That's RANDU. IBM shipped it in the Scientific Subroutine Package.

Coming soonish, can a computer produce a truly random number.

[Adam Gordon Bell 🤓 @adamgordonbell]

This is a random number generator. Watch what happens when you turn it.

Much scientific computing ran on this generator for over a decade.

New CoRecursive episode is coming, all about randomness ... but its not ready yet.

I've been a little obsessed with compression and the Hutter Prize.

€5,000 for every 1% you shave off a zip file's size.

Don and I attempt to beat it in the latest podcast episode.

@nadrimajstor @BetterNeil Yes, it has some editing issues. Apologies

@adamgordonbell @ninkibah @petergyang I tweeted a couple weeks ago my "top podcasts" and you can see the top 30% of @corecursive in the spot that didn't fully make the screenshot 😂 https://t.co/88hAcgnZWx

[Adam Gordon Bell 🤓 @adamgordonbell]

I've been confusing my neighbour Don with frontier-lab links for months, pre-training walls, leaked moat memos, and what investors see in OpenAI's $850 billion valuation.

So he came over and we made an episode about it.

New podcast episode is out: https://t.co/pky7V0WRtl

@MartinPiper @adamgordonbell Keep at it! What kind of electronics?

[Adam Gordon Bell 🤓 @adamgordonbell]

Kate Gregory is back. She has been asking a simple question: what happens to programmers as they get older?

She talked to hundreds of developers and to people on the other side, including former engineers now driving for Uber.

[Adam Gordon Bell 🤓 @adamgordonbell]

A friend got hooked on AI-generated cat videos. Funny at first. Then he tried to stop watching them … and he couldn’t. His feed was full of them.

So I started digging into how social media feeds work...

@aj_audiophile Thanks for listening!

TIL Google used to sell document search tech as an appliance

[Burke Holland @burkeholland]

Crippling anxiety has defined much of my adult life.

I don’t enjoy talking about it. In fact, I mostly hate it. But I talked to @corecursive about what it’s actually like to live with it.

I hope it makes someone else feel a little less alone.

New Episode!

[Adam Gordon Bell 🤓 @adamgordonbell]

Burke Holland works on the VS Code team and gives the kind of talks that make you think he has everything figured out.

But the hardest bug he ever had to fix wasn’t in his editor, it was in his own mind.

New CoRecursive: The Bug He Couldn’t Name 🎧

[Adam Gordon Bell 🤓 @adamgordonbell]

New Podcast Episode: @mattgodbolt is back after 5 years!

And he's sharing stories about breaking through abstractions.

Sometimes your “disk write” is a network hop in a trench coat, and your “fast path” hides a page fault.

Godbolt's rule will help.

[Adam Gordon Bell 🤓 @adamgordonbell]

What if buggy software could destroy your reputation, your business and even your freedom?

New podcast episode is the story of how some code ruined hundreds of lives.

[Adam Gordon Bell 🤓 @adamgordonbell]

The HATETRIS story continues with a new record from David and Felipe.

Their old world record was 366 and the new record is 3711 rows cleared.
