🚀 Discover this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: In 1980, Intel released the Intel 8087 floating-point coprocessor, a chip that could make math up to 100 times faster.

But it all depended on a 69-bit adder: "The arithmetic heart of the floating-point execution unit is centered about a nanomachine comprised of the adder and its related registers, shifters and control circuitry," as the patent describes it. In this article, I explain the circuitry of this adder.…

💥 Explore this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Last week, the United States Department of Commerce issued an order declaring that "noise infusion" will be banned from all statistical products published by the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
