Anyone know the current record-holder for world's smallest web server? :)

Probably just a matter of loading the necessary software onto this MCU:

According to the specs, it has 1kB of ram. You're going to need to be quite clever to implement a working TCP-IP stack and an HTTP server in that.

An RSA key is 4kB by itself, so TLS is out of the picture.

em3rgent0rdr•3h ago
I was also going to suggest that... But I imagine that the Ethernet port or antennae wire (and necessary battery to power antennae) would dwarf the size of that MCU. But thinking again, I suppose if the rules permit the MCU to be directly wired to the Ethernet cable, then could bitbang an early Ethernet standard with this MCU's pins...
st_goliath•2h ago
If you're going to use an Ethernet jack anyway, you might as well use one that has an ARM SoC already built in and runs Linux:

It’s sad isn’t (wasn’t) such a professor as a waste of money? I mean the market dictates what we get, with some influential persons and companies, but it’s all chance.

Why do we have these well paid professors working on stuff like this?

I think if we feel that we do need them, they should be laser focused on making sure there are societal benefits to tech. Not “working on cool stuff”.

Or is this no longer happening?

Interesting how he was kind of, but not quite, on the right track in terms of predicting where technology would go. Small "wearable" (in the sense that you carry them on your person) computers obviously became huge, but not in the way that he was thinking. I was a kid back then, so wasn't thinking too deeply about the future of technology, but mobile phones were already a thing and some were becoming internet-compatible, so in hindsight smartphones seem a more obvious next step than "a special glove that can recognize a digital sign language". Maybe not at the time though.
