Podcasts about jargon file

This time we are diving back into the Jargon File to take a look at some hacker folklore. Back in the day hackers at MIT spent their time spying on one another's terminals. That is, until some intrepid programmer found a way to fight back.

Do you know what TCP/IP means? (Hint: you're using it right now.) What about CDMA? Or GPT? While the concepts and the execution of these technologies are clear to most of us who have been on the internet nearly our whole lives, the acronyms we use to define them are often inscrutable. On this week's episode, we welcome WIRED's AI reporter Will Knight onto the show. Along with our hosts Michael Calore and Lauren Goode, the trio takes turns quizzing each other on what exactly these acronyms stand for. Michael is asked to unpack various terms from the early internet era, Lauren is tested on acronyms from the mobile era, and Will tells us what all the AI-related abbreviations mean. Everyone does a pretty good job even if nobody earns a perfect score. Play along at home; maybe you can best our hosts with your arcane knowledge of internet minutiae.Show NotesRead Steven Levy's story about the Google research paper that kickstarted the transformer-based AI boom.Recommendations:Will recommends the book The Rise and Fall of the EAST by Yasheng Huang. (Watch their conversation at MIT's Starr Forum.) Lauren recommends the Forest app for the Pomodoro work method. Mike recommends The Jargon File.Will Knight can be found on social media @WillKnight.

It's a long show, but it's worth it, as Ryan and Brian are joined in the studio by Shannon Rapp (aka Norah Sharpe / an Expert in Sconces / "the name is fake but the puzzles are real."™). We've got surprising homophones eunuchs/UNIX, more Eric than you knew was possible, a Thunder Round of non-NYT delicacies, and a new segment of "Kealoa," featuring UGH vs. ICK. Stuff to click: Daily Crossword Links: every puzzle you could dream of Grids For Kids, launching this Saturday, February 4 The Jargon File (not a "secure" link, so it may not show up in some podcast apps) Sniglets, which apparently don't have their own website? This week's Thunder Round, with Twitter links where we have them: My Jewish Learning by Rebecca Goldstein (this link goes to the 1/27/23 puzzles, but we talk about the 1/20/23 puzzle) Autostraddle by Rachel Fabi (we did this puzzle) Black Crossword by Juliana Pache The Modern Crossword Crossword Club by Kelsey Dixon (we did this puzzle) Xtra Magazine by Ada Nicolle (we did this puzzle) Crucinova by Quiara Vasquez If you get bored (how could you?!), write something for the Fill Me In wiki.

Hacker hasn't always been used to describe dangerous computer experts will ill intent. More accurately it should be sued to describe those enamored with computers, programming, and trying to push machines to do interesting things. The values, ethics, morals, and practices around those people make up what's known as hacker culture. Today we are digging into the Jargon File, a compendium of all things hackish and hackable, to take a look at hacker culture through its folklore.   Huge thanks to some of my fellow podcasters for doing readings for me this episode. In order of appearance they are:   Randall Kindig of the FloppyDays Vintage Computing Podcast(floppydays.com) Charles Edge from The History of Computing(thehistoryofcomputing.libsyn.com) Sebastian Major of Our Fake History(ourfakehistory.com)   Like the show?

Just when you least expected it… a game show! See how well you know classic Internet jargon as we COME ON DOWN…. to the Old Wide Web!

In this mini-episode we look at the Jargon File, an early primary source about hacker culture. The most recent version of the file lives here: http://catb.org/jargon/html/ If you want more of my voice, I was also recently on the What Do You Do With That podcast talking about restoring an IBM PS/2 Model 25. You can find all their episodes here: https://wdydwt.blubrry.net/

The engineers know the project is in terrible trouble, but the executives think it's going great. This "greenshifting" anti-pattern occurs at NASA, software companies, and everywhere in between. We tell a few related stories, including a fable, and suggest methods that might work to counteract the greenshifting tendency in your organisation.

Der Hacker-Slang ist berühmt. Jeder, der schon mal an der Pommesbude einer Fachdiskussion von Nerds ausgesetzt war, weiß wovon wir reden. Meistens versteht man nur eines: Bahnhof. Der Hackerjargon ist eine Mischung aus technischen Begriffen, englischen Entlehnungen, logischen und linguistischen Spielereien und anscheinend unendlich vielen Abkürzungen, teilweise auch rekursiven. HHOS! Chaosradio blättert im Jargon File und erklärt die Herkunft beliebter Begriffe und Redewendungen, das Wesen des Hackerhumors und seine Auswüchse. Besondere Vertiefung erfährt natürlich das Kapitel Abkürzungen und die Deutung des Wortes "Hack".
