gollark: My CS teacher said at one point that we would try making ALUs out of discrete transistors but apparently decided to give up on it randomly.

gollark: Just buy smaller FPGAs?

gollark: It's all flash memory.

gollark: On an FPGA or something yes, otherwise probably not. And it won't be very usable.

gollark: It's especially great because flash wears down over use.
