The more hardware gets faster (not better)

The worse software will get.

This is why I'm creating my own CPU architecture. Haskell-based with hardware-level lambdas and GC. Lazy thunks and arbitrary-precision numbers are primitive data types. Everything will compile to Haskell, including a garbage-collected C implementation.

Processor time is much less valuable than developer time, so this is a good thing.

Make it Symta based and port Sparrow On Symta OS to it and you will have the CPU of the future.

Garbage collection in C is easy: throw C away and you'll have no garbage.

(This method is patented though)

New physical models of computation are emerging. Current ideas will be obsolete.

Jacking hunderds of cores on a board, asynchronous processors, optical processors, biological computers, revival of analog computers for specific computations.

Quantum will take more time.

“So, even though the animals were on different continents, with the resulting noisy transmission and signal delays, they could still communicate,” said Miguel Pais-Vieira, a postdoctoral fellow and author of the study. “This tells us that it could be possible to create a workable, network of animal brains distributed in many different locations.”

This is also a computer. There are a lot of things that compute.

So many tasks are not CPU bound but IO bound, either through transferring data through the different memory locations or through a computer network.

Here is progsql, it uses bubblesort and took pretty much no time at all to implement, actually it's just a wrapper around /prog/, but since it took about no time at all of developer time, it follows that it will bring you great revenue, more so than MSSQL Server, presuming the programmers got paid writing it.

Someone will argue "oh but my ruby on rails/fioc/java(shit)/php library already implemented quicksort XD" or something like that. Be prepared.

$500 in extra eletricity bills vs. $20000 extra in developer time. Yes, paying the developers more is clearly the cost effective way to go.

Just because a thing can compute does not make it a computer.
The human brain is a good example of something that is beyond being simply just a computer.

No, it is a bad example. Brains are extremely dependent on input and output. They have limited memory. And they can be programmed. They can compute. The can simulate their physical environment in a crude way. Some brains feature parallel personalities.

Proof that you have a soul.

I cannot. But that is silly.


Ok, then proof you have free will empirically.

Oh dear. I can't.

Have you heard of occam's razor?

Yes, now I see. So free will and a soul are unnecessary assumptions. I should chose the more elegant theory with the least assumptions. Thank you for educating me, master-san. May I suck your dick now?

Of course we have free will. People choose goals and choose daily decisions to reach that goal. Many people fail and choose smaller goals because they don't care to pay the price needed for big goals. Others choose little goals and wonder why they live a boring and meaningless life.

"Anyone could achieve anything if they just tried their hardest!"
Is this what you're saying?

No, I'm saying that we can choose many parts of our lives, we have free will. Just because we have a will doesn't change our biology or environmental status. For example, I will not be part of the Bin Laden family no matter how I wish, I could possibly become a friend or confidant but never a family member. No amount of training or will power will ever cause me to become a gold medalist in Olympic sprinting, there are others with muscular genes that'll always outperform mine given equal training and motivation. I cannot change the fractional banking system no matter how influential and wealthy I become, the system is far too entrenched for me to do it personally.

People can achieve many things given the right will and the right system. It is only through action that things are done and people won't act without the will to do so. The point is about will, we have will and a life and many choose to live a life of mediocrity and then complain about living a mediocre life on crutches.

For me, I have chosen a life that benefits myself, my local and greater community as well as the land that we occupy. I haven't reached that goal but I am certainly on the way there.
