I'm starting to think Archimedes Plutonium was wrong about his Plutonium Atom Totality conjecture.
- JackFr 8mo agoI remember being called out by name in an Archimedes Plutonium rant around 1993. I also had a post referenced in the comp.lang.c FAQ for a few years. That's the closest I've come to celebrity. The internet before the web brings back memories. I better not dwell to long or I'll have flashbacks t coding X/Motif UI's.

- JackFr 8mo agoGoogled and I found it. It seems I inflated my own importance in the remembering. My post is part of an article on undefined behavior on the comp.lang.c FAQ's maintainer. https://www.eskimo.com/~scs/readings/undef.950321.html https://www.eskimo.com/~scs/readings/undef.950321.html
- libraryofbabel 8mo agoThere is a gem of a sci.math thread where Archimedes Plutonium claims to have proved the Riemann Hypothesis and Terrance Tao (before he was quite as famous, but still!) replies to him pointing out his errors. Also TIL Archimedes Plutonium was actually his legal name.
