Progress like you describe is incremental not revolutionary.
- ekianjo 7y agoContinuous improvement brings huge returns over long period of times though, as GP pointed out. in computing improvements in CPUs have been continuously improving at a regular pace for the past 20 years and you would not want to work with 2000 era CPU in 2020.
- usrusr 7y agoBut in 2000 you would not have wanted to work with a CPU older than two years. The difference between phases of radical change and those of incremental refinement can be huge. Is the fifty years anniversary 737 much better than the original? Ignoring the MCAS issue, sure. But compared to the best airliners from another 50 years earlier, those 737 perform virtually identical.
