Other problems. Never heard of a print train with APL characters for high
speed printers. Had to have a special type ball for Selectric typewriters.
It wasn't until the late 1970's that teletype matrix terminals started
supporting APL characters. Likewise for 3270 monitors.
Yes, cats should never be underestimated! Feline problem solving is powered by
evolution, so it had better be effective.
My AI text was Philip C. Jackson's Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
(1974). Even then we could see that overcoming the challenges were further off
than the optimists t
That's because APL required a specific code-page under EBCDIC:

@Bob, thanks for that link. I read it with amusement.
Yes I knew about Alan Bundy. As an HF wallah, I used to keep an eye on the
AI community like Jesuits keep an eye on the Wiccans. Brian Gaines once
told me that Artificial Intelligence appealed to people short on the
natural variety. (But I doub
If they're using graphics cards as the base, it's not so much like J's
arrays, but more a collection of Nx4 matrices.
Thanks,

Yet more ways of coming up with "42" in time for yesterday.

If you read the whole article you'll see they could have had a computer
with the J primitives as its machine instructions.
