Diedo is memorialised on a 1728 Venetian monument affixed to the Defensive Wall of the New Fortress of Corfu Town, displaying above the Lion of Saint Mark (the symbol of Venice) and the arms of Diedo.[1] It is inscribed in Latin as follows:

D(eo) O(ptimo) M(aximo)
Aloysius Mocenico Venetiarum Dux
Marcus Antonius Diedo Moderat(o)r Supremus
Georgius Grimani Classis Praefectus
Haec Primus Jussit
Alter Disposuit
Tertius Noctudiurno Labore Brevit(e)r Absolvit

("To God, most good, most great, Alvise III Mocenigo, Duke of the Venetians (i.e. Doge); Marco Antonio Diedo, Supreme Governor (Venetian Provveditore Generale da Mar 1728-31 ("Superintendent General of the Sea"));[1] Giorgio Grimani, Commander of the Fleet; the first ordered this (i.e. the Wall); the second planned it; the third, by labour day and night, quickly completed it").

gollark: Less so, since you can do some of the work closer to the data and not have to move it much.
gollark: I would look it up, except I have no idea what search queries to try.
gollark: The thing I was looking at involved sticking somewhat general-purpose computers into the RAM chips, not just having dedicated analog computers for things.
gollark: I've heard about more general ways to achieve similar sorts of thing, like sticking HBM stuff onto GPUs and some computing-in-memory thing.
gollark: And brains are annoying to do things with since they're not understood very well and can't be copied/run in simulation very easily.
