A brief word of explanation - this is an old, old website, #historyofcomputing on the hoof, and a lot of stuff doesn't work. The last time I published to it was 2014, and even that was an attempt at revival after it had lain dormant since 2009. Some of it dates back to 1997 or so.
Everything pertinent to Jumbo works. Everything else is ... well. Don't bother notifying me of things that don't work, let's put it that way.
It's a miracle the blog works again, honestly.

I'm halfway through a reimplementation of Douglas Hofstadter's 1982 program Jumbo, the first implementation of his parallel terraced scan, and I've written a bit about it.
Explanatory blog post at http://www.vivtek.com/blog/jum-sprint-done.html, and that links to a PDF paper, the code, and a few explanatory pages on the project. Feedback welcome! But I'll keep plugging away regardless. It's got its teeth into me now.

L'OKI IF-800 Model 50 de 1983 est fascinant :
un ordinateur conçu comme infrastructure de bureau, avec Kanji natif et approche “système”.
Il montre pourquoi le Japon, malgré sa maîtrise technique, a perdu la bataille des standards mondiaux.A lire : https://www.silicium.org/index.php/blog-catalogue/divers/oki-if-800-model-50

📜 In the 1950s, Dr. Newell and Simon were developing the Logic Theory Machine to simulate human problem-solving. They faced a challenge: tracking an unpredictable number of logical statements. Early machines like ENIAC used fixed-size arrays, where the size had to be predefined.
🤔Want to know how they solved this, given those limitations?
