Originally published in If magazine in September 1954: in this satirical tale (author is Robert Schekley), advanced robot soldiers fight a war against "Satan's forces," and after their victory, they are raptured upward to a metallic heaven by a divine presence.
Key details of the story "The Battle":
Plot: Humans rely on automatic armies, including robot interceptors, tanks, and H-bombs, to fight their battles.
The Climax: After the battle, a divine force ("The Presence") walks among the shattered robots, repairing them and causing them to ascend into the sky, essentially granting them a form of robot heaven.
Themes: It reflects Sheckley's common themes of technological satire, the absurdity of war, and the blurred lines between man and machine.
This story is sometimes remembered in discussions about "Silicon Heaven" or robot apotheosis.
Looking at yet another new sans typeface reminds me of looking through all the shades of white at a paint store. After a while, I just can't tell the differences or why they matter. Other people seem to have a talent for paint colors. Maybe same with fonts?
Shout out to those hardcores using De Bruijn notation. And bonus points if you're using just S, K, and I. Points off if you're using Y or some other fancy combinators.
Medical practitioners are tied into their own EHR systems. The fundamental problem with maintaining your own patient vault is friction. I doubt my caregivers would have the time to learn/use an app to look through my vault, let alone contribute to my vault. They are too busy working with their EHR systems.
The one science not rejected by the current US administration is Ballistics. The problem is that China can probably do it better than America. (I do realize that Nature does not have a specialty topic journal on ballistics and weapons.)
