lmao cast iron is not built to last

Rubbish. A thick iron frame that's kept in a dry environment like an office or bank would last generations. @@haroldd7178

"a room full of accountants hammering away on these things" Imagine the noise, heck no!

I can imagine the hearing damage

​@@haroldd7178why not? We have plenty of cast iron tools over a millenia old.

Aren't gonna have a calculator in my pocket, am I teach

it's not a pocker calculator...

@@4rumani pocker calculator? Do you have too many pockers? How many pockers do you need dude

@@4rumani you have no understanding how deep were pockets back then 😂

what is a pocket?

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT 🔥

Just use a slide rule qwq.

Quite.

Easily buggable

they are both machines. this is just an old calculator. instead of typewriters, now we have word lol

Well, a few computers anyways. I think most from that period would have used vacuum tubes, though are area few notable examples of relay computers.

@Figmententity если мы пойдём дальше, то мне кажется все результаты которые щас достигнуты будут такими же слабыми как и это...

This isn't even using relays. This is purely mechanical.

​@FigmententityYou already are. AI is changing everything yet again. The digital revolution is almost complete, now the computers are taking over.

@@nikkiofthevalley he didnt say this was using relays, just that its mechanical, like old relay computers.

And you call that junk ingenuity?

@@Mr.orangecum___ You are a brain dead macaque compared to those who designed this masterpiece

🤷🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️🧍dislike (call it junk) what can’t be understood ….

@@Mr.orangecum___ It performs math with just gears and levers, man. I can't comprehend the kind of engineering behind that.

not much, if you stand on the shoulders of other geniuses. Thats how we get things made.

you can comprehend electron obstacle course pretty easily as well as soon as you boil it down to logic gates. if you'd like to learn it play Turing Machine game. it's not that accurate but it gives you a nice welcome to computer logic

If you bother to read boolean algebra you will immediately understand how arithmetic operations are done, how registers or buffers simplify complex calculations, and why computers use 1's and 0's. The slowest digital computer (with relays instead of valves) is much faster than the fastest mechanical calculator

@@asicdathens I'm talking about how the calculator functions, not how the actual maths is done. A computer has microscopic silicon things that do god knows what with electricity, exploiting some complicated physics thing that you cannot perceive and then you get an answer. This mechanical calculator has metal cogs that you can see and touch, moving around and pushing other parts into place in an obvious, immediately intuitive way, and then you get an answer.

@@Elriuhilu You can make a calculator that adds numbers with simple components transistors resistors and cables from a RadioShack type store. There is nothing complicated about digital calculators. An 8 bit binary adder was the first digital circuit I designed when I was 17.

@@Elriuhilu microscopic silicon things are convenient but you can just wire separate components together and get the same circuit. You could even, theoretically, create such simple components with your own hands (disregarding their quality of course). The only physical process they exploit is ability of one current flow to block another current flow. Just like you could control rotation of worm screw with worm gear. Or like water pressure would push a piston that, as s result, would block another pipe. And the rest of all that complicated silicon circuitry is those transistors wired in many different ways. Like a vehicle that consists of functional blocks - engine, transmission, steering system, suspension, which consist of cogs, worms, shafts, belts, pistons etc. The difference between mechanical and electrical devices is that the former manipulate torque and the latter - current. But aside from that, they are one I'm typing all of that not because I like to argue in the Internet, but because I hope that people who appreciate the beauty of mechanics will appreciate the beauty of electricity as well. With time invested, an electrical calculator becomes as simple as a transmission box

this operation is not for newbie..😂

Isn't this some sort of shift register? Idk.

What kind of magical language is that?

I love how movie hackers pound away frantically at the keyboard because that's more dramatic than just point and clicking at icons

You absolutely can, considering there's no steel here nor the exposed copper/bronze metallic colour which often pairs with it. This is very much not steampunk, just cool mechanical stuff :)

Steam pneumatic computer

Well, there is electrical drive, but it could be replaced with steam 'w'

More steampunk are the mechanical calculators with levers for number input and a handle you need to turn for it to work(i have one)

Well there's literally nothing in this video that involves steam machinery, so I'd say you can, very easily

well i dont

Imagine how fast we went from 5s for 1 operation (0.20Hz) to some billions operation a sec (1~GHz typical CPU nowadays, right inside this smartphone)

imagine steam engines then

Singularity event occurs. Lets find out

The calculator explodes.

A black hole opens

It grows limbs, throws a middle finger and quits its job

lmao the thing never stops calculating

@@Sigma_Eight Yeah. I’m completely stupid.

@@Sigma_Eight Stop acting out like a woman, it's an image.

It basically is a computer, just using linkages, switches, levers, and mechanical logic instead of microprocessors and code.

It is a computer. It's a machine bulid to compute.

@@lsswappedcessna Gotcha. Sadly, Microsoft and others don't require us to study computer history to get certified. I find it fascinating. This machine is more impressive to me than a Smartphone.

i highly doubt you worked in IT for 20 years.

What do you think happens when you do arithmetic on a computer? That it calls out to yet another computer?

use camparations and mecanical secuences to devide. down (where its the 1) its the total to divide. and the up (in where the 3 its is the divide) you can see the machine writes the numbers like when you write it in paper to devide (or the rest of calculations) use the same principe. when he push the arrow button he just says the machine to start the camparition where the mark its

@@satariel8652 Do you mean "comparison" or is "camparition" something else?

The electromechanical computers that were used at Bletchley Park to crack Axis codes during World War II were called "bombes". The handheld Curta calculator is sometimes referred to as a "math grenade".

People got very skilled operating these to the point that they could go at great speed. They went even faster with the "full keyboard" calculators where you could enter all the digits of a multi-digit number at the same moment with all your fingers. I think that idea was largely killed by the wide availability of programmable computers and databases that greatly reduced the number of times someone had to enter a specific piece of data.
