CHM Live | The Chinese Computer
[Recorded June 18th, 2024]
How can Chinese-a language with tens of thousands of characters and no alphabet-be input on a QWERTY keyboard with only a few dozen keys?
In his new book, The Chinese Computer, Stanford professor Thomas Mullaney dissects the history and evolution of Chinese language computing technology and explores the fascinating story of software programs that enable Chinese characters to be produced using alphanumeric symbols.
Join us for a fireside chat with Mullaney as he discusses:
-The profound impact this software had on the way Chinese is written.
-How these advances helped computers gain traction in Asian countries.
-The way culture informs computing and how computing, in turn, shapes culture.
We would like to thank the Bin Lin and Daisy Liu Family Foundation for their generous support of this program.

    if you pick one standard chinese lamguage instead of trying to support them all this is not a challenging problem technically it is as the interviewer suggests, entirely political as it is also in the west where all roman derived scripts are represented by a modified american standard english basand a handful of logic symbols. u use a mixed system of representation taking advantage of of phonological, morphological, syntactic and semantic markers as we do on our keyboards and everyone everywhere does on their keyboards the phenomenological experience you have that informs your impressions of what you are doing is nice to hear about, but bears little relation to what you are actually doing. i would suggest you base your understanding of english on facts and not on figments of your imagination and unexamined speculation this is simply not graduate level work. 67 years out of date. as of 2024.

    In the connection to the absurd Ones feelings are often strung Between where to use the right word And concepts which our brain is to clung. An American explorer Chanced upon an indigenous tribe His vocabulary being poorer his poem produced an unpleasant vibe. Shaving their Heads to appease Their contemporaneous deity They prayed in an effort to please A capricious almighty. There were those amongst them blessed To bring the high places down But they were indifferent to stress And children in their nightgown

    I was an ECCM tech, we were a small group charged with frontline data analysis and control at long range radar sites since extraneous data could overload the memory cores of the Q-7. We were also responsible for overseeing that the systems were functioning within established parameters such as alignment with a permanent echo, power output, system noise levels and frequency drift on klystron-based systems just to mention a few. We were also responsible for data transfers to BUIC sites when level 2 operation was ordered by the direction center.

    Would be interesting to compare the power/capability/versatility of the early ERA computers with the UNIVAC I (I think that became "UNIVAC 1103) ? Did UNIVAC 1108 take its heritage from the UNIVAC I ? Did the ERA computer eventually become (evolve to become) the first Burroughs computer ?

    At some point I think the ENIAC / UNIVAC people became concerned about using insulation on their miles and miles of connecting wiring that would tend to be distasteful or avoided by gnawing mice and rodents? (Modern car makers would do well to avoid using wiring apt to attract gnawing rodents) also lowering the filament heat and voltage for their vacuum tubes to the absolute minimum needed to operate the tubes in order to lower the rate of "burnouts" ? Series voltage drop for the heating filament power supply for the vacuum tubes heat or a central power supply step down transformer to supply each tube's filament in parallel with the other tube filaments?

    For a little contrast, I was a mainframe programmer, starting in '81, and IBM was pitching the idea that customers should buy enough hardware so that when a user (eg, me) hit enter (even entering the most trivial command), they would see some response "within one second." Compare that to what this machine is doing in a second. Oh, and yeah, the program itself is frankly amazing for 44 years ago.

    So did the Atanasov computer never function but rather was used as a court mechanism to deny the Eniac group (which later brought forth the Univac commercial electronic digital computers _ or at least one family of such computers - another line of smaller computers or calculators also became entitled "Univac" ?) credit for what they accomplished ? (Because one of the founders of that group, Dr. Mauchly, saw the Atanasov computer and got a sort of inspiration to build something that would actually work ?)
