The first working one in 1947 by John Bardeen and walter Brattain in Bell Labs Murray Hill.

People had already patented a lot of stuff before without being able to make them work. Nonsense.

As the name suggests, this is not very sturdy, and was quickly replaced by bipolar junction transistor.

They actually abolished the original legal requirement for those institutions to have free scholars as set out by their original charity school beginnings!!! WTF!

But the broadening of scope beyond the Church of England/medieval material was a good thing at least.

Binds an amino acid to the correct corresponding tRNA sequence. Wikipedia mentions that humans have 20 of them, one for each proteinogenic amino acid.

Debugging sucks. But there's also nothing quite that "oh fuck, that's why it doesn't work" moment, which happens after you have examined and placed everything that is relevant to the problem into your brain. You just can't see it coming. It just happens. You just learn what you generally have to look at so it happens faster.

They seem to be doing hardware acceleration for post-quantum cryptography algorithm.

One has to feel bad for them as they likely threw out entire chip designs over NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization algorithm breakeges.

The most comprehensive list is the amazing curated and commented list of quantum algorithms as of 2020.

TODO clear example of the computational problem that it solves.

Agriculture is not the official definition of the age. But it is good enough. Likely related to the official end of glaciations thing.

A unique projective space can be defined for any vector space.

The projective space associated with a given vector space $V$ is denoted $\mathbf{P}(V)$.

The definition is to take the vector space, remove the zero element, and identify all elements that lie on the same line, i.e. $\vec{v}=\lambda \vec{w}$

The most important initial example to study is the real projective plane.

proteins also have a half-life, much like RNA. But it tends to be longer.

One of the simplest known seems to be: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichoplax

www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/focus/en/articles/a_00220.html "The simplest multicellular organism unveiled" from 2013 mentions Tetrabaena socialis.

Then of course: Caenorhabditis elegans is a relatively simple and widely studied model organism.
