> I'd rule out all casual computing like home PCs, smartphones, and so on, because honestly we've been there for years already. Casual computing can definitely be a lot better than where we are today[0][1]. The software business has moved to a place where it’s not really practical to program bare metal silicon in assembly to get screaming fast performance. We write software on several layers of abstraction, each of which consumes a ton of compute capacity. We have resigned to live with 100ms latencies in our daily computing. This is us giving up on the idea of fast computers. It should not be confused with actually having a computer where all interactions are sub 10ms (less than 1 frame refresh period at 90fps).
