Добавлен 9 июл 2014
The ACM A.M. Turing Award, often referred to as the “Nobel Prize of Computing,” carries a $1 million prize, with financial support provided by Google, Inc. It is named for Alan M. Turing, the British mathematician who articulated the mathematical foundation and limits of computing. Since its inception in 1966, the Turing Award has honored the computer scientists and engineers who created the systems and underlying theoretical foundations that have propelled the information technology industry.

I really like this man's energy. I think framing it as 'minimizing trust' is just not so appealing to the ear, one might call it 'minimizing uncertainty' both mean the same thing, using encryption to secure communications.
What could we do without the Jews? There is always one that makes the difference! Abraham was the first one. Hundreds followed. And they are only 0.015% of the world population holding almost 1/3 of the Nobel prizes.
this geek did it for the money. science has been bought and paid for. lmao he should pay
I appreciate his attention to detail.
I would like a longer tape, or the whole tape, without sudden interruptions at the end. 😢

cool
Thank you Mr. Aho, I use awk all the time, because it is quickie.
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.
Thanks for the insight. I didn't know about the Latin square problem.
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.

How much confusion there is out there about this principle.

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.
You are making no sense!
You don't understand. Or just for the community image.
You can search. What Axioms means and If we can proof them. If you want to learn.
@@aymantimjicht173 This has nothing to do with axioms. Search for ”zero knowledge proof”. Alsow what community image?
@@aymantimjicht173 Read from wikipedia what zero knowledge proof means. It has nothing to do with axioms.
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!
Nul. C'est du podcast, pas de la vidéo
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. 🥲
