a series of bizarre ai generated video ideas: "Visualizing mathematical beauty in seminumerical algorithms through interactive real time...", "building a hardware processor designed specifically for knuth's mix machine instructions", "applying combinatorial search strategies to solve complex modern supply chain logistics", "designing my split screen workflow for maximum deep work and focus", "the mystery of identity and strategy behind launching a second youtube channel", "reimplementing knuth's fundamental algorithms using modern memory safe rust"
[Illustration of a man wearing glasses with a little camera strapped to his forehead and a square drawn around his pupil]. A scientist of the future records experiments with a tiny camera, fitted with universal-focus lens, the small square in the eyeclass at the left sights the object. AS WE MAY THINK A top U. S. scientist foresees a possible future world in which man-made machines will start to think.

Screencap: (too old to reply) 22 years ago
A screencap from a book which reads: Figure 4.5: Not quite right. Then a grid of 9 dots with lines joining them up. Then a section that says Tip: Use whole-brain thinking.
an exploded diagram titled 'answer-back mechanism remote actuation' with many parts including the 'blocking following level', 'contact wires', 'trip lever', 'stop bail', 'function pawl', and 'answer-back function lever'
a diagram of the 'answer-back drum' depicting five intelligence levels around a tined drum, with three extra levels for character suppression.
80s photo of Alfred Aho in his very... teal? office space, wearing a blue jumper under which shows the broad collar of a white shirt, in front of a million papers and a huge yellow computer terminal
A number of nice lines going between nice dots. labelled "Fig. 4. Transition diagram for the matrix given in Table IV."
diagram of me trying to figure out a nice algorithm for reading lines into a line-oriented text editor
assembly source code listing which has a section in the middle that reads "WITH APOLOGIES" and then seemingly a bunch of constants
"This is a novel idea, and I understand the underlying theory. However, according to my calculations," and then redacted.
A graph of average operations for n appends to an empty dynamic array, generally bouncing between 2 and 3
assembly code on the left for constructing a linked list. registers, memory, and a visualisation of linked lists on the right. the program steps through updating memory, registers, and the viz as it goes.
