Week 1: Noble Women

Day 2: Ada Lovelace, Countess of Lovelace

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Augusta Ada King, Countess Lovelace (1815-52), a skilled mathematician, was the daughter of Lord Byron and a friend and colleague of Charles Babbage: 'the father of computers'. In 1843, she published a translation from Italian of a 'sketch' of Babbage's analytical engine with her own notes. It suggested the 'engine' could do more than calculation; she described an operations sequence, the first computer program.

"Happy Ada Lovelace Day"

1815-1852

Founder of Computer Science

Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, also known as Ada Lovelace, was an English mathematician and writer chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. She was the first to recognize that the machine had applications beyond pure calculation.

Today marks the first day of British Science Week – a ten-day celebration of science, technology, engineering, and maths Meet Ada Lovelace – nicknamed ‘The Enchantress of Number’ by her peers, today Lovelace is better known as the world’s first computer programmer In 1843, Lovelace published a paper with an algorithm for an Analytical Engine – a proposed mechanical device like an early computer – to process a series of numbers.She was the first to recognise that the machine has applications beyond pure calculation, paving the way for future computer programmers.  After Alfred Edward Chalon (1780–1860), ‘Portrait of Ada, Countess of Lovelace’. Watercolour drawing, made around 1830–1852. Read more: http://ow.ly/c1vQ50N8e5p

DEAD POET’S SOCIETY

[sugoiney-weaver]

Contrary to popular belief, the sigils used in technomancy aren't actually that complex. Through generations of research, development, and refinement, we've been able to create systems that allow us to cant our intentions in almost-plain language (often English) using symbols that are already well-familiar to they laity, which then translate those intentions into their most basic datagrammical forms: 1s and 0s.

So the sigils themselves aren't actually complex compared to other schools of magic like summoning circles, hexes, and wards. They do of course require a greater investment in equipment than your basic components like iron, chalk, salt, herbs, etc. But all the hard work has already been done by technomancers of the past, from The Right Honorable Countess Ada Lovelace; to Alan Turing, Officer of the British Empire, and more modern wizards like Linus Torvalds and William Gates.

As a matter of course, we must raise the barrier of entry to this most dangerous discipline, so these wizards have created several layers between the basic binary sigils and the plain language that we deliver to The Machine. Some say that we should make these languages easier to learn and teach, while others say that it feels really cool to know things that other people don't

Excerpt from “Scientific American”, June 4, 2024, Article “The 180-Year-Old Endnotes That Foretold the Future of Computation”:

Many fields of science can point to a foundational document: Isaac Newton’s Principia for the physics of classical mechanics or Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species for evolutionary biology. But only computer science can claim its foundational document hides in the endnotes.

Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, better known as Ada Lovelace, was commissioned in 1842 to translate a paper about the world’s first general-purpose computer. She appended her own annotations, which ran three times longer than the original article and completely eclipsed it in terms of technical meat and philosophical insights. With impressive foresight, they established her as the first person to envision the universal capabilities of computers that we take for granted today.

Ada - 8/3/2023

The two hundred and fifty third friend. A cog in honour by Ada Lovelace. She was born in England in 1815, though her parents separated shortly after she was born and her father left the country forever. She was horribly ill for most of her childhood and could barely walk for a long time. She was privately educated when she was young. She then educated herself with help from the professor of mathematics at the University of London. She was introduced to Charles Babbage in 1833 and became interested on his work. In 1835, she married William King She translated and annotated an article by an Italian mathematician and engineer in the early 1840s. These annotations contain what is considered to be the first computer program, though some say Babbage's notes contained earlier examples. Her and Babbage built a machine called the Analytical Engine, a machine which is considered to be the first computer, and the majority of it was built by Ada herself. In 1852, she died of cancer, though she is still remembered for her contributions to computing. An early programming language was named after her and the second Tuesday in October is now celebrated in her honour.

Here is a link to the article I got most of my information on her from, in case anyone wants to do any further reading.
