The mentioned book is Büching's 1703 dissertation which took place in Halle with Hoffmann as the overseeing professor. As I understand it Hoffmann later published parts or all of it in a compilation but he certainly didn't author it, Büching did.

thread_title:  Bitcoin & prime numbers & factoring 

message: Why do so many tech articles end up being about the companies that develop the tech, rather than the tech itself?
I think most people come to this page to learn about GPUs. I'd like to see a simple example of how they take an input, process an algorithm in parallel and produce an output that can be displayed on a screen.
Perhaps the article contains this, but if so it's buried in hundreds of lines of historical references and lots of "who did what first" for companies like Sony, Toshiba, Nvidia, ATI, Midway, Taito, Namco, Centuri, Gremlin, Irem, Konami, Midway, Nichibutsu, Sega and more.
One could write a bot to write these articles and program it with a few basic patterns, e.g. X1 built a Y1 that had Z1. Then X2 built a derivative called Y2 that had Z2. Meanwhile X3 build a totally different Y3 that had Z3. Ultimately X2 acquired both X1 and X3. It's kind of silly.

thread_title: Untitled

message: I have an old old old (legitimate) copy of Autodesk Animator Pro, the box still sitting on my bookshelf, from I think 1993.  It used Pico as a scripting tool for custom special effects, specific rendering instructions, etc, and even included as one of its manuals a Pico Programming Language Reference Guide.
I don't know if Autodesk even still makes new Animator Pro the way they still work on 3D Studio (or does Autodesk even own 3D Studio any more?), it'd be interesting if this little-used programming semi-language is still used in some professional market software as a means of user-end scripting though.
: I'm afraid that's impossible, the Pico language wasn't developped until 1996 or something. I can check with the author if you want, but I'm pretty sure. Maybe it was another language called pico? --wlievens
::Lol, crap.  Okay I just took out and dusted off the manuals.  That was "Poco Programming Language", described: "Poco is a subset of the C programming language, with special graphics commands that can perform most of the functions of Autodesk Animator Pro.  For example, Poco can draw, set ink types, specify optics effects, and control animation time."  Heh, so it wasn't Pico.  I don't think I've ever seen Pico, then.

Talk:Jack Brymer

message: While revising this article I have, with regret, removed the following, all contributed by User:Saxstudio in December 2009. Saxstudio noted at the time, "Additional information which I learned as his private pupil. I have about 10 hours of tape-recordings of these lessons, and his voice in inimitable, so it is verifiable", and I'm sure that's true, but I'm afraid it doesn't meet the requirements of Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources.
*1. He learned everything he knew about the Saxophone by having to play it next to Walter Lear (the doyenne of Classical Saxophone of those days), who supplied him with a mouthpiece for the Alto Saxophone (which he played for the rest of his life).  
*2. He was an important session musician. He played Bass Clarinet on the sound-tracks of the Hammer horror movies featuring actors Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. 
*3. He took over leadership of the London Saxophone Quartet after the death of its founder Michael Krein, playing Soprano Saxophone (which he considered the most 'Classical' of the Saxophone family). 
*4. He was virtually alone in being the complete master of both the 'Classical' and the Jazz styles. He could play Benny Goodman's style almost indistinguishably from Benny Goodman himself. 
*5. He was a personal friend of Benny Goodman. In earlier years, he played Saxophone and Clarinet in Dance Bands.
I have removed this very interesting (and I'm sure correct) material with great reluctance, but I think WP's rules require it. I'd be delighted to be told I'm wrong, but, alas, I fear I'm not. Tim riley (talk) 19:31, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I would have no hesitation in removing 1 and 4, which seem to be useless trivia, either plagiarized from this or vice versa.  Theoretically 2 is verifiable, if there are complete credits for the soundtracks of these movies (and it is also here). I would put that in with a cn tag.  Part of 3 ought to be verifiable if there were any reviews of this quartet, or if it has a good website with history.  Again, it is either copied, or vice versa, from this.   Re:5 - Other than the same tribute site, I see nothing on Google that indicates that Brymer and Goodman were close friends.  If you could find no indication that he played with dance bands, I agree that that should not go in.  In summary, I would try to check on #3 and I would put in #2 with a cn tag.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:22, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Hadrian

message: It is somewhat anachronistic to categorise Hadrian under the contemporary socio-political heading of "LGBT". It's impossible to know whether these categories would align with Hadrian's own understanding of his sexuality and I wonder to what extent it might be more accurate to create a new category along the lines of "Homosexuality/bisexuality in the ancient world" or something similar. There are issues with this too but it would perhaps feel less like retrospective recruitment. Perhaps a more experienced Wikipedian with the necessary academic understanding might consider this? Either way, if "LGBT" is retained, it's applied unevenly to ancient world pages. For example, Plato is not listed in that category.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C6:1403:B801:99DA:914D:1566:454B (talk) 23:11, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: If the "LGBT Roman Emperors" category continues to exist, I find it difficult to see how Hadrian can reasonably be excluded from it. This page and the Antinous page both have references to the fact that they were lovers and it is common to talk about Hadrian as gay/homosexual/LGBT in contemporary media (e.g. ) and scholarship (e.g. R. B. Parkinson, A Little Gay History 2013; Danziger & Purcell, Hadrian's Empire, 2006 "Like his predecessor Trajan, Hadrian's orientation seems to have been exclusively homosexual"). I'm not aware of any current scholarship that disputes this. The attention paid to this in contemporary media means that it is probably a "defining" characteristic. Obviously, "LGBT" is a modern term, but any discussion of the appropriateness of using it to categorise ancient people should happen elsewhere (CfD or relevant wikiprojects), not here. 21:28, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
