В начале была цифра. Почему создание поисковых систем началось с Библии

Поиск по цифровым документам, от простого текстового файла до Всемирной паутины, гораздо проще, чем поиск по бумажным носителям информации. Однако цифровым носителям информации не исполнилось и ста лет — а ведь до их появления люди тоже как-то справлялись с поиском нужной информации. Сегодня Антон Басов @antonbasov , исследователь истории науки и техники, автор Центра непрерывного образования факультета компьютерных наук ВШЭ , рассказывает, зачем в книгах нужны указатели, что такое конкорданс и как компьютер Univac изучал богословие.

En 1949 se les unió Grace Hopper y un año después se convirtió la empresa en una división de Remington Rand, la principal competencia de IBM en los 70s.

El 8 de diciembre de 1947 se constituye la Corporación Informática Eckert-Mauchly.

Tal vez no te suene, pero Presper Eckert y John Mauchly fueron los que idearon y construyeron la ENIAC ubicada en la U. de Pensilvania con la que tuvieron un desacuerdo y pelearon la patente de este con la universidad, la que ganaron.

Una vez fundada EMCC, construyeron la BINAC y el UNIVAC.

A vintage advertisement for the UNIVAC File-Computer by Remington Rand Univac, featuring a futuristic landscape with mountains and a glowing atomic symbol in the sky. The ad highlights the benefits of using the UNIVAC File-Computer for business operations, promising fast, accurate, and inexpensive answers to various business questions. The bottom section shows images of the UNIVAC File-Computer units and includes text promoting the automation of routine bookkeeping tasks

Crnkite y Collinwood, ocultaron la información y al aire Cronkite mencionó que usar un computador para predecir eventos era una perdida de tiempo y recursos

#retrocomputingmx #univac

El 4 de noviembre de 1952 la cadena de noticias CBS, usa por primera vez un computador UNIVAC-1 para predecir las elecciones presidenciales de 1952 en EEUU, entre Eisenhower y Stevenson.

El análisis del equipo predecía la victoria del primero, a lo que Walter Cronkite (presentador de TV) y Charles Collinwood dudaron de la precisión del equipo ya que las encuestas de salida, daban una victoria aplastante a Stevenson.

Computergeschichte: Wie #UNIVAC zum Star der US-Wahlnacht wurde
https://glm.io/190082

Here's a small collection of big iron. "Charly" has a couple of IBM machines: a 7094 and a System/360. There's a really hard to spot ICT 1301 panel in the "Doomwatch" episode "No Room for Error". Finally the "Blake's 7" episode "Space Fall" (for which we had already recorded an ICT 1301) also has panels from a Sperry Univac 9400 and, making its Starring-the-Computer debut, the Sperry UNIVAC 9200/9300.

If you can, please pitch in to help The Computer Museum in the small town of Camburzano, Italy.

They've got hold of a haul of ancient big iron in surprisingly good shape and they need funds to safeguard this rare machinery:

We are about to save an enormous quantity of extremely rare machines, some of which may be unique, dating back as far as 70 years.
Among the equipment to be saved are machines from both #IBM and #Remington #Rand for the creation and management of punch cards (one of the earliest methods of loading programs), huge #Sperry #Univac #mainframes complete with their tape units, disks, and printers, as well as the earliest #Olivetti systems. All the machines are in astonishingly good condition and perhaps, with good care, even functional.

Стримеры. Эволюция ленточных накопителей от каменного века до наших дней

Сейчас уже доподлинно неизвестно, кто именно первым догадался перетереть зерно в муку и испечь из нее хлеб, или взбить молоко, чтобы получить масло. Зато историки хорошо знают, кому пришло в голову нанести смесь растертого в порошок железа и клея на немагнитную основу для записи информации — это сделал в 1898 году датский инженер Вальдемар Поульсен. Он же изобрел звукозаписывающее устройство под названием «телеграфон», использовавшее вместо магнитной ленты проволоку.

1968 sales quote to Princeton for a #UNIVAC 1108. 131K words (36b) of core memory at $915K is about $0.20 per bit! They bought an IBM 360/91 instead. #ComputerHistory

The material which I draw upon for my purposes today has been gleaned over ten
years as a victim of outrageous hardware. I've run the gamut from part—user of
a 701 to manager of a $25 million—a—year installation. Today I have at least one
of almost everything that IBM ever invented. I suppose God has chosen to punish
me here on earth. For some reason He just can't wait. The consequent baptism
by fire puts me in an unequalled position to address you today on the subject of
Customer Engineering.

My last subtitle is what I think of the 360. This , of course, is really a speech
in its own right. I don't have time to give more than a brief summary here today.

Firstly, I think it is appropriate to state my reasons for choosing the 360 in the
first place. We chose it for its peripherals. Peripherals are the key to data processing, not main frames. I should point out here that I do not regard the 360 as
a computer, and for that reason, we do not use it as such. We do our computing,
our arithmetic that is , on the machine of another vendor. The 360 has a short
machine which makes it effectively even shorter
WOT d l eng th, it is a hexadecimal
and it does not have floating point round. You can say that the model 91 commits
round—off error faster than anything on the face of the earth, while the first lecture
in the introductory course of any Numerical Analysis Program states that this is
the fundamental problem of computation and the source of all evil. It is one of the
supreme mysteries of IBM, the omission of rounding in the 360. It would be less
of a mystery if IBM were to come right out and say that the 360 is intended for
data processing and not for computing.

45 years ago in 1978, this book started me on this inevitable path, only to witness where this path leads to: A.I., 45 years later. #Ateneo #AteneoDeManilaUniversity #Univac #BASIC #programming #donvy
