The NASA computers were among the most advanced computer science of their day. They were built by engineers with cutting edge technology. Chrome is a web browser, an absurd behemoth intended to view everything from a static page from twenty years ago to a dynamically assembled webapp using frameworks even the app’s creator doesn’t know one tenth of, but still has to import, and the whole thing is built to spy on what you do while you surf for cat pics and pussy pics for the ten trillionth time, feeding google’s monopoly.
Not even apples to oranges. Apples to the lump formerly known as the planet Pluto.
Back in 69 more people were carrying the load of logic in their heads. Its been a double edged sword of progress with more responsibilities offloaded to automation
STOP. DOING. UX.
Computers were meant to do math, not make pictures.
Trillions of pixels illuminated, but no real life benefit has been discovered.
GUI. Ray Tracing. Generative Adversarial Networks and Diffusion Models.
Terms dreamed up by the deranged.
They are playing you for fools!

Those things can have their place. But not on a restaurant website when I’m trying to order curry.
It’s infuriating!
I just want static html webpages back. The sheer volume of scripts that run just to display text these days drives me nuts.
Agreed! Bring back usenet and keep the normies out. Judging by all the fascist uprisings, they weren’t ready for it anyways.
lol, Committee for the Extermination of Eternal September.
Games today: “Om nom, I take 16GB, om nom…”
Well how else is google gonna keep tabs on you.
Heh

It’s more impressive when you see this giant block of wires in person.
My desktop with 64gb sat idling with a web browser open:
You got 32gb to play with chump
so many reasons to ditch chrome and google altogether…
Good thing they didn’t need chrome to go to the moon.
Isn’t it great that we don’t have to be so efficient anymore?
I blame WYSIWYG CMSs
People in 1969: What is a browser tab?
You know those paper folders? Yeah imagine that each flap is actually a screen.
You’re welcome.
You can do math without a computer, it turns out.
Putting shit on the moon is very easy from a maths PoV
That’s not why we were able to get Apollo 11 onto the moon using only 8 kilobytes. The real reason is because we used the most batshit sorcery mankind may ever know to eek out every last ounce of usefulness we could muster from those 8 kilobytes.
There was some sorcery involved, yes. But that does not mean it wasn’t a fundamentally easy problem. Orbital mechanics are the easiest and cleanest physics around. That’s why classical mechanics was so incredibly useful: it’s a near perfect predictor for movement in the sky. There ain’t no friction no nothing. Just clean positions, gravity, and propulsion.
