Meditations on Quantum Computing 2015 - Jack J.
Woehr
Prof.
William Daniel
Phillips (Nobel Physics Laureate, 1997) once said, "The chances of building
a quantum computer are 50-50: and by that I mean a 50% chance in 50 years." Now
major stakeholders are saying it will take 10 years for generalized working
hardware. Jack will talk about who is putting their money down, why, and what
they're getting for it so far. |

Using DocBook to work
on
coinForth
- Dennis A. Ruffer
This is an experiment to make a simple
Bluetooth
Low Energy (BLE) peripheral work, within an Arduino environment using
YAFFA
and Forth-notebooks. The effort is not yet complete, but the journey is
interesting, none-the-less.
