7 November 2018 - 48 cores

Promote progress by sending knowledge to the past? That’s a poor use for a time machine. If you’re contacted by the future, what you need is confidence that you’re doing something important.

Back then, you see, a core meant a magnetic core that could store one bit. “Wow!” they’ll say. “In the future they even make toy computers!”
