µPIn Bonn there is a stall with vintage and used books. For 5 Euros I just bought a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#math</a> text book from 1968 that contains a chapter on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AnalogComputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AnalogComputer</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mathematics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mathematics</a> and programming:<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Paperware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Paperware</a>

Stefan Wolfrum :verified:Für das <a href="https://bonn.social/tags/BCBN25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BCBN25</a> am 17. Mai habe ich eine Session zum Thema <a href="https://bonn.social/tags/AnalogComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AnalogComputing</a> eingereicht. Vielleicht interessierts ja den einen oder die andere, warum eine Technik, die nach alt und verstaubt klingt, möglicherweise die Zukunft in sich birgt. Stichworte: K.I. und Energieverbrauch! 😉 Ich bringe auch einen <a href="https://bonn.social/tags/AnalogComputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AnalogComputer</a> zum Anfassen mit, den „THAT“ („THe Analog Thing“) von <a href="https://bonn.social/tags/anabrid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anabrid</a>. <a href="https://bonn.social/tags/10JahreBCBN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#10JahreBCBN</a> <a href="https://bonn.social/tags/Barcamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Barcamp</a> <a href="https://bonn.social/tags/BarcampBonn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BarcampBonn</a> <a href="https://bonn.social/tags/Bonn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bonn</a> <a href="https://bonn.social/tags/HybridComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HybridComputing</a> <a href="https://bonn.social/tags/Arduino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Arduino</a>
