Turing used a computer? Surely that would just have been for the regular decoding rather than breaking new codes?
@karlbassett8485 Жыл бұрын
@@jonatanrullman The computer Tommy Flowers built was the first modern proper electronic computer. But it was used to decode the later Lorenz codes, not the earlier Enigma codes. Those were decoded using what they called "bombes" that were electro-mechanical devices that essentially tried millions of possibilities until they found one that worked. So the Enigma code was broken by people like Turing, and first by a Polish team, but still involved a lot of time to work out the new code every day, in in war if you decoded a message a week later it would be useless. The bombes meant they could decode messages within hours. A fun fact is that the first commercial company in the world to own a computer, and also to use it to run their business (doing stock control, accounting etc) was a British bakery and tea shop chain called Lyons Tea Shops. Incredibly they effectively designed and built it themselves, and would let universities use it at night for research. They then started making them and selling them to other businesses and called it LEO, Lyons Electronic Office. That became part of ILC which is now owned by Fujitsu.

Churchill said: "Last night?!" "Yes" came the reply. "Very cold last night, wasn't it?" Responded Churchill. "Yes, Prime Minister, I believe it was one of the coldest February nights for thirty years". Churchill replied: "Makes ya proud to be British!!".

hesky10 - youtube algorithm is real touchy with those sorta things. I don’t have personal experience with this sorta thing, but if memory serves, I think it has to do with their advertisers and how it works. So like, you might get a Pepsi commercial for example, but Pepsi might not want their brand associated with certain kinds of “adult content” or something, and they tell youtube their stipulations for advertising on their platform, but since youtube ads are targeted/algorithm based, they don’t have have truly discrete control over every ad that every person sees or when they see it, so they expect channels to “police themselves” and will potentially demonetize videos if they find out that they’re doing things advertisers don’t want them to do. There was a push a few years back that some KZbinrs I follow had addressed, where ever creator got an email and were pretty much told to stop swearing or risk demonetization, essentially. Many stopped, many others just went to the patreon model so that they could make whatever content they wanted 🤷🏻♂️
