Makes me want to run agents on it

They bundle both python and ollama in that app bundle, and the ollama folder is something like 500MB unpacked , bundled python I think was 80MB.

Not sure what they do on the windows side.

Well - in this case the EWD in TFA - has a footer that says.

And so seem to be the case with most of the other EWDs I looked at as well.

Wasnt the original famously in written with Fountain pen? And the typed out version reproduced much later?

can not answer to the other points. But under 'set up shop' there is a selection of metric vs imperial units. (among many other things)

They'll probably give us 300 years for the low-low price of total serfdom

Yes you are right, I didnt express what I meant very well.

looking up static values is quick and easy. When you need to lookup results from previous stages of pipeline rather than just feeding them forward, thats where I run into trouble. But I am a relatively fresh FPGA designer, so I am sure it can be done. And I probably need to level up my boards a bit too.

FPGA speed is a common misconception. They often have run at quite modest frequencies, and come with limited memory capacity compared to a GPU at same price range.

Speed (clocks speed) , is dependent on your design layout, and for any resonably advanced layout, it takes lots of knowledge to push the clockspeed beyond 200Mhz on 'consumer'/prosumer models. (Compare to a few GHz for GPU/CPU).

FPGA speed shine where they can pipeline massively parallel calculations through pipelines with minimal lookups.

without having the full background here. This feels like a very valid reason

perhaps religious and moral pressure not to excersize the choice available has decreased between 50s and 2000s

What's interesting to me, is how it selected this heavy dark shadows brutalist style, which is a sort of stylized skeuomorphism , and then it decided to add a background different from page bg, breaking whatever illusion there was.
