That’s right. Did somebody investigate the same thing and had different results? Because in this thread there are only theoretical explanations why it cannot be, and not experiments. So in short, there is only one data point.


What conclusions do you believe it is reasonable to draw in light of this? Is your position significantly different from what I said:

> either way there's no reason to take anecdotes uncritically.

> Because in this thread there are only theoretical explanations why it cannot be

No, the explanations are referring to the mountain of evidence based on the physics of the chips and the known characteristics of the chips of the time. That's not theoretical, that past observations.


Show me those observations. Without that your word is just another anecdote.


what would you accept as evidence? does it need to be certified by a notary public?


You know well that a single study about the temperature response of the given CPU is enough.


Those CPUs can fly. Now you have to show me a single study about the flight response of the given CPU.


The logic which you apply here caused several decades and centuries of scientific delays for no good reason.


that's right, we should have been throwing CPUs off a cliff several decades and centuries ago.


Trolling on HN might be one of the stupidest things I've witnessed in a while.
