> A few notes for the "um actually" haters commenting on Hacker News

Stay classy; any criticism is of course "hating", right?

The fact that your title is clickbaity and your results suspect should encourage you to get the most accurate picture, not shoot the messenger.

People should just ignore such low-quality material and stop feeding the troll. Information found in both the first and second part of "Memory is slow, disk is fast" series is wrong on so many levels that it isn't worth correcting or commenting. It is obviously written with the help of the AI without actually fact-checking at all and all under the impression that the author is worthwhile which he isn't.

Just look at this bs:

> Early x86 processors took a few clocks to execute most instructions, modern processors have been able parallelize to where they can actually execute 2 instructions every clock.

Writing software would have been a much easier place if we had CPUs like that today :D
