supercomputers will have the capacity of the human brain, and they will continue to become magnitudes more powerful. There is no way to predict that which is by definition beyond imagination.

 

When Microsoft releases an OS that can actually figure out a convenient time to do all it's annoying updates...

be afraid,
be very afraid.

 

No dude, its cheap ass companies stingy with their servers.

2018, I'm paying for 20Mps fibre optics, and still have to wait for servers of certain cheapass companies to send back a 40kb web page and the freakin page to load

 

Their new AI doesn't require updating, not often at all. Computers are about to become very different types of machines than you are familiar with.

 

You are like how 1968 imagined the year 2001 would be like.

 

Hey it might have been if they kept NASA funding at 60's levels

 

Well except for a monolith being buried on the moon.

 

It looks like a physical neural network using logic gates that uses light as opposed to a software one. Essentially it works by just shining lights through each layer, two true inputs in an AND gate would output false, one true and one false would output false.This type just replaces light with high and low voltages. One disadvantage to this is that it cannot be reprogrammed, the inputs just change so it will give out different outputs.

Artificial neural networks do exist and can usually be modelled in almost any multi-purpose programming language such as C++. To give an example of a simpler type of AI, air conditioning uses fuzzy logic to alter the temperature based on the temperature of the room, working on definitely not, doubtful, perhaps, probably and certainly instead of binary values. This can be achieved using a series of if statements.

 

You can't actually reprogram the hardware on an ordinary processor either. These logic gates don't include waveguides, but there is a concerted effort under way to produce the first full scale optical computer using advances in waveguides which can physically reroute signals. It would slow the computer down enormously to use mechanical waveguides, but there are alternatives.

 

If you think of it in terms of layers, a computer has a hardware layer, operating system and applications. Whilst the computer itself cannot be 're-wired', software changes can be made to the OS and apps. This component doesn't have a software layer that can be altered, only the inputs and outputs change so the part cannot be told to operate in a different way.

 

They're logic gates, with each one being interchangeable according to what you want to process in what order. All you have to do is reroute the signal to the appropriate gate, which can be done electronically with an ordinary computer. A gross oversimplification in this case would be that one gate merely adds two signals, for example, while another subtracts them. What even the logic gates require is their input which can be directed to them using optical waveguides controlled by a conventional computer.

 

There is an existing semiconductor technology that could in theory be programmed to reprogram itself, FPGA processors.

 

I hope this technology doesn't end up destroying us...
