Given that I don't know anything about rocket engine technology; the CPU is essentially the same as it was 40 years ago. Yet the technology is used in radically different ways using much more optimal manufacturing technologies. It's still a bunch of transistors on silicon.
- dredmorbius 9y agoGo watch the MOAD, and realise that most of what's changed is cost, scale, ubiquity, and speed. That's pretty much the definition of incrementalism. Yes, there've been a number of watershed transitions, but when you're increasing capability/cost by a factor of ten each decade, that's expected. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yJDv-zdhzMY https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yJDv-zdhzMY
