The Original Permissionless JPEG: From malware payload to Bitcoin blockchain (theoriginalpermissionlessjpeg.com)

Hello, I am far from a smart person but I still wanted to give reading The Art Of Computer Programming Volume 1: Fundamental Algorithms by Donald Knuth a try but I don't understand at all how MIX computer he talks about works.

Are there any other resources that make it easier to understand the contents of this book?

MIX is a strange 1960s-style architecture, Knuth designed a followup 64-bit RISC-like theoretical architecture, the MMIX, with contributions from the designers of the MIPS and DEC Alpha architecture:
