I really like the diagrams! This is a great way to show what happens deep down. A lot of engineers I know have very poor understanding of how software actually works. However a couple of things: - Theres a lot of text and not all of it is valuable - Hijacking the browsers "back" button is kind of annoying.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. Regarding the back button issue, that was an oversight from my part. I'll fix that.

I am glad you liked the diagrams and simulations. I understand that it would have been better if the article was much shorter. I actually didn't want to leave any gaps in understanding or leave any important historical context. But i'll try to improve it.

It would be better without the editorializing.

Hi, author here. Thanks for your feedback. I'll avoid doing it in my next articles. I'll try to keep it very natural, just like how i'll be explaining to my closest friends.

> we are able to make the rock calculate

I'm so tired of this cliche...

a CPU is a rock about as much as much as an airplane is a rock (aluminium ore), "look, we are able to make rocks fly on their own power, isn't that awesome?"

people using it think they are impressing the normies, but it just shows them being condescending "of course I dont believe rocks calculate, but I assume you are so stupid and know so little that you might actually believe me and be impressed by my people"

Hi, I understand your point. But my intention was just to create a sense of wonder that we have manipulated an inanimate thing to do useful things for us. I have only used it in the intro. In the rest of the article, i am only talking about actual ideas and concepts.

You've completely missed the point of how silicon chips are organized rock, and have completely invented and projected a condescending view that no one actually intends.
