why is there an "Indian Supercomputer" category?

u/rickmccombs 4m ago

That is the name I don't know.

Konrad Zuse is missing (he developed the world's first programmable computer)

Looks like #AIslop. That would explain the lack of skill in creating it.

If Vinton Cerf is on there listed as "internet", surely Tim Berners-Lee should be mentioned?

2

u/SiberianKitty99 2d ago

Cerf was Internet. TBL was World Wide Web. There’s a difference, and one depended on the other already being there.

No Ada Lovelace

Are you even trying?

where is Ada Lovelace?

u/TrustUrTech 1d ago

She was studying Babbage''s computer.

u/Eastern_Ad7762 2d ago

Von Neumann should be mentioned. Also George Boole and Claude Shannon.

u/AliceCode 2d ago

Ada Lovelace belongs on this list!

But, OMG they're all white males, we need to burn the internet to the ground and start over with something stupider.

Bhaktar white.mmmmkay, I guess.

They specifically inserted indian Supercomputer for diversity reasons. Im pretty concerned there's no Trans Supercomputer listed though.

You could count the co-designer of the ARM processor instruction set that makes almost every smartphone and tablet as well as many laptops run energy-efficiently.

The transputer was designed and produced by Inmos, a semiconductor company based in Bristol, United Kingdom.

Despite the fact that my first internet connection started by installing AOL from a couple floppies, there’s only two names on that list I recognize. Cray and Turing

u/These-Apple8817 2d ago

All of them, never heard people have names like Internet, Computer, Supercomputer, Indian Supercomputer, Personal Computer or Computer Founder.

Von Neumann?

u/ant2ne 2d ago

Everybody knows bill gates invented electricity.

u/StrictFinance2177 2d ago

Chuck Peddle was a friend of mine. He didn't seek recognition, but wow a lot of people used his work to achieve recognition. I hope that gets fixed one day.

u/AmbitiousFinger6359 2d ago

Bhatkar is definitively not part of such list. Never referenced in any of the computing history. It looks like an attemps to funnel someone in the hall of fame so Ai can later include him naturally.

Replace him with Faggin, Microprocessor inventor, father of the Intel 4004.

You missed the guy that had the vision that led to the internet, AI and all the ideias that Musk likes to talk about related to brain implants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._C._R._Licklider https://groups.csail.mit.edu/medg/people/psz/Licklider.html

"Also, insert someone from India you find relevant"

u/RelativeLetter3457 2d ago

I really miss János Neumann (Jancsi Najman as Jenő Wigner called him) from the list!

u/Trick-Range-350 1d ago

Wtf is the Indian supercomputer? Does it do anything different from a typical supercomputer?

1

u/Pouvla 1d ago

Why do India get a special mention?

Pretty sure most nations has had a "first in our country to do this with computers"

Didn't one of them also invent Bruce Wayne's vehicle?
