dulapbot: Logged on 2025-06-13 00:30:56 crtdaydreams: I'd be interested to know why you didn't pursue it asciilifeform
asciilifeform: (i.e. same reason as wai not very interested in mit cadr )
dulapbot: Logged on 2020-08-06 19:20:48 asciilifeform: almost certainly shares the main defect of it tho ( i.e. much of the cadr os is intimately tied up with the kludges required by period silicon )
dulapbot: Logged on 2020-02-11 16:30:18 asciilifeform: 'cadr' was designed to be buildable with the off-the-shelf discrete semiconductors ('bitslice') of its day, and as a consequence extremely baroque. 3600 inherited this gnarl.
dulapbot: Logged on 2020-02-11 16:29:26 asciilifeform: that being said, the 'cadr' and '3600' series machines are likely the ~last~ thing a would-be designer of 'lisp cpu' oughta be looking at;
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2025-06-13#1117118 << various things, thus far, but very little that imho anyone would want to read about
dulapbot: Logged on 2025-06-13 00:31:18 crtdaydreams: You've been off work for a while, too, what have you been up to?
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2025-06-13#1117113 << actually tried that one (& similar) for digging through chip datashits. verdict: worse than useless
dulapbot: Logged on 2025-06-13 00:26:41 crtdaydreams: I'd spent a little bit of time studying the schematics, and using an LLM assistant to try and understand it
asciilifeform so far asciilifeform's verdict on 100% of gptism
asciilifeform: 'hey bot, what bits should i set in what register on rockchip 3128 to switch video output to lvds?' bot proceeds to give detailed but wholly worthless answer cooked from soup of datashits for other chips, incl. from other vendors, etc
