Today is the 25th Anniversary of the start of Haiku OS, an open source OS attempting to pick up where BeOS left off. It is a clean room re-implementation of the public BeOS APIs that tried to embrace a lot of its core features like pervasive multithreading, desktop first, etc. It is still in active development, but in beta status, that can be a fun alternative OS to play with. This Google Tech Talk presentation on the state of the project 6 years in provides a lot of historical background I forgot. It was nice to see Jean-Louis Gasset, the founder and CEO of Be Inc give a warm introduction to the presentation. #BeOS #HaikuOS #foss #ComputerHistory youtu.be/tbXsqXhjEGU?si=2kbp4C… -

She wrote the first computer program in the 1840s — before a computer existed to run it. Ada Lovelace opens this whole story.

#OpenAI launched #ComputerHistory, an optional feature for ChatGPT Work and Codex on #macOS. It captures user activity across apps and websites to create a timeline, allowing ChatGPT to answer context-based questions without screenshots. Users have full control over which apps and websites are included, and the data is stored locally. https://thenewstack.io/openai-chatgpt-computer-history/?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

ChatGPT per Mac introduce #ComputerHistory, sostituendo Chronicle. La nuova funzione permette a #OpenAI di apprendere dalle attività svolte sul Mac anche esternamente all'app per migliorare il contesto. https://kiro.it/BVAbT #chatgpt #macos

ChatGPT wird auf dem Mac zum Arbeitsgedächtnis. Computer History erfasst Klicks und Eingaben über alle Apps hinweg und setzt unterbrochene Aufgaben fort. Rohdaten verschwinden nach 48 Stunden. Echte Automatisierung statt reinem Wiederfinden. #ChatGPT #OpenAI #ComputerHistory #Mac #AIGeneratedImage

"Title: Parametron, 1954
Citation: The Parametron, a logic element using ferrite cores and parametric oscillation, was invented in 1954 by Eiichi Goto at the University of Tokyo. 4,200 parametrons went into the PC-1, Japan’s first university-built stored-program computer which became the nation's then-fastest in 1958."

Whatever Happened to the Computer of Tomorrow, Anyway? The Xerox Alto Story

Computer history is rarely as clear-cut as labels like “the first computer” suggest. The story of programming ENIAC shows how new evidence, changing definitions, and overlooked technical details can complicate familiar historical narratives:

And the handwriting looks about as readable as mine.
