  • Leaked emails link NHS data privatiser Palantir to Jeffrey Epstein

  • NHS England has tens of millions of patients. Most patient records are undigitised and must be couriered when patients move to a new area or when specialist care is required.

    It’s also a huge, publicly funded service so big data can be crunched to improve outcomes and efficiencies.

    Palantir wanted a big system to use as the testbed for its move into healthcare data systems and offered a low bid.

  • I never said he didn’t crack codes in the war. I said he didn’t use computers to crack codes.

    Bombes aren’t considered computers. They were electro-mechanical machines that didn’t perform calculations. A bombe was basically a replica of 39 enigma machines wired together, and it was used to narrow down the range of possible initial enigma rotor positions, to aid the manual codebreakers in their work.

    Turing’s Bombes were a refinement of Marian Rejewski‘a bomba machines, which Poland shared with the Allies in 1939.

  • Hawking left his wife for his much younger nurse. Then, 20 years later, he left her for another much younger nurse. Proving that not only does nature abhor a vacuum, but that some people are only happy when someone else is doing the sucking.

  • He had a good sense of humour when it was about how great he was. A bit of a notorious asshole in other regards.

  • Are there any bots that we can use to mirror posts from subreddits?

  • Botslop is performative. Few would care to “join in”

  • It exists and some Lemmy communities operate that way. It’s not a good idea at all in practice. For example one community mirrors a tech support subreddit. It’s utterly pointless engaging in that community because the person asking the question will never read your answers. You can’t bootstrap a sense of community.

  • This is a bad, stupid, reckless, destructive and dangerous idea. We don’t need more echo chambers radicalising people to one pole or other.

    What do you think is the holy grail of unreleased movies or tv series or something thats still "in the vault"?

    Jump

  • The holy grail would surely be a fully-remastered Citizen Kane. Unfortunately some idiot executive accidentally sent the negative for recycling in the 80s/90s.

  • Turing improved upon the electromechanical Polish bombe machine and used that for cryptanalysis during the war. Bombes weren’t computers. His war work is often confused with the Colossus computers built by Tommy Flowers also at Bletchley Park, which built on some Turing theory, but with which Turing was not involved.

    Jump

  • Turing cracked codes using a Bombe, which is a machine invented by the Polish and is not a computer. His main work in computing came after the war, joining the pre-existing programme at Manchester where he wrote an early program. His achievements are many, and it isn’t necessary to attribute to him ones that were others, or to do him the disservice of misattribution because he happens to be a “celebrity”.

    The computing work at Bletchley Park consisted of the Colossus machines, built by Tommy Flowers to crack communications between the German High Command, while Turing was on a separate programme using improved bombes to decrypt Enigma.

  • Turing did not invent computers, nor did he use them to crack codes during the war. That movie was correct that World War II occurred, and that Turing was alive at the same time and somehow contributed, but otherwise is pure fantasy.
