I could scarcely believe your reference to the great scholar V. V. Vargomax, his paper on Mario Man Poly-nominals is one of the great masterworks of the age.
The first 6-7 minutes of this were possibly the worst and most painful thing I've ever witnessed with my own two eyes. If I was a mathematician, I think I would have a stroke. Thank you.
The best part is that, in the end, it's *still* just binary logic anyways. Also your 3d printer isn't set to print quite hot enough. Pump it up about 5-10 degrees F and it should print better.
I'm envious of the motivation it must take to put such extraordinary amounts of effort into these incredibly interesting if "useless" projects. I'm glad there are people like you in the world.
I just realized you built the FPU completely out of NAND gates, and your basic architectural unit is a NaN. That's clever. I'm on my third viewing and still finding jokes.
C++ is a terrible language for you to choose that statement for, because C++ has no problems with doing boolean arithmetic on floats. Sure, you might have to typecast a pointer to the float to act as a pointer to an integer, but that all boils down to directly doing boolean arithmetic on floats once you compile it.
@@fabricatorzayac Precisely! Though that was C, and while anyone familiar with C++ knows that it's basically just C with a few things changed and a bunch of stuff added on top, many people who Aren't familiar with it might assume that C allows you to do things that C++ doesn't, since it's older and considered 'lower level'.
1:32 I really like that joke, and best part is (it seems like) it doesn't actually take away from anyone who doesn't know about -1/12, because then it just seems like a random number you made up: "of course it doesn't equal that!"

I'm finding this a bit extra funny having actually abused Inf, -Inf and NaN in early attempts at GPGPU stuff. Had a whole set of matrices with most being 4x4 that represented common sequences of vector ops to 2x2 ones that represented logic gates using those values. The intent of the 2x2 being to do both branches of where you needed an if-else, feed the logic result into a lerp to pick which branch's result to use further. Took while for proper hardware support for branching in shaders so everyone had weird ways to approximate it.

@@rayredondo8160 I'm curious what Base 1 you are envisioning. As far as I am aware, Base 1 means one symbol, which I can only imagine as unary. Its even in the name, bi- being swapped for un-. Is there another way?
@@PopeGoliath Base 1 doesn't actually work, because you need more than one symbol for unary: One for counting, and some way to stop, which would be a 0 per say. Hence, you need two symbols at least to make anything meaningful.
@@rayredondo8160 using fixed length instructions might be enough. The processor would listen for an established length of time, and count up the number of pulses that came through on that clock cycle. You don't need an ending symbol if the processor already knows when to stop.
