Blazing a literal trail while talking about a trailblazer is genius

Perhaps each generation of scholars, at any level, is blessed by having better tools for learning but as with all improvement things never get easier because that which must be achieved (learned) also increases. I stagger to think how difficult learning via letter must be and maybe in a hundred years scholars will stagger to think how difficult it was to learn in the 20th and 21st centuries. Wonderful NZ ! My favourite landscape in the world of countries I have visited. Like a more accessible Switzerland with more variety.

What a wonderful "article" about Ada Lovelace. She was definitely a woman ahead of her time. And also, how wonderful that all these learned and historically significant male mathematicians took her and her work seriously. Thanks for a great trip down history's lane.

@gandalf8216 13 днів тому

As a software developer since the late 80's, Lovelace has always been close to my heart. To perceive a problem, and find a solution to it, and then develop upon it, it's an approach that speaks to me. No, I don't make websites, I'm more involved in low-level stuff on the processor level, and translating runtime things to bridge programming languages. The mathematics with its roots in Turing (and Ada, at least in terms of implementation) is something that makes my blood flow. Anyway, I named one of my cats after Ada Lovelace, Ada. My other cat is named Curie after Marie Curie, but that's only because Cecilia (Payne Gaposchkin) didn't really translate well in cat-ish, sounding very hissy and hostile. There's so many great women historically, and I find them utterly uncelebrated.

@b43xoit 12 днів тому

@cosmicspectrum4507 12 днів тому

Fun Fact: Marie Curie was the first person ever to win TWO Nobel Prizes - one for physics in 1903, the other for chemistry in 1911 for her work on radioactivity.

@deounb 10 днів тому

@kreigrastalovich2577 8 днів тому

Why? As a software developer? She never had any part in software, just translation work and did propose using loom design cards as a means of entering data - that's it. Everything else is made up in the name of female empowerment, like so many things since the 90s.

@DavidLindes 4 дні тому

@jecelassumpcaojr890 13 днів тому

Ada's Bernoulli Numbers program was the first published piece of software. Babbage had obviously already written a few programs (though not as complex) while designing the Analytical Engine and we can now see his notebooks, but it is fair to say Ada started the Open Source movement.

its good to walk, the spine doesnt have circulation all the way to the core so depends on the pumping action when we walk to give it circulation. Be kind to your back and walk.

Ada mentioned the idea that computers might be used to make music - it would be quite something for someone over 100 hundred years ago such as her to time travel to now and observe (and hear!) audio synthesis, recordings, and generative AI to make music!

(like first early maths-kindergarten-1st grade…) so by the time i DO get to the good stuff, i’d be prepared. there is something in math that i love so much about it. and i wanna explore more of it. i just *feel* that there is more to know. i hope to achieve my milestone one day.

Linda Lovelace was mentioned in an episode of QI with Stephen Fry, where they talked about the first computer program, written on “punchcards” for looms. Apparently the new technology was too much for French textile weavers, and fearing loss of livelihood, they threw their wooden shoes into the looms to damage/destroy them. The shoes are called sabots… and this is where the word “sabotage” originated. The more you know.

I paused the video at 4:11, proved the expression in 30 seconds, thought I was a genius, unpaused the video, and realised I wasn't so smart after all. I envy Ada Lovelace so much, as I'm always yearning for the deepest secrets that maths, logic, and physics have to offer, but still can't understand elementary stuff like Gram-Schmidt orthogonalisation or integration by parts.

@larryburns7225 11 днів тому

What Majestic views. thanks for the story of Ada Lovelace. I am going to reward you with a special women and a quote from her. "Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond" (Hypatia of Alexandria. Mathematician, Astronomy, Philosophy) there is a cool movie made about Hypatia it's called Agora played by Rachel Weisz.

It's really no mystery how Ada developed her interest in maths. Her mother Anne Isabella Noel Byron had an life long interest in the subject--Lord Byron disparaged her as "the Princess of the Parallelogram") Indeed during the Regency period maths was consider a suitable subject for young ladies. It was thought to order the mind
