Have you seen the new CPU architecture? It's on Mill. It's literally on Transputer. It's on Rock with Sun. It's literally on AMULET. You can probably find it on Itanium. Dude it's on Tesla. It's a CDC STAR original. It's on E1. You can program it on E1. You can go to E1 and program it. Get onto E1 right now. Go to E1. Dive into E1. You can E1 it. It's on E1. E1 has it for you. E1 has it for you.

In all seriousness congratulations on finding $30 million to launder and lose immediately. Hope your Porsche runs good.

Really would like to understand how the mill got going and how anyone can see it progressing at this point. I know folks are working on it on the side but it's just bleh now.

$30M to either do nothing at all, or change the world.

I wish them success, if only to keep everyone on their toes (the biggest change the MPU industry has seen in the last ten years is switching to the _slightly_ less bloated aarch64), but if I have to sit through the 10s animation on their homepage ever again I'm throwing my phone at the wall. Give me a whitepaper.
