I like my bag-endian architectures

But what about second hobnibble?

So the Fellowship of the Ring was made up of an elf, a dwarf, two humans, a maia and one hobnibble?

Thorin and Company were running with 1Hb across 3 movies while The Fellowship ran with 4Hb across 3 movies.

So we could theoretically say The Hobbit movies sucked because they were bottlenecking their performance due to not ~~downloading~~ having more Hb per movie.

Yeah, hobbit-serial architectures lack performance.

Hobbword doesn't quite work, does it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

No, but I think "Hobnibble" is something...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

What about Hoblong? Or Hobshort. Or HobIEEE-floating-point.

The tetrahobbit is only just a few decades away.

But a byte is 8 bits, not the other way around

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What do you mean? The meme has 8 hobbits which make a hobbyte

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I interpreted it as showing that 8 hobbytes were equivalent to a hobbit. I didn't see that it could be interpreted as saying each little frodo picture under the hobbyte was a hobbit until your comment.

It almost confused me at first as well. You are not alone. :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I see your confusion. Hope I cleared it up a bit :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I kind of get it. A byte is 8 bits but if you think of it as it's 8 times larger than a bit...
