Mixed media; Multi-paradigm

Can you please give me a Fibonacci function? One that only you would give me.
An experiment in expression and diversity in the field of computer science.

Fibonacci is a sequence of integers starting with $0$ and $1$, where every subsequent integer in the sequence is equal to the sum of the previous two. Every work in fib is a unique expression of this same sequence.

Turning on the computer

1. Turn on the projector and computer.
2. Log in to the computer's Hatch account using the password ******.
3. The projector should now show up as the computer's second monitor.
   • If you can't see the task bar at the top, or the aspect ratio looks weird, unplug the projector HDMI cable from the computer, and plug it back in.

Starting the video

1. On the desktop, double-click fib.mp4
2. When Quicktime Player opens, click View in the task bar at the top of the screen, and then make sure Loop is checked.
3. Put the video in full-screen on the projector

Starting the program

1. On the desktop double-click fib.command
2. When Terminal opens, put it in full-screen on the main monitor
3. Press command + + a few times to make the font bigger

Misc

• The wireless mouse should be kept in the back of the gallery!

just using this issue to keep track of my dumb ideas

• imperative implementation in the lambda calculus
• latex macro
• import python's @lru_cache decorator to implement caching for you
• scrape the internet for a result
• Deep learning model that estimates the Nth fib number
• Power point
• "Multi-threaded" with shared cache in Viper
• Use ANTLR. The AST is the representation of naturals. The generated visitor is instrumented to implement Fib
• Web app that visualises fib
• An AWS mapreduce lmao
• Fuzzing on a fib sequence validator to learn fibonacci
• fib as a macro that expands to a very simple ast that is compiled to nested lambdas that is interpreted with an application
• LOGISIM
• OCR pngs containing N -> pngs containing fib N
• SM213!
• A document of requirements for fibonacci like a team lead might give a developer
• closed form in math
• build some graph of numbers, and return an MST where the weight function encodes the properties of fib. ie, the MST is the fib sequence to N
• SQLite database where you upsert to implement cached fib
• same as above but mongo
• meta-fib: invokes a random fib from the fib repo
• low gas solidity (but not actually)
• fibonacci's game of life (like Conway's but with Fib inspired rules)
• distributed rabbits (a distributed system modeling conway's rabbits)
• human in the loop but without validation
• over some n, just return a random big number (because who is checking lol) on the order of $1.52^n$
• fib chain (block chain duh)
