Actually WW2. Semiconductors came out of German/American research and came about in the early 50s in a commercial use sense. Etc, etc, etc. The first cpus were contracted for by calculator makers. Nasa used primitive computers and core memory.
This seems to be nothing more than what I call "busy tech." - lotsa fun, but what exactly is the resulting knowledge good for? Is it actually worth the effort?
Nature is not an idiot that is going to be fixed by mankind. If she uses the original inefficient detox process it may be for a reason. Probably is. Evolution would have selected bigger, faster long ago. So, wait for why it fails or doesn't do what they want exactly. Is the bigger, faster even eatable?
I was a Telecommunications Specialist in the military (AF) Autodin system from 1975 to 1979. It was a worldwide military packet switching message system using Philco-Ford computers and microwave and tropospheric scatter communications links as well as undersea cables back to the states. We had one satellite dish at RAF Croughton England at that time. I could actually see the packet communications on an O-scope and read the attempts of cryptographic equipment to synchronize. The "procs" were big cabinets and generated a lot of heat. We had two for fail-over and they used drum memory. All model T - ish, but it worked. It got the job done. I had approximately 150 to 200 circuits to monitor and keep up. Some of those circuits had Colonels in deep bunkers at the other end. It always amused me as a two-striper to have a Colonel call me up to troubleshoot his circuit outage. Of course, I'd have to order him around a bit to accomplish that. I could see both the black and red sides of a message and that, of course, is a severe no no in encryption. We had a very high level of Top Secret clearance as a result. The point is that there was a full-blown, worldwide military packet switching network in place and working when I joined the Air Force in 1975. Amazingly short time from conception to implementation - unless the story is more complex than we hear.
P.S. It used a programming language that sounded like "shall-A." I wasn't a programmer, so I'm not exactly sure what it was. We had a captain programmer who only rarely interacted with us- usually when I screwed up what he was doing by my habit of pushing the circuit alarm button repeatedly to get a fault report absent mindedly as I thought about the problem. He had programmed the computer locally to recycle the computer when the button was pushed rather than have us call each time to operations on the phone (in the next room) to recycle the computer manually. But for some reason he failed to tell us what he was doing. Understandable because enlisted ran the Switching center. He was the only officer and we never saw him. I think he was afraid of us. (laughs)
P.S. When fission and fusion reactions cause a loss of mass, what happens to the gravity associated with that lost mass? Does it disappear? Or is it left behind without an associated mass? Doses it become a "cloud of gravity" associated with a galaxy's stars? This is not so weird a thought though. A black hole is a singularity of mass, meaning I think, that essentially the mass has disappeared, leaving the gravity associated with that mass behind.
It is more likely something simple, like matter and space being the same thing with one being able to convert into the other. Thus, with matter turning into its space equivalent, the farther out you look the more volume of included matter turning into space you have and so an acceleration away from the viewer. I have an intuitive feeling that space and matter equivalence explains a lot in Relativity and QM. 50 years?
Oh, man. Should be "Will push ahead of.." They have lost already. The feminized Intel is on a downward spiral. You have to lead your target, not aim directly at it. The new product sounds like it will be merely current GPU technology made proprietary with some Intel IP added to lock clients into Intel's also- ran GPU technology. And if they started doing that three years ago they are already behind in technology. Not a great job Intel.
Has anyone bothered to determine the shift of the albedo of the Earth according to these changes? If more energy from the Sun is retained by the Earth and not reflected away due to humans changing the surface of the Earth, such changes could be a major source of global warming.
You send manufacturing overseas and design and management must eventually follow. And as for Renee James, her Wiki entry shows her to be a major part of intel's creative decline due to the major positions she has held. I don't doubt the doer-ship of women, but they are lacking creative aggression. And companies who do not realize that doom themselves eventually if they depend on being cutting edge and beyond for their positions. There is no historical evidence of the creative aggression of women on any level that has meaning in the large. Every device and entity that they occupy was created and pushed forward by men.
The CIA just had a communications debacle exposed concerning its information assets in various countries worldwide, causing a roll up of those assets, even the deaths of dozens of those assets at the hands of their countries' security apparatuses. This sounds like something they could use after some modifications.
Serious chess is psychic murder. It is a knife fight in a phone booth.. The two current contenders for the World Championship are flying Aces in combat, intent on killing each other - cold blooded killers at the top of the pile of chess bodies. The American champion, Robert Fischer, made it very clear that he was out to destroy his opponents not just defeat them in a genteel game. He was not unique. He just stripped away the lie that it is anything else. People seem to crave more and more violence in their entertainment today. But there has always been a part of the population that enjoys watching a fight. Sports. Also, chess is used by humans to indicate superiority. You win, you are better. China is the Russia of the past, using chess to prove its superiority. Thus the state funding and attention. But that is an indication of a lack of self-confidence. The bragging of a bully who feels inferior.
They seem to have no understanding that they are going to create a large and ever-growing underclass of "untouchables," who are disconnected and and resentful of the government and the system and everyone else in society. But then, we are talking about afraid and paranoid communism. What else would anyone expect?
About time we heard some sense instead of constant cheerleading. Just because scientists and engineers say something is doable and should be done, it doesn't mean there is any reality to the thing. Let's hear more actual opposition based on real science and math to easy plans and projects . I'm sick of hearing breathless pie-in-the-sky schemes that are given the imprimatur of science and tech that are just manipulations for money, position, or fame.
Thank you Bill Nye for being a real scientist and refusing to be merely a pathetic shill for the scientific-industrial complex as so many scientists today are.
And fixing them will introduce more attack vectors. What a man can make, a man can break. That is why I don't think quantum communication and encryption is actually unbreakable.
Consider the complexity illustrated in this article. This is just part of what I call the coming "complexity collapse." It is inevitable as governments, businesses, and technology continue to add more and more rules, regulations, laws, procedures, devices, patches, processes, obligations, etc.
Eventually the Chinese will compete internationally with Facebook, Google, etc. by offering their own, more filtered and controlled versions to countries that will, like France, find them more acceptable than what they now must consider an uncontrolled free- for- all for bad actors. So-called democracies will fall for the siren of control and create a shambles of rights and freedoms. The idea that rights and freedoms cost on a daily basis and we must accept those costs is becoming no longer acceptable in a time of growing hyper-liberalism and feminine emotionalism. Thus, freedom and rights die gradually for "good" but weak reasons.

Searching my mind I find I never hoped or imagined what would be for technology later in my life. Things just came when they came.

It is a simplification of a complex thing for reason of conversation. Try to keep up.

It shows that stealing technology really DOES work.

Does anyone know what "shall-A" may have been?
Only half the problem. You have to train people to actually be able to READ such writing. You may as well be writing Greek otherwise.
Let me know when it works. Let me know when it does anything useful. Let me know when it doesn't feel like a boondoggle.
Obviously he stumbled upon nature's backup.

I'm not denying global warming. I want a total audit of its causes. Stop thinking in boxes.
