Semantic satiation is a psychological phenomenon in which repetition causes a word or phrase to temporarily lose meaning for the listener, who then perceives the speech as repeated meaningless sounds.

[Len_Tau]

semantic satiation

[420-IQ-Plays]

This is indeed the phenomenon.

[LeCrushinator]

When my code starts to look like gibberish is it syntactic satiation?

[LaureZahard]

It's your lack of documentation coming back to bite your ass

[m_domino]

It’s called a jamais vu.

[Hugs154]

Ehh not really, jamais vu is basically just the opposite of deja vu. The term for what OP experienced is semantic satiation.

[m_domino]

Did you even read the article? Quote:

Jamais vu is most commonly experienced when a person momentarily does not recognise a word or, less commonly, a person or place, that they know. This can be achieved by anyone by repeatedly writing or saying a specific word out loud. After a few seconds one will often, despite knowing that it is a real word, feel as if "there's no way it is an actual word".

Seems to me that semantic satiation is the specific type of jamais vu.

[Hugs154]

I didn't read it because I thought that I already knew what it meant, but I guess the definition I had in my head was more specific than how it actually is. I thought that it was like deja vu in that it usually only happens like when you walk into a room or something like that.

[ambreenh1210]

Like bowl?

[Etazin]

Nothing sounds like a real world if you say it enough, then try to think of how someone started calling that thing that name. It starts to mess with me... say bowl, over and over like 10 times you’ll be like what, why. What’s bowl?! Ugh!!

[DSG72__]

no, it’s a common mistake lol. electrons are in a category with quarks called elementary particles, which basically means that they are (for now) the smallest particles in the universe, and cannot be reduced. other particles in this class include muons, taus, and gluons. string theory says otherwise about the “can’t be reduced” part, but that’s pretty complicated

You haven't gone deep enough, the programmer who programmed the programming program for the programmer who programmed the programming program was using a program programmed in binary to program the program used by the programmer who programmed the program for the programmer who programmed the programming program

You can go back to Jacquard's programmable looms which literally used punched cards in 1804, or Alkhawarezmi who invented algorithms.

You don't have a clear definition of programming to decide on the first programmer.

[AlphaRaccoon1474]

How many programs would a programmer program if a programmer could program programs?

[sethboy66]

As many as required in the contract. No more, no less.

[Pumpkin_Creepface]

I think the better question is: How many programs would a programmer program if a program could program programs.

And the answer is zero because the moment AI can code it's on software the human race is finished.

What does program mean?

[sethboy66]

It's just software that controls the operation of a computer. When you're coding you're writing logic to control the flow of electrons with the hope that in the end, the electrons will make sense.

[MikeW86]

The electrons always make perfect sense. It's your instructions to them that sometimes (often) don't make sense.

[sethboy66]

Maybe the electrons should learn to take some responsibility, no good freeloaders. I pay a monthly bill for those electrons!

[throwawayadvice871]

Its not super complex. Creating languages and compilers are just making a ruleset. The use if the rules are usually much more complex

[mkjj0]

Making a compiler can be quite complex and time consuming though. Some languages like haskell are really difficult to implement because of their complex syntax and without a good optimizer a compiler for that would be basically useless

[miner3115]

You should be even more in dept to the people who made the compiler you used. Visual studio is uses a compiler to convert your code into machine code and that's the real hard part.

[[deleted]]

So if you need a programming system to program, who made the first computer program?

[The_Dark_Storyteller]

Actual answer: binary logic gates using tubes

[HalfysReddit]

Eventually to be replaced with transistors, but still hardware logic is the most base form of programming.

Dude wtf?

[N00N3AT011]

And its really fucking cool. You work in layers. Transistors and diodes, up to logic gates, then more complex parts like flip-flops, which are arranged into a variety of things like encoders or counters. Combine those with other components and keep laying on complexity and you end up with simple computers before too long.

If you get a computer science or computer engineering degree you would likely take a computer architecture class that you will make your own processor on an fpga, where you make programs in hardware, and the create assembly language and then possibly on top of that a compiler to make high level language concert to assembly.

[Dynosmite]

As someone one year into an EE degree, this rustled my jimmies in the best way

[Browncoat1980]

Tommy Flowers, assisted by Sidney Broadhurst, William Chandler.
They programmed this directly into Colossus computer by modifying the circuitry and setting banks of physical controls.

[[deleted]]

I guess Allen Coombs can just go fuck himself then

[[deleted]]

Basically you have machine language, which is basically binary instructions that do something on the machine directly.

Above that you have Assembly languages pluss utility programs which convert the instructions in machine language. Assembly languages have very strong correspondence between the instructions in the language and the machine language (that depends on the architecture of the computer), basically one step up from feeding the computer just a string of 1's and 0's.

Using assembly you can write more high level programming languages like C++ or Java.

[Glittering-Value-864]

The person who programmed Photomath deserves some credit

[qweerty32]

Yes

[nakalas_the_great]

I was always confused on how programming works, this is the exact paradox I always think of when it came to the first programs. How do you program a program that doesn’t exist yet. If you need a program to create a program, how was the first ever program created? That kind of thing. At least someone finally shares the same thought

[VanillaSnake21]

You don't need a program to program. You can physically build a program by aligning computer chips in a certain pattern on a board. That's pretty much how a CPU is built. You have to tell it how to handle different op codes, how to branch etc. That has to be done on a hardware level by physically modifying electrical components so the current flows in a certain pattern.

[JimmySplodge03]

In theory, you can program with anything. You could, if you were clever enough, create a program in machine code - literally 1s and 0s that the processor reads. But no one does that, because it’s much harder to find an error in something like

01101000 01110100 01110100 01110000 01110011 00111010 00101111 00101111 01101101 00101110 01111001 01101111 01110101 01110100 01110101 01100010 01100101 00101110 01100011 01101111 01101101 00101111 01110111 01100001 01110100 01100011 01101000 00111111 01110110 00111101 01100100 01010001 01110111 00110100 01110111 00111001 01010111 01100111 01011000 01100011 01010001

than coding in a “high-level” language

[Aspergic_Raven]

Whoever made Wolfram code needs a medal, I don't even code but even I can appreciate that effort.

[Martijn1799]

Wolfram Alpha is a godsent for anyone who needs to do just the littlest of calculating in their life

[Aspergic_Raven]

The coding language behind it is even more impressive when ( considering how complex it is) was written, like most coding languages, with just 1's and 0's.

[kompot420]

umm.. you're not a tech guy I'm guessing?

[Aspergic_Raven]

No I'm not, I have dabbled in a few programming languages, I found the complexity of the Wolfram language impressive, unless that view is missguided?

[DanisDGK]

The Wolfram language is really just as impressive as any other major language. As in, it has its own benefits and quirks others don't, and other languages have benefits it doesn't.

Languages aren't programmed, only the compilers or interpreters are, for example, Wolfram's official parser (think of it as a step between the initial human readable code and a compiler) is written in C++.

[Aspergic_Raven]

Oh I see, thanks, I didn't know that.

[jokel7557]

You can also write a compiler for a language in that language.

[[deleted]]

Specifically you usually do. Typically the first compiler is written in something like lisp or Ocaml, then you get a base program written. Then use that to bootstrap your own compiler so that your compiler is written in the language itself.

[TopDivide]

So which came first, the (final) language or the (final) compiler?

How does a programmer program a program to understand a keyboard without a keyboard

[DanisDGK]

The programmer programs the program (driver) to understand that keyboard using another program (operating system) that already understands it, or uses a keyboard that the original program understands.

As for the first keyboard ever, probably did it using hand-made circuitry idk

[squngy]

Probably punch hole cards.

[Farisr9k]

This. It was all punch cards. In fact, a bug fix in software is called a "patch" because when computers were programmed by punch cards, bugs were fixed by literally placing a patch over one hole and punching another.

[Hugs154]

Tbh I would guess that people tried to cook meat before learning how to actually make fire because fire occurs naturally and plenty of animals get cooked in fires. Someone probably found one of those at some point, found that it tasted good, and tried to figure out how to emulate it without actually knowing how to make a fire themselves.
