Ita multo sanguine profuso in laetitia et in victoria est mortuus. Propter nos enim illam, non propter eam nosmet ipsos diligimus. Duo enim genera quae erant, fecit tria. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Ut aliquid scire se gaudeant? Suo enim quisque studio maxime ducitur.
Tum ille timide vel potius verecunde: Facio, inquit. Nos vero, inquit ille; Bork Nos cum te, M. Sic enim censent, oportunitatis esse beate vivere. Quid sequatur, quid repugnet, vident. Ut in geometria, prima si dederis, danda sunt omnia. Sit ista in Graecorum levitate perversitas, qui maledictis insectantur eos, a quibus de veritate dissentiunt. Etsi qui potest intellegi aut cogitari esse aliquod animal, quod se oderit? Sed ad haec, nisi molestum est, habeo quae velim.
Quod ea non occurrentia fingunt, vincunt Aristonem; Summum ením bonum exposuit vacuitatem doloris; Nunc ita separantur, ut disiuncta sint, quo nihil potest esse perversius. Quo plebiscito decreta a senatu est consuli quaestio Cn. Quae ista amicitia est? Itaque haec cum illis est dissensio, cum Peripateticis nulla sane. Hominum non spinas vellentium, ut Stoici, nec ossa nudantium, sed eorum, qui grandia ornate vellent, enucleate minora dicere. Octavio fuit, cum illam severitatem in eo filio adhibuit, quem in adoptionem D. Mihi enim satis est, ipsis non satis.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Unum nescio, quo modo possit, si luxuriosus sit, finitas cupiditates habere. Itaque vides, quo modo loquantur, nova verba fingunt, deserunt usitata. Cum id fugiunt, re eadem defendunt, quae Peripatetici, verba. Et quidem, inquit, vehementer errat; Alterum significari idem, ut si diceretur, officia media omnia aut pleraque servantem vivere. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Quis animo aequo videt eum, quem inpure ac flagitiose putet vivere?
Quacumque enim ingredimur, in aliqua historia vestigium ponimus. Primum cur ista res digna odio est, nisi quod est turpis? Iam in altera philosophiae parte. Hoc dictum in una re latissime patet, ut in omnibus factis re, non teste moveamur. Scrupulum, inquam, abeunti; Mihi, inquam, qui te id ipsum rogavi? Qui non moveatur et offensione turpitudinis et comprobatione honestatis? Quae qui non vident, nihil umquam magnum ac cognitione dignum amaverunt. Bona autem corporis huic sunt, quod posterius posui, similiora. Innumerabilia dici possunt in hanc sententiam, sed non necesse est. Quibusnam praeteritis? Nam aliquando posse recte fieri dicunt nulla expectata nec quaesita voluptate.
Me igitur ipsum ames oportet, non mea, si veri amici futuri sumus. Tollitur beneficium, tollitur gratia, quae sunt vincla concordiae. Neque enim civitas in seditione beata esse potest nec in discordia dominorum domus; Sin dicit obscurari quaedam nec apparere, quia valde parva sint, nos quoque concedimus; Si enim ad populum me vocas, eum. Fatebuntur Stoici haec omnia dicta esse praeclare, neque eam causam Zenoni desciscendi fuisse. Sic enim censent, oportunitatis esse beate vivere. Nihilne te delectat umquam -video, quicum loquar-, te igitur, Torquate, ipsum per se nihil delectat? Nam his libris eum malo quam reliquo ornatu villae delectari. Quae quidem vel cum periculo est quaerenda vobis; Habes, inquam, Cato, formam eorum, de quibus loquor, philosophorum. Quae cum dixisset, finem ille.
Moore’s Law is not a law in a scientific sense, more an observation and predictive mental model. To that end, some have argued that it is self-fulfilling, with companies feeling the need to keep up with Moore’s law — though that seems like less of a limitation and more of a complement.
Causal relationships aside, many argue that Moore’s Law is coming to its end because of the challenges to build smaller circuits, as the amount of energy needed to cool down the transistors will become larger than the amount of energy already passing through the transistor.
However, that has been a point of debate when taking Moore’s Law as a loose definition of exponential growth. While computers won’t necessarily improve in the ways Moore originally referenced, advancements in cloud computing, quantum physics and the internet of things are likely to create other forms or rapid development.
Your USB stick vs Apollo 11 mainframe computer.
It’s not just your smartphone that is more powerful than the old supercomputers, this ZME Science article notes that even a USB stick or WiFi router is technically more powerful than the 1969 mainframe computers used to guide the first rocket to the moon.
The reducing cost of technology.
Jerrold Siegel from the University of Missouri, notes in this article that: “A computer chip that contained 2,000 transistors and cost $1,000 in 1970, $500 in 1972, $250 in 1974, and $0.97 in 1990 costs less than $0.02 to manufacture today A personal computer that cost $3,000 in 1990, $1,500 in 1992, and $750 in 1994 would now cost about $5.”
Moore’s law is a model used to understand the rapid development of technology.
Use the following examples of connected and complementary models to weave Moore’s law into your broader latticework of mental models. Alternatively, discover your own connections by exploring the category list above.
Connected models:
- Compounding: to understand the exponential growth element of Moore’s law.
- Red queen effect: understanding the pace of movement in the broader industry.
Complementary models:
- Zawinski’s law: in understanding expectations for faster development of broad solutions.
- Opportunity cost: to consider the alternative costs of commiting to technology solutions without a view to their potential obsolescence in the medium term.
- The Lindy effect: perhaps a counter to the wisdom that past time can predict future longevity.
This law was inspired by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor and CEO of Intel. He made the observation in 1965 when he projected the rate of growth for another decade and has expressed surprise at how long the phenomena has persisted.
