Manufacturing, Real Estate, and Transport Are the Physical Computing Stack
“But if you're treating atoms like bits, digitizing the physical world, CPU manipulates bits, what manipulates atoms? Manufacturing. Storage stores bits, what stores atoms? Real estate. Network moves bits from point A to point B, what moves atoms? Transport, lo…”
Rao: Core physics principles of computing haven't changed in decades
“Much of this is built on a foundation of physics that we didn't really go back and change that much. I mean, yes, we built smaller devices, faster devices, but the principles that that it's built on haven't changed in a long time.”
Gil: 90% of computing experimentation collapses back to scaling original architecture
“Every way of computing, you suddenly have this burst of, well, this thing is really working. Let's try five other things that could work potentially better. And then, you know, I, it feels like 90% of the time it collapses back to the original thing that you j…”
