RE: https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:htdsafwakqmzvuk2oivijzn6/post/3myt3ada7mk2l The word “algorithm” is derived from the family name of Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, a Persian who lived in Baghdad and not only wrote down the instructions for what we now call “long addition” and “long multiplication” etc. — the instructions that European schools used for 400+ years — but also… …invented algebra. You know, nbd, just a Persian-Arab thing. “They don’t produce science”?!?? The Islamic world •gave Europe science•, you dimwit. Not that RFK would know science if it came up and bit him.
