Flowers's team at Dollis Hill built the first machine in eleven months. It was immediately dubbed 'Colossus' by the Bletchley Park staff for its immense proportions.
Flowers was left in debt after the war after using his own personal funds to build Colossus.
It was not until the 1970s that Flowers' work in computing was fully acknowledged. His family had known only that he had done some 'secret and important' work.
I see an LLM as my good-but-not-perfect assistant, there to code up boring bits "loop thru this data and extract...", "improve this bit of code please", and to help with errors "why does this code give that error".
I never let it do big slabs of code, and always run and check its code incrementally.
It is my code and the LLM just makes it easier to do. Thanks LLM.
Thanks! Some good things in the list, many with >95% availability.
