  1. 20 de jun. de 2024 · It might surprise people to know that the seeds of this warp-speed computing power were planted back in the Manhattan Project by a Polish-American mathematician named Stanislaw Ulam. Ulam was born in 1909 to Jewish parents in what is today Ukraine but was then part of Poland.

  2. Há 2 dias · John von Neumann, Vernor Vinge and Ray Kurzweil define the concept in terms of the technological creation of super intelligence, arguing that it is difficult or impossible for present-day humans to predict what human beings' lives would be like in a post-singularity world.

  3. 26 de jun. de 2024 · Nicholas Metropolis, Stanislaw Ulam, and John von Neumann applied statistical methods on neutron diffusion with the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC), among the first electronic computers. In 1949, Metropolis and Ulam published a paper that gives the name to the renowned method.

  4. 7 de jul. de 2024 · Stanislaw Ulam, a friend and colleague of von Neumann, invented the Monte Carlo method of calculating probabilities using repeated simulations. While convalescing in hospital, he began to play solitaire to relieve the boredom.

  5. 9 de jul. de 2024 · They were invented in the 1940s by American mathematicians John von Neumann and Stanislaw Ulam at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Though apparently simple, some CAs are universal computers; that is, they can do any computer-capable computation.

  6. 21 de jun. de 2024 · From his calculations that informed the first atomic weapons designs — and later, the design of the H-bomb — to his adaptation of statistical sampling methods for programming the world’s first supercomputers, Ulams work continues to impact Los Alamos’s national security mission today.

  7. 9 de jul. de 2024 · Clarification: Nuclear Weapon-Cost story. The major figures in these breakthroughs were Ulam and Teller. In December 1950 Ulam had proposed a new fission weapon design, using the mechanical shock of an ordinary fission bomb to compress to a very high density a second fissile core.
