You were right to assume that in this case. DNS is not running doom here, it's just storing it.

That's fair. I guess "can it store DOOM?" is still an interesting question though.

Is it? DNS has an explicit mechanism for storing data.

Ok well it was new to me ok!

Which is more ambitious, targeting the MONIAC platform or ENIAC?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillips_Machine (MONIAC)

I'd say both are looking increasingly doable.

“Run” is doing a lot of heavy lifting at this point.

I remember the pregnancy test Doom. Wasn't it "running" on the display only?
reply
Yes, I think it was, but that was also b/c, IIRC, the pregnancy tester had a CPU, too. A CPU can actually run things.

DNS … cannot, and that's why the person upthread is criticizing the use of the word "run" here. DNS ran nothing.
