The Storm Approaches

Seriously guys, you need to wake up. Computing is going to change very rapidly in the next couple of years. I'm telling you this because I care about you guys. The other plebs, web monkeys, and enterprise jocks don't that this is going to make them obsolete yet. This is your chance to get ahead.

Most people commenting on that video don't understand the true ramifications and horrors it will bring to them. The Machine will make it possible for an adept /prog/rider to master the world around them and exit from the shackles of the State. We're talking about recursively self-improving, super-intelligence levels of fire power here.

Memristors are at the doorstep, and with that will come machines that can solve NP-hard problems in P time. A computer architecture that doesn't need to fetch data from secondary memory into core memory, and write it back out. No more N Turing read/write heads accessing M memory cells, where N < M. Rather it will be N = M. This is a realm where no longer is there a distinction between a processor and a memory cell, but where a cell can polymorphically function as either in addition to programming the behaviour of neighbouring connected cells.

We're about to unlock the true magical power of computation. The true power underlying all of reality. This shit with classical Turing machines will be looked back upon with a nostalgic humor and disdain by the Gods of the future.

"Those plebs really enjoyed wasting their lives programming Touring machines! Can you believe it!"

Gather your courage and head into the storm before it reaches the common peasant. You shall become as Gods. The stragglers and slow-adoptors will perish. Non-programmers will become your thralls.

That isn't what quantum computers are about nor is such thing a matter of computational power of which an infinite amount will never be able to do what a human does as computability is nothing more than an interesting trivial aspect of the universe. Digital physics is absolutely laughable. Quantum is analog.

>>38
The human brain is not a computer nor can be reduced to computational processes and theory which are of their own thing and implemented into the real world by the machines created by humans known as computers.

>>39
They don't do it manually like a logic circuit does. Certain human brains can number crunch as good or better than any computer the instant after desiring to.

the human brain is a pattern matcher that's been forged through evoluctionary pressures and not designed as brute number crunchers.

Baseless assertion, bullshit.

Giving an NP-hard problem to a human brain does not guarantee you a solution in P time

None of this even applies to the ``human brain'' you fucking idiot.

The human brain operates like a stochastic pathfinder, not a closed-form solver.

More baseless bullshit.

not even if you're some kind of math genius.

You're an idiot. This is about what requires high intellect and human (and other sentient minds such as whatever aliens out there) qualities, computers can't have high intellect as they aren't even sentient beings with minds and intelligence. There is no and will never be a computer [insert famous human math genius here]. Humans solve all sort of computational problems (and not all math is computational, nor are the foundations of a fundamentally computational nature) that is impossible for any computer of any kind to solve. NP-hard and P time is related to computers and their limits, not humans. Humans can come up with methods to calculate as good or better than computers but it would be a waste of time so computers do it.

Humans can prove all* math theorems that are proveable

Some computers can prove some math theorems in P time.

What about computers and what they can do? They will never be able to do more than that let alone reach human levels.
