I've seen a number of those, and I'm pretty sure there's no way to condense a detailed explanation down to 3 hours while still being accessible to non-specialists. Even the current videos all begin with a "gross oversimplification" disclaimer, so they're probably not very detailed to begin with.
- wtallis 9y agoI think it would be possible to describe everything novel with the Mill in three hours (at least the stuff that's been made public so far). It probably wouldn't be possible to even begin covering the implications: how to use the novel features to achieve better performance or security. They did an entire talk on how to translate a switch block into Mill assembly; that talk didn't really introduce any new hardware features, just describe how to use them.
- loup-vaillant 9y agoProbably. But you'd have to be a specialist to infer the implications. I gather they wanted to be accessible to a wider audience.
