The problem with the comparison is what it's used to imply. The popular understanding* is that scientists believed in religious dogma, and that led them to 'unscientific' geocentrism and believing that time has only one direc

The comparison is bad all around. Geocentrism actually had decent reasoning and was not a superstition. It's just we couldn't see the parallax with then-current instruments. As soon as instruments allowed, humanity changed rather

Neurons and synapses are incredibly complex. Think you're emulating over 3,000 heterogeneous cores with over half a million links while communication must be low-latency-ish. A third of the links seem to join other links and we don&#x2

I recall none of these distros change existing installs, also plasma (KDE) is often still on X11. So it depends on proportions of new users+new installs+selected DE+video card...

X11 offers a lot of functionality on the server - a lot of it unused, but still. Wayland technically specifies little but the protocol. So here the philosophy switch is the other way around.

Yes, but all that was followed by a different human ability to compensate for the loss. Here we may be replacing this with AI, not with a human skill however indirect. Also, this type of AI tech is trained from us, and therefore I'm un
