mething complex, you had to employ a computer: a person who could do mental arithmetic enormously fast. Richard Feynman’s first job was computing for the Manhattan Project. The question was: Could a computer, either mechanical or human, blindly follow known rules to decide all mathematical questions? Hilbert’s 10" Probl
u can see a link on my website. Very soon after Turing’s paper was published, a number of people proposed better practical implementations. In 1943, John von Neumann of Princeton University created the architecture for ENIAC, the first stored program computer, developed for the United States Army’s Ballistic HOUS
I’m not going to be a Nobel Prize winner, but I can still be a scientist.’ All of us who were in Physics and had these romantic heroes—the Feynmans, the Manhattan Project—realized that our career trajectory would at best be working on one project at CERN for fifteen years. That project would either be a failure, in whi
rnet, everyone doing any of those things became a data generator. The result was an exponential rather than a linear rate of knowledge accumulation. John von Neumann also has a cameo in Zhe Human Use of Human Beings, for game theory. What Wiener missed here was von Neumann’s seminal role in digitizing computation.
