No mention of fps or latency, authors clearly not gamers.

Imagine some Smash Bros players who get pissy about 16.6ms playing on a CrabCPU with 13s latency...

You can also do it with NOT gates. The driver needs to overpower the gates to change the bit and then it acts like a D flip flop rather than an RS flip flop like NAND gates will. But that's generally how they're actually made. SRAM generally looks like this: The side transistors are called access transistors; they're there so you can selectively read/write, but aren't needed to store the bit.

yes, tired brain hiccup :)

So here’s some bad math. 160 crabs per NAND gate / byte. Doom’s original file size is roughly 2.39MB (I couldn’t find an actual source for this but it’s touted all over the web).

So 2390000 bytes * 160 crabs is 382400000 crabs.

So you can run doom on 382.4 million crabs

Edit: store, not run

From the paper the picture is of an and gate.

Scientist answer is part by Chatgpt. Maybe i should have enabled wolfram.

Don't forget to bring a towel.

After spending a couple decades on this planet it’s clear that the dolphins and mice really are the smart ones.

Yea it’s this one. The evolved spider people used them in their equivalent of information age

Also I think something very similar happened in the 3 Body Problem trilogy at some point

Hex.

Came here to mention the trisolaran computer! Ngl I'm still unclear on the point of the whole virtual trisolaris.
