One of my early neural network jobs gave me the opportunity to meet many of the early pioneers in the field. One of those early pioneers was Bernard "Bernie" Widrow. Bernie came to our lab in the 1980s and gave us a clear demonstration of his ADALINE neuron. Sadly, Bernie passed away on September 30, 2025, but this video is similar to the demonstration that he gave us nearly 40 years ago.



Thank you Bernie.      :salutes:

Jack London wrote:Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would have known that trouble was brewing, not alone for himself, but for every tide-water dog, strong of muscle and with warm, long hair, from Puget Sound to San Diego.


That's the opening sentence from Jack London's "Call of the Wild". I am reminded of that line as I see us racing toward our own obsolescence.

This was an interesting talk. I don't agree with all of it, but it presents important aspects of what's to come.
