Some of you probably remember WAIS. An Internet search engine from the Gopher era (more specific: a search protocol). TIL: Thinking Machines (those with the massive red blinkenlights servers) were the main driver and developer of WAIS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_area_information_server #vintagecomputing #techhistory #wais #thinkingmachines #connectionmachine

Old CM Fortran Code

I realised that I still had some old CM Fortran exercice on my hard-drive. If the file-system dates are to be believed, the file was last touched on July the 10th 1996. CM Fortran was a special dia…

Great #ConnectionMachine + #Feynman story!

“By the end of that summer of 1983, Richard had completed his analysis of the behavior of the router, and much to our surprise and amusement, he presented his answer in the form of a set of partial differential equations. To a physicist this may seem natural, but to a computer designer, treating a set of boolean circuits as a continuous, differentiable system is a bit strange.”

@wakame@tech.lgbt While thinking about the Connection Machine -- which is for me one of the most inspirational designs in the history of computing -- let me share this wonderful story about Richard Feynman's involvement in the project. #Lisp #LispMachine #MassivelyParallel https://longnow.org/essays/richard-feynman-connection-machine/

Check out the 1:10 scale Connection Machine complete with BlinkenLights by @trevorflowers posted over at HackADay. It’s very cool.

1:10 scale Connection Machine

In the 90s some smartypants made an awesome machine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connection_Machine So, I made a small one. Inside is an Adafruit QT Py that drives (via a IS31FL3731 board) four 9x16 charlieplexed LED matrices. The source code is here: https://codeberg.org/trevorflowers/tiny-connection-machine If you'd like your own then visit my Gumroad store: https://store.transmutable.com/

Yes, it’s just a big black box. But hey! The first CM-1 I see in my life which is not on a picture but very real in front of me. #thinkingmachines #connectionmachine #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #computerhistory #chm
