Originally done with (neutral) silver atoms in 1921, but even clearer theoretically was the hydrogen reproduction in 1927 by T. E. Phipps and J. B. Taylor.
The hydrogen experiment was apparently harder to do and the result is less visible, TODO why: physics.stackexchange.com/questions/33021/why-silver-atoms-were-used-in-stern-gerlach-experiment

Is Jobs evil? Is he interesting? Undoubtedly.
www.folklore.org/ProjectView.py?project=Macintosh&characters=Steve%20Jobs has some good anecdotes about him.
Ciro Santilli is especially fond of: Jobs and Wozniak's blue box.
Good quotes:
- "Try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money." quote at: Section "Don't be a pussy" and the related Jobs and Wozniak's blue box attitude
- "Steve Jobs Insult Response" on backward design
- Steve Jobs Pixar office design philosophy: great ideas happen from chance meetings on corridors, not in board rooms: officesnapshots.com/2012/07/16/pixar-headquarters-and-the-legacy-of-steve-jobs/
- Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address
- Here's to the crazy ones: Ciro would like to believe that this is mostly written by Jobs, but apparently it was just written by an advertisement agency. Good job though.
You must watch this: Video "Bill Gates vs Steve Jobs by Epic Rap Battles of History (2012)".
Evil deeds:
- not recognizing own daughter for many years??? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Brennan-Jobs
- lying to Steve Wozniak about the 5000 dollar Atari bonus: web.archive.org/web/20110612071502/http://www.woz.org/letters/general/91.html
- not giving stock to early garage employees: www.businessinsider.com/steve-wozniak-gave-early-apple-employees-10-million-in-stock-2014-9 OK, not a legal obligation. But... love?
Looking for formats that:
- are human readable plaintext files
- can be converted/played as MIDI
- can be converted to sheet music PDFs
- supports basic guitar effects (bends and slides)

As of 2022:Fuck that.
Also, they have an ICP.

- Condensed matter: 4 hits, so not too bad
- quantum field theory: no hits
In a bicycle you just have too much more control and awareness than in a car, so if the way is completely clear, you should be allowed to stop, look if the way is clear, and then run reds.

Now let's make Stockfish think for one second what is the next best move for black:gives as the last line:TODO:
go movetime 1000
bestmove c7c5 ponder g1f3
- what is ponder? Something to do with thinking on the opponent's turn: permanent brain.
- understand the previous lines
To make the move it as suggested for black, we have to either repeat the entire sequence of movements:or alternatively we could also use the previous FEN notation as a starting point;Note how the Universal Chess Interface interface is very simple: we just load a state and then decide what to do next for that one state. The engine holds only one and exactly one state at a time, and you can't even modify it differentially without loading new one from scratch.

Founding CEO of Oxford Quantum Circuits.
As mentioned at www.investmentmonitor.ai/tech/innovation/in-conversation-with-oxford-quantum-circuits-ilana-wisby she is not the original tech person:Did they mean Oxford Sciences Enterprises? There's nothing called "Oxford Science and Innovation" on Google. Yes, it is just a typo oxfordscienceenterprises.com/news/meet-the-founder-ilana-wisby-ceo-of-oxford-quantum-circuits/ says it clearly:
she was finally headhunted by Oxford Science and Innovation to become the founding CEO of OQC. The company was spun out of Oxford University's physics department in 2017, at which point Wisby was handed "a laptop and a patent".
I was headhunted by Oxford Sciences Enterprises to be the founding CEO of OQC.
oxfordquantumcircuits.com/story mentions that the core patent was by Dr. Peter Leek: www.linkedin.com/in/peter-leek-00954b62/
