“(So– whom remembers mimeograph machines?)”

I am appalled that you did not link to the scene in ‘Fast Times at Ridgemont High” ( 1982 Heckerling) where tests are passed out and all the kids start sniffing the paper (alcohol from the mimeograph). Yeah, that was me, and everyone else.

Some teachers had mimeograph machines in the ‘back room’ off the classroom, and you had to let the ink dry a bit, or it smear.

The First Serious Problem Solved by AI: Protein Folding

“A reliable general method for accurately predicting protein two and three dimensional structure from one dimensional amino acid sequence information is something of a holy grail in protein science that has long eluded the best and most creative approaches of scientists. The recent success of AI programs to do better at this not only provides a powerful new tool to researchers, it also is a dramatic example of the rapid acceleration on the power of AI programs.”

He did printing of brochures and leaflets and such by hand. He had a hand powered press and millions of letters he used for making documents. I don’t think he ever did full books. Every once and a while he would let me help put a page together. Lots of work.

I lost touch with a friend in San Francisco decades ago. His name: Jeff Raymond. That _could_ be him. I just can’t tell.
