Edward Bennett (physicist)
Edward Bennett was an American physicist, known from his early involvements in wireless transmission.
He obtained a Ph.D. in electrical engineering at the Western University of Pennsylvania (1897).[1][2] The work was on spark-gap transmitters, jointly with William Bradshaw and supervised by Reginald Fessenden. Working at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, he achieved fame in the history of broadcasting from his work with Dr. Earle M. Terry that led to the first transmissions of the WHA (AM) radio station (1914). He later headed the electrical engineering department.

gollark: Here is a copy of the code I don't understand from the old version:```lualocal function descend(intermediateFn, terminalFn, i) local pattern = patterns[i] if pattern then intermediateFn(pattern) local pqty = pattern.qty -- Qty keys must be removed from the pattern for collation -- Otherwise, it shows up as a number stuck in the items needed table, which is bad. pattern.qty = nil local needs = util.collate(pattern) pattern.qty = pqty local has = {} for slot, item in pairs(pattern) do if util.satisfied(needs, has) then break end if patterns[item] then descend(intermediateFn, terminalFn, item) has[item] = (has[item] or 0) + (patterns[item].count or 1) end end else terminalFn(i) endendlocal function cost(i) local items = {} descend(function() end, function(i) table.insert(items, i) end, i) return util.collate(items)endlocal function tasks(i) local t = {} descend(function(pat) table.insert(t, pat) end, function() end, i) return tend```
gollark: Also, implementing whatever is done internally for finding free space to transfer to is hard!
gollark: I'm unlikely to have stupidly large autocrafting trees.
gollark: As long as it doesn't take more than a second it fits within my performance goals.
