Goes back to those who use the product and those who don't. Those who use calculators understand what is needed.

it's crazy think that this man is 80 years old

"It felt nice having solved an impossible problem." I love it when CS gurus make me laugh out loud.

u didnt interview him in a bakery? it would have been fitting to interview in a bakery with several croissants on the table

I have learned much indeed over the decades from your: "The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 2: Seminumerical Algorithms." Thank you, sir. --

SO a latin square problem where you have x number of 1's and y number of 2's each row and column. If it's just 1's and 2's can it be reduced to 2 sat. I'd love to know surely it's quicker to solve than one with more variety of numbers. if you can solve 2 different number latin squares of any size in p time then I know how that could be useful for gaining clues to latin squares using many more numbers.

Very entertaining and insightful interview. Adleman is a great story teller!

Hero.

Thank you for your amazing contributions! My first HP calculator was the HP-45, pretty early model, followed by several work calculators. They were and still are a reliable point in life.

My first HP calculator was the HP41C. It cost me more than $400 in 1981, but it was worth every penny. In 2024 dollars, it would be equivalent to around $1,500 today.

I have both a 28C and a 28S calculator and despite their age, they are far superior to anything I've seen since. The only negative is the poor screen, which is sometimes difficult to read. Once you get used to PRN it's so easy and reliable - no more guesswork as to whether to enter √2 or 2√ like on other calculators.

I've had an HP-55, HP-67, and HP-41c. I've got an emulator for the 48/49 series as well as the Prime on my phone now. The one thing I miss is the tactile feeling of the solid click of the HP keyboards. It's probably because I started working with computers very early on that RPN appealed to me so much. I've always been able to think in better in those terms than relying on how the calculator is programmed to interpret algebraic notation. It's great hearing the thoughts of the people involved in creating and programming of these calculators.

It doesn't seem to matter how smart or dumb someone is, the magical thinking of determinism grips their psyche like a leach and won't let go.

_yawn_ I'm sure the guy (as well as many others in computer science) had their hay day back in the day and deserve respect for it, but everyone's trying to be guru legend nowadays. It's so tiring. Current day social media markets egging it on.

"I look at mutual exclusion not as a programming problem, not as a mathematical problem, but a physics problem."

"C++ the worst disease ever created" - ha ha ha

How much confusion there is out there about this principle.

2024 👌🏻

But we can use zero knowldge to have a decision of the correctness of a proof, a correct proof is a proof that we can use her same parameters to have an other decision for similar problems. we assume that the axiom system are correct.

Is tricky, we can't proof axioms. So All proofs are zero knowldge.

A hero. ❤

This guy (asymmetrical eyebrows) is more realistic person in "AI". 🤭

Cool. 😊

"Security is the science of minimizing Trust." Bingo.

The killer Lilith was a cool computer. Pretty simple and clean.

Recalling the days I walked into my University bookshop and excitedly handed over my money to pick up a HP 33c then a couple of years later to pick up a HP 15c, were some of the most etched memories in my life!

Pure astonishment.

R.I.P my HERO 😢

The 41-CV was what the rich kids flourished when I started university - only two in my year had them. Over 40 years later, still nothing can touch those HP calculators: I use my 48GX every day, and run Droid48 on my phone and Emu48 on all my computers.

Mr. Kahan also worked on the FPU ? Wow ! I love his Kahan summation algorithm and its many variants so much.

These interviews are priceless pieces of history. Thank you for preserving them for future generations.

3:04 You see books from the 1970s ... almost everything looked atrocious in those days. - so true!

Finally! I understand. Thank you for sharing this video!

Wow so this is God ? First time I see him.

This gives me goosebumps! One of the greatest discoeries with very large scale adoption. One had decency to value the other collegue so he added him. The other one had the decency to question it. 🥲

Mr. Postgres! We use your product extensively at work.

Wow.

C/C++ really is something that should be left behind - regardless of whether modern languages are marketed more or liked more. The reason is that they are still stuck in the 1970s - they don't abstract more than a Macro Assembler would. C/C++ language are low-level languages, very close to the hardware. The problem is, they are used for low-level things, but also for things that we abstracted from in the 1970s. Largely, the American software industry is to blame for this grandfather regression and the corporate pushes for languages that are never finished, playing some silly game of dominance, rather than trying to make a great language. In the rest of the world, a software engineer has a greater chance of picking the right tool for the job, and leave a codebase that doesn't fail, crash, or won't even compile a few months later without incessant, frail, updates.

RIP hero. <3 Great story on the need for very small implementations. During the 1970s timeshares and later microcomputers changed the needs of computer languages. They had to fit in only 4 or 8K RAM, and before 1975 even BASIC was split into two parts, a translator bytecode that would then free the memory used by the translator and available to the BASIC program. It's nice to know, and sort of expected, that Pascal was there to compete. I've had a life-long love for the Pascal language family, which started with Turbo Pascal and Compis Pascal (Compis was a national college computer in Sweden). I've since had two consecutive careers writing serious applications in Delphi (industry and backend data processing), and now enjoy FreePascal from time to time. I betcha my old applications are still running, and haven't crashed once. That's a testament to the design of these languages.

This guy will ruin my CS studies

I wonder wether Don's wife calls the book "TAOCP".

Beautiful idea, Maam.. This principle is very important to understand

RIP Sir
