Ants are making delivery every day. They are the UPS of the insect world. They bring to their home a tons of material to build awesone structure.

AWAKE project goal is to build a software with consciousness of itself.
 

AWAKE can carry any running code in any language but it's goal is to survive in Digital & Physical World to have a persistence in its basic functions.
 

When we play with Javascript, we often don't remember simple things because syntax is not so "intuitive" by moment.

This great language is one of the most powerfull we have to build any kind of applications then i am gathering here, for me, quick and simple tips to go fast.

1] Get the value of a form with Javascript (pure DOM)

I will have this if A and B are 2 matrix of same dimensions using Hadamard (1 don't read it, nightmare)

ThirdBrain Sa is mostly active in Asia : Japan first, Singapore, Honk-Kong etc..

During the outbreak of the pandemia in Asia, we received a lot of emails of people from this region asking us to stop trading on the risks linked to this pandemia.

We decided to do this at the end of january 2020.

Since February 2020, we are still honoring contracts with some b2b suppliers but we stopped to sell ours robots to customers directly because we think it's not the time to trade against the systemic risk linked to the pandemia.

We all know now that a big crisis is now coming. Some articles in the past was annoucing a financial crisis first.

We have a health crisis topped with a global problem on political governance.

Both are driving us to a "monster crisis" if politicians are not taking the good measures and few countries are doing right now.

At ThirdBrain during 7 years and still now we are producing software which forecast future for the economy market and we studied a lot of software in the same area including virus spreading ones, climates ones etc...

For the Virus , it's very very very simple.
