    Fun fact: The BESM-6 was a Soviet era computer used for a wide variety of tasks, like the processing of the space mission telemetry data of the Apollo-Soyuz test mission in 1975. Between 1968 and 1987 they built 355 of these massive room sized computers. Each had a computing power of 418 kiloflops.

    A Rasberry Pi 5 has 24,000x the computing power of all of them combined.

      @acb @collectifission Remember the USSR widely considered computers (then primarily business tools) as anti-Soviet, circa 1950-54? (In terms eerily familiar to students of western moral panics.) That set them back about a decade, during the mainframe era. And the USSR's tendency to run on central planning probably accounts for the rest.

      @collectifission @cstross Its address space was only 15 bits, i.e. half that of a typical Z80/6502 machine, though I’m guessing the CPU used the other bit as a flag of some sort? Presumably in the USSR in 1975, having 32k of addressable space was seen as ample
