Before digital computers, jet fighters used theBendix Central Air Data Computer, a mechanical computer designed to handle all the mathematical equations using a network of gears and cams of all shapes and sizes.

I know nothing about this but I stay curious. Just like Navier-Stokes equations can be proved with numerical approximations, can this be verified even if we never solve it?

The author lost credibility due to his bio: I worked on Google's car team in its early years and am an advisor and/or investor for car OEMs and many of the top startups in robocars, sensors, delivery robots and even some flying cars. Plus AR/VR and software.

Wow! you may be right.

The Lindy effect is not some immutable law. It's an observation and it does not necessarily have to be always true. A friend of mine was funded by a Tier 1 VC and has an office in Palo Alto. But all of engineering is in Princeton, NJ. He is thinking of opening another office somewhere in Texas if needed.

understanding is a function of memory which is a function of time which is a function of gravity which is a function of the curvature of space time.

That's how law works.
