BinaryByter
it just calculates and gives signals
Dima
lol
BinaryByter
RAM, MMU, PIC, BIOS etc
D
Now go through it
D
and let the role of BIOS/DRIVERS and MOTHERBOARD sink in ...
BinaryByter
No you don't understand that you can run everything as a single unit
BinaryByter
completely separated from the motherbaord
BinaryByter
the CPU can work completely on it's own without BIOS and without drivers
Ariana
well theoretically yes
CPU could be treated as just a chip
Dima
chips and potato
Dima
your cpu is a potato
BinaryByter
all it needs is electricity
BinaryByter
less than 1.5 volt, btw
BinaryByter
14nm ones should do , I guess :P require seriously little hands
you can use big levers if you prefer

in this wwhitepaper you can see how you need to hook your levers up
BinaryByter
about 900 iirc

Okay .. Now wei will continue lateer :) Nice discussion it was
D
have fun guys

note this is from 2004..

Could we just classify drivers under loadable kernel modules
BinaryByter
Could we just classify drivers under loadable kernel modules
okay let's say they are
BinaryByter
gg

PS: That little levers is what Motherboard is for :) A smaller version but yeah
Ariana
that was referring to another person...

The CPU has a little OS inside🤔
Dima
linux lite
Dima
because windows sucks
Mat
Closed source :P
Dima
nah it just sucks
olli
Minix, probably the most used OS
Dima
yeah
Ariana
wait ive actually never seen minix
Ariana
ooh
olli
Minix itself is open source, written by Andrew Tannenbaum
Dima
it controls cpu inside
Dima
it has mini conductors, so when computer gets powered off it still operates a bit and shuts down

Drivers are stored in the kernel
BinaryByter
Its the gpu not the cpu
BinaryByter
The cpu is just a chip
olli
search for "cpu intel minix"
e.g. https://www.zdnet.com/article/minix-intels-hidden-in-chip-operating-system/
Mat
CPU operates above your OS
BinaryByter
BinaryByter
What the actual fuck?
BinaryByter
Why?

Why minix? Minix has very few features, I don't even think it has USB support
olli

Because Intel decided to use minix

No, because the drivers are separate software and are generally not even GPL
Dima
bruh
Dima
frontend BRUH
Dima
frontend for pussies

Talking about Linux?
