I wonder if these logic densities could be converted into units of nanometers. For example 333 MTr/mm2 is 333 Tr/um2. Then there are effectively sqrt(333) transistors on a side of a square micrometer which comes out to about 1/sqrt(333) * 1000 = 55 nanometers per transistor. Way off from the 2 nanometer feature size
In 1947, during the Chinese Civil War, three years before the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong won the hearts of the Communist Party and the peasant class by introducing a new land reform. This land reform encouraged the mass murder of landlords and well-off peasants in order to redistribute the land to the peasant class and other landless workers. The idea of killing landlords was first outlined by Kang Sheng, expert in terror tactics, in 1947. The reform was an open door for violence when Mao insisted that the peasants themselves should do the killing. Landlords were tortured. They were dismembered, buried alive, strangled, shot, etc. There is no way to know exactly how many people were killed but the numbers range anywhere from one million to 28 million.
Good point about the incentives behind publishing. That said, it would be nice if educated people could make educated risks, and the general population could learn from their successes and failures. It seems like that would be a lot faster than the current system of getting drugs approved
You could have one human teleoperator monitoring 10 trucks for corner cases like that. In your example the human could take over and drive over the bed sheet
Orcas have the advantage of a mammalian brain. It's pretty crazy to think that an animal similar to a pig returned to the ocean and now dominates the environment
There's probably pressure for species to not have longer lifespans. Youthful thinking and fresh perspectives are important. Wise old perspectives can get deeply ingrained and can't be changed easily. The free market for example experiences similar phenomenon where a new startup will outcompete a big old corporation. An industry that moves quicker (tech) evolves faster than one that doesn't (healthcare).
