[wlug] The Death Of Moore’s Law

From <http://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/24/death_notice_for_moores_law/>: The computer science behind microprocessor design has therefore found itself making a rapid U-turn as it learns that its optimisation techniques can be weaponised. ... Hammered by the finance of physics and the weaponisation of optimisation, Moore’s Law has hit the wall, bounced off - and reversed direction. We’re driving backwards now: all things IT will become slower, harder and more expensive. Actually economics probably had more to do with it than physics, as PC sales have been slowing over the past decade.
