Yeah? Still no benchmarks in the article, just generalizations like 10% (which is how much they cut the number of operations). It is good that another guy here referenced the original report, where there are actual benchmarks. The so called Strassen algorithm is actually slower on CPU than the standard algorithm for reasonably sized matrices, no matter that it performs significantly smaller number of operations. Mind blowing, huh? Seems computers are no so simple after all.

So, my question was pretty reasonable. Stop being lazy and learn something instead of insulting people who do.

Too bad that in real world things like proper cache utilization are more important than operations count. Show us the benchmarks or it doesn't matter.

Voted "Longevity Escape Velocity Will Be Achieved Later This Century". LEV is very speculative idea. We don't know if it is attainable. What I think (or hope) is that by mid-century life expectancy will reach the maximum human life span of ~120 years but in better health than those who reach this age today.

For Kurzweil, I think he is biased toward predicting things to happen during his lifetime. There are no known therapies in clinical trials today that will extend significantly lifespan in the foreseeable future. Such therapies should be in the news, if LEV is going to happen in 10 years' time. Even epigenetic reprogramming, the most advanced concept, is further in the future and its impact, if any, on aging is still unknown.
