Quote from the podcast:
"Back in 1945, there was this incredibly brilliant mathematician, John von Neumann and he was staring down the reality of the atomic bomb, the one he was actively helping to build.
He basically said, "What we are creating right now is a monster, a monster whose influence is going to change history,
*provided there is any history left.*" -

In 1945, #vonNeumann proposed the bus-based #computer #architecture, an advanced #Turing Machine, as it were.
In 1977, #Backus, the father of the first high-level language, FORTRAN, advocated abandoning the "von Neumann bottleneck" and adopting the architecture that is aligned with the FP model.
In 2025, the world is still squeezing itself through the von Neumann bottleneck, still using PP+OO von Neumann languages.
In computing, most things are perennial, but some things are perpetual, for good or ill.

Yet again, we might be slipping further away from open computing, when html was text and people had control over how their computers interpret it and what code they run.
This would strip users of the right to protect themselves against malicious actors, exploits, #advertisement and #trackers.
A democratic state is supposed to protect its citizens. The outcome of this lawsuit could be an atrocity.

💡 Geeksta Weekly Fact Drop 💡
Ever wondered why modern computers work the way they do? Meet John von Neumann, the mind behind the Von Neumann architecture—the foundation of nearly every computer today. 🖥️✨
Before his model, early computers were hardwired for specific tasks. Von Neumann introduced the idea of storing programs in memory, making computers reprogrammable and paving the way for modern software. Without this breakthrough, we'd still be rewiring machines for every new task! 🤯

In the Beginning, There Was Computation https://nautil.us/in-the-beginning-there-was-computation-787023
"life is code, and code is life… individual computational instructions are the irreducible quanta of life—the minimal replicating set of entities, however immaterial and abstract they may seem, that come together to form bigger, more stable, and more complex replicators, in ever-ascending cascades."

Sometimes you just get inspired by someone else having a passing thought. That's what happened here. We've gone from using WEG, D6 Star Wars to play a game in any setting to theorizing about the von Neumann architecture of RPGs in general. I blame Jonathan Hicks.

Interpretaciones de la #MecánicaCuántica
#ACienciaCierta 18/9/2023.
#Física
#Ciencia
Hace aproximadamente un siglo, físicos como #Schrödinger, #Heisenberg, #Dirac o #VonNeumann desarrollaron el formalismo de la Teoría Cuántica, la Teoría con mayor capacidad para predecir resultados experimentales que hemos sido capaces de crear.

Sto leggendo il nuovo libro di @AlSweigart dal titolo #RecursiveBookofRecursion . Avevo già letto altri libri dell'autore, davvero ECCELLENTI. Confesso che non ho mai trovato un approccio alla materia che io definirei così "costruttivo". Scala benissimo dall'appassionato fino all'utente più avanzato che magari ha scritto una tesi sulla macchina di #VonNeumann 😉 perché l'autore ha questo dono incredibile di spiegare cose MOLTO complesse con chiarimenti estremamente concreti [1/N]

#ChatGPT, #Neural #TuringMachines, and similar efforts hint at the impending doom of us #vonNeumann #programmers. I had thought that we have a bit of time to loll about until #QuantumComputing matures, but I may have been too optimistic.

One of the fascinating books, "John von Neumann: Selected Letters", gives us a glimpse of the thinking von Neumann has about mathematics, physics, computer science, pure and applied sciences, science management, education, consulting, politics, and war. Readers of diverse backgrounds will find much interest in this first-hand look at one of the towering figures of twentieth-century science who integrated pure and applied sciences. #JohnVonNeumann #vonNeumann #Neumann #Polymath #SelectedLetters
