    Thank you for showing us Lovelace's actual paper and walking us through it. I've heard people talk about the paper and what is (or isn't) in it, but never read the original because I assumed it'd be impossible to decipher. You made it much easier to follow! Thank you :)!

    • @websnarf
      @websnarf 4 года назад +19

      Her paper is in plain English. If you want to read, go read it. It has technical parts to it, but you can just skip over that to the other parts. Tibees is correct -- she had an estimation for what computer science was to become. Something even Babbage did not forsee; Babbage was mostly just concerned with using the device just for doing mathematics.

      ​@@websnarf the fact u think that things can be skipped over in a body of work and still get the full effect is quite silly.

      It all comes down to teachers with passion
      I watch these videos and vsauce, mathologer, numberphile, etc. And when I share that knowledge with the teachers, they think its "extra" and wastes time as it isn't in the syllabus, and even the other students in my class doesn't want extra knowledge as it isn't in the syllabus, all of them have a fixed mindset.
      There are very few teachers tho who appreciate these things and motivate me to share more.
      Its the maturity and mindset which holds back my classmates and later they will realize this, just like you.

    Ada and her Father Lord Byron (once said to be "Mad, bad and dangerous to know") were fascinating characters. Their home (or one of), Newstead Abbey is less than 6 miles from my house and has some lovely Japanese water gardens! Ada is buried nearby at St Mary Magdalene Church, Hucknall (Notts, UK). The Abbey is worth a visit if you're in the area, with Sherwood Forest nearby. Brilliant to have such history on the doorstep. Great video again.

    Superb look at the work of Ada, thank you! As an engineer who has written a fair amount of software, and with the family myth of a connection to Byron (most likely false, but it fascinated me during my early years), I have been fascinated by Ada’s story. I just didn’t know the detail of her work. Your video clearly shows that she anticipated the vast scope of possibilities for mechanistic algorithms, far beyond mere calculation, and foresaw the possibilities that the science of computing could bring. I really appreciate this insight Tibee, thank you so much!

    As a software developer, I've always been a huge fan of Ada. Until now, though, I've only seen that final Bernoulli algorithm, never read her notes on the full paper. The way she saw the potential of computers... her descriptions and understanding of how it all worked... the parallels between her descriptions and modern day computers... some may consider it overestimation, but I do consider her a genius, and I wish I could travel back through time just to thank her in person for her contributions.

    Thank you a lot! I always wanted to see the programs Ada wrote, but I never had time to do it. Her program for Bernoulli numbers indeed had all features of the modern programs, albeit of the lower-level ones, of course. An important piece missing is peripheral devices as the jacquard cards input was seemingly for the code only. Had Babbage built his machine, they certainly would add a punching device long before Herman Hollerith was born. Basically it is just one step away from how computers with perforated tape operated. I wonder, what if Babbage offered his project to the Admiralty for calculation of the artillery range tables...

    As an amateur astronomer I am enthralled with the advancements to the science by such women as Annie Jump Cannon, Cecilia Payne, and Henrietta Leavitt and more. I often bring up their contributions during my talks as a docent at DMNS. The movie Hidden Figures also is an inspiration for me and I talk to our visitors who often express familiarity with these wonderful women. That being said this presentation of Ada Lovelace, I find totally fascinating. Thank you for your research and presentation of the work of this remarkable woman.

    Ada Lovelace was the first computer programmer in the world. She wrote the first machine algorithm for an early computing machine. She was not credited for her amazing work. Tibees is doing a tremendous work in helping to spread the word about the work of this unique expert. By the way, Your dress is amazing and illustrates the subject of the video. Your teaching style is unique.

      7:30 it is pointed out in this video that this is not true. Lovelace was a remarkable visionary but definitely not the first computer programmer. In fact, in Babbage had written plenty of programs himself before and even helped Lovelace with the math. But Lovelace was a visionary in that she could see computers helping with things like music and not just math

    The table looks remarkably like a listing of a modern assembly-language program: for each operation we have the instruction and the operands, which could be thought of as registers or memory locations, then comments explaining what the instruction is doing. One thing that is different is that there aren't explicit control or load/store operations in the listing--all that gets absorbed into the listing of operands and the cycle notation. It's not 100% clear how that would be expressed in the physical operation of the machine, but maybe the rest of the paper makes that clear.

    Babbage saw logarithms, Ada our present world, thats the difference. Her program is more than the instruction lists of Babbage, who of course must have had an idea of the programming of his engine. She, however, saw the full potential of programmable engines, and demonstrated at least a feature that really makes the difference between calculator and Jacquard machine on the one hand side and the computer on the other: the loop depending on a counter variable. Thus her program aas not the first program for a calculator but the first computer program.

    It's pretty amazing how we went from huge gears in the 1800s to Turing's codebreaking machine a hundred years later, and then a few decades after that those "gears" are only a few nanometres in size.
    And now we're carrying billions of them around in our pocket and using them to remind us to buy milk in the shop, and to watch cats doing cute stuff.

    That analytical machine looked like the container used by the Spacing Guild in Dune. I wonder if they were both driven by steam?
