Maybe its changed since I’ve been in grade/high school over 15 years ago, but I dont really recall anything about Babbage in my history classes or programming electives.

My history classes focused mostly the major ancient civilizations, and US history from the colonial 1600s to the civil rights act and moon landing 1960s. The history of computation and computer science is very lacking here in the US.

Most of my knowledge of the important computer science people comes initially from Numberphile and Computerphile. Almost every one of those names I’ve pulled in my previous came from having to google stuff like influential woman computer scientists.

Besides elsewhere in this thread is someone literally saying none of the names I’ve mentioned were anywhere in their AI research curriculum for university.

Even going back to Margaret Hamilton, the entire field of Software Engineering which she functionally created at NASA is basically a tech tree prerequisite to modern AI.

Honestly I’d even be surprised if people knew Ada Lovelace. Most people dont even know Charles Babbage who laid out the analytical machine she wrote her programs for.

Unless they’re already on that broadly nerdy Lemmy/Reddit style of fun facts that get shared quite frequently.

Margaret Boden, Karen Spärk Jones, Pamela McCorduck, Ruzena Bajczy, Janice Lourie.

All women heavily involved with ai research in the 1960s that laid foundations for ai and all fields of computer science.

Except for individuals like Ada Lovelace, Admiral Grace Hopper, Margaret Hamilton, Hedy Lamarr, and the many other women who greatly contributed to the field of computer science and engineering.

No amount of encryption is going to stop a mole who social engineers their way into a secure chat.

Walked out implies he was there and left. Getting stood up implies he never showed up in the first place.

Is this the same lexisnexis that does like book and research paper databases for university libraries?

Its been hitting me. Can’t use old.reddit without logging in and new reddit is an abomination.

This article is infuriating, she’s still a conservative after everything she experienced, after realizing conservatives have no principles other than power, and that she was a disposable token to be spent when convenient. And her big conclusion is that conservatives overreaching is leading to their downfall, and not the lack of principles or abject hatred of anyone who isnt cis, het, white, and male.

Why aren’t you doing anything to stop the further degradation of our constitution then?

Aww… welp keeping the champagne on standby.

Huh, today I learned. Appreciated!

I mean, we do know at this point that /pol/ and Q on 4chan wre an actual psyop by Bannon and Epstein to spread half nonsense conspiracy theories. So much of the bs spread through Q had just enough “if you squint hard enough they’re just telling you what they are doing” to make all the conspiracy theory shit work as well as it did. Like how there are so many references in the ao far released files to “pizza parties” as their codewords for raping children coincides in theming with Q directing psychos toward the basement of a random 1 story pizza parlor as the epicenter of a Clinton sex trafficking ring.

I also do believe in some extent to the “every conspiracy theory is a psyop to distract from the real conspiracy.” Sort of like dead internet theory, there’s still live human beings online, just that there are also a ton of bots out there and its difficult to tell the difference between the bots and the genuine people.

Snapchat maybe? I have no clue.

The illuminati conspiracy theorists were looking for a complicated narrative with magical bullshit to justify their hatred of Jewish people. The rest of us can plainly see that its just ridiculously easy for the billionaire class to pay off politicians for favorable legislation without the need for shadow puppets, MKUltra brainwashing and Jewish blood libel to explain everything.

My guess is they’re not a 50/50 binary. Like how in sports betting one team is favored over another to win, maybe its a 45/55 split. So if any given military action has a 5% chance of happening and a 95% chance of non happening, the overall aggregate of bets on this kind of thing should pretty closely mirror that 95/5 split.

So I’m supposed to believe that going from supplying Israel for 1 genocide is worse than supplying Israel for 2 genocides and engaging in our own genocide in a third nation?

You can fuck aaaaaalllllll the way off, you’re no leftist if you want to let trump do even worse genocide.

I never denied her involvement. I’m still saying trump is accelerating Israel’s genocide of Palestine, and theyre expanding it to Iran, oh and Jordan as well. Now I dont have a degree in mathematics, but last I checked, 3 genocides is more than 1 genocide and 3 genocides is much harder to stop than 1 genocide.

I did however express that her position was not going to worsen what was already happening the way trump clearly has worsened everything for everyone.

And your boy trump supported it even harder.
