canadians love that loving arm

also we invented basketball and superman and we won't shut up about that either

the inventors of basketball and superman did so outside of canada, were also american citizens, and afaik never returned to canada lol

i'm surprised they haven't tried to put superman on the $50 lol

i lolled but irl all of that code was designed for the guidance computers of apollo which would barely be what you call "embedded systems" by todays standards and surely highly optimized. :colbert:

it bugs me when someone quotes the same old chestnut about how "your high school calculator has more processing power than the computers that landed on the moon!" because it's like, yes, maybe by some metric like clock speed or memory, but those computers were built from the ground up by teams of world expert engineers and scientists to perform one task, and they would do it far better than your ti-83 even if it could run the same code

i sometimes throw cables away

i mean straight into the bin without spending 10+ years in the box of might-come-in-handy-someday first

im a fucking monster

the apollo computers used acoustic delay lines as memory, and they somehow got them to work reliably inside the loudest machine ever built as it tried to shake itself to bits

The Apollo Guidance Computer ran at 2MHz, with 4K of RAM and 72K ROM, while a Ti-83 is slightly but definitely better. The main advantage for the Apollo is that it's man-rated and guaranteed to give the correct answer, while the Ti-83 probably would give the right answer.
E: OTOH, even running emulators and that-which-I-tell-you-three-times-is-true, my phone can probably still do better than the AGC at guiding the Apollo module.

you can't just compare memory and clock speed with two vastly different architectures though

the zilog z80 in a ti-83 is a general purpose microprocessor that can do a lot of things reasonably well

the apollo guidance computer is built from the hardware level to do the few tasks it needs to do as quickly and reliably as was possible in the day

i don't know anything about the actual construction of the AGC but i wouldn't be at all surprised if, for instance, it had circuits built to do certain important operations entirely in hardware, maybe even analog hardware, thousands of times faster than if they were run in code

i'd compare the AGC to a modern ASIC or FPGA, not a general-purpose processor
