PJ5 TTL CPU

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-25 05:05:58

Well, we did it… we cracked 4MIPS on our TTL CPU. I have to admit I’m both relieved and surprised. The key parts to achieving this was to decrease the latency for the instruction decode and also the flag register writing. The time to decode an instruction, perform a bit of math and then write to the flags was at around 270nS. With the changes we made, the instruction decode had a radical reworking and the flag writing had some big changes as well, means we go this down to under 200nS. Which m

I chatted with five AI bots - these made the best conversations

zdnet.com Lance Whitney 2026-02-25 11:00:13

Lance Whitney/ZDNET Many popular AIs offer a voice mode that enables you to carry on live conversations with a chatbot. Often, chatting by voice is more convenient, more natural, and more fun than trying to converse through text prompts. Plus, you can typically review a transcript of the conversation after you're done, so you still have access to the actual text. But which AIs are the best conversationalists?

JPMorgan cuts Apple stock price target on soft iPhone 17 outlook and delayed AI payoff

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-02-25 14:13:38

Apple’s stock took a minor confidence hit today, as JPMorgan lowered its price target, though the firm kept its overall rating intact. The adjustment comes as analyst Samik Chatterjee and his team dial back expectations for Apple’s medium-term revenue and earnings, citing weakening demand drivers tied to the upcoming iPhone 17 cycle. Here are the details. A 4.17% reduction, but with no change in rating Chatterjee cut his 12-month price target for AAPL from $240 to $230, citing weaker iPhone 1

Changing one gene can restore some tissue regeneration to mice

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-25 18:09:26

Regeneration is a trick many animals, including lizards, starfish, and octopuses, have mastered. Axolotls, a salamander species originating in Mexico, can regrow pretty much everything from severed limbs, through eyes and parts of brain, to the spinal cord. Mammals, though, have mostly lost this ability somewhere along their evolutionary path. Regeneration persisted, in a limited number of tissues, in just a few mammalian species like rabbits or goats. “We were trying to learn how certain anima

A Review of Aerospike Nozzles: Current Trends in Aerospace Applications

news.ycombinator.com Cardenas 2026-02-27 04:33:10

The design of rocket nozzles aims to expand the combustion gases until the exit pressure matches the ambient pressure, thereby maximizing thrust. However, ambient pressuredecreases as the rocket ascends, posing a challenge for conventional nozzles, which operate efficiently only at a specific altitude [ 30 ]. By adjusting their flow characteristics to the varying atmospheric pressure, aerospike nozzles offer a significant advantage in this regard. To quantify this impact, the thrust coefficient
