What, how is that relevant? the transistors on a microchip double about every two years. That’s descriptive, not prescriptive, so whatever you’re trying to imply about the future is kindof a toss up — there’s no promise the parents hold. And, it doesn’t really have to do with tfa, as far as I can tell? Do you perhaps mean Murphy’s law, “whatever can go wrong will go wrong”?

The top comment mentions a ~10^3 overhead. Am I crazy (or already old?) for thinking this is not a very large constant?
