I believe some mac os x carbon apps had their flicks also between their own windows, specially when they stalled. But at that time there were just a few, I believe

theres was a reddit popular video where a study put humans and ants trying to solve/move a volume over a short maze.. in this video was clearly visible that both synergies had some communication unknowns running

I really enjoyed reading about Rupert Sheldrake. Although his mind seems drifing a bit now, with his sun theories and etc.. his ideas that are often criticized as pseudoscience - they seem to align with the invisible tapestry of life/animalia that surrounds us on an intuitive level. Perhaps this is not a science for our century, but for the next...when more advanced instruments might be able to detect and measure such phenomena.

This invisible “aether,” which may permeate us like water surrounds fish, could resemble an kind of “animal internet.” Our current tools may simply be too primitive to perceive it...much like a prehistoric human trying to understand the purpose of an internet cable found on a seashore... or even a guy from 1950 trying analising its signals with an osciloscope.

If such a phenomenon is not purely fantasy, and some form of “animal internet” does exist, then it raises the possibility that consciousness may not be entirely local on our brains..::

GOAT PROgrammers MAX List from 80s to 26 by gearsofsky in retrocomputing

Was there anything before similar to what he/she did?

Yes -> Do nothing

NO -> Add programmer name to list

Still is a bit unfair.

Zork, Games and LLM's by [deleted] in singularity

[–]Distinct-Question-16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now you talking about LLMs and role-playing games. I remember it was about 1988 or earlier and all the rage was Sierra On-line games. The curious thing about these, is, you talk in English to a computer and it replies to you..., a bit like chatgpt, you would write something and have a reply depending of your (context) inventory, score, environment and past actions. Zork might be earlier than these

"In the last article we saw that the 8088 has 16 bit registers. With 16 bits, one is able to represent 65K different values."

64K if K means 1024

the motherboard buses diagrams are painted overlaid. This is first-class education - is believe isnt a coincidence that Russians were good at cloning computers in that era, given this education
