“History Doesn't Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes” – Mark Twain

Looking forward to the impending AI and crypto crash and have people run GoL simulations on expensive computer systems like it's 1972 again.


Off-topic, but like a lot of quotes attributed to Twain, there’s no evidence he said that.

As Mark Twain also said, "A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on."

Of course he didn't say that one either: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/07/13/truth/


But he did call Mae West "my little chickadee", right?

I'm pretty sure Mark Twain wasn't around to say anything about internet exchanges.


What are some examples of an OS needing to do floating point numbers calculations?
