  1. They did up their game, it looks great!

  2. You can unroll loops and exploit better branch prediction behavior.

  3. Implemented In Hardware...

  4. He is so enthusiastic about his research! I ❤️ his energy.

  5. Demo gods are not with him today.

  6. I am learning about CPU pipelines now. I am working on a RISC-V with a five stage pipeline.

  7. Microcontrollers. I learned the most about computers from bare metal programming ARM Cortex M3 after I graduated.

  8. Unroll loops to avoid branch predictor miss...

  9. Indeed. I am glad he's immortalized on the web. Imagine if we had more stuff from Feynman or so.

  10. ​ @teaser6089 game, point, match.

  11. You can design your own CPU core, it's actually not to hard. There's tons of circuit sims that you can use, some of them can export to run on an FPGA.

  12. log4j looks a lot like python logging...

  13. I would start with python... I started with basic on a TRS-80 when I was 7 or 8.... I used to read the basic stuff from 321 contact magazine and not type in the stuff meant for apple computers...

  14. Depends on how many hardware thread cores it has. RISC-V calls these harts.

  15. Reed-Solomon error correction is a mechanism to improve data integrity by encoding redundant information that can be used to correct errors in the sequential bit reads. It's useful in any mechanism where data integrity is required on bit streams. Compact discs are the classical example, but it's also used in QR codes and data transmissions.

  16. Oh... I see what you did there ...

  17. Neuromorphic stuff is concerning as a successful super intelligent AI based on neuromorphic hardware would be hard to find. Super Intelligent AI based on von Neumann architecture is easy to find, just find where all the electricity is going.

  18. Been meaning to check this out, I heard Factorio uses lua for mods.

  19. In python its called a function decorator. If you ever used the python library Flask, you have used monads without knowing it

  20. It just sounds like RUST bends over backwards to solve a problem that better technique and testing could solve....

  21.  @DanielNyong  if this is a simulation, you must be the best you can be so the universe algorithm selects your code for the next version of this sim.

  22. Knuth wrote that book on algorithms.

  23. How? The PDP-11 was a 16 but machine...

  24. They also had vax with 32bits... but the address space of 32 bits is 4GB

  25. Pretty much all of them.

  26. ​ @zer0k4ge the fundamental unit of information theory. There's a whole mathematics about that now.

  27. One Punch Man!

  28. Von Neumann memory transfers are orders of magnitude more energy than the actual calculations.

  29. If we have AI that can describe an image in text, perhaps we could get AI to watch videos and determine emotions. Might teach us something about personality ... Maybe we could train AI to be funny.

  30. Well assembly... Tiny tiny bits of very specific assembly code to handle some core architecture stuff... context switching, interrupt disabling... as examples. There may be others.

  31. I learned the basics of Galois finite field arithmetic from the Rijndael algorithm.
