High temperature superconductor could in principle be inside an organism, because it's not fixed to a specific element. And energy savings would be immense.

by Ygg2 2y ago
I don't think we'll really see a superconductor that ticks all the boxes. Reality is too noisy for such effects to take hold. If there was I think evolution would have already used it by now.

Well without atomicity you can't have 1NF, and thus none of the latter. So let's hope you never store a content of a text content of a configuration or log.

Since I would disagree with them, they are also fascist. Also extreme right. I'm sorry but calling everyone Fascist/Nazist has semantically watered down the meaning.

Maybe in the far, far future. The AI hallucinations, would turn optimizing compilers from "computer magic" to the "computer ultra nightmares" or maybe "My computer is having nightmares and I must scream".

The problem is people want to write glue code that adds foreign traits to types they don't own. For example they need to implement diesel trait on a type from crate they don't own (e.g. matrix) Is it possible to square that circle

That's one of their issues. Other issues are borrow virality and stuff for next Rust.

It's simpler than this. Turing machines are a beautiful abstraction. Whatever happens in humans is much, much, much, much, much, much messier, on the account of it being subject to laws of evolution and working on a scale where various
