It's pretty amazing that something pushing the absolute limit of technology in the 1960s is now something that you could bundle up, throw together as a torrent, and publish for anyone curious enough to look at it.
- melling 12y agoNot really. Moore's Law over 50 years. http://observationdeck.io9.com/comparison-of-lunar-module-navigation-computer-with-an-880735459 http://observationdeck.io9.com/comparison-of-lunar-module-na... Too bad other fields haven't progressed. Commercial supersonic flight, for example, would be nice. In 1970, I'm sure they would have predicted 2-3-5 the speed of sound by now.
- astrodust 12y agoTo deny that Moore's law is amazing is amazingly ignorant.
- melling 12y agoHuh, didn't realize that's what I did. Are you sure that you didn't just misread what I wrote? I thought by this point that it was well known, well documented, and well established. So, any technology influenced by it should come with certain expectations that shouldn't surprise anyone reading HN. Now, try not to be amazed by Moore's law but by saddened by the lack of progress in other fields. There's a lot of work to do.
