Worth to mention: you can use ChatGPT to generate mermaid diagrams

On: How the World’s First Computer Was Rescued From the Scrap Heap

ENIAC? Zuse Z3!

[frtab → snooze82]

Zuse Z3? Babbage's Analytical Engine!

[VLM → frtab]

"Babbage's Analytical Engine!"

First computer not first vaporware

[Hermel → frtab]

The Z3 was the first operational turing-complete computer (May 1941, a few years before ENIAC). Babbage's analytical engine was never actually built.

[CmonDev → Hermel]

For me, as a software developer, it's about detailed design rather than implementation. 1837-s design is much more impressive than 1941-s implementation (100+ years later - you'd better build something with all that time).

[cabalamat → snooze82]

I thought it would be about the Analytical Engine.

[Malic → cabalamat]

Funny, I was expecting the Antikythera mechanism.

[CmonDev → Malic]

Antikythera is not Turing-complete unlike the brain. So which prehistoric creature did they resurrect?
