Like the writers that are looking for the best {pen, keyboard, paper} before they start to write... and they continue to look for the best thing to make them great writers ...
"Biocomputing could help address the skyrocketing energy demands of AI, which threatens climate emissions targets and led some tech giants to resort to nuclear power"
I'm reminded of the Battlestar Galactica episode "You Can't Go Home Again" where Starbuck repairs a crashed Cylon ship to get home. The main element she had to figure out is how the biological brain of the Cylon controlled the hardware.
Usually these projects only contain a copy of the source code to build the binary. You still need the game assets like the levels and sounds to play the game.
Secret is still sensitive info and, if released, can cause harm or disruption.
Spying is not based on finding a single discovery of top secret information but a continuous process of pulling various pieces together. A "secret" item by itself may not cause bad things to happen but combined with other information could result in far greater damage.
In my imagined world of Halahala, silent stories have occupied prime real estate since 2005. I think of them like music without lyrics, jazz-like in the experience. The Cordyception is another riff on Halahala’s staple theme of nature, sustainability and our obsession with a certain ladder. An Attenborough documentary led me to these marvellous fungi called Cordyceps and the rest is pure Halahala. The fungi infect and take over specific insect-hosts – body and mind – commanding them to a high vantage point for dispersing spores.
While the HP computers and calculators were well documented and their design process was also frequently described in HP Journal or other HP publications, the most valuable HP publications were about their measurement instruments.
Many of the ancient service manuals for HP measurement instruments were much better for learning electronics engineering than most university manuals.
Way back, talking 1980 or so, my father got a newsletter cum magazine of sort from HP. Marketing material to be sure, but not just raw marketing. Some corporate organ that could easily been called something like “HP Today”.
But inside was, at the time, a science fiction story about handheld computers in the future. It was a fascinating bit of “snapshot in time” that I would enjoy seeing again.
In the off-topic calculator department: hpcalc.org :)
I have an HP 48 (series of graphing calculators) overhead projector display (InVision 48) that may need refurbishment to work, but I just found the manual at hpcalc.org.[0]
