In short, the death of Moore’s Law is about the end of economic scaling of transistors. Packing more transistors on a chip does not save you money like it use to. This contradicts the point of Moore’s Law.

So its not about transistor being too small that the electron just jumps from one circuit to another unintentionally?

That might be a contributing factor, but the main reason comes down to cost. Moore’s Law originally stated that the cost per integrated component would be cut in half every year. The timeframe was variously adjusted to 24 months or 18 months, but however you want to run the numbers, the cost has not kept up. Starting from the Intel 8008, we’re now a few orders of magnitude behind.

When using Summit, the hits against the server are GET /api/v3/post?id=2024 and GET /api/v3/comment/list?max_depth=6&post_id=2024&sort=Top&type_=All. From what I can tell, those are both Lemmy REST API calls. Not sure why it’s trying to call it that way.

Desktop link works fine on my instance.

It’s weird. It works in my desktop browser, and on mobile when I copy the link into the browser. It does not work in my Lemmy mobile app (Summit). Not sure what’s going on there.
