This is one of the current news articles: Scientists turn memory chips into processors to speed up computing tasks[^]
Ok, I get it that they make ternary memories. That's fine, but not really sensational. Using ternary memories does not magically speed up the entire system, as they would like to make us believe. It would simply extend the value range of the memory words and also raise the question of how to interface it to a binary bus without creating a bottleneck.
Then they write:
"Asst Prof Chattopadhyay who is from NTU's School of Computer Science and Engineering, said in current computer systems, all information has to be translated into a string of zeros and ones before it can be processed."
Nowhere inside that box under your desk anything is translated to a string of zeros and ones, if we forget some Q&A ideas for now. Serial communication may speed up if you are not limited to binary symbols, but that's about all.
If this 'News' makes any sense at all, it may be that they made a new sort of serial ROMs that need less time to up- or download their content over the serial pins. That's nice, but not really so spectacular.
Edit: I was right. Those memories are indeed just a new sort of serial ROM.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Read the same and wondered how, as they claimed, this meant the CPU was no longer necessary, unless all they've really built is a ternary dynamic PLA. (for which speed is rarely an issue and a CPU even less, if ever, a requirement.)

FPGAs and microcontrollers also 'boot' their configurations from serial ROMs and it's nice that they can speed up the process a little, but it's not really that sensational.

I've watched with a certain amount of wonder as Marc decided he wanted to push forward with the number of articles he's produced. Over the Christmas break, I sat down and wrote the first part of some articles that I had promised SuperLloyd a while back about doing MVVM in a Console application and foolishly, I have decided that I'm going to concentrate on getting my combined article count into triple figures this year. After 4 hours sleep last night, I just had to get up in the early hours of this morning and continue creating the code for part 2 of the MVVM series. If Marc hadn't been such an inspiration, I might have slept the whole night.

You should do it just for the points. Chris told me in strictest confidence that to celebrate CodeProjects 15th Birthday he will be converting all points to money at 1 point=$1. I'm concentrating my efforts this year on marrying Griff.

You better get yourself one of these[^] then.

So ... you're having a sex change, and hiring a hitman to "off" Herself?
Wish you'd told me, I'd have upped her life insurance...

No sex change required, it might still be 1984 in Wales but in the rest of the civilised world, Men can marry men.
So what you up to tonight Handsome?

He's more likely to marry a member of the flock, that is legal in Wales. Probably not the rest of the world though.

Thank you. Same to you! You get more lives than Leslie

Very good one. If you haven't read story/plot, then movie would be great. You shouldn't read story/plot/reviews of some movies before watching. And this is one of them. One more movie 'Tucker & Dale vs. Evil' falls under same category. Pure horror-comedy. Don't read anything about movie before watch, that's why I didn't give link(spoiler).
