For me it’s quantum computing - especially considering its impact on most current encryption methods

Quantum safe cryptography ciphers already exist

Fusion? That would be big. The continual role out of green energy which can push the price down. The McRib coming back. Normal things.

Differentiable programming. Differentiable ray tracers for example can be used to reconstruct the geometry of something you took a picture off.

The steady improvement in computer speed and efficiency (unfortunately brought down by bloated software, but in some areas you feel it in absolute terms), storage and memory size, and EV technology. I hope in 2040 there will be cheap powerful e-scooters and e-motorcycles.

I really hope that storage increases faster than our recording tech, to the point that everyone can easily store the sum total of the internet (videos and all) on a single portable drive.

You underestimate the amount of crap (which is mostly porn, whether you like it or not) on the Internet. And resolutions will increase as cameras get better.

But in some metrics, we have already gotten there. You can download the entirety of Wikipedia and it fits in a few gigs. You could download everything (including the 800+ videos which would span multiple weeks long end to end) I made and have it be less than 1TB.

That one day they will harvest my brain and let it live a vat of dopamine

Just a happy brain in a happy jar

Turbomuffins

JWST and what's coming next

[–] miracleorange@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago

Turbomuffins sound like muffins with stimulants in them.

It's very far thou, like 2040 type of boom technology
