MMIX is created by Prof. Knuth purely for expressing his algorithms. Back then C++ and Java were the latest, hottest sh… (and would soon be outdated themselves). Prof. Knuth didn’t like C++ and general programming language fashion. So he invented MMIX. It was never meant to be implemented in real HW.
I don’t know whst’s wrong with the other CPU architectures you listed. I especially wonder why Sparc wasn’t used more.
I am referring to both the design, and the independent, and auditable manufacture of the CPU. It should be noted that such a CPU needn’t fully compete with modern ARM, Intel, AMD, etc. CPUs, but it would be an incredible boon to have a fully trustworthy piece of hardware, even if it is considerably lower in it’s strength....
Hello everybody! I’m a student living and studying in south Italy. As you might already know, there have been a few protests made by Ultima Generazione (Brutally translated: Last Generation) which have been object of debate and disputes (and mostly critiques)...
As @sexy_peach said, there is "Last Generation" here in Germany, too. And as you said about Italy, here they are doing more harm than good for climate protection. People who are already convinced that we need urgent climate action like the last generation. But they don't need to be convinced because they already are. And the people who are not fully convinced, they get very angry about the climate movement. In Berlin an ambulance on duty was hindered by the "Klimakleber" (climate gluers) who glue their hand to the street.
Hehe, ok. I think it is not done enough to stop global warming. Maybe my writing "It is not ignored" gave such a wrong impression. But we have a climate initiative in my town's politics, including the mayor. We have newspaper articles about climate change, and I don't mean about the "Last generation". We have the city's supplier for energy, busses, water etc. doing climate actions.
Edit: We have a climate protection minister. So it is NOT ignored.
We do have the green "taz" newspaper in Germany. But the mainstream media, especially the "Bild", do indeed a bad propaganda to the masses. I don't like general cop-bashing and such but I feel the urge to vomit when the politicians talk about economic growth. Or when our chancellor says we can't save the climate with abstinence/refraining ("Verzicht"). In contrast I think we can't save the climate WITHOUT abstinence/refraining!

How feesible is it to create a fully libre CPU?
