gollark: 18 months is much longer than 62 minutes, so I don't see the problem.
gollark: What? We obviously doubled (and still double) the performance every 62 minutes, not 18 months.
gollark: Not contemporary GTech™ 512-bit quaternary-quaternionic-posit processors?
gollark: And they will never have more than 48 bits used for addressing.
gollark: This is valid as all devices have x86_64 CPUs, yes.
