The real magic is that the chip has to emulate another old chip to manage the feat.

    Why?

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

        Doesn’t*

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

          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…

            This reads like an anti AI blurb…

              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.

                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?

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

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

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

        Or rather to find out if you can.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
