  • RISC vs CISC instructions?

    I'm making a short basic game on the differences of RISC vs CISC. I know RISC has simpler instructions than CISC etc but what can I use to show this visually? I want to let the user drag and drop pseudo RISC and CISC instructions then run the program and see which completes the task first, which uses more memory and which uses more power. The values don't have to be accurate as its just for a basic understanding. What instructions can I use though? I thought RISC doesn't do multiplication but it seems like it does https://riscv.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/riscv...

    What basic (math) instructions does CISC have that RISC doesn't? 

    I was planning to give a user a math problem and let them solve it using RISC then CISC instructions so they can compare how the 2 differ.

  • Wheeze when vaping?

    Sometimes when I vape I get a slight wheeze for like my next few breaths. After like a minute or two it’s fine. Has it happened to anyone else and should I be worried? (I’m not an ex smoker and get a post nasal drip sometimes)

  • How to get into Stanford?

    I'm currently in 11th grade and I want to apply to go to Stanford once I've completed Grade 12. But like what marks do I need cause in the country I'm in we don't have GPA or SAT etc. we just get our marks after each term and for our mid year and final exams. I haven't gotten the best of marks I'm high school cause I find university level physics and math more interesting (weird I know haha) but next year I'm gonna really push and get an A for my year average. I also learn a lot on my own and in class for physics and IT even though I'm not getting the highest when the teacher is talking about someone I usually know waay more than the rest of the class. I also taught myself programming. Would I have a decent chance of getting in?

  • Solenoid engine on bicycle?

    I wanted to use a solenoid engine to power my bicycle. I wanted to get maybe a 4 cylinder or V8 3D printed solenoid engine and then use it to turn the bike wheels via a friction drive. I know it's unnecessary to have a 4/8 cylinder but it quite cool. I found this which I want to 3D print http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:159798/#files would it be fine?

  • Use Raspberry Pi as switch?

    How can I use my raspberry pic as a switch. So like how can I connect it between a battery and a LED strip or electric motor and then control it and is it possible to adjust the current going to it so I can make the motor go slower and faster. (I know this can also be achieved by switching it on and off very quickly and then adjusting the timing to get the desired speed)

  • How much power would this engine produce?

    I wanted to get an engine like this made https://www.dropbox.com/s/6w68k5bg2y863dd/photo%20...

    I'm either gonna use to to power my bicycle by connecting it to the wheel or use it to power a generator to charge batteries and use that to power an electric motor to turn the wheel. Would this engine produce enough power to power a bicycle at a fast pace, I'm still gonna be peddling I just want this to give some extra power.
