> The future of computing, after about 2035, is adiabatic reservable hardware. When such hardware runs at a cost-minimizing speed, half of the total budget is spent on computer hardware, and the other half is spent on energy and cooling for that hardware. Thus after 2035 or so, about as much will be spent on computer hardware and a physical space to place it as will be spent on hardware and space for systems to generate and transport energy into the computers, and to absorb and transport heat away from those computers.
The computer almost sounds alive...
- lisper 13y agoNot almost. It is alive. The only fundamental difference between computers and "life as we know it" is that the computer's genetics are encoded on magnetic media rather than DNA.
