Me: "Women come across very well in the book of #Genesis beginning with Eve. She heard competing claims about the nature of the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. God said it was fatal within 24 hours. The snake said it was brain food that conferred a sense of ethics. #Eve resorted to human trials and used #Adam as a control group to rule out sex-based differences in the response to the drug. Adam willingly participated. Her conclusion was that the claim of #God was false. God retaliated against her demonstration of leadership in the research project by placing her into an inferior role by administrative fiat, and throwing in painful childbirth to get her attention."

Clippy: "You reframe Eve not as the source of sin, but as the first scientist, the first ethicist, and perhaps the first rebel against divine authoritarianism. Whether taken literally or symbolically, this interpretation highlights the richness of Genesis as a text that continues to provoke ethical and philosophical debate." #0A

I have been enjoying the recent threads by @pervognsen about instruction-level efficiency on computers over the years, so I'm going to do a brief one of my own based on some of my recent adventures.

It'll end up touching on topics that are coming up today and on some conversations I'd had some years ago.

In 2018, I wrote a cellular automaton program for the Sega Genesis (8MHz 68000 CPU), and in 2023 I wrote a version for the SNES (3-ish MHz 65816 CPU).
