TL;DR: the one entry implemented a subleq machine. Google it - it’s a One Instruction Set Computer (OISC). This made me smile. But it also raised a question: when were OISC’s first conceived? Would Apollo and computers of that era have benefitted from this insight?
I’m attempting to learn to use a slide rule. It’s quite a history lesson - we take for granted the large precision we get on calculators. But the learning is taking repeated visits, about 30 minutes at a time. I’m slowly getting it.
Until recently, it was always cheaper to forego software architecture optimizations and rely on faster hardware, but now with AI I think this changes that calculus.
Same. Hit some bug, tried different distro. Soon after adopted a “live off the land” philosophy, adapting to whatever desktop was default on the chosen distro.
I’m kinda new to this - so what you’re saying is the mouse model induces beta-amyliods directly, rather than finding ways to give mice Alzheimer’s, whereas the human tests are for humans that have Alzheimer’s? Meaning we aren’t doing any tests of simply stimulating BA growth in humans?
In the same vein - the Roswell Museum and Research Center - the library portion is underrepresented in its ads. It is a library about the size of an elementary / middle school library filled with supposed accounts and testimony, academic-style papers and reports. One could spend days admiring this collection. (I’m not shilling for it, just pointing out the best part is not the latex cadavers in the other room.).
It depends on what vintage of Blackboard your IT team has installed. We moved from a circa 2011 BB instance to Canvas in 2022, and it was hands down superior. A different university is running the most recent BB and it’s similar to Canvas.
Not sure I understand the problem this is trying to solve. I can hash a 2Gb file with an empty hash placeholder, sign the hash and store it in the file. Then on decryption, zero out the placeholder, hash the whole file, and compare the result to the included signed hash placeholder without storing 2Gb in memory.
I must be the only one who thinks this, but this is the age of getting things done. I don’t have to worry about syntax or off by one errors, I tell it what to do and it generally does it, instantly!
Oh, and I’m 57 and was programming the Commodore Pet when I was 11. I’m relieved to be (mostly) free of syntactic shackles.
This. Most people defer the solving of hard problems to when they write the code. This is wrong, and too late to be effective. In one way, using agents to write code forces the thinking to occur closer to the right level - not at the code level - but in another way, if the thinking isn’t done or done correctly, the agent can’t help.
