He was a smoker, and he invited me to come smoke with the judges. SCORE! This was much less conspicuous and I had a chance to chat it up with more of the judges. #corememory #debate

#Roboter überall: Ein erster Blick auf #Teslas gigantische #Semi-Fabrik
Hier ist er nun: Der weltweit erste Blick in die Tesla Semi-Fabrik in Sparks, Nevada.
Tesla hat den Semi über mehrere Jahre hinweg entwickelt und optimiert. Jetzt beginnt die Produktion. Letzten Monat erhielten wir die exklusive Erstbesichtigung der Fabrik, in der diese vollelektrischen Trucks in Serie gefertigt werden...

Quand je ne fais pas des visuels en ascii je fais des affiches pour des (super) évènements qui interrogent la matérialité des infrastructures du #numerique. Comme illustration j'ai réutilisé une photographie de #CoreMemory qui était tissée/assemblée à la main par des travailleuses dans les années 60 et utilisée par la NASA. 🪡

Before experimenting with magnetic cores for transient storage, #JayForrester was casting around for other potential electronic devices which might function as fast memory for the real-time #Whirlwind #Computer. The team had discounted mercury delay lines and magnetic drum memory, with their serial access, as too slow for Whirlwind. The team was working on their own implementation of Williams tubes, but these were endlessly problematic and not as fast in practice as theory indicated.
In 1947 Forrester even had briefly considered using interconnected "gas glow discharge cells" in three-dimensional array, for these offered such advantages, at least theoretically, as "high initial breakdown voltage," "...low holding voltage, and low forward impedence [sic] after breakdown..." But investigations were "soon dropped because of the variability of the individual cells with time and from sample to sample."
From the 1967 manuscript "PROJECT WHIRLWIND: A Case History in Contemporary Technology" by Kent C. Redmond and Thomas M. Smith available at http://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pdf/mit/whirlwind/history/Redmond_Project_Whirlwind_A_Case_History_In_Contemporary_Technology_1975.pdf published in 1975 by The MITRE Corporation and republished in 1980 by Digital Press (yes, that Digital) in a gorgeous hardback edition with superbly reproduced black and white photos.
There's little technical information about the development of the computer in the book; instead, the book is about the institutional, systemic and political pressures that gave Project Whirlwind the complexion that it had.

Thanks to a book recommendation by @bert_hubert [1], I went on a tangent learning more about the absolutely fascinating history and workings of core memory (and core rope memory, its read-only version). Some of this also very interesting for #PermaComputing and giving me ideas for future art projects...

No collection is complete without a core memory module. In my case from a Saratov-2 computer manufactured in the USSR.
The individual rings are smaller than the head of a pin, amazing!
As soon as I have a macro lens for my camera, I will take new photos. Additionally I'll add something for scale...

In 1972, #core #memory was manufactured in #Dublin by the Irish subsidiary of US-headquartered Dataproducts, trading as "Data Products/Core Memories Ltd."
They made what they claimed was "...the world’s largest core stack, 131K x 80". Judging by the info in the caption, the latter number is the number of bits per word, so in eight-bit bytes, that's 1,310 kilobytes.
I can't imagine that business survived more than a couple more years. Soon the semiconductor manufacturers had set up shop in Ireland.

Here is a link (cued to the time where it starts) of the best and most clear explanation of how core memory works. Reading & writing a bit has many steps!
Now I want to know how modern memory works with a similar level of detail.
I always felt there was something poetic about how one must destroy this kind of memory in order to read it. Observation is never passive... to observe a system is to change it... #computer #memory #history #coreMemory #cs
