30-something years ago I was imagining our universe as a microscopic particle in a much more complex and larger universe, and it tortured me with fear. The idea of infinity was even more frightening, or even that there could be an edge with nothingness beyond. So I guess it was more comforting, although scary, thinking it was stack upon stack of larger and smaller universes enveloped in one another. The things that kept me fearfully petrified laying awake in bed as a child.

@FailuresWithJade 4 жыл бұрын

It’s been a big deal for a long time. We have it much easier nowadays. I can just write some HDL and hit a button, assuming my HDL is any good and I’m not being too ambitious with the clock speed. If your signal starts changing too early or finishes arriving too late, then your flip flop ends up being filled with garbage. I couldn’t imagine doing timing analysis by hand in the 60s, even for a little few thousand transistor CPU like the 6502

It's stuff like this that I can't even begin to wrap my head around how this could've possibly been created. I'm sure like a lot of things, it's a bit more understandable when you break it down into small parts, but regardless there's no way this could ever be easy to make. If you know how chaotic these simulations can be, you know how incredible it is to not only make a large scale 'infinite' pattern, but for that pattern to also logically interact in order to execute a series of commands. So cool.
