Wolfgang Stief<p>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: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_area_information_server" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_are</span><span class="invisible">a_information_server</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vintagecomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vintagecomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/techhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>techhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wais" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wais</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/thinkingmachines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>thinkingmachines</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/connectionmachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>connectionmachine</span></a></p>

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.”</p><p><a href="https://federate.social/tags/computerhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>computerhistory</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/computerarchitecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>computerarchitecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/@simon_brooke/112354279945181945" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mastodon.scot/@simon_brooke/11</span><span class="invisible">2354279945181945</span></a></p>
