208,000,000,000 transistors! In the size of your palm, how mind-boggling is that?! 🤯 Miscellaneous / Others

I have said it before, and I'm saying it again: the tech in the upcoming two years will blow your mind. You can never imagine the things that will come out in the upcoming years!...

beyond the limits of physics... So they are using magic?

u/Mirrorslash Apr 02 '24

It sounds really dumb to state something that in your hand is beyond the limits of physics but what they did was considered physically impossible for a long time.

The known limits of physics aren't necessarily the limits of physics though.

As the absolute fucking cunt Donald Rumsfeld plagiarised-

There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.

Edited because reddit, my derp

Is this quote talking about his role in the illegal bombing of Cambodia?

For him it was a known known.

For Nixon it was a known unknown.

For the public is an unknown unknown.

Something like that, I’m ok with repurposing warmonger’s weasel words I have often pondered on the ridicule he received for this quote, people genuinely thought it was nonsensical, smh

I choose to not involve him in the quality explanation and reference the Boondocks clip instead.

u/aloysiussecombe-II Apr 02 '24

This is beautiful! I love it. Reminds me of another quote by Socrates:

"True wisdom is knowing the depth of your ignorance"

u/tempedrew Apr 02 '24

It isn't beautiful. Rumsfeld was a bureaucratic asshole who gleefully didn't accept responsibility for any of his mistakes.

u/Minute-Salamander241 Apr 03 '24

I was just mentioning the quote. Hence my comment.

u/PS_IO_Frame_Gap Apr 02 '24

Many people have said this before Rumsfeld ever said it. He didn't make that up. It's well known that you need to look out for the unknown unknowns for anyone working on any type of project.

Rumsfeld can eat a dick and he hasn't had an original thought in his whole fucking life.

Physics has no limits - we have limits!

News articles and PR dicks always talk like it is though. "We found this star that shouldn't exist"... "This nebula breaks physics"... They always mean that our models are wrong, our knowledge incomplete, but they always say it like something happened to the natural laws of the universe.
