We must stop crediting the wrong people for inventions made by others.
Instead let s heed the recent call in the journal
Nature: Let 2020 be the year in which we value those who ensure that
science is self-correcting [SV20].
Like those who know me can testify, finding and citing original sources of scientific and technological innovations is important to me, whether they are mine or other people s [DL1][DL2][HIN][NASC1-9]. The present page is offered as a resource for computer scientists who share this inclination.
By grounding research in its true intellectual foundations and crediting the original inventors,

You could run Doom on 16 billion crabs
Evolutionary biologists have observed that nature seems to have a strong preference for crabs – it’s evolved crab shapes several different times over the course of natural history. Given how many crabs there are in the world, it’s only natural that someone is going to figure out how to run Doom on them.
Bizarre as that sounds, it’s theoretically possible to organise enough crabs to power the classic FPS game. Wharton professor Ethan Mollick tweeted about a 2011 paper published in the journal Complex Systems 20 that described using swarms of soldier crabs, moving around in plastic maze structures, to implement logic gates. Mollick reasons that since there are eight logic gates in a byte, and that it takes about 80 soldier crabs to run a gate, you’d need about 640,000 crabs to store a tweet.
Benchmarking Building Control Systems Thanks to Calibrated Models

Buildings play an important role in total energy consumption and worldwide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Smart control strategies are key technological enablers for reducing the GHG footprints of buildings.
3,4 but their simple nature, combined with possible tuning errors, can lead to sub-optimal control behavior.
5 Automatized, efficient building control can significantly reduce energy consumption and emissions.
Research has been done into model predictive control (MPC),
6,7,8,9 adaptive or learning-based MPC
10 and reinforcement learning (RL)
11,12,13 but many of these studies have suffered from the non-standardized evaluation of their control performance.
