GPS pioneer and mathematician Gladys West has died. She was 95. Her calculations helped produce extremely accurate modeling of the Earth's shape, laying the foundation for modern global positioning system technology. West was born in rural Virginia during segregation. In 1956, she was hired as a computer programmer at a Navy base in Virginia, where she was one of only four Black employees. Her work went largely unrecognized for years, though she was later acknowledged as one of the hidden figures of the era. Despite being considered the mother of GPS, West said she still preferred using a paper map when driving.

Ilya Sutskever predicts that in the coming years—whether it’s three, five, or ten—AI will be able to do everything humans can do. He argues that since the brain is a biological computer, a digital computer should, in theory, be capable of learning and performing all the same tasks. This belief underpins his confidence in the arrival of truly general AI.

🇬🇧 He called her the Enchantress of Number. 🧮 In 1843 a British woman wrote the world’s first computer programme. For a computer that didn’t exist yet. 💻 Her name was Ada Lovelace. Her father was Lord Byron. Her mother feared she would inherit his madness so she was taught mathematics instead. 📐 In 1833 she met Charles Babbage. He was building a machine that could calculate. Everyone else saw a calculator. Ada saw something a century ahead of its time. That a machine could process not just numbers but anything expressed as symbols. Music. Language. Logic. Everything. ⚙️ She translated a French article about his engine into English. Then added her own notes. Three times as long as the original. ✍️ Note G. The world’s first computer programme. Written in 1843. For a machine that would not be built for another hundred years. 📜 Published under her initials only. A.A.L. Because she was a woman in 1843 and her name was not permitted on the page. 🔏 The computer was finally built a century later. Alan Turing referenced her work in his 1950 computing paper. The US Department of Defense named a programming language after her. 🖥️ Every computer programme ever written traces back to a note written by a British woman in a Victorian study by candlelight. 🕯️🇬🇧 Did they teach you her name?

Jensen Huang at GTC: "I expect data center build out to reach a trillion dollars, and I am fairly certain we're going to reach that very soon." "General purpose computing has run its course, and that we need a new computing approach." "In the past we wrote the software and we ran it on computers. In the future, the computer is going to generate the tokens for the software." "The computer has become a generator of tokens, not a retrieval of files."
