Goging beyond the words to the semantic meaning creating an universal language understanding. Stuff like that. Fascinating.

"To continue advances in a Moore's Law Plus world requires co-engineering and a cooperative approach across the semiconductor industry with different manufacturers, working with academia, and open standards to create an easy-to-program environment. That is why I'm confident companies will be able to add more transistors, and manage the cost curve."

Wiki.js is a Javascript-based wiki you can run on your computer or (better) in the cloud. It is open source and based on Node. It uses any of a number of database engines and runs on most platforms. There are modules available that allow you to run analytics, use social authentication, and choose the content editor you wish to use, and sync and backup your content to a number of storage services.
