100 year CPU upgrade cycle

[NTMBK]

My Babbage difference engine can get a solid 5fps in LoL. How are Intel going to convince me to upgrade, short of a low cost GT4e?

5 fps on a Babbage is impressive. Must be over-rpm:ed. But consider upgrading to a used Colossus. Maybe you can get a nice deal on it at a museum.

I still rely on a computer, which was designed (maybe by accident), something like 100 million years ago.

Unfortunately my high speed floating point unit (mental arithmetic), is rather slow, and prefers to use a calculator.

I can't even calculate (SIN(12.27634623E37)^91), with out a calculator or computer.

I'm led to believe that in about 100 million years, we will have the Mk 2 version, of my computer. (Called Evolution).

Is this really useful for anything though if you're not a rocket scientist? The amish seem to get by just fine without these modern Babbage differ thingamajigs.

You can make rockets, WITHOUT computers/calculators.

Example: (It just does not fly, quite straight, more a zig zag pattern, then a big explosion and a very loud bang).

Besides the benefit of higher FPS, a side effect of a big overclock on the Babbage is the massive upper body you get cranking the thing. It might be the only time in history a hardcore LoL addiction helps get someone laid.

I've managed to overclock my Babbage computer.
I had to defeat the multiplier lock, by drilling out the mechanical stops.

I had to delid it, and change the TIM (T.I.M. Thin Inter-cooled-Oil Mechanism), to a lighter machine oil, rather than the synthetic stuff, INTEL (I.N.T.E.L. International Numerical Ticking Epileptic-Geared Links) uses.

Don't forget that 8 bits of L1 cache compressed via an extremely lossy algorithm.

Instead of computers, in the future we will just implant floating-point units and extra cache in our brains.

It's both a frightening and yet exciting prospect, when in 1, 50, 100 (or whatever) years. When/if we can plug computers, straight into (inside) our heads.

It might mean we will be able to download and instantly read/learn books. Into (mainly) our bionic/cybernetic or whatever it should be called, improved brains.

Google glass, was probably taking us one step closer, to achieving this.

And you retards want to call out another user as trolling one who provided proof of a CPU today lasting 20 years from now but somehow this guy isn't trolling.

Not sure if a Colossus would be compatible with my graphics card, or rather the gears->potentiometer->serial port->Thunderbolt bridge.

Nah, with the Intel quantum computing investment, that will reduce upgrade cycle to days! Because with every bit you add that adds up to the exponent. So n+1 bits becomes 2^n+1 bits. And because the number of bits will increase exponentially according to Moore's Law, the update cycles will decrease exponentially.

So that's obviously why Intel invested in quantum computing. There will be hyper-Moore's Law, so if Intel can reduce update cycles from 5+ years to days, to even minutes, their revenues will skyrocket to trillions and quadrilions and investors will be happy.

It's only proof if you can show us the future.
You,and nobody for that matter,has any idea of how the free to play or blizzard titles are going to evolve in the next years.
Nobody even knows if a intel core cpu can even last for 20 years,chances are that they can, but nobody knows for sure.

We have to invent skynet first (AI in general) to make quantum computers worth it for consumers.

Thanks, man! I had always wondered what FPS I'd get, if I did the alcohol conversion on my analytical engine.

How are Intel going to convince me to upgrade, short of a low cost GT4e?

But only if it's matched with a ½ core CPU, right?

Kids say the darnedest things..
Buh-Bye..

I would say internet is the closest thing to skynet, so it's right here right now.

Skynet isn't about pervasiveness, it is about access.

Without access to nuke launch capability, there would be no first wave strike.

The pervasive nature of the internet is what makes the access problematic, not the other way around.

A nut with nuke codes sitting in his own silo in N. Dakota can, at best, launch one rogue nuke to Russia. Which, with sane protocols in place, will be received as a snafu followed by ample compensation for those affected. No different than how Chernobyl wasn't the harbinger of retaliatory nuclear war in Europe, nor did 9/11 bring about a full nuclear strike against Afghanistan or Iraq.

But a crazy guy who has access to launching all the nukes for even just one country (access but not pervasive) is a problem, as that can put too many missiles in the air at one point in time for rash diplomacy to address and put aside. A response would be required and expected.

And that is really what the concept of Skynet fulfills. The autonomous, digitial analog of a deranged dictator. Not pervasive, but with access to weapons of mass destruction and an understanding that if the "tat" is large enough then the "tit" which will come from said "tat" (a tit for tat, if you will) by the human decision makers on the receiving end will push the humans into an escalating war of self-annihilation.

Or so I have been told. Don't want to give the impression that I have studied or been schooled in such matters.

There is no artificial inteligence in the internet.
(There is hardly any inteligence of any kind "in" it)

8 was reasonable, 20 really stretched it for me, and 100 is most definitely not going to happen. I was about to start a 500 year cycle thread but realized that was completely absurd

Do you by any chance mean that you do find oblivion while playing with your antikythera mechanism at max settings?

Just buy an SSD, it'll feel like a new machine.

Where did you get the parts to finish your system? You can go trawling the Mediterranean all day long and the darn things are constantly coming up "out of stock". It's about like trying to get a 6700k . . .
