We don't live in 1999 any more. A big machine with a database can serve ervyone in the US and I can fit it in my closet. It's like people are stuck in the early 2000s when they start thinking about computer capabilities. Today I have more flops in a single GPU under my desk than did the worlds largest super computer in 2004. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> It's like people are stuck in the early 2000s when they start thinking about computer capabilities. This makes sense, because the code people write makes machines feel like they're from the early 2000's. This is partially a joke, of course, but I think there is a massive chasm between the people who think you immediately need several computers to do things for anything other than redundancy, and the people who see how ridiculously much you can do with one. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
