Sous l’œil (très) attentif de #Babbage on attaque la grande épreuve : la mise en caisse 😅
Direction Tech Inn Vitré avec Makeme : câbles, boîtiers, bazar organisé (oui oui), et surtout… contrôle qualité par peluche diplômée.
Désolé Babbage, mais ton copain #MaxiLego fera le voyage bien sagement en caisse.
On l’a vu rôder près du papier-bulle… c’était louche. 🧰🐻🧱
On two occasions I have been asked, — "Pray, Mr. #Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
Passages from the Life of a Philosopher (1864), ch. 5 "#DifferenceEngine No. 1"
One great thing about getting older, is that stupid and unlikely things seem to keep coming true!
For example:
"On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."
...and I think with AI, we've reached a similar level of confusion.
