“a substance that through its chemical action usually kills, injures, or impairs an organism”

Poison doesn’t have to be swallowed

That’s a really good question and I had to know, the answer is kinda neat:

Intel’s chip-naming scheme at that time used a four-digit number for each component. The first digit indicated the process technology used, the second digit indicated the generic function, and the last two digits specified the sequential number in the development of that component type. Using this convention, the chips would have been known as the 1302, 1105, 1507, and 1202. Faggin felt this would obscure the fact that they formed a coherent set, and decided to name them as the “4000 family”.[24] The four chips were the following: the Intel 4001, a 256-byte 4-bit ROM; the Intel 4002, DRAM with four 20-nibble registers (total size 40 bytes); the Intel 4003, an I/O chip comprising a 10-bit static shift register with serial and parallel outputs; and the Intel 4004 CPU.

Why they jumped to 4000 from 1000 tho, I didn’t see.

This seems like one of those things I would do when I’d want to signal to my future self or someone else that it’s the right location.

I thought this was Worms terrain
