And the countdown to someone running Doom on starts now.

Probably not one to run Starfield on. Naumenko spends the video above detailing his five-month, 600-hour journey to create the in-game computer and the"Pong clone" he got running on it. It somehow manages to sound both strangely simple and devilishly complex.

Naumenko says he used a vast array of in-game logic gates—switches which are fundamentally either off or on—to build his Terraria PC, but the way the game's circuits work means that"a lot of traditional circuits have to be redesigned" to fit a"new paradigm" which is fundamentallyhow circuits work in real life. So, you know, nothing too hard. Just reinventing circuits. We've all been there.

I probably can't go into much greater detail about Naumenko's process without mangling the science behind it, so you should go watch the full 15-minute video or check outif you want to see how he did it. I do want to call out his"Pitch" for the Terraria PC though, which I reckon will touch the hearts of all us who have had to deal with the evolution of computers over the last couple of decades.

"There are two fundamentally competing forces when it comes to computer speed," says Naumenko. The first is, and the second is"the inevitable growth of software bloat that runs on top of increasingly modern processors".

If you want to get a look at just how dazzlingly complex this thing is, here's an easily scrollable image of the entire glorious contraption:of their work on Naumenko's Computerraria project, I have to salute the project's philosophy.

Fully co-factor-free ClearTau platform produces seeding-competent Tau fibrils for reconstructing pathological Tau aggregates - Nature CommunicationsFully co-factor-free ClearTau platform produces seeding-competent Tau fibrils for reconstructing pathological Tau aggregates - Nature CommunicationsThe authors report a method for producing co-factor-free fibrils from all full-length Tau isoforms. The method paves the way for reconstituting pathology resembling Tau fibrils and enables screening of Tau aggregation-modifying compounds for targeted therapies and PET tracers.
