- For the dedicated fan, the complete collection of Peanuts strips is available in several volumes.

- I remember my grandmother saying that Peanuts characters look like children but spoke like adults and that was what she liked. Apparently, kids saying "good grief" was unheard of back in that time, as were kids generally being disappointed and sad.
- Cool! Reminds of the Music From Outer Space synth in which the designer makes the claim that it "can actually get a child away from a television" and includes a video to prove it.

- On the subject of walls... Cortez reported seeing a wall blocking off an entire valley on his way to Tenochtitlan. One source reported the wall was 6 miles long, and yet it seems to have disappeared without a trace. And yet, Both the London Wall and Hadrian's Wall, though much older still have surviving ruins to this day.
- Same here, and I've lived very close to their location for... well, decades now and had no idea this existed.
Maybe one reason is that you can't just walk in. "If you wish to see the collection, we can arrange an appointment. "
- To be fair, in the video TED talk by Genevieve von Petzinger, she does not claim these are "writing", instead calling the symbols "graphic communication". So not a language, much less writing, but still conveying a shared meaning between the sender (writer) and the recipient (observer). She does admit speculating these symbols could be clan or family identifiers, but does not attempt to ascribe any meaning beyond that.
- "Computer Music" is a very broad term (no surprises here) so, like many here, I can point out topics that are not covered. In particular, computer music (aka algorithmic) composition [1], or very recent AI techniques like the Google seq2seq example at [2], or the (unpublished, but probably a form of generative adversarial networks) techniques used by SunoAI and Udio.
- Thanks for posting, will have to try it out later. I hope it works with my HP Reverb through Windows MR and/or Steam VR.
Re: pedagogy. Here is an anecdote. The very old Java game linked below is a 4d puzzle where players would have to rotate a tesseract to pass a ball through a hole. Comments made at the time were that players would fumble for a while but would eventually "get it" and after that the play was simple and obvious. I never got to that point. Maybe I'll fire it up and see if I can do better now.
- Cool! TFA is not clear on how the slides and audio would be triggered from the teletype though. I've never heard of any application from that era doing this.
Also, who else wants to see the (lost) game source code in APL?
- I don't want to detract in the slightest from this fantastic app (I will be getting it shortly), I just want to point out another set of Chess puzzles for folk like me that enjoy this stuff. Check out the World Champs app, it has puzzles (mostly) taken from actual end games:

- I watched all the ads, just at 100x speed. It doesn't work anymore - RIP the Ad Accelerator - but I could use it guilt free knowing the ads were watched and google collected their money
- As best I can tell from a gloss-over read, it doesn't use anything like the Minimax algorithm. Astute readers are aware that one of the first applications of Minimax was in an AI chess program designed by Claude Shannon.

- Cool! I'd love to tinker with this and see about adapting it to other perfect information games. If you have any suggestions (or warnings) before I do this, please let me know!.

- Coincidentally, I was just watching this explanation earlier today:

- Symbol hunt is broken :( (FWIW, I had the same error on my website, seems PHP needs to be updated)
- Is this not one of the Miyake Events[1]? This particular one was reported in 2023 [2].

The answer: AI is not even covered, at least at the undergrad level. This is just a sample of one, so are any other universities educating future meteorologists on this subject?
