"In November 2023, a large cache of his wartime papers—nicknamed the “Bayley papers”—was auctioned in London for almost half a million U.S. dollars. The previously unknown cache contains many sheets in Turing’s own handwriting, telling of his top-secret “Delilah” engineering project from 1943 to 1945. Delilah was Turing’s portable voice-encryption system, named after the biblical deceiver of men."

Alan Turing, the man who made machines think.

The British mathematician, whose fate was both exceptional and tragic, is considered a founding figure for the idea of artificial intelligence. His story, long overlooked, continues to be studied in the light of current developments in computer science.

I'm thinking it's MUCH more important to read the ideas of people like #AlanTuring - not "books about computer science"!!
You have to be a forward-thinking, visionary. It's of much less value to the visionary to keep up with the current technologies.

Research the studies, and thoughts of the visionaries.

e.g. I'll betcha Steve Jobs never installed Macromedia Flash on his Internet Explorer. Why do I believe that, you ask?

You're never going to build the next Node.js if you're too busy learning Node.js

E.g. That's why I ditched #WordPress albeit, I still have that ridiculous domain name. I was highed-up! plus, the jackass web host guy who hates me because ... who knows. people believe things heard about you, when they hear things about you, and haven't replied to you in 20 years. meh. true friends. true cost of heroin

But yeah. You see: the real web site is CENTREwebdesign.com

I said, dud-- i want a domain name for my #wordpress stuff.

so he registered WordPress Center.
I wanted WordPress.Centrewebdesign.com

Furthermore, shouldn't the registrar, wso.host have been aware that #MattMullenweg is a cry baby? @photomatt bedding at the @ted conference

Today in Labor History November 27, 1835: James Pratt and John Smith were hanged in London, the last two people to be executed for sodomy in England. William Bonill, whose room it was, was transported to Australia as an accessory to the crime, where he died. They were convicted entirely on the testimony of the landlord, who had been spying on them through the keyhole. In 2017, they were posthumously pardoned under the Alan Turing Law, an amnesty law that pardoned British men who had previously been convicted of sodomy. The law was named for mathematician, cryptologist and computer scientist Alan Turing. Home Secretary, Lord Russell, argued for a commutation of the death sentences, stating: “It is the only crime where there is no injury done to any individual and in consequence it requires a very small expense to commit it in so private a manner and to take such precautions as shall render conviction impossible. It is also the only capital crime that is committed by rich men but owing to the circumstances I have mentioned they are never convicted.”

@kityates

not only was #lovelace the world's first #programmer, she was also the first #AI detractor

and i know that because the first non-#sciencefiction proponent of AI, #alanturing, cited her in his defense of/ argument for AI

#turing framed the foundational thoughts of the entire field of AI, as an argument against ada's thoughts

and she lived many decades before turing!

#adalovelace was an amazing woman

she deserves her own hollywood movie
