This is a very dangerous way of thinking. You cannot tell at the time of discovery if specific research will be useful or not down the line. You need to advance the research in all directions, even if some of them seem silly or useless, or else you will handicap your progress in other fields which you didn't see the connection with at first.

Why mips and not RiscV? I would assume it's easier to emulate in software and has good support in linux

EDIT: found it

Some architectures had arbitrarily-shifted operands all the time (ARM), some have shitty addressing modes necessitating that they would be slow (RISCV), some would need more than 4KB to even decode instructions (x86), and some were just too complex to emulate in so little space (PPC).

Could it be the pc relative addressing often used on risc-v would be slow to run on 4004?

Jade plants were very popular as house plant in the soviet union, everyone had one at home. This could be a reason why AI got confused there

1.5 ton aluminum bar, chilled to absolute zero. This would be a massive project to setup

~~I got 84 too, looks like we see colors different from the normal people~~

I forgot I have night mode enabled on my phone, after turning it off I got closer to average, oops

Funny you mentioned arch, as steam deck os is based on arch, so it is using arch btw

It's the other way around, you will get all of the tickets which are missing plate info. Some guy did it and regrets it, there is a documentary about it.

17 thousand years old, but looks great, better than some medieval drawings

Centrifuge spins really fast so you need to balance where you put the samples, or else it will vibrate. The trick is to put them on the opposite side or equally spaced apart from each other.

I can't quite understand what is your point? Are you arguing that both JVM and WASM are bad? With this I agree, they both have terrible performance and in an ideal world we wouldn't use any of them.

Are you arguing that JVM bytecode is better than WASM? That's objectively not true. One example is a function pointer in C. To compile it to JVM bytecode you would need to convert it to the virtual call using some very roundabout way. But in WASM you have native support for function pointers, which gives much better flexibility when compiling other languages.
