k-transitive group Updated +Created
TODO why do we care about this?
Note that if a group is k-transitive, then it is also k-1-transitive.
LLVM IR hello world Updated +Created
Example: llvm/hello.ll adapted from: llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#module-structure but without double newline.
To execute it as mentioned at github.com/dfellis/llvm-hello-world we can either use their crazy assembly interpreter, tested on Ubuntu 22.10:
sudo apt install llvm-runtime
lli hello.ll
This seems to use puts from the C standard library.
Or we can Lower it to assembly of the local machine:
sudo apt install llvm
llc hello.ll
which produces:
hello.s
and then we can assemble link and run with gcc:
gcc -o hello.out hello.s -no-pie
./hello.out
or with clang:
clang -o hello.out hello.s -no-pie
./hello.out
hello.s uses the GNU GAS format, which clang is highly compatible with, so both should work in general.

MIT OpenCourseWare Updated +Created
CC BY-NC-SA unfortunately.
Upload is actually optional, and it appears that teachers do retain their copyright: ocw.mit.edu/ans7870/global/MIT_OpenCourseWare_FAQs.pdf Hmmm, so how have they convinced so many teachers to do it?
MIT Radiation Laboratory Updated +Created
Made huge advances in radar.
Notably, Isidor Isaac Rabi was a leading figure there, and later he was head at the Columbia University laboratory that carried out the crucial Lamb-Retherford experiment and the anomalous magnetic dipole moment of the electron published at The Magnetic Moment of the Electron by Kusch and Foley (1948) using related techniques.
Ackermann function Updated +Created
To get an intuition for it, see the sample computation at: en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ackermann_function&oldid=1170238965#TRS,_based_on_2-ary_function where in this context. From this, we immediately get the intuition that these functions are recursive somehow.

List of personal knowledge base software Updated +Created
TODO look into those more:
Major downsides that most of those personal knowledge databases have:
  • very little/no focus on public publishing, which is the primary focus of OurBigBook.com
  • either limited or no multiuser features, e.g. edit protection and cross user topics
  • graph based instead of tree based. For books we need a single clear ordering of a tree. Graph should come as a secondary thing through tags.

Operon vs transcription unit Updated +Created
That single operon can produce two different mRNA transcription units:
The reason for this appears to be that there is a rho-independent termination region after thrL. But then under certain conditions, that must get innactivated, and then the thrLABC is produced instead.
