Recordando cosas que hice en 4\u00ba o 5\u00ba de carrera en la FIB: pr\u00e1cticas con la Connection Machine 2 de Thinking machines. Se trataba de un supercomputador con miles de procesadores conectados entre ellos, con aspecto muy mol\u00f3n (miles de lucecitas rojas que se encend\u00edan y apagaban supuestamente “cada vez que se usaba un procesador”, yo creo que era aleatorio), y que se programaba o en LISP o en una cosa que juro recordar se llamaba “C sharp” y que era un dialecto de C (ni idea si est\u00e9 relacionado con el actual).<\/p>\n
Algunas lecturas interesantes al respecto:<\/p>\n
El tiempo que pas\u00f3 Richard Feynman en esa empresa: http:\/\/longnow.org\/essays\/richard-feynman-and-connection-machine\/<\/p>\n
Por qu\u00e9 se hundi\u00f3 Thinking Machines o lo malas que son las subvenciones http:\/\/www.inc.com\/magazine\/19950915\/2622.html<\/p>\n
Todo ello a ra\u00edz de la presentaci\u00f3n de Bret Victor titulada “The Future of Programming” https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8pTEmbeENF4 en la que se nos cae la cara de verg\u00fcenza sobre el estado actual de la inform\u00e1tica, tanto como ciencia como tecnolog\u00eda.<\/p>\n
[El \u00fanico consuelo que me queda tras verlo es pensar que lo mejor y con diferencia que naci\u00f3 en este campo fue en los a\u00f1os 60 y principios de los 70, y simplemente cosific\u00e1ndome me autoincluyo en ese grupo de innovaci\u00f3n y excelencia]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
