He was also entered into the Guiness Book of Records for "strangest diet."

He ate the award plaque they gave him.

I just checked and they actually disabled AI Overview. LMAO

SpaceX will not be selling itself to Boeing, surprising absolutely nobody

You're remembering correctly, every other logic gate can be built from NAND gates, which is the foundation of this sort of minimal-instruction-set exercise. Beyond that, you need to be able to move data and change your program counter (jump, often conditionally). Then, if you want parity with modern instruction sets beyond just being turning complete, you need return and interrupt for control flow.

His ownership stake is undisclosed but has long been speculated to be at least 50.1% for the obvious reason

Gabe has said multiple times he would never sell Valve to Microshaft.

Every time I see these "rumors" I can't help but think that they are a malicious tactic by Microshaft to try and influence their more longshot buyout offers-- Microshaft really really wants Valve, this has been known for at least a decade. And some overzealous young execs are foolishly ready to try and pressure Valve with these bullshit tactics, completely unaware of what dangerous game they are playing legally.

I have no doubt in my mind Valve will never be sold to Microshaft or come anywhere close to it so long as Gabe or his confidants are at the helm. They are ex-Microsoft employees. They built Windows 3.0. They know it's inner workings and failings very intimately and they only begrudgingly tolerate Windows because it's the dominant market share. That's the whole reason SteamOS and Steam Deck exist, to chip away at Microsoft's attempts to monopolize PC gaming. And that's exactly why Microsoft is hoarding IP and restricting their most prestigious titles, like Halo, to Windows through anticheat.

Whoever is starting these rumors are either pathetically stupid and attention hungry or are spreading misinformation in a hail mary at the behest of Microshaft.

Bookmarking your comment so I can come back to it in a couple hours, if I hopefully remember to.

But yes, almost. I don't think the interrupt is necessary and the return isn't under certain architectures. I have a doc on my computer somewhere where I was investigating what the absolute minimum was to make a turning complete machine and, to my recollection, there was only 4-6 instructions that were absolutely necessary. The ones I remember off the top of my head are NAND, MOV, JUMPIF, and then I believe I included NOP in accordance with some principle. RET and INT were convenience features in this design.

Non-misandry/-sexism version:

A meme was made posing the humorous rhetoric of whether sex A would rather be stuck on an island with sex B or a bear. No distinction was made about the character of the sex B persona or the bear persona, it was left as a fill-in-the-blank for those who respond to rhetoric.

Sex B largely understood this to be stereotyping and hate speech directed towards them at large without any distinction about whom the rhetoric was implying. Audience was then divided between those who recognize equality and sexism versus those who believe either only apply to marginalized groups

with love, from an agender

there is an additional layer to this joke for those who understand turing completeness. And it elevates it to a whole other level of snark.
