The Commodore 64 was the most widely sold home computer ever, at almost 17 million computers. Sporting 64 kB of memory, twice what took Apollo to the moon, all those millions of computers combined represented
just 1 Terabyte of computing power.

64kb of RAM or what? I can’t believe that it’s so small I don’t even know what a kb is I had to look it up it’s 1 million to make a GB 100,000 to make a MB. I don’t understand how you could even do anything with that technology like the new call of duty over 170GB to play. I can download up to 11.5MB a second on my computer. I wonder what computers will be like in 40 years. I’m thinking about buying virtual reality stuff but don’t know for sure maybe once it’s more popular.

RAM = Read Access Memory.












to keep it wow: Dicyanoacetylene, which occurs naturally in space, is a compound of carbon and nitrogen with chemical formula C4N2. It has a linear molecular structure, N≡C−C≡C−C≡N (often abbreviated as NC4N), with alternating triple and single covalent bonds. It can be viewed as acetylene with the two hydrogen atoms replaced by cyanide groups.

At room temperature, dicyanoacetylene is a clear liquid. Because of its high endothermic heat of formation, it can explode to carbon powder and nitrogen gas, and it burns in oxygen with a bright blue-white flame at a temperature of 5260 K (4990 °C, 9010 °F), the hottest flame in oxygen; burnt in ozone at high pressure the flame temperature exceeds 6000 K (5730 °C, 10340 °F).

It's an testament to how clever and efficient computations had to be back in the day. Now even efficient computer languages require multiple Megabytes (1MB = 15ish Commodore 64s) to make a simple program (Go, Java, etc.) and there's code like python which wastes a shit tonne of computer cycles in the name of ease of use. It's wild how far we've come, and how easy things are in comparison.

I program micro-controllers that have 8kb to 1MB of working memory. You'd be surprised what you can pull off with efficient code.

Not COD or anything, but you can make a pretty functional datalogger, AHRS, a very basic avionics package, etc. :shrug:

I bought a Commodore 64 with only Canadian Tire money.  It was 399.99 plus 7% tax.  I spent two years collecting the CT money.

My Vic-20 only had 3k memory, so 64k was opulent.

My first computer was the ZX81, I think it had 256 bytes of RAM. However, 128 bytes of that were for the screen but you could put it into "FAST" mode and the screen would blank and allow to double your memory usage from 128 bytes to 256 - wowser.
I also worked on microcontrollers, intel 8052/8032 etc - they had similar amounts of ram.
I'd like to reminisce and say I miss those days but.... nah lol

Oh, FYI, one project we made a 4-channel PID controller with 1 line (8 character) display and 4 buttons. IIRC there was 8K ROM on the 8052 so there were a lot of inefficient look up tables instead of using RAM because that was the only way to fit it all in!

The term "bugs" in relation to computers was coined by one of the first female computer ibm people whom had a motherboard burn out from a moth inside of the casing of the computer.

A literal bug in the system.

I'll accept that label :cookiemonster:

External observers will never see a black hole form or actually "eat" anything.

Gravitational time dilation will cause the collapsing star to appear to slow down as it collapses, asymptotically approaching a "frozen-in-time" state at the moment that the event horizon forms. The black hole will form, but external observers will just see a star nearly frozen at the edge of black hole formation, slowly redshifting beyond detect-ability. The same effect causes all in-falling matter towards an existing black hole to appear to slow and asymptotically approach a "frozen-in-time" state as it approaches the event horizon.

To be clear, the black holes are still forming, and the in-falling matter still falls in. But to an observer outside of the event horizon, it will appear as if both events never actually happen.

Any object of structural integrity has a resonate frequency. Vibrating that same frequency next to said object, in oscillating fashion, will cause the object to implode from structural un-integrity. Wether it be a wine glass, a steel support beam for a bridge, a human bone, or a ceramic model of a dalmatian cock.

In a similar way, this is why radios work. They are vibrating at the same frequency as the signal source.

Also, the poster beneath me has been through a phase of dicking random peanut butter jars at Walmart, then resealing them.

When I think of all the worries that people seem to find
And how they're in a hurry to complicate their minds
By chasing after money and dreams that can't come true
I'm glad that we are different we've better things to do
May others plan their future I'm busy loving you
"I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth"
How many corners does a sphere have?
"Love does not gloat over other people's sins but takes its delight in the truth"

This is mostly true for materials with low damping. If you have enough damping in the material to convert the kinetic/potential energy building up in the system into heat, then the amplitude of the response may stay low enough so that the object maintains its original geometry (in other words, it doesn't explode/implode, it just vibrates a lot and gets hot.
