"My vision of a world with computers is a world in which people have a lot more time to do what they like. Playing tennis, jogging… they’ll have plenty of time to go to the shore. I’d go to the library. I could do my work at home. I could have a computer at home and talk to my office. I could live up on top of a nice mountain in New Hampshire and smell pine trees and it would be the same as if I were here in the sub-sub-subbasement of the Pentagon."

Among the many documents available at the Computer History Museum website there is an interesting artifact: a commercial brochure published in 1957 by the Remington Rand UNIVAC, "a division of Sperry Rand Corporation", titled "introducing a new language for automatic programming". In it, we learn about the advantages of the new (at the time) FLOW-MATIC programming language, the brainchild of United States Navy Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper.

Comparing QCD+QED via full simulation versus the RM123 method: U-spin window contribution to $a_μ^{\mathrm{HVP}}$
Electromagnetic corrections to hadronic vacuum polarization contribute significantly to the uncertainty of the Standard Model prediction of the muon anomaly, which poses conceptual and numerical challenges for ab initio lattice determinations. In this study, we compute the non-singlet contribution from intermediate Euclidean current separations in quantum chromo- and electrodynamics (QCD+QED) using C* boundary conditions in two ways: either non-perturbatively by sampling the joint probability d…
