Lore in the Machine is live! Four podcast episodes are up. Ep1 asks why programmers say 'foo'. The answer involves a very strange comic strip from the 1930s, a WWII radar operator, and more model trains than you'd expect. New episodes every other week https://loreinthemachine.com/ #computing #history #techhistory
Lore in the Machine

Stories from Beyond the Screen. A podcast about the hidden histories and surprising origins woven into computing culture, hosted by Daina Bouquin.

Devs type "foo" but few know it comes from a 1930s comic strip. I've been collecting stories like this for ages without knowing what to do with them. So I made a show. Lore in the Machine tells the strange stories behind the tools we use every day. Trailer is up. Hope you enjoy: https://loreinthemachine.com/

What's a parameter? I'm glad you asked! LLM file names are weird and long but now they're less cryptic www.youtube.com/shorts/WzCom...
