You’re question made me think of rainbow codes, the naming scheme for British secret military projects during part of the cold war.
I couldn’t find the wordlist they used (if there ever was an official one), but if you used a system like that (with two words instead of one), then you might even get away with making your own wordlist by hand.
ammo is much harder to manufacture
I’m not sure if that’s true. I don’t have any experience with it myself, but lead is notoriously easy to cast at home, because of its low melting point.
So it seems to me, all it takes to make some (shitty) ammo is some lead, a mould (which you can make from clay) and an explosive.
For a proper modern gun, that last piece is probably pretty difficult, and you would need to make casings somehow too (I’m not sure how difficult that would be). But if you were using some form of (possibly homemade) flintlock or similar, the gunpowder from fireworks should be enough.
I think regulating both guns and ammo is the way to go.
This is actually something that a turing machine is suitable for.
Get youself something to remember what state you’re in, write the rules on a sheet of paper and use a stack of paper as the tape, with each piece of paper being one cell.
Turing’s idea was to build a mathematical model that mirrored how humans go about large, complex tasks.
Honestly, all of these super basic mathematical models for calculation are fairly well suited to being “run” by hand.
Random-access-machines can be done similarly to turing machines. Write the program down, keep the program counter on one piece of paper, and have a (numbered) stack of paper as memory.
And lambda-calculus is probably the easiest. Just write out the expression, and then write out each reduction step. This is what functional programming languages build on, and with the additional effort of checking types, you could probabl evaluate something like Haskell by hand pretty well.
All of those are turing complete (if you ignore infinite memory).
EDIT: spelling
Used to be “oh, I want to do something with computers and programming”.
By now that’s solidified into either some sort of sysadmin, or something in the field of designing microprocessors.
I’m also considering instead training to become an ATC after I’m done with my CS degree.
Yes, TinyCore-Core comes without a GUI (like the commenter above said, headless). When they say 28 MB RAM, that might even be overestimating it a bit. All of TinyCore-Core fits into just 17 MB. Of course that goes up if you need to install things, and I don’t know if it comes with an ssh-Server out-of-the-box. So for a proper server setup, 28 MB sounds pretty reasonable.
It blows my mind, that there is an entire Linux Distro, that fits into a modern processor’s cache. Who needs RAM anyways? (unfortunately, because of how cache works, we can’t actually use it without RAM)
What exactly makes this stand out as AI to you, and not just cosplay?
I can’t really find any of the telltale signs of AI. The books on the shelf all look fine, the mirror on the left edge looks perfect and I can’t find anything immediately noticeable on the costume.
If this is AI, I think it’s probably just the face, maybe the whole person, but certainly not the whole picture. But maybe I missed something, please let me know.
Depending on the language, there might exist an automated tool for generating those kinds of diagrams from code.
Technically not one book, but uhh… one/two book series: Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson.
