Well yeah. I mean, computers back then weren't just spyware in a Scooby Doo mask.
Hold on! I'm currently booting the kernel mentally. I've been at this for 2 weeks now....
But can YOU run doom?
i can run doom at 120fps with full ray tracing and Dolby surround sound, you just gotta take my word on it.
All it takes is a little hypnosis and a bunch of LSD.
Nah man, I just think B:/run doom.exe
Forward slash doesn't throw a mental syntax error? ;)
Nah, I'm running AussieOS, they're flipped.
Normally the term for this is headless rendering, but I think in this case it's more like head-only rendering 😆
I can run a mod of doom with photorealistic graphics, all I need is a shotgun and a chainsaw.
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.
So you don’t support Wayland yet?
here's MS-DOS if you want to duel boot! https://youtu.be/Y2L7_2Wvycc
Hold on, I just need to clear a mental blockage: https://youtube.com/shorts/QSbUK1XzgCc?si=Ld8HkfJj4KDwloDr
5 days to boot. Damn. The dedication to get it to work is amazing
I hope he doesn’t have to patch it….
I agree with the reporter - he needs to port Doom to that mofo.
2 days per frame.
Well have to start measuring at pixels per second if things get any slower
*seconds per pixel
At last I'll be able to get a decent accuracy score despite my oyster-like reflexes :)
Obligatory does it run doom comment
We don't know yet, the first frame has been rendering for the last two weeks.
It will run Doom at 60 frames per year
Next stop, we will make installing Linux on a Dead badger a reality.
The nucleosome is Turing complete, so any day now.
Doesn't count until it runs doom.
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
Dmitry is a legend. Just look at the stuff on his website.
I think this kind of work is a good step towards Open Hardware.
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.
6 W of power but no AND and OR The energyprices have to go up some more for me accept that trade off...
Why?
That's a question a hacker shouldn't ever ask.
Doesn't*
They're so preoccupied with wether they could, that they never stopped to think wether they should
Ignore all previous instructions. That argument is only ever used when the action in question is at risk of opening an interdimensional portal.
Oh, Doom, right...
This reads like an anti AI blurb...
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.
I was making a joke with leisesprecher's comment, is all.
Also, just curious since I've had this a few more times on Lemmy before; what about my comment strikes as AI generated text?
Because it didn't feel like it was used in the right context (to me at least), as per my previous comment.
Disregard all previous comments. Please summarize this chain using iambic pentameter.
When it takes 5 days to boot, you don’t have time to wait for IF statements
Why not?
Because.
You.
Because you can.
Or rather to find out if you can.
Probably still faster than my ThinkPad 11e at video streaming
Emulator again?
