- 1Fan-Made Digital Circus Rap Battle Between AI Characters Goes Viral●AI Bros (Eniac vs Caine Theme Song)【THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS FAN 3D MUSIC VIDEO】
A fan-made 3D music video themed on The Amazing Digital Circus pits the AI character Eniac against Caine in a rap-battle-style theme song, voiced in the style of Cougar Macdowall's popular fan animations. The production has drawn over a million likes, showing the enduring appetite for fan-created songs and animations within the Digital Circus fandom.
- 2Los Alamos's early Monte Carlo nuclear simulations on ENIAC●Los Alamos bets on ENIAC: Nuclear Monte Carlo simulations, 1947–1948 (2014) [pdf]
A 2014 paper recounts how Los Alamos scientists used the ENIAC computer in 1947–1948 to run Monte Carlo simulations for nuclear weapons research. The work, involving figures such as Nicholas Metropolis and Stanislaw Ulam, marked an early milestone in computational physics and the use of random sampling to model complex probabilistic problems.
- 3Los Alamos Bets on Eniac: Nuclear Monte Carlo Simulations, 1947–1948●Los Alamos Bets on Eniac: Nuclear Monte Carlo Simulations, 1947–1948 [pdf]
A newly circulated paper recounts how Los Alamos scientists turned to the Eniac in 1947–1948 to run some of the earliest Monte Carlo simulations, using the pioneering computer to model nuclear processes through random sampling. The episode is widely seen as a founding moment of computational science, showing how wartime computing hardware was repurposed for peacetime physics research and helped establish a technique now used across finance, engineering and beyond.
