There is a huge amount of context in an early whistleblower report [1]. This reported before the FAA did the likelihood that the bolts were not reinstalled and the problems with the documentation. Per that whistleblower account, the door pl

Its fascinating how the interest and energy around a project like this manages to be self-reinforcing. The idea on the face of it is quite nonsensical: building a machine to make continuous droning sounds for years at a time. How likely is

One of my childhood claims-to-fame was getting a windows 3.1 version of Tetris to wrap around to negative scores. The score there was a 16 bit signed integer; after +32767 points it wrapped to -32768. At least in that version the challenge

Just for fun... I think this should be on the efficient frontier of 8 x 8 -> 16 bit multipliers, at an average cost of around 43 cycles and memory of 1330 bytes or so. Compare 45.5 cycles and 1580 bytes for the mult66.a fastest in the
