This section is about games initially designed for humans, but which ended up being used in AI development as well, e.g.:

As of 2020's and earlier, humans were far far behind. As of 2020s and earlier, even an average personal computers without a GPU, the hallmark of deep learning beats every human.

Chess is just too easy!

Isothermal means "at fixed temperature".

This is to contrast with the more well established polymerase chain reaction, which requires heating and cooling the sample several times.

The obvious advantage of isothermal methods is that their machinery can be simpler and cheaper, and the process can happen faster, since you don't have to do through heating and cooling cycles.

Most/all commands have the -V option which prints the version, e.g.:

Ciro Santilli distinctly remembers being taught that at basic electrical engineering school during Ciro Santilli's undergrad studies at the University of São Paulo.

It really allows you to do alternating current calculations much as you'd do DC calculations with resistors, quite poweful. It must have been all the rage in the 1950s.

This was the pre-Internet precursor of wikis. This program was likely venerable, shame it predates Ciro Santilli's era.

But the thing was much more bloated it seems, and also included visual programming elements, and WYSISYG UI creation.

square, cube. 4D case known as tesseract.

Convex hull of all $\{-1,1{\}}^D$ (Cartesian product power) D-tuples, e.g. in 3D:

From this we see that there are $2^D$ vertices.

Two vertices are linked iff they differ by a single number. So each vertex has D neighbors.

This was the first major commercial computer hit. Stlil vacuum tube-based.

Ice is the name of one of the solid phases of water.

In informal contexts, it usually refers to the phase of ice observed in atmospheric pressure, Ice I_h.
