alt Hacker NewsNot a "what if". Can you name 3 new cool technologies that have come out in the last 5 years?

Yeah. Where are all the great new Mac native apps putting electron to shame, avalanche of new JS frameworks, and affordable SaaS to automate more of life? AI can write decent code, why am I not benefiting from that a consumer?
LLMs, Apple Silicon, self-driving cars just off the top of my head without really thinking about it.
Incredibly cheaper batteries and solar panels. Much better induction stoves.
Neura Link, Quantum computers are making interesting milestones with Microsoft releasing a processor chip for Quantum computing. Green steel is another interesting one, though not as 'sexy' as the previous two.
Uhhh, LLMs? The shit computers can do now is absurd compared to 2020. If you showed engineers from 2020 Claude, Cursor, and Stable Diffusion and didn't tell them how they worked their minds would be fucking exploding.
