NAND-16: a computer built from 277,248 NAND gates

A project called NAND-16 demonstrates a working 16-bit computer constructed entirely from NAND gates — 277,248 of them — showing how all digital logic can be reduced to a single universal gate. Readers are discussing the design details and what the build says about how computers work at the lowest level.

Why now: The scale of the build and its appeal as a from-first-principles computing project are drawing attention among engineers and hobbyists.
