A good explanation of how this insane system came up is given at Video "History of Oxford University by Chris Day (2018)".

As if it weren't enough, there are also the 6 Halls: permanent private hall.

The colleges are controlled by its fellows, a small self-electing body of highly successful scholars, usually in the dozens per college number it seems. Each college also usually has different types of fellows, e.g. see he university college page: www.univ.ox.ac.uk/about/college-fellowships/ (archive)

The college system does has its merits though, as it instates a certain sense of Hogwarts "belonging" to a certain group, so it might help students get better support for their learning projects from older students, or through the tutoring system. Of course, all such "belonging" feelings are bad, the correct thing would be to make great online tutorials for all, and answer questions in the open. But oh well, humans are dumb.

The college you are in impacts the quality of your courses, because tutorials are per-college. As of 2023, Ciro Santilli spoke to some students of the Computer science course of the University of Oxford, and was told that in some cases where you don't have anyone who can give the tutorial, you instead get a "class", i.e. a P.h.D. student going through question sheets with no interaction in the C.S. department, rather than a deep interactive discussion over the college fire. How can this system be so broken, it is beyond belief

This functionality is somewhat related to fraternities and sororities in 2000's United States.

TODO is it or is it not??? In any case, it is good to see devs actually trying it:

Googling does not lead to any commercial ASICs on sale that is not just a CPU or as efficient as certain CPUs, so perhaps they've actually manged it!

Not possible it seems:

Given:the norm ends up being:

E.g. in ${\mathbb{C}}^2$:

Ahh, this brings good memories of Ciro Santilli's musical formative teenage years scouring the web for the best art humanity had ever produced in certain generes. And it still is a valuable resource as of the 2020's!

Billy Mitchell comes strongly to mind!They even look similarly fraudulent.

TODO find the Shroud of Turin one.
