Hanno war der
#Elefant des Papstes Leo X. Als das Tier an einer Verstopfung litt, wurde es mit einem mit
#Gold versetzten Abführmittel behandelt. Erstaunlicherweise half dies nicht.

An introduction to graph neural networks, with a section on "where to find them", that does not mention at all neural circuits or connectomes. WTF.

"Customers would be able to add a series of book-sized modules (for software and hardware options) that clicked into a slender docking station sitting under the monitor, that itself looked like a bookshelf ... There were no cables"

Na, bist du auch gefordert von der Informationsgesellschaft? Oder gar Informatiker und mit praktizierter Informationsintegration überfordert.
Vielleicht kann ich dort eine kombinierte

🎄 Die historische Zuse Z3 mal kurz weihnachtlich dekorieren? Kein Problem! Wie das dank
#VirtualReality möglich ist, steht in der neuen Ausgabe unseres Informatik-Magazins!
Außerdem geht es diesmal um
#KI in der
#Softwareentwicklung, die Frage nach mehr Spezialisierung in der
#Informatik und erste Berührungspunkte von Fortran IV bis Commodore.

I’ve just published part 2 of my retrospective "20 years of Linux on the Desktop". And it ends on a cliffhanger…

#Hippocampus is publishing a series of
#science retrospectives about the history and journeys that led us to where we are scientifically.
Mine just dropped.
I'm deeply honored to have been asked to be a part of this. (They are releasing them as they get through production, so keep an eye on the journal for the rest of them. They had us read them to make connections and it's a fantastic set.)

I bought the full version of
@jamesthomson's PCalc recently (an upgrade from the lite version with purchased plugins). Great calculator.
So why am I again using
@tapbots' Calcbot?
I'll tell you why, I'm obsessed with phone and physical calculators, that's what.
See!

Always remember : ‘Computer’ was the word for a woman who did calculations.
There’s a reason that the patterns for jacquard looms were effectively the first computer programs.
Knitting and crochet patterns are essentially machine language code.
Quilting traditions incorporating geometric patterning and permutations mixed with optical effects is all of a piece of this. (Pun very much intended.)

Question for the hive mind: are there any old calculator processors/platforms with good documentation on how things worked under the hood? Like instruction sets and the embedded programming to have them actually work as a calculator? #retrocomputing #retrotech #calculators
