65 Reasons To Celebrate The 6502

blog post image "The legendary chip from 1975 that helped start the home computer revolution." I can remember sharing the manual for the 6502 with my school friend, Chris. He had a BBC micro computer and I had a Commodore Vic 20. To do the machine code I remember you had to: compile into 6502 instructions what you...

SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell immunity is seen in cases of COVID-19

SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell immunity in cases of COVID-19 and SARS, and uninfected controls: Memory T cells induced by previous pathogens can shape the susceptibility to, and clinical severity of, subsequent infections1. Little is known about the presence of pre-existing memory T cells in humans with...

Video for learning

Video for learning is great at some things, not so great at others. Great summary of recent evidence from Donald Clark. What can we learn from Netflix? (Use technology appropriately not just the buzzwords) Episodic vs. Semantic memory (Remembering the right things from video isn't as easy as you think)...

Brain Computation Is Organized via Power-of-Two-Based Permutation Logic: There is considerable scientific interest in understanding

Brain Computation Is Organized via Power-of-Two-Based Permutation Logic: There is considerable scientific interest in understanding how cell assemblies - the long-presumed computational motif - are organized so that the brain can generate cognitive behavior. The Theory of Connectivity proposes that...
