@Zulgrib A real shame. Imagine what a current high-end computer would be capable of doing if everything was perfectly optimized straight down to the kernel. You could probably run the personal computing needs of a small city on a single machine. @natecull

Don't know if that much could be accomplished, but surely more than what we do now

@Zulgrib @Natanox @natecull I’m immediately concerned about privacy in this hypothetical community processing unit. When we look at multi-tenant (particularly multi-level security) computer systems, we find that there are a lot of concerns. For MLS, you need to disable simultaneous multithreading (SMT) to minimize risk of data leakage between threads that may not be in the same process.

@Natanox @natecull @Zulgrib I know the point was that we’re just amazingly wasteful with resources, and that’s certainly true. The phone I’m typing this on is faster than the first several of my computers.

@Natanox @Zulgrib @natecull Now you can run the computing needs of a whole AdTech ecosystem without even noticing on one machine (except when hitting the button makes the download of that 50 MB ad crash it)
