Applied mathematics has met the machine before
An applied mathematician says AI won't kill math jobs any more than ENIAC did — the field just moves up a level, again.

第12話 #二十世紀電氣目録 #sparks_of_tomorrow
第六話で電氣三味線の音をどうやって増幅してるのかと思ったが
真空管はあったんだね。
100万本の真空管。
ENIAC は 17468本 なので桁違い(ただ真空管以外の部品も大量にある)。
だが人間の脳に見せるような働きをさせるには到底足りないだろうね
(今日の GPU のトランジスタ数など 2000億を超えているものもある)。
蒸気とどうとか言ってたが単に演算能力がまるで不足してるんじゃない。
電氣頭脳とは、ノイマン型なのか否か。
ソフトウェアの話は出て来なかった。
一方の電氣錦。書き付けとは、レシピみたいなものか。

ENIAC weighed 30 tons, ran on about 18,000 tubes, did 5,000 additions a second. Six women programmed it from wiring diagrams alone. Most accounts named only the engineers, for 40 years.

Pi Day History: How Computing Pi Became a Benchmark
Pi has been approximated for about 3,600 years. Archimedes bounded it with polygons around 250 BC, Aryabhata gave 3. See how it unfolded, 1400–2025, milestone by milestone — the complete pi day history, including computing pi and pi world record. From Archimedes and Aryabhata to ENIAC, y-cruncher and the 314 trillion digit record: how computing pi became a test of computers, era by era. Explore the full timeline.

2/ My point is that applied mathematics has met the machine before. Until the 1950s, "computer" was a job title. The first programmers of ENIAC came from the human computers, and our discipline moved up from arithmetic to designing algorithms. The crisis was a promotion.

The historical split flared up around ENIAC as a stored-program computer. Several people noted it only ran that way after a post-war rebuild, reopening the old fight over von Neumann getting credit for ideas Eckert and Mauchly had already designed. #tech 3/4

Asking if ENIAC had a BIOS is applying modern software layers to physical wire and rotary dials. The thread leaned heavily into how early machines actually woke up: pure mechanical hardware toggling, long before ROM existed. #hardware 1/4
