by Max Maxfield My poor old noggin is currently full of ideas ricocheting around like corn kernels in an over-enthusiastic popcorn machine. As a tempting teaser, are you aware that: “Tachyum is enabling human brain-scale AI and advancing the entire world to a greener era by delivering the world’s first universal processor”? If not, then I will be delighted to expound, explicate, and elucidate, but first… I’m currently gnashing my teeth and rending my garb because I just missed the chance to commemorate my one millionth birthday. I did celebrate my one hundredth birthday this past holiday weekend (see also Eeek! It’s My 100th Birthday!), assuming — of course — that we are working in base-8 (octal) and we are not desperately clinging to our grandparents’ base-10 (decimal) number system. But then my chum Bob Zeidman pointed out that it was also my 1,000,000th birthday if we choose to work in base-2 (binary).
