Exactly - that's why I'm nominating it for thread of the year; to anyone with even an ounce of tech savvy this is more hilarious than even the "breaking news" thread with all its clever "break your own news" powered memes.
Has Fdev considered building an optical computer?
- Thread starter Noobilite
- Start date
Best thread of 2020
I wanted to say it's tied with the KI Asp thread, but that one was from 2019. So yeah
KI Asp takes down a full moddet Corvett ?!!!^^
Are the cooders on crack? On xb-1 a ki asp takes down a full updated ( weapons and shilds maxt out) corvett? How insane is the game going to go i mean most ppl trasht it on xb-1 anyway (groupserarch 5-15ppl) , but still i mean we payd 4 the crab and no 1 seems to bother with fixing the game on...
Option 1: Pay for servers
Option 2: P2P
Option 3: Grow some crystals and make computers out of them
People are really desperate for some good instancing huh.

Would not the problem be that while electric computers are powered by electricity, optics such as LED technology are also powered by electricity? To change the properties of the emitted light, you first must manipulate the electricity. You computation speed is therefore limited by the speed of electrons. However, optics are working faster as a transmission because during transmission, the light has no dependency on electricity.
The problem is the dependency of optic emmision on electricity. Is this logical?

Now, suppose they have several LEDs which all stay on. The problem is the existence, or lack of a switch that is powered by light alone.
How do we cause several independant beams of light to suddenly begin combining without using electricity?

Electronic computers use the electric transistor. It fundamentally uses electricity to control electrical current. (My understanding is rudimentary). Optical computers, surely can be powered by electricity, but there needs to be a way to begin the process of controlling the light by only using light. How do you do that?
OP, lets not ask Frontier to conduct bleeding edge computer server design when they have a problem finding time to fix even their simpler game bugs!
OP, I believe that if optical computers can be a reality, you must begin the process of controlling the logic process by creating some kind of perpetual reaction. You begin the process using electricity to "cross the streams".
You mean other than the obvious answer of Jesus, technobabble, and MacGyver?
This is someone's power point presentation I found on Google. I skimmed it for at least forty seconds and didn't see any glaring errors, so here you go:
Well, someone has to continue this important work if FDEV will be able to build the optical computer.
As I said in my last previous post, the streams must be crossed to initiate a perpetual reaction but only once, after which the base streams will not be redirected again but will only provided a light conduit for the addition of subsequent light stream injections which are produced by supporting electron based input components.
