There is a huge difference debating that a specific doubling curve theory regarding a narrow measurement of computing power is broken and saying tech has slowed the fuck down . . Most hardware research the last several years are pouring into processors that work better with neural networks and deep learning . We learned a few years ago doing the same narrow band of math faster and faster is not the future of computing . Speed has stagnated but width and capability are widening dramatically . That is one example among many . Tech absolutely hasn ' t slowed down . <| sep |> That last round was very NA <| sep |> Maybe she should have requested the rest to reload her empty gift cards . Not doing that was her mistake .
