Watercolour portrait of Ada King, Countess of Lovelace also known as Ada Lovelace, ca. 1840, possibly by Alfred Edward Chalon.

Ada Lovelace, is celebrated as the first computer programmer. In the early 19th century, she wrote detailed notes on Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine, a pioneering mechanical computer.

Among these notes was an algorithm designed to compute Bernoulli numbers, which is recognized as the first published computer program. At a time when computing was an uncharted territory, Lovelace envisioned the potential of machines to perform complex tasks beyond basic arithmetic.

Her foresight and contributions laid the groundwork for modern computer science.

She was also the daughter of the poet Lord Byron.

okay another ada lovelace with some small redesigns again lol

Augusta Ada King, Countess Lovelace (1815-52), a skilled mathematician, was the daughter of Lord Byron and a friend and colleague of Charles Babbage: 'the father of computers'. In 1843, she published a translation from Italian of a 'sketch' of Babbage's analytical engine with her own notes. It suggested the 'engine' could do more than calculation; she described an operations sequence, the first computer program.

This reminds me of a quote by Ada Lovelace (later referred to as "Lady Lovelace's Objection" by Alan Turing), from her famous notes regarding Charles Babbage's analytical engine, published in 1843:

"The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform. It can follow analysis; but it has no power of anticipating any analytical relations or truths. Its province is to assist us in making available what we are already acquainted with."

I went to a library book sale this weekend and I found a very old book called “Electronic Life: How to Think About Computers,” which was published in I think 1975? I’ve been reading it kind of like how I would read a historical document, and it’s lowkey fascinating

I’m a Savage

Professor Charles Babbage

Designed a machine just for mathin’

Asked Ada Lovelace what’s happenin’

Remember, girls have been programming and writing algorithms way before it was cool!

Poverty, poverty knock / Keeping one eye on the clock / I know I can guttle, when I hear my shuttle / Go poverty, poverty knock...

...so I read @nothwell's novel 'mr warren's profession' at approximately light speed the other day and felt like drawing some of the cast.

How To Learn Math for Machine Learning FAST (Even With Zero Math Background)

I dropped out of high school and managed to became an Applied Scientist at Amazon by self-learning math (and other ML skills). In this video I'll show you exactly how I did it, sharing the resources and study techniques that worked for me, along with practical advice on what math you actually need (and don't need) to break into machine learning and data science.

For ever tetro character I have deep insightful thoughts and analysis and headcanons but then every time I look at harada keizou all that's in my brain is barking noises. I need to put him in my mouth like a chewtoy and whip my head around violently. Something about him is catnip and I don't know what but I need to rip him apart with my teeth. I don't have anything interesting to say about his character or the tragedy of his story all I have is the overwhelming desire to do unspeakable things to him.

mostly really enjoying this book HOWEVER by necessity it keeps coming back to talking about Charles Babbage and every time it talks about Charles Babbage it does a fancy little tap dance around even MENTIONING Ada Lovelace and it's genuinely so crazy. Like fully talking about Alan Turing and Turing machines now and Babbage Mentioned but no Lovelace!! I am about to steal some shit out of your house!!!!!!

just had to sit through the most infuriating business-school-ass presentation. One slide was literally a rewording of the "hard work + idea = profit" chart meme, the slide after that was the same thing but with slightly more detail to the graph.

Being a girl w a genuinely drop-dead gorgeous mom can be so psychically damaging bc why does my mom have honey-brown eyes and warm blonde hair and glowing porcelain skin and full lips and a naturally slender figure ??? And when I was a little girl I legit thought she was a model bc she’s so pretty????? She has instilled me w a lot of self-confidence about my looks so like it’s fine but still!!! It is hard not to compare yourself when ur mother is beautiful without even trying
