Physics are not changing, it's our understanding of physics that changes, and yes we are very far from understanding them correctly.
The real questions are:
- For how long do we have energy to keep not understanding things.
- Are the understandings leading to real improvements or just more total energy consumption (for every energy reduction there is an equal or more increase in total energy consumption)?
I'm commited to changing to a Raspberry 4 as my main computer with Raspbian (now called RaspberryOS, is that an improvement though) and Chromium before the year is over.
I wish new standards would consider all the effects before releasing, so we can stop reimplementing the wheel and actually build a bike at some point.
Reinventing the wheel for the browser has more or less stalled at this point, and it's sad because I'm all for that: http://move.rupy.se/file/wheel.jpg http://move.rupy.se/file/wheel.jpg
Software really worked ok back in the C64 days too, the only real improvement since then is 3D and my position is that OpenGL (ES) 3 with VAO is good enough.
But you are welcome to use Vulkan, Metal and DirectX 12 if you want!
