Not really the best spot for this, but I think it's kinda important to mention since we've talked a lot about Moore's Law here. He had major influence over how we understand chip performance and size limits. Did we ever really think we'd hit a wall on speed? An absolute genius, one of Intel's founders. Really pushed the boundaries of ICs. Rest in peace.

For real, he co-founded Intel. This guy's a legend. Sure, Moore's Law might not hold up like it used to, but the impact he had is undeniable. Just wanna say, rest well Mr. Moore.

RIP, but I thought his laws stopped matching our current tech trends... I could be wrong on that. 🤔

Nah, they were never really 'laws.' Just kinda overlooked the limits of physics.

Exactly, it was just a simplified way to explain speed boosts in tech. Like, you can't expect a regular car to get 1000 miles on a gallon. Just not happening. Same with ASIC miners and efficiency claims. Let’s just say we can call that Phil's Law. 😂
