Totally not germane to the content, but it's amusing how i can know that this was originally written in LaTeX by the quotation marks alone.
Inspecting page source confirms it.
- schoen 7y agoThe page source confirms that it was converted from LaTeX, but TeX itself was only released in 1978 and a sibling comment to yours points out that this article refers to 1978 as the future: > Well, if programs can't do better than that by 1978, I shall lose a L250 bet [...] (presumably £250) This makes the original format of the document more of a mystery.
- gattilorenz 7y agoThere's a chance it has been written in the "Stanford Artificial Intelligence text editor E (written by Dan Swinehart)", and later converted to TeX: http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/oldnotes.html http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/oldnotes.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(text_editor) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(text_editor)
