If we can get to space and back with that, what's your excuse for needing any more?
>>109508494The modern internet is built on poorly optimized bloat
>>109508494That computer was an engineering marvel. The software was hand wired.
>>109508494I don't go to space, I make pretty pictures and videos
The only times I seem to get impressed by low specs is with game consoles. The PS2 and PSP in particular surprise me what people could do with megahertz on MIPS. And then you see people today hyper optimizing it even further.Maybe one day we might change programming culture to respect the power of the machine they have at their disposal.
>>109508552No you don't
>>109508494I imagine the computer was a glorified calculator, and the human astronauts did most of the mental heavy lifting. It wasnt a self driving spaceship.
>>109508558Customers love them
>>109508552post a picture for the one time
>>109508494I'm trying to play video games with my computer, not get to space.
the little altitude counter in my moonlander is written in react with a nodejs backend that talks to some python daemon that then uses c interopbut it does have a cute animation though
>>109508505On top of running on poorly optimized OS full of bloat.
>>109508967Thats a really weird way to describe linux
>>109508494every browser uses chromium, even if you try to avoid that with firefox programs and apps have chromium built in as a browser
>>109508993Weird? Unix's own authors knew it was bloated a decade before Linus even began copying the design to make Linux.
>>109509074Linux isn't Unix, so
>>109509291It's an implementation of it. Which is why it's weird.Unix was designed in the 70s, deprecated by its own authors in the 80s, and Linus implemented Linux in the 90s. Even though people from Bell and others like Andy told him not to lel
>>109509317I'm glad we agree that Linux isn't Unix. I'm sorry that your comparison was fallacious.
>>109509329The specifications are the same. If Unix has a bloated API, Linux inherited that since it has to be compliant with the POSIX spec.>I'm sorry that your comparison was fallacious.I'm not sure what you mean by this. Comparison in relation to what?
>>109508566Partly, it had impressive specs for its time, but it did a lot of lifting, though it shared its workload with humans on Earth, Astronauts with slide rules and other computers.The actual landing was mostly the astronauts with probes (sticks on the landing legs) as it would run out of memory as it approached, which is the funniest part.
>>109508494That just proves we never went to space.
>>109508494Calculating the trajectory of a single object in a vacuum is not even difficult. This post serves no useful purpose.
>>109508494Not this fucking thread again.The Apollo guidance computer performed a single task which wasn't particularly complicated.That's why it didn't need much processing power or memory.You're a retard for rehashing this, and you should kill yourself.
I'm actually thinking of downsizing my setup with the current prices. I'm just scared of the transaction costs or getting scammed, so maybe doing nothing is better for me
>>109508494Can it do CFD?
>>109509688>I'm a retarded niggerbrain who believes the jewish psyop designed to get White people to deny one of their greatest feats of engineering and exploration.
>>109508494The whole source code is available on github.I like the comments, likehttps://github.com/chrislgarry/Apollo-11/blob/dc4ea6735c464608d704fa183f3e3d08b013c42f/LUNAR_LANDING_GUIDANCE_EQUATIONS.s#L179also check line 1375 in the same file
>>1095084946 decades' worth of inflation
The landing script I'm writing for my reusable Kerbal booster is more complicated than the entire Apollo stack flight program.
>>109508494Flink is using all my ram bro
>>109508993>how can i seethe about linux out of nowherethe minds of corporate cucks are fascinating
>>109511603also in line 179 of PINBALL_GAME_BUTTONS_AND_LIGHTS.s (kek) the programmer is quoting Shakespeare, very classy (can't link it because 4chin thinks it's spam)
>>109508494Can't hold a candle to the Almighty GPU
>>109508505>>109508967More like bloated everything. The current world runs on layers upon layers upon layers of stuff that we don't really understand anymore.
>>109513457Yeah.
>>109511603imagine your life depending on someone's code which has temporary hacks in it still not removed for final release, kekimagine the absolute jeet slop that powers Boeing
We used the AGC to keep track of basic sections of the journey in case comms were lost and the astronauts needed to get home.We got to the moon using IBM 7094s that up linked the telemetry to the AGC which just executed on it.
>>109508553>impressed by low specs is with game consoles>surprise me what people could do with megahertz on MIPSSome o the old machines had some real cunning tricks up their sleeves.You'd probably not believe some of the things I've seen done with a commadore 64. One the more impressive is a flight simulator. Like, on the airforce base to train the pilots, grade flight simulator.Atari had the GEM desktop baked into a couple of hundred KB ROM o the ST that gave an OS that was basically win95 minus the start bar. And ten years earlier...>>109511789Lets see you make that by hand.
>>109513874>Atari had the GEM desktop baked into a couple of hundred KB ROM o the ST that gave an OS that was basically win95 minus the start bar.GEM was so fucking shit that it made Amiga look like a Silicon Graphics IRIX. get the fuck out of here, retard. lmao.

>>109509568>as it would run out of memory as it approached,iirc that was operator error as the astronaut pilot did not shut the radar off wishing to keep it running for reassurance, but it was not designed to be used for landing and overloaded the computer during critical phase
>>109514371>>as it would run out of memory as it approached,>iirc that was operator error as the astronaut pilot did not shut the radar off wishing to keep it running for reassurance, but it was not designed to be used for landing and overloaded the computer during critical phaseAs Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended toward the Sea of Tranquility, the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) in the Lunar Module repeatedly triggered program alarms 1201 and 1202. These indicated the computer was overloaded and running out of temporary working storage (core sets and VAC areas). The system performed software restarts, shedding lower-priority tasks while continuing the critical guidance and control functions needed for landing. Mission Control (with guidance officer Steve Bales and specialist Jack Garman) recognized the alarms as non-fatal and gave repeated “go” calls. Armstrong took semi-manual control for the final approach and landed successfully with little fuel remaining.The cause: rendezvous radar left in the wrong modeThe overload came from the rendezvous radar (the upward-looking radar used to track the Command Module for docking after ascent or in an abort), not the downward-looking landing radar.The crew left the rendezvous radar powered and its mode switch in AUTO TRACK (or SLEW) rather than the LGC (computer-controlled) position. This was intentional on Aldrin’s part for readiness in case of an abort, and it matched the checklist/procedure at the time.Due to a subtle electrical interface issue (phase mismatch between power supplies when not in LGC mode), the radar’s angle sensors generated a flood of spurious interrupt/counter-update requests to the computer—even though the radar was not providing useful data for the landing. This “cycle stealing” consumed roughly 13–15% of the AGC’s processing capacity.
>>109513988For the time, it was quite capable.Remind me again, What did winhoes look like? MacOS?how many floppies did workbench come on? That's, what? 5x the code size? Sure aint 5x extra goin on. More, sure, but 5x?
>>109508494It was an extremely specific device with a specialized function. Fucking idiot.
>>109513874>win95Nigger, please, it's barely Windows 1.0
>>109514845Visually... It's a lot closer to win95 than win3.11...Crashed a shit-tonne less than win1.0 too. (DESU, don't think I've used Win1. Recall DOS and 3.11, no between. Don't recall it ever crashing tho - stuff around it, sure...) Fraction of the resource draw and requirements.
>>109508494It didn't run a full general purpose commercially produced operating system. Plus these days we probably collect more mission data every minute than they did the entire Apollo mission.
>>109511603>trashy little subroutinesWonder what that guy would think of his coding from back then if he's lived to see the jeetification of today.
>>109508566>human astronauts did most of the mental heavy liftingthe buttons and interfaces were all fake so that the astronauts didn't go insane and had the illusion of control, at least when russians sent their disposable human monkeys
>>109508494It also ran using a lot of precomputed data that mainframes on Earth ran for weeks computing.
>>109508494That's lost tech tho. We can't replicate that anymore
>>109516096An incorrect caption.
>>109516096bait, don't fall for this reddit trick
Good read about the computer and landings. https://www.doneyles.com/LM/Tales.html> In fact, the RR switch settings on Apollo 11 should not have caused any problem. That they did so can be traced to another case of... faulty documentation.Lmao, first "its not a bug, its a feature!"
>>109508494i can get to space and back even faster with my rx 9070 ti.
>>109508494They also had a Nazi autist at the head. Can't beat that.
