    [EN] Computing, but not as you know it: analog computers (I) - B Ulmann, D Thuerck

    English Edition: with my guests Bernd Ulmann and Daniel Thuerck I am looking at the fascinating world of analog computers. Far from being "yesterday's" machines, there is a lot of interest in building analog devices. So what are they, what are they used for, and how do you work with them.  Links: https://anabrid.com/ https://the-analog-thing.org https://anabrid.com/redachttps://shop.anabrid.com/collections/lucidac https://www.analogmuseum.org/english/ https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/analog-and-hybrid/9783110787887/  Bernd Ulmann's bookhttps://analog-computing-days.org/  The Analog Computing Days conference in Frankfurt am Main, Germany 11/12 June 2026https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co64127/phillips-economic-computer  The Phillips MONIAC analog computer at the Science Museum in London https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillips_Machine https://www.econ.cam.ac.uk/news/2022/trickle-down-economics-phillips-machine-shows-how-macroeconomy-flows https://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/objects-and-stories/charles-babbages-difference-engines-and-science-museum Part of the Difference Engine by C Babbagehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule a simple "analog computer"  https://research.ibm.com/projects/analog-ai https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer https://research.ibm.com/projects/analog-ai Research into analog computers at IBMGet in touch Thank you for listening!

    [EN] Making Software Count - Simon Hettrick, Jack Atkinson, Will Swansborough-Aston

    English Edition: making software, digital data and other artefacts count in research evaluations has always been a challenge. But there are plenty of people and initiatives like the https://hidden-ref.org in the UK who want to change research culture. And I talked to three people who are working in this field to find out what the challenges are and what they do to make software and digital technologies count (more): Simon Hettrick (Uni Southampton), Jack Atkinson (Uni Cambridge) and Will Swansborough-Aston (Uni Exeter).
