A little bit of a winsome voice like Anne Briggs' from a similar time and in the British Isles ...

Hallo Peter,

Maybe at the same time you could explore VIRTUALLY making the first PC ever from 1974 from a kit, the Altair 8800 (named after the dog or a stellar destination in the Star Trek TV show), and which I teach about in my course - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html

Searched on

Popular Mechanics 1974 article Altair 8800

Found, but not the article itself yet -




I've put in hard drives and RAM into MacBook's before, but never any further self-computer building.

Searched too via Google online for build your own laptop, but nothing professional came up.
Who makes your computer kit / DIY computer? Is it a laptop? Is the manual with which to build your computer a booklet, or is it online? Are there design-manual simulations we could develop in a realistic virtual earth - as a virtual design manual with 1-1 physical-digital correspondence potential?

Another WUaS idea ...

Shall we
eventually get such CR-rated top laptop  computers at WUaS for distribution to English-speaking German students for autumn 2020+ and via the WUaS bookstore, refurbished to start? ... brainstorming wise 

Cheers,
Scott

Some 'big idea' recent Tweets:

Did you see this Ethics of the Digital Transformation Harvard Law panel video - 
https://youtu.be/83zjx0k2fTw - with the President of Germany - 
https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1190284741502631936 ? I blogged a little about this here in this ethics' post - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/kea-where-are-object-database-systems.html - and may blog further about it soon-ish (other 'big ideas').

Hello Scott,

Thanks for the list. I have already ordered computer parts, as I will build my own computer this time.

Cheers,

Peter

Hallo Peter,

Hier sind 'ratings' mit Preisen fuer 12-13 inch Laptops von Consumer Reports, zu Deiner Information und als Referenz: 

Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch With Touch Bar (2019, Core i5) 
80/100 - $2000

LG Gram 13 8th Gen
79/100 - $1,120

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (2019, MVFH2LL/A) 
73/100 - $1,100

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch
72/100 - $900

Microsoft Surface Pro 6 (Core i7)
70/100 - $1,335

Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 (Core i7)
69/100 - $1,300

Samsung Notebook 9 Pro (2019)
69/100 - $1,100

Dell XPS 13 (XP S9380 - 7066SLV)
68/100 - $1,860

HP Spectre Folio
68/100 - $1,400

Microsoft Surface Pro 6 (Core i5)
68/100 - $800

Asus ZenBook UX331UA-AS51
68/100 - $800

MS
MS
MS
X Lenovo
X Samsung

There are a couple further categories of computer ratings (eg 14 inch Laptops etc) in this December 1, 2019 issue of CR.

But for a view from America's west coast (and CR is based in NY, and we all own it), and if one chooses one of these machines from a few years ago, one often can find good value. 

I got a refurbished 2014 Apple MacBook Air 13-inch laptop some years ago, and it works fine, and is so far very reliable. Vielleicht hast du bereits einen neuen Computer bekommen.

Cheers, Scott

Hi Jim,

Here's the actual video of the Harvard panel:

Ethics of the Digital Transformation (Webcast)

https://youtu.be/83zjx0k2fTw
https://cyber.harvard.edu/events/ethics-digital-transformation-webcast
J Hofmann,
M Liao,
M Nobles,
W Schulz,
E Weber-Guskar,
Frank-Walter Steinmeier,
Urs Gasser,
CS Yang,
Harvard Law/BKC & Governance of Artificial Intelligence Initiative > /Ethics



Am curious with regard to this Harvard panel about the QUALITY of translation and re "Z inspection ..." ... Translation quality would have significant impact in any hypothetical "Z-inspection ... " (but although I understood Frank-Walter Steinmeier's live presentation in German, I can't compare here because there's an overdub in English) ... and cross-ecosystem (a Roberto Zicari idea ...) ...

And re my IBM CSIG Universal Translator talk - https://youtu.be/f48b0Z4VffQ - re World Univ & Sch plans for translation - 
05 May (2016)Scott MacLeod“A Universal Translator as a Cognitive System, beginning as a Guidebook with Test”World University and SchoolSlidesRecor
 http://cognitive-science.info/community/weekly-update/ - (between Wikidata's 300 languages and between all 7111 known living languages), focusing on quality for such hypothetical ethics' AI questions (and 'inspections' !) would be potentially valuable. 

With this example -

Gerd Moe-Behrens
@GerdMoeBehrens
Uber self-driving car involved in fatal crash couldn't detect jaywalkers

  https://twitter.com/GerdMoeBehrens/status/1192200486021144582

... how would a hypothetical retroactive "Z inspection ... " work?

Here again is my blog entry soon after Roberto Zicari's recent IBM CSIG talk - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/kea-where-are-object-database-systems.html .

Best, Scott
