@santsaver @BrianRoemmele I had the one that ran little magnetic software strips (59 I think). Then I later had the reverse polish version, which I used through much of high school and college. Much easier to do complex formula calculations, I thought.

@MuseumCommodore You were eaten by a Grue

[Kevin Miller @kevmilldev]

@fraserpricee Stuart Kauffman might be of interest...
Cool stuff you're doing, btw.

[Kevin Miller @kevmilldev]

@MuseumCommodore Funny thing is there's far more information today about these games (thanks to Internet archive, etc.) than there ever was then!

[Kevin Miller @kevmilldev]

@danielw_rosala @cqcqcqdx Busicalc, right? Know it well...

@Afghan_Engineer Whoops

@RattFink999 @GividenRic78614 @cqcqcqdx Yep, Christmas 1976 is what I recall too. After my mom found me taking apart a broken am/fm radio.

[Kevin Miller @kevmilldev]

@ScottieMac3612 @cqcqcqdx Yes, it was faint, though. And I had to ground it to the plumbing under the bathroom sink, as I recall.

@naomibrockwell Well, Sam is the "Orb" guy...

@MuseumCommodore Who raided my trash can back in 1983?

@karlokor3n It's an oddity I struggle to make sense of. The OS of web3 (eg., JAM) is eagerly supported by voters, as are some relatively specific marketing and advertising initiatives. Lacking is consistent support for the vast and essential application category primitives like Robonomics

[Kevin Miller @kevmilldev]

@alice_und_bob @danicuki All absolutely true. The "OS" primitives of web3 are developing nicely with JAM, coretime, etc., but the application category primitives have had a harder time finding their way.

@lex_node bettermarkets, 'nuff said.

@maxchadwick Lots of great educational material in @gavofyork yearly Polkadot roundup, too. https://t.co/pYqy3Z7d0S

@GldnCalf @EnterTheMythos Nice.

Seems to me that these new models are great for knowledge asset technologies like @origin_trail because they provide defined entry points into the reasoning process for verified knowledge assets to be introduced. 🤔

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

This report is long but very good.

“With R1, DeepSeek essentially cracked one of the holy grails of AI: getting models to reason step-by-step without relying on massive supervised datasets. Their DeepSeek-R1-Zero experiment showed something remarkable: using pure reinforcement learning with carefully crafted reward functions, they managed to get models to develop sophisticated reasoning capabilities completely autonomously. This wasn't just about solving problems— the model organically learned to generate long chains of thought, self-verify its work, and allocate more computation time to harder problems.

The technical breakthrough here was their novel approach to reward modeling. Rather than using complex neural reward models that can lead to "reward hacking" (where the model finds bogus ways to boost their rewards that don't actually lead to better real-world model performance), they developed a clever rule-based system that combines accuracy rewards (verifying final answers) with format rewards (encouraging structured thinking). This simpler approach turned out to be more robust and scalable than the process-based reward models that others have tried.”

@lex_node Still, it's sad that after all this time many still look at crypto as another tech stock index rather than the fundamentally different asset class we want it to be.

[Kevin Miller @kevmilldev]

@lex_node People trying to figure out if deepseek "was priced in already"

@blknoiz06 sol would crash. Gov't spends money too fast.

@WarrenDavidson Seriously, you get an embossed seal like it's some kind of award or something?
