Saul Griffith's books and lecture all predict the more than 25.000 electricians that are needed in the US and 40.000 electricians the EU needs in the next 10 years to install the transition to 100% electrical for all homes and business

I'll try to link to several of Alan's talks [1] referred to by localhost on the first books and printing press. This first one [2] is too short, there are more detailed versions. Talk [4] has different slides then I remember. [1]

That depends. If you would use our asynchronous runtime reconfigurable array called Morphle Logic [1] instead of FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), you could program this hardware Twitter in a 1000 hours and have it run at 50 Tbps. You w

Those millions of dollars have already been spent. For example the P4 [1] language (a HDL language) and the Tofino 3 chip. It started out as FPGA (NetFPGA) to do programmable packet routing at linespeed. You now have the P4 language to defi

Why not a single FPGA with 100Gbps ethernet or pcie with NVM attached? Around $5K for the hardware and $5K for the traffic per month. The software would be a bit trickier to write, but you now get 100x performance for the same price

We have designed several versions of Morphle Logic asynchronous runtime reconfigurable arrays. They can do the same as FPGA's but are not exactly the same gate arrays, as explaind in this readme: https://github.com/fibe

I'm even more sure it was not written by Larry Niven. I read most of Heinlein twice but read Niven at least 4 times.

I agree, having read most Heinlein ever published (even including his unfortunate right wing and conservative and unscientific ramblings that wasted my time), I never came across "If it is not one thing, it is two things."

No, this uses some stripped OS as an OS, instead of having Squeak itself be the OS.
