Funny how people always jump to conclusions when it comes down to people enforcing their patents. My understanding of this drama is, that APA is a small taiwanese startup that was actually the first company with a RGB LED with integrated dr

Depends on what you call "State of the art"? Cutting edge logic processes are a domain of Intel, TSMC, Samsung, GF and the incumbents in China. But for everything else, like IoT, Sensors, Power, you can find plenty of companies an

Especially on microcontrollers or DSPs this could be quite useful. I have never seen a C-compiler able to infer a bit rotation instruction, though.

There is an important difference: BASIC is interpreted, not compiled.

Well, the 6502 is simply not made to be programmed in a high level language. Note that there are many instructions that simply don't map to high level language features, such as bit rotation (not shift!), BCD mode and indirectly indexe

Well, this is linking to IEEE. I have mixed feelings about this, since IEEE is actually doing a good job about publishing. They have far better reviews than most other journals, and members free get access to most journals anyways.

I agree, they tried to do more than they should have. A general issue I see, however, is that the real world need for flexible displays is far more limited than earlier projections suggested. If you switch to a rigid display, there is no re

They most likely found a source for NOS (new old stock) chips. I find it highly unlikely that they started another run. Considering the age of the chip, the masks are probably not even available in a digital format and the fab that made it

"The hand-coded x86-64 AVX code is from 1.0× to 2.4× faster than the best C code (which is the AVX model code). This speedup was not as impressive as hoped." Curious. So assembly optimization does not really help that much with mo

Surely it is a noble goal for a state or a religious community to fund scientific endeavours. But in absolutely no way they should be connected by content. Even in the western world, I am not aware of a single example where a religious comm
