I've been reading a wee bit about early computer programming, and "Grace Hopper" keeps coming up. I've read brief biographies over the years that didn't really go into the work she actually did. I now get just how important she was in bringing human readable code into computing.

#UK's #IsambardAI, an #HPE #Cray #EX4000 with 5,448 NVIDIA #GH200 #GraceHopper Superchips, powers up as government goes #AI crazy
Brace yourselves #Britain, PM #KeirStarmer's challenged his teams: "set the challenge to all of my teams: show me how they can use AI - not just in the output of government, not just in partnership with yourselves and others in the delivery of services - but also in the very way we do government. How can we transform what we do?"

The Coding Language Caught in DOGE's Crosshairs

@clive speaks to Brooke Gladstone about #COBOL and manages to touch upon the gendered roles of coding and tag #GraceHopper and #FlowMatic on his way to explaining why “modernizing” old code on this scale cannot be done in a few months, why old code works well, and why #AI won’t necessarily help them do it well. #OnTheMedia

Modern #TechStack|s are convenient but they also make #developers lazy and result in the #enfattening of #Software and #Games.

Nowadays we have shitty #WebApps that eat up 100+MB just for a #WebView and which are instantly useless once they don't have a high-speed, low latency internet connection!

  • People like #GraceHopper and #MargaretHamilton propably wouldn't even be mad, but just disappointed, knowing how a modern #IDE eats more computing power than the entire human race had at their career peaks...

And don't even get me started on all the #WastefulComputing aka. "#AI" #bs and #Shitcoin - #Scams!

Years ago, when I was studying for my #COBOL cert, I attended a lunch where Rear Admiral #GraceHopper spoke. I lost my souvenir nanosecond in one of my moves, but I remember the lightbulb moment when she said picoseconds were the size of ground pepper bits.

I'm having a get-off-my-lawn moment. Storage wasn't cheap. It mattered *how* you did things because you were constrained by RAM, and execution time, too.

I'm afraid to look for Hopper on any official website because I don't want to see a 404-compliant page.
