It was somebody in the early 80s predicting ( inadvertently ?) AI scripting bots!
That is, if you think of the templates like html css.
It may help to remember that late 70s and early 80s people were still using punched cards and magnetic tapes! So you could have a procedure on one tape or disc platter and data on another!

Apologies I don’t quite follow what AI scripting bots then somehow punch cards? have anything to do with readable code?

Is there any use of punch cards and magnetic tapes these days ? that you are thinking of it linked somehow to readable codes :face_with_monocle: :thinking: ?

I think he was just trying to convey some sarcasm or something …

In Canada we use punch cards for selecting your numbers for playing the lottery. Or at least I think we still do. I’m not sure about that because I gave up paying my government’s gulibility tax a long time ago. I did start my schooling on computers using punch cards, and let me tell you, it sucked royally.

Punch cards were human-readable, anyway. My wife’s first job out of CS school was a punch card machine operator for Trailmobile, in central Illinois, punching in the programs the ā€œprogrammersā€ wrote.

She got in trouble for correcting their shoddy code; seems their supervisors thought they wouldn’t learn anything if she repaired their bugs.

And if it’s human-readable…machines (AI) will never become efficient. My wife had to intuit what the programmers intended.

And nobody will evar replace Womens Intuition. I dare 'em to try!

Well, you are right

Alan Turing did not have such problems. He was an introverted man, but he could get along with people when needed. His failure to build a computer was mostly a byproduct of the kingdom’s antiquated views and laws concerning homosexuality; computers were considered a security related technology, and the view in those days was that gay men would be prone to blackmail, hence the loss of his access to computing projects. It didn’t help that after he was found guilty, he was made to take estrogen pills to ā€œcureā€ his condition, and among their side effects they reduced his mental acuity. We might excuse the British government of 1842 for pulling Babbage’s funding given the project’s history, but not that of 1952 for drugging the country’s leading computer scientist and the hero of Bletchley Park, driving him to eventually take his own life.

LOL. You were commenting on the old UNIX C++ workhorse and I merely suggested that the inexplicable nature of your observations are possibly (& partly) due to not seeing the situation from the perspective of C++ and its authors of 35 years ago. I.e., you are commenting on digital artifacts & relics born in a bygone era. Alas, my comments are also suffering the same fate, so they will find respite & leave you in peace!

Yes. I’m a cannabis-consuming connoisseur! :smiley:

Although I would argue there are less wasteful processes to achieve the desired effects. I can and do manufacture ā€œediblesā€ in my own home. Basically, I use cured bud, ice, and 200-proof ethanol to extract hash oil, which can be further processed & consumed/smoked/dabbed. (Personal consumption-only.) :wink:

The interesting thing is I only came to know about bhang being famous during Holi in many Indian villages just the day you made the post.

And you are an expert in Indian bhang business already from the Americas.

Even more, interesting I had heard about bhang before, but I then had forgotten about it until my friend told about day before yesterday. And I didn’t know it was cannabis until then. And then few hours later you are saying this…
:rofl:

What about a dumber version(me)
who assumed that cannabis is a kind of dry fruit :moyai:
Just got to know it is a kind of addictive substance after reading Bro’s post

LOL :rofl: , @Bro you should come India and start the business of Bhang then, there aren’t any competitors so far :grin:
