- tuckerman 5y agoI didn’t look terribly long so I can’t find a reference, but I believe when Kelvin coined the term he used the daemon spelling
- bardworx 5y agoYes, the process was named after Maxwell's daemon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(computing) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(computing)
- peterburkimsher 5y agoWhat happens if we ask Laplace's demon (assumption of reversibility) to battle Maxwell's demon (entropy decrease) - will it end in an infinite loop? At some level, even systemd is built on a superloop, or "main" method, which depends on a power supply. So the computers are depending on physics again, to persuade us that: • electron + positron = photon • photon really is a fundamental particle in the Standard Model • Elementary charges are measured as +1, -1 electron... ok I'm confused now. • One Electron Universe?
