  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Firstly, “bad lighting” is the term for high-key overall lighting such as in studio sitcoms and talk shows.

    Secondly, the lighting in this show is very good.

  • 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.
