Charlie is a good guy (and a heck of a Cards Against Humanity player). I liked his talk, but he left out one important detail when discussing the ending of Moore's Law. It's one most people do overlook. The CPU is far from the only bottleneck in a computer, and it almost never is the biggest bottleneck. There are many fronts ongoing to eliminate others and they may have orders of magnitude left to give.	[reply]
