- 1Fan-made AI Bros music video pits Eniac against Caine▼AI Bros (Eniac vs Caine Theme Song)【THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS FAN 3D MUSIC VIDEO】
A fan-made 3D music video titled 'AI Bros (Eniac vs Caine Theme Song)' set in The Amazing Digital Circus universe is drawing big audiences, racking up well over a million views shortly after release. Created by voice actor Cougar MacDowall, the rap-battle style song imagines a showdown between two AI characters from the animated indie series, continuing the franchise's wave of popular fan productions.
- 2How Los Alamos used ENIAC for early nuclear simulations▼Los Alamos bets on ENIAC: Nuclear Monte Carlo simulations, 1947–1948 (2014) [pdf]
A 2014 paper recounts how Los Alamos scientists turned to the ENIAC in 1947 and 1948 to run Monte Carlo simulations of nuclear processes, a landmark moment in the use of electronic computers for physics research. The work helped establish simulation methods still central to nuclear science and computing history today.
- 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.
