It is quite amazing to read through books such as <The Supermen: The Story of Seymour Cray by Charles J. Murray (1997)>, as it makes you notice that earlier <CPUs> (all before the 70's) were not made with <integrated circuits>, but rather smaller pieces glued up on <PCBs>! E.g. the <arithmetic logic unit> was actually a discrete component at one point.

The reason for this can also be understood quite clearly by reading books such as <Robert Noyce: The Man Behind the Microchip by Leslie Berlin (2006)>. The first <integrated circuits> were just too small for this. It was initially unimaginable that a CPU would fit in a single chip! Even just having a very small number of components on a chip was already revolutionary and enough to kick-start the industry. Just imagine how much money any level of integration saved in those early days for production, e.g. as opposed to manually soldering <point-to-point constructions>. Also the reliability, size an weight gains were amazing. In particular for military and spacial applications originally.

The term is not very clear, as it could either mean:
* a <real number> function whose graph is a line, i.e.:
  $$
  f(x) = ax + b
  $$
  or for higher dimensions, a <hyperplane>:
  $$
  f(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n) = c_1 x_1 + c_2 x_2 + \ldots + c_n x_n + b
  $$
* a <linear map>. Note that the above linear functions are not linear maps unless $b = 0$ (known as the homogeneous case), because e.g.:
  $$
  f(x + y) = ax + ay + b
  $$
  but
  $$
  f(x) + f(y) = ax + b + ay + b
  $$
  For this reason, it is better never to refer to linear maps as linear functions.

As the "WTF look at my points" guy, <Ciro Santilli> approves of this <meme>. A few more elements could be added, notably <Stack Overflow link-only answer policy>[deletion of the last link-only answer], but good enough.

By the profile image, the "Grammar Nazi" editor is actually appropriately the notorious serial editor https://stackoverflow.com/users/63550/peter-mortensen[Peter Mortensen], his https://stackoverflow.com/users/63550/peter-mortensen?tab=activity&sort=revisions[edit count is insane], predominantly style and grammar. <Ciro Santilli> welcomes grammar fixes, but more subjective style fixes can be a bit annoying.

Reviews mostly old RPG and strategy games. And <hentai> games when it is possible to hide the porn from <YouTube>. He also sponsors Hentai and uploads it on his website: https://www.ssethtzeentach.com/nsfw

<Ciro Santilli> really likes his sense of humor, always going into "<politically incorrect>" areas, and often making fun of both dictatorships and the USA. He actually knows a bit about politics. Due to the nature of his humour, many of his earlier videos have been taken down from YouTube apparently, https://www.ssethtzeentach.com/videos mentions:
\Q[Ever since going full time, I'm usually very clean and stay out of trouble, but in the past a fair number of my videos were taken down.]

The videos are also incredibly packed full of well selected edited-in "<memes> jokes". He particularly likes very short snippets of <gay> porn which cannot actually be taken down as porn, even though the obviously are porn excerpts, like the buffed dude blowing a kiss to his tit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw8v5__Ytf4 Heroes of Might and Magic III (2018) is one of the best reviews. Sseth likes to find and make fun of game breaking imbalances, something that Ciro likes due to his <Ciro Santilli's self perceived creative personality>.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOJdDvf-tUs The Sseth Streaming Experience (2019), being a live stream, likely shows more realistically how Seth actually talks in real life.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG9g2byXR2c Might and Magic VI (Re)Review is another good video (2021)

Sseth has a certain <vaporwave> aesthetic, which Ciro also enjoys.
