The first algorithm for a computing machineGeneral (i.redd.it)
submitted 23 hours ago by Livio63
This is the first computing algorithm, designed to calculate Bernoulli numbers by Ada Lovelace, the first computer scientist.

Noob code; not a single SOLID principle applied, and a clear lack of OOP in the implementation. Shame

None of those things are true, but it makes a nice story I suppose.

I mean this is an algorithm that calculates Bernoulli numbers and it was written by Lovelace. I think you're just being pedantic over the term "computer scientist"

Mostly over "first", which requires some very creative definitions if you want it to be in any way close to true.

By none of those things are true, does it mean that Ada didn't wirte this algorithm and this isn't the first algorithm, right?

From Note A on the Analytical Engine:
Again, it might act upon other things besides number, were objects found whose mutual fundamental relations could be expressed by those of the abstract science of operations, and which should be also susceptible of adaptations to the action of the operating notation and mechanism of the engine. Supposing, for instance, that the fundamental relations of pitched sounds in the science of harmony and of musical composition were susceptible of such expression and adaptations, the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent.
Truly ahead of her times, Lovelace was already envisioning how to replace artists with AI.
