How many times in your life have you “kissed” a sign pole, lamp pole, any pole?

Padded post

I can remember that I have hit my head against a pole once when I was walking down the road and saw a supercar those times only one in Riga, don’t recall what type it was that, but I remember not hitting the pole very hard by that || much. It even didn’t hurt, but I wasn’t bleeding or had ruined my face. Just a tingling nose.

Moore’s law left intact

Moore’s law is saved by a group of scientists who has found a new way how to pack transistors even more. They use a new carving technique that makes these tiny tiny features in silicon that are many times smaller than a wavelength of the light used to make them.

The new approach produces grids of parallel lines just 25 nanometers wide using light with a wavelength of 351 nm. The grids are not functional circuits but could be made into working chips by adding extra small features.

Does this mean that in near future (2 year time) there will still not exist super fast quantum pc or pc that was using optics instead of usual processors (can’t find it anywhere anymore or I have misremembered the technique). Gosh I hoped that we are going to be exempted from the Moore’s law sooner.

But such news’ is good, because pc’s will still be evolving understandably and predictably and our pc’s standing at home or work won’t age instantly.
