Dyson Spheres and Von Neumann machines

[ #13349 ]

I have been looking through the list of tutorials and talks for OSCON. On Friday the first keynote of the day is the following.

Keynote
Von Neumann's Universe: Coding (and Engineering) at the IAS, 1945-1956
George Dyson
Track: Keynote
Date: Friday, July 11
Time: 8:45am - 9:30am
Location: Oregon Ballroom

For any fans of Larry Niven, the Dyson Sphere (named after George Dyson's dad Freeman Dyson) and Von Neumann machines are referenced in many of Nivens' books. Not that I expect that'll be a feature of the keynote, but an interesting aside possibly.
