Until you get to the physics of transistors and logic gates :)
Though I suppose in a sense, even subatomic particles are abstractions over quarks. It’s just that those are no longer abstractions we control.
- underdeserver 3y agoYup. APIs and constraints all make engineering sense. Turtles, all the way down... except when you get to quantum mechanics, that stuff is whack.
- javajosh 3y ago>QM is whack Very much so. But I also think it always had to be that way. A universe of infinite classical regression (atoms made of atoms made of atoms...) would be more insane than whack.
- underdeserver 3y agoIf I had to guess, I'd say infinite regression is how the real world works, and quantum mechanics is how our reality's simulator lazily computes interactions.
- dylan604 3y agoWould that make things like wormholes similar to a heartbleed attack?
- xattt 3y agoI realized the brilliance of the name Quartz for the graphics framework. It’s what happens to “rendered” silicon.
- kzrdude 3y agoQuartz glass is strong and very clear, it implies sharp, clear images.
