Fighting Akrasia

• “Sometimes just a minute or two delay of the temptation makes you far more likely to make a rational choice,” says Piers Steel, a psychologist at the University of Calgary and a leading researcher on one of akrasia’s most common manifestations: procrastination. • Steel argues that our modern environments have made us more susceptible to akrasia. “We’re not really designed to have temptation constantly at our fingertips,” he says. • Those of us who work on computers know this all too well – The Internet ensures we have time-sucking distractions constantly competing for our attention • And since the 1970s, researchers have “seen about a 500 percent increase in chronic procrastination” • “You can get your email, but you have to wait 20 seconds”

Intel – Instead Of Tick, Tock – Tick, Tock, Tock

• Intel strategy was to release a processor chip with smaller transistors “tick”, and the following year it tweaks the design “tock”, commonly known as tick-tock • Technology has gotten so much harder to work with that it now takes more than a year for each cycle • Recently announced they could not make a jump to the new technology and simply released another revision – Tock, Tock

After Moore’s Law

• 4004 – 12 square millimeters, 2300 transistors, each the size of a red blood cell, 10,000 nanometer geometry • Skylake transistor is around 100 atoms across, and their transistors are invisible, for they are far smaller than the wavelengths of light human eyes and microscopes use • 400 billion billion transistors made in 2015 or about 13 trillion a second • The Economist March 12, 2016
