I’m still disappointed we’re not exploring photonic circuitry or DNA computing or all the gee whiz speculative fiction post-silicon ideas from twenty years ago.

- I_Am_Nous 3y agoThere's a guy at work who is convinced photonic circuits would solve a lot of problems. I imagine if we can start growing perfect crystals of some sort to be used in photonic chips, we can use them, but my understanding the speed of a copper circuit is already relatively close to the speed of light so that's not really the limiting factor of our current chips.
