Congratulations, it's been a long journey but I'm sure it paid off :)

And compact I guess, which is a big advantage in "retro-like" systems

Oh so you made it programmable, that's cool!
I've been thinking about fixed-function vs programmable HW design (after learning about RPi Pico's PIO) and it's neat to get some confirmation bias :D

Not quite the same, as you need to switch into/out of Thumb mode so these cannot be mixed together like RISC-V's compressed instructions.
But yeah let's be lenient and give it a pass. 16/32 bit instruction lengths are a sweet spot between x86's madness and dogmatic RISC's wastefulness.

Wouldn't you care for storage purposes to allow lossless RGB encoding no matter what you do to the alpha channel?
At runtime idk, I guess you're all right and premultiplied is better.

Nah, long live load-store architectures with lots of registers, low ISA complexity and fixed instruction length (I make an exception for RISCV's C extension because it's dead simple and quite effective).

That's it, I still think the project is a huge net positive for regular users and I don't wish any ill towards him... heck, I refuse to believe he's *evil*... but as you said, my money won't go towards *that*, especially when so much of my pocket money has already served that purpose.

This one hurts especially though, I was very fond of both the project and his backstory.

Looks like a ROM? But it also has what look like rows and columns... is it some kind of RAM?

Why wouldn't it be comparable and why wouldn't it be easier (*and* more predictable)?
Your second argument is true-ish (depends on which design) but I don't see how that scenario should dismiss everything other advantage of problem around nuclear reactors... IMO it's practically a non-issue.

That level of intent would be comparable to dropping a nuke, at a point where dropping a literal nuke would be easier and more predictable.

Private investment is being directed at smaller reactors precisely because there is basically no market for the big ones.
I'm willing to let them research that area while governments invest in the standard approach.

I'll concede it's something to worry about, but I'm inclined to believe that's already the case at the design stage.
I wouldn't want to test that hypothesis in real life though :)

Wasn't a nuclear power plant hit by a Russian missile and a whole lot of nothing happened?
