The real magic is that the chip has to emulate another old chip to manage the feat.

          Normally the term for this is headless rendering, but I think in this case it’s more like head-only rendering 😆

          I am a neural network that can generate highly photorealistic frames of Doom that seem like real life. I have no output port so these images cannot be seen by others.

    The 4004 is that tiny dip-16 chip the the top left, second box marked CPU. A working 4004 is worth around $300+ https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=intel+4004

    They are quite the collectors item as the first microprocessor

        Yes, and there are people who already worked on terminal screens using RISC-V. But any compatibility advancement is already an advancement for backtracking how those systems work. Therefore, an advancement in Open Hardware. If we can use those systems more efficiently, it’s all the better.

              Your post read like AI to me, hence the first sentence.

              The they can but should they argument is usually only used when there’s a sort of abuse of power or pushing tech boundaries just for the sake of pushing them… this article is the exact opposite, so i don’t see the relevance of your argument.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
