Sure. Some software has to exist to make use of this system, for example something has to create the tag in the first place, and mall ic is a part of that, but the large address sp…

It’s a nice tutorial on base plus index addressing but from the title I expected a tutorial on pointer tags as x86_64 is what makes tags even possible, i.e. we have a 64b address s…

Is it like Automator for enterprise applications? http://macosxautomation.com/automator/

A digital computer is definitely a FSM. In fact, creating the state diagram of a simple calculator, and mapping that to digital logic by hand, and then building it on a breadboard …

I waffle on this one too. Institutions that do HFT have a huge capital cost and pay large fees before they even make their first trade. They also employ programmers, traders, etc. …

Personally I waffle on this myself. My instinct tells me it’s bad but then I try to decide what trading cadence I would limit it to. Assume there is a CEO who wants to do something…

First off, I admit I didn’t do my homework so I have no idea what I’m talking about, but couldn’t the Turing machine make a Turing machine interpreter and therefore be a self inter…

How about a 2 state 3 symbol Turing machine? That’s pretty simple, and universal too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfram%27s_2-state_3-symbol...

> web browsing, text editing and terminal. If that’s all you want try an iPad2. I think it would make a better “laptop” than a RPI. RPI doesn’t have a battery.

I used xcircuit, magic and irsim in university to make plenty of ASICs at MOSIS. Many universities still do. One can even get the NCSU PDKs for MOSIS for free. Totally compatible w…

The second example is a medical IoT telemetry device. If the parent’s project had antenna in package I totally believe $20M for the project, especially as it includes rf validation…

What’s a fast AI chip? :) What process node Google uses for TPU, one possibility for an AI chip, is not in the public domain since v1 but it’s very unlikely this chip is on the ble…

Was 7nm a requirement? I didn’t gather that from the thread. Small run 22nm is certainly available. These are fabricated in the US, albeit at an Intel site. https://www.mosis.com/p…

Just get it to run cobol and you’re golden.

Did you stop developing software altogether? What doesn’t break compatibility from time to time?
