知名极客 Tom Murphy (suckerpinch) 带来的一场一本正经的架构恶搞：完全基于 IEEE-754 浮点数标准，利用 NaN 和无穷大（Infinity）来构建逻辑门，并最终真做出了一套可运行的硬件原型。
为什么 HN 推它
硬核恶搞与技术艺术结合的巅峰之作，HN 粉丝公认的年度快乐源泉，也是浮点数相关讨论中必被拉出来膜拜的神作。
「suckerpinch 几年难得憋出一个视频，但只要一发，就绝对是神作。」HN 网友原话：Suckerpinch barely ever releases a video, but when he does they are great.
英文原摘要（HackerTube / Claude 整理）
Tom Murphy (suckerpinch) presents a deliberately trollish computer architecture built on IEEE-754 floating point, using NaN and infinity to define logic gates. He builds working hardware around the idea.
HN fans hold it up as a favorite among his videos and an example of gloriously bonkers technical art, and cite it in floating-point discussions.
HN 上的提及
made a video in which he managed to define a logic system using NaN and +∞
My favorite is "NaN Gates and Flip FLOPS
Here's my favorite video of his
That is not only impossibly bonkers on just about every level
Tom Murphy has you covered with: the NaN Gate.
