When: 2022-11-12, 19:00 CET Where: https://bbb.cryptoparty.se/b/upd-0mo-m2u-aq8 The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to Artificial Intelligence – BBC Basic Version Imagine it's the eighties and you are interested in this hype called Artificial Intelligence. You might have heard of LISP and PROLOG but all you have is a home computer running Basic. Would it be possible to do fun experiments without having access to all the compute power universities have access to? The authors Forsynth and Naylor answer this question in their book “The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to Artificial Intelligence” and provide an overview of interesting topics combined with example programs written in BBC Basic which you can type in yourself and try on your UK-built home computer. In this talk I will go through some of these examples and try to put them into a modern context. Herbert Lange (IDS Mannheim) The lecture is free and open to everyone.

I just discovered Stacken's Elvira RSTS system. Logging-in to a BASIC interpreter is a real blast from the past! Thank for keeping this venerable system running and open to the public. Is this list a good place to post questions about Elvira? Keep on hackin'! -- David Meyer Takarazuka, Japan papa at sdf.org>
