It's always lovely to have the doubters get their asses academically kicked when it comes to Ada Lovelace's actual mathematical capabilities, but at the same time, I am so, so, so tired. Just so very tired. From an open access 2017 Historia Mathematica article debunking the idea that Lovelace was not a competent mathematician.

C. Hollings et al. / Historia Mathematica 44 (2017) 202-231 203 1. Introduction On 21 January 1844, the English mathematician Augustus De Morgan wrote a confidential letter to Lady Noel Byron about her 28-year-old daughter, Augusta Ada King, the Countess of Lovelace, who De Morgan had tutored as a private pupil in various areas of advanced mathematics for about eighteen months in the early 1840s. In his letter, while he was at pains to stress that “I have never expressed to Lady Lovelace my op…

Finished prepping the NESessity NES mainboard for the new front loader mechanism. I got lazy when I installed all the components on the NESessity board and maybe didn't clean the flux off as well as I should have. However, since I've gotten open the NES up, figured I'd do a proper 99% isopropyl alcohol bath and a good scrub. The board is looking great, now to wait for the cartridge slot to come in and get it buttoned up again.

Von allen Notiz-Apps, die ich bisher gesehen und teilw. getestet habe, hat es mir Trilium am meisten angetan:
- komplett Open Source
- verschlüsselte Notizen
- kann selbst gehostete Synchronisierung
- viele Features (Zeichnungen, Diagramme, Karten, Reveal.js Präsentationen, Publishing, usw.)
- SQLite unter der Haube
Leider ist es eine Web-App – nativ wäre mir am liebsten. Es gibt auch KI-Kram, aber der ist per default aus, kann Ollama und wird nicht aggressiv …

Trilium Notes
Trilium is an open-source solution for note-taking and personal knowledge bases. Use it locally or sync with your own server to access notes anywhere.

Asimov wrote his laws of robotics as a dramic device to show how difficult it is to write laws of robotics. How they always will contradict each other.
His laws are there to illustrate a problem, not as a genuine attempt at the solution. His laws are deliberately wrong.
