Feb 15, 1946: ENIAC, (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the first electronic general-purpose computer, formally dedicated at the University of Pennsylvania and six women became its first programmers. In 2011, in honor of the 65th anniversary of the ENIAC's unveiling, the city of Philadelphia declared February 15 as ENIAC Day.

At the time, it was about 1,000x faster than prior mechanical computing methods and could perform roughly 5,000 calculations per second. What once took days could suddenly be done in minutes.

By the end of its operation in 1956:

* ~18,000 vacuum tubes
* 7,200 crystal diodes
* 6,000 relays
* 70,000 resistors
* 10,000 capacitors, and approximately 5,000,000 hand-soldered joints.
* ~30 tons of hardware
* ~1,800 square feet of space
* ~150 kW of power consumption


Mathematician Kay McNulty used it to compute artillery ballistic trajectories for the US Army.

And yet it started the digital age. Fast forward to today and a single NVIDIA GPU is estimated to be 25 billion times faster than ENIAC. The slope of computing progress since 1946 is surreal.

"ENIAC" spelled backwards is "Caine", the main antagonist and rogue artificial intelligence ringmaster from the animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus.




Calling it the Department of War again because you are flying nuclear reactors over the country is a wild new energy level.

The same week AOC nervously stammered her support for our granddad's pacifying fiction of a two-state solution. It is crazy weird how invoking the two-state solution is still like playing a Get Out of a Political Jam Card. It's dead and even the Israeli gov't says so (albeit not in English).

It does not matter who you vote for, the propaganda and warmongering will be the same. AOC, the American version of Kaja Kallas.






How daily foreign policy is decided. Fools and boxes.

Marco Rubio portrays decolonization as a sinister communist plot that destroyed 500 years of Western empires. Rather than adjusting to multipolarity, Rubio hints at restoring the empire and invites America's European vassals to join the USA. This reads as a declaration of war on multipolarity and sovereign equality. That's the way it often goes. Welp, so be it. Pros & cons depending which side of the fence you reside. Excerpt:

That is strength, boy! That is power! What is steel compared to the hand that wields it? Look at the strength in your body, the desire in your heart, I gave you this! Such a waste. Contemplate this on the tree of woe. Crucify him! — Thulsa Doom
