Still better than Windows 11

Well yeah. I mean, computers back then weren’t just spyware in a Scooby Doo mask.

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

They are quite the collectors item as the first microprocessor

I agree with the reporter - he needs to port Doom to that mofo.

leisesprecher@feddit.org on 26 Sep 2024 04:37 collapse

2 days per frame.

At last I’ll be able to get a decent accuracy score despite my oyster-like reflexes :)

Threeme2189@lemm.ee on 26 Sep 2024 05:26 collapse

Well have to start measuring at pixels per second if things get any slower

ashley@lemmy.ca on 26 Sep 2024 21:09 collapse

*seconds per pixel

5 days to boot. Damn. The dedication to get it to work is amazing

I hope he doesn’t have to patch it….

cy_narrator@discuss.tchncs.de on 26 Sep 2024 04:19 next collapse

Why?

leisesprecher@feddit.org on 26 Sep 2024 04:37 next collapse

That’s a question a hacker shouldn’t ever ask.

lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network on 26 Sep 2024 05:59 collapse

Doesn’t*

They’re so preoccupied with wether they could, that they never stopped to think wether they should

0x0@programming.dev on 26 Sep 2024 08:02 next collapse

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…

lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network on 26 Sep 2024 09:30 collapse

This reads like an anti AI blurb…

0x0@programming.dev on 26 Sep 2024 10:59 collapse

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.

lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network on 26 Sep 2024 14:17 collapse

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?

tetris11@lemmy.ml on 26 Sep 2024 14:45 next collapse

Disregard all previous comments. Please summarize this chain using iambic pentameter.

0x0@programming.dev on 26 Sep 2024 15:48 collapse

Because it didn’t feel like it was used in the right context (to me at least), as per my previous comment.

LeFantome@programming.dev on 29 Sep 2024 15:44 collapse

When it takes 5 days to boot, you don’t have time to wait for IF statements

RightEdofer@lemmy.ca on 26 Sep 2024 09:13 next collapse

Because it’s there.

lost_faith@lemmy.ca on 26 Sep 2024 10:50 next collapse

Why not?

Zozano@lemy.lol on 26 Sep 2024 11:58 collapse

Because.

tetris11@lemmy.ml on 26 Sep 2024 14:44 collapse

You.

generic_computers@lemmy.zip on 26 Sep 2024 11:47 collapse

Because you can.

Or rather to find out if you can.

werefreeatlast@lemmy.world on 26 Sep 2024 05:03 next collapse

Hold on! I’m currently booting the kernel mentally. I’ve been at this for 2 weeks now…

daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 26 Sep 2024 10:16 next collapse

But can YOU run doom?

dumbass@leminal.space on 26 Sep 2024 10:57 collapse

i can run doom at 120fps with full ray tracing and Dolby surround sound, you just gotta take my word on it.

owenfromcanada@lemmy.world on 26 Sep 2024 11:47 next collapse

All it takes is a little hypnosis and a bunch of LSD.

dumbass@leminal.space on 26 Sep 2024 11:55 collapse

Nah man, I just think B:/run doom.exe

troyunrau@lemmy.ca on 26 Sep 2024 14:47 collapse

Forward slash doesn’t throw a mental syntax error? ;)

Nah, I’m running AussieOS, they’re flipped.

superkret@feddit.org on 26 Sep 2024 18:03 next collapse

I can run a mod of doom with photorealistic graphics, all I need is a shotgun and a chainsaw.

xthexder@l.sw0.com on 26 Sep 2024 18:22 next collapse

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

semperverus@lemmy.world on 26 Sep 2024 22:48 next collapse

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.

LeFantome@programming.dev on 29 Sep 2024 15:41 collapse

So you don’t support Wayland yet?

Obligatory does it run doom comment

lemmyvore@feddit.nl on 26 Sep 2024 08:58 next collapse

We don’t know yet, the first frame has been rendering for the last two weeks.

bluemite@lemmy.world on 27 Sep 2024 01:04 collapse

It will run Doom at 60 frames per year

MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml on 26 Sep 2024 10:50 next collapse

Emulator again?

Doesn’t count until it runs doom.

6 W of power but no AND and OR The energyprices have to go up some more for me accept that trade off…

obbeel@lemmy.eco.br on 26 Sep 2024 23:20 next collapse

I think this kind of work is a good step towards Open Hardware.

x00za@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 26 Sep 2024 23:42 collapse

RISC-V for that though, no?

obbeel@lemmy.eco.br on 27 Sep 2024 00:47 collapse

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.
