/tech/ - Technology★

Talos workstations, for me.

The new iPhone every year 📱

That girl is an alien.

Anything in medicine, robotics, AI, even some new mathematical models questioning the foundation of the universe thanks to quantum computing.

Plenty plenty developments. The unfortunate issues are the corporate influences driving these developments, to further dominate society as a whole.

>medicine

You mean the latest poison Big Pharma is peddling.

>AI

Intelligence is not artificial, AI is a reverie.

>quantum computing

A marketing term.

>>990404

This.

And another note it would be also interesting to ask

>Was there anything /tech/nology related that really deceived you?

The list is long.

The advances and proofs made using the rapidly advancing gravitational wave detector tech. We can mathematically prove that we have 3 spacial dimensions and many more things that I can't even begin to comprehend now, and we can sense disturbances in the gravitational field, all very exciting things in my opinion.

Nah, things like same sex breeding, schizophrenia treatment, stem cell development, organic prosthetics, brain imaging, etc.

AI has come a long way, so much so they can draw, play music, do semi automatic surgeries, legal discovery, etc..

And it's fine if you 1) don't comprehend quantum computing, 2) have access to the 5+ QC to test formulas, but you can't deny https://SHAttered.io wasn't solved by some vulnerability. Collision is collision. You can't fictionalize what already exists:

Tits or gtfo

Talos offering viable x86 alternatives. Intel's 8086K and 9900K being mainstream 5 GHz processors. Cheap Windows Mixed Reality HMDs and Oculus' price cut for the Rift finally getting VR HMD prices down to a mass market compatible point. The beta of Haiku wasn't exciting, but still nice to see.

Are you 11 years old?

Java 10 is a major update; new var keyword and better type inference. It's such a verbose language and this does help a bit with that (if you can't switch to Kotlin, that is).

>Gravitational wave detection.

I did some work for the project that staffs those observatories (LIGO). The existing laser-interferometers are a few kilometers long: long enough to detect gravitational waves, but not much else. They're planning on building a higher precision interferometer millions of miles long in up in space. The so-called LISA project:

I discovered the (hopefully) soon to be released EOMA68 computer cards. Seems cool and fun, but it appears almost obsolete upon arrival, and difficult to expand due to the small size plus heat issues.

The main issue for me is making sure some good programs have ARM support. I've not yet ventured outside of x86.

Also, their hardware has an open spec and they appear to claim therefore it has security benefits (quote "no backdoors"). Is that realistically verifiable on a hardware level?

- Crystal (http://crystal-lang.org/) maturing. It's fast, faster than Java or Go if you just write naive code, and has a real type system but it feels like a scripting language even more than Nim.

- Decentralized applications gaining momentum. Maybe the next technology board will be federated and the one after P2P.

- Pijul SCM (https://pijul.org/). It's like Darcs but they promise the performance won't suck.

nigchink was made

Cracking various game consoles was exciting to me. I found it more fun than playing any games I could then pirate on it.

Actual tech wise? Nothing. I haven't been excited for tech since my mid 20s. Nothing interests me.

>>990977

lol Crystal is for legacy code now. Nim? Wasn't that like 2016 or some shit? LOL

>kotlin, ceylon, and vala are for nignogs

>>990961

Yeah the PCMCIA size. To quote a random redditor:

>While it's hypothetically possible to have an EOMA style computer x86/intel/AMD64 compatible [...] it is unlikely. Most of the work so far has been focused on ARM and RiscV processors.

>Part of the reason is heat. The EOMA cpu card does not allow for large heat sinks, you would normally associate with most x86/AMD64 compatible CPUs especially those with enough horse power for gaming.

That's Allen Pucket of the Hell Shaking Street Preachers. He's a former cage fighter.

tbqh she'd be reasonably fuckable if the FAS hadn't put her eyes too far apart.

RISC-V anything. Especially since it has the backing of big companies that may actually make it into a reasonably popular ISA. Then again I doubt we'll see RISC-V CPUs/SoCs in phones or computers any time soon.
