I went to James' home to see the Megaprocessor a year ago, when he thought there was only a few months more work to do. It really is amazing to see the thing up close. Especially when you look at the sheer number of transistors that had to be soldered to make this. My favourite part was when James said that he's started off by just wanting a better understanding of how logic gates worked, and it just escalated from there.

"My favourite part was when James said that he's started off by just wanting a better understanding of how logic gates worked, and it just escalated from there." That's hilarious. Maybe a common thing. My posts on analog computing, esp neural or general-purpose, started similarly. I noticed analog and digital cell development used similar tools. Also that they used to build computers that way. The rabbit hole followed.
