The first steam engine was created in the 1st century B.C., by Heron of Alexandria. Around the same time the Antikythera mechanism was built.
Legacy British Empire re-written history is retarded.

Any books you'd recommend on history of tech?
Probably not in the way i think you mean. When im feeing rabbit hole-ish i just make a big pot of coffee at night, and start digging in a direction, and look for correlations, put some in an org doc, and revisit them if i come across something that seems related.
honestly reading some obscure thing on the internet and trying to filter out various forms of bias to the best of my ability, late at night, with some defcon radio going in the background is one of my favorite things.
Thanks, very relatable.
It's a shame that incentives have led to the current situation where so much of our history is obscured or forgotten. Hope we can do better for the future.
I really enjoyed reading this one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/9_Algorithms_That_Changed_the_Future

Looks awesome, thanks!
Looks like many of the algorithms covered had to exist before Bitcoin could exist. Very cool.
