The fact that this is not heavily studied is disturbing.Oliver Haslam has written about Apple and the wider technology business for more than a decade with bylines on How-To Geek, PC Mag, iDownloadBlog, and many more. We need technologists, economists, socialists, politicians, and even fiction writers to be investigating this potentiality. Even if you think the chance of this happening is low, the consequences of an end to technological progress is huge. I'm personally not fully convinced we've reached the end, but there are signs that we already have or will soon. If this exponential in fact turns out to be more of a sigmoid function, and technological development eventually stops, it will have huge repercussions for our entire society.

Humanity has been on an exponential curve of improvement for a hundred years, if not many hundreds. But the general idea is that most improvements to standard of living have relied on technology, whether that's agriculture (past 5000 years) plumbing and sanitation (past 2000 years) transportation and mass production (past 500 years) or calculation, communication and automation (past 50 years). It is a big leap, and it's probably better suited for an essay than a HN comment. You seem to have made quite a big leap there. > I fail to see the connection between the computers’ efficiency and standard of living. If computer performance remains as flat as it has been, I predict we'll start seeing more popular libraries rewritten in faster compiled languages (and eventually FPGAs/ASICs) within the next 5 years. However, this trend is happening on the edges (e.g., using C-based Numpy within Python, the steady rise of Go). This has not happened yet at any large scale, largely because the huge demand of digital services has placed a premium on developer productivity over application speed. Adding FPGA programmibility does not increase real raw performance, it just allows developers to do optimizations they would not otherwise be able to do.Īlong this line of thinking, you would expect developers to start moving away from slower scripting languages towards faster compiled languages. I would not be surprised if in a few years websites and browsers start doing their own FPGA optimizations. As things are trending, I would expect FPGA and other hardware programming to become more common. > Might be the reason why Intel is putting FPGAs in the latest Xeons. The point here is, these kinds of click-baity tweets are the ones that end up on articles and reach the general public. But if I run a workload that makes extensive use of AVX (Instructions for processing Vectorized data), the Intel processors will blow the Apple A13 out of the water. The iPad most definitely has crypto/video/image processing hardware offloads and those are as fast as an Intel. But the AMD/Intel are general purpose processors that are meant to do anything. Of course the ASIC will perform faster in certain tasks since they're purpose built for that. That's like saying an ASIC is faster than an AMD/Intel. But I don't think it's fair to call the A13 the fastest chip ever in an Apple device based on heavily hardware accelerated tasks. Processor are definitely stalling in IPC (Instructions Per Cycle) improvements. I assume iPad/iPhone have good HW acceleration for anything video/crypto/3D

Floating point performance or Hardware acceleration.

But probably there are remarkable differences in Integer vs.
