There's literally no point to doing science after the 60s , all that was left was for manufacturing and engineering to catch up to the theoretical frameworks.
There's nothing new under the sun, we're just publishing more and more bullshit.
This is very important because if we finally realize that technology is dead and there's no more progress to be had we can conclude that corporations and silicon valley are stealing our money with R&D and contrived bullshit.

Then why has processing power continued to grow so significantly, why are there so many benchmarks on this list that need to be researched and developed, and why do you people cry about how robots are taking your job one day, then say there is no more progress the next?

no it hasn't. 20 years ago a low end laptop could run a web browser, but if you opened too many tabs the machine would bog down usually at around a couple dozen or so and today the same is true

Modern web browsers are processing way more information, the more the processing power grows, the more bullshit they add to take advantage of it, even so web browsers are still much faster and can load far more tabs than 20 years ago.

What do you man banks and global shipping were working fine in 2014? The intel I9-4xx Is 10 times more powerful than the intel I9-3xxx which is why Banks are now performing at 10x the efficiency and global shipping has become 10x cheaper than 2014.

NTA but you're genuinely retarded. Just about every piece of communications and control technology in the last 30 years would not be possible without the continuous advancement in computing power.
This has also impacted the very fundamentals of how we approach many of these disciplines. For example, in target tracking the assumption is almost always that your measurements have additive white noise Gaussian distortions. This assumption is not something that actually is meaningful relative to the physics/mathematics of the measurements, but is done because of the linearity properties of Gaussians making them easy to compute with low memory resources.
Now that we have better and better computers we can actually model these more sophisticated distributions in ways that are tractable. Sure, some of this theoretical setup was done 30 years ago, but none of the sophisticated details were able to be determined because we simply didn't have the computing power to handle that kind of signal processing at scale. This impacts everything from missile defense to indoor robotics to air traffic control and is something that has only been possible with the recent advances in computational power.

No, Projects in 1974 (the 747) were just as complex and they came in budget and on time, they were worked on by geniuses that didn't use more compute than they needed, not modern neoliberal golems like you with a degree.

Bro most things don't need more than LAPACK, if you must go deep CUDA came out in 2006. We've definitely hit diminishing returns on what we can get out of NLA both in theory and application.

This factory did not exist in 2014, show a factory with similar level of automation from before, the whole claim with these gigafactories is the move to automation with claims of 95% i some factories leading to an exponential increase in output. https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-gig

The claim wasn't that they were new, it that they have had more of a market share as computation has increased and gm may have produced millions of cars, but they weren't serving a country of billions and its new for china to have such a large portion of their population owning cars.

>Along the way, the theoretical motivation has overtaken real improvements. “After the 1970s, matrix multiplication algorithms became galactic,” warns Pernet. In other words, these algorithms are now so complex that they reduce the computation time only for matrices that are so gigantic that all of the computers on Earth would not be enough to store them. In practice, they are never used to multiply two matrices, even those with thousands of rows and columns. However, just because the result is not used does not mean that it is not of interest. “This research provides answers to fundamental questions, and calls for implementing new techniques,” Peyré concludes. This race among theorists could indeed result in algorithms that are both faster and usable in concrete applications.

That's not enough to actually say things that make any sense.
These issues you're talking about aren't the main issue. And there's another critical issue which you seem to have missed entirely: The fact that we used to consider a 200 x 200 matrix large in the 70s whereas now we consider something large to be something like 10^6 x 10^6 or 10^7 x 10^7 at least actually has little to do with theoretical advancements in NLA.
It's actually because if you look at our processing power, it went up by a factor of about 10^9 in 30 years or so, and since matrix multiplication is O(n^3) we saw our idea of "large" go up by a factor of 10^3.
There were significant advancements in NLA, yes, but the point is that this has almost nothing to do with my original post anyway, which makes me wonder why you're making claims about a field you readily admit you know almost nothing about, and you quote something which has nothing to do with why we can handle large computations better now than in the past.

In general, I'm in favour of paying fewer people more money to work on longer projects, with few authored papers, with job security for about 5 years and then hardly any after that. I think we should be able to post anonymous comments online about every project, and just mercilessly bully anyone who accepts this kind of funding, so it will be obvious by one year after the 5 years whether they should be given any more chances.
