U-Michal Ždanský Umsunguli weWolfram Research Company, uSteven Wolfram, obhekele injini yokusesha iWolfram | I-Alpha kanye nohlelo lweMathematica, ohlelweni lwabo ibhulogi ukhumbula esebenza noSteve Jobs nokuthi ubambe iqhaza elingakanani ezinhlelweni zokuphila kwakhe, ezixhumene kakhulu nemikhiqizo ye-Apple ephumelela kakhulu.
Kwaba buhlungu kimina lapho ngizwa ngokushona kukaSteve Jobs kusihlwa kanye nezigidi zabantu. Ngifunde izinto eziningi kuye kule kota yokugcina yekhulunyaka futhi ngaziqhenya ngokumbala njengomngane. Ube neqhaza elikhulu ngezindlela ezihlukahlukene kumaphrojekthi wami amakhulu amathathu empilo: I-Mathematica, Uhlobo Olusha Lwesayensi a Wolfram | I-Alpha
Ngaqala ukuhlangana no-Steve Jobs ngo-1987 ngesikhathi akha ikhompuyutha yakhe yokuqala ye-NeXT buthule futhi ngisebenza ngokuthula enguqulweni yokuqala. I-Mathematica. Sethulwe umngane wethu sobabili, futhi uSteve Jobs wangitshela ngokungananazi ukuthi uhlela ukwakha ikhompiyutha engcono kakhulu yemfundo ephakeme futhi ufuna ibe yikhompyutha. I-Mathematica ingxenye yawo. Angikhumbuli imininingwane eqondile yalowo mhlangano, kodwa ekugcineni uSteve wanginika ikhadi lakhe lebhizinisi, engisenalo emafayilini ami.
Ezinyangeni zomhlangano wethu wokuqala, ngiye ngaba nokuxhumana okuhlukahlukene noSteve mayelana nohlelo lwami I-Mathematica. Kwake kwaba njalo I-Mathematica alizange lisho nhlobo, futhi igama ngokwalo lalingesinye sezihloko ezinkulu zezingxoxo zethu. Okokuqala kwaba Omega, kamuva I-PolyMath. Ngokusho kukaSteve, kwakungamagama ayisiphukuphuku. Ngamnika lonke uhlu lwabazokhethwa ngeziqu futhi ngacela umbono wakhe. Ngemva kwesikhathi esithile, ngolunye usuku wathi kimi: “Kufanele uyibize I-Mathematica".
Ngalicabangela lelo gama, kodwa ngabe sengilenqaba. Ngabuza uSteve ukuthi kungani I-Mathematica futhi wangichazela umbono wakhe wamagama. Okokuqala udinga ukuqala ngegama elijwayelekile bese uyalihlobisa. Isibonelo sakhe asithandayo kwakuyi-Sony Trinitron. Kwathatha isikhathi, kodwa ngagcina ngivumile I-Mathematica igama elihle ngempela. Futhi manje sengineminyaka ecishe ibe ngu-24 ngiyisebenzisa.
Njengoba intuthuko iqhubeka, sabonisa imiphumela yethu kuSteve kaningi. Ubelokhu ethi akaqondi ukuthi sonke lesi sibalo sisebenze kanjani. Kodwa kukangaki eqhamuke nezinye iziphakamiso ukuze kube lula mayelana nesixhumi esibonakalayo kanye nemibhalo. Ngo-June 1988, ngase ngilungile Izibalo khulula. Kodwa i-NeXT ibingakathuli ikhompuyutha yayo. USteve ubengabonwa esidlangalaleni futhi namahemuhemu okuthi i-NeXT bekwenzenjani aqala ukushuba. Ngakho lapho uSteve Jobs evuma ukuvela esitatimendeni sethu sabezindaba, kwasho lukhulu kithi.
Wethula inkulumo emnandi, ekhuluma ngendlela alindele ukuthi amakhompyutha asetshenziswe ngayo ezimbonini eziningi nokuthi azodinga izinsiza. I-Mathematica, ehlinzekwa ngama-algorithms ayo. Ngalokhu, waveza ngokucacile umbono wakhe, nawo oye wagcwaliseka phakathi neminyaka edlule. (Futhi kwangijabulisa ukuzwa ukuthi ama-algorithms amaningi abalulekile e-iPhone athuthukiswa ngokungeniswa Izibalo.)
Ngemva kwesikhathi esithile, kwamenyezelwa amakhompyutha amasha e-NeXT futhi I-Mathematica ibiyingxenye yawo wonke umshini omusha. Nakuba kungeyona impumelelo ebalulekile yokuhweba, isinqumo sikaSteve sokupakisha Izibalo kuwo wonke amakhompuyutha kuvele kuwumqondo omuhle, futhi kangaki kwaba isizathu esiyinhloko sokuthi abantu bathenge ikhompuyutha e-NeXT. Eminyakeni embalwa kamuva ngafunda ukuthi amaningana ala makhompiyutha athengwa yi-Swiss CERN ukuze aqhube iMathematica kuwo. Lawa kwakungamakhompyutha okwasungulwa kuwo ukuqala kwewebhu.
Mina noSteve sasibonana njalo ngaleso sikhathi. Ngake ngamvakashela ekomkhulu lakhe elisha le-NEXT e-Redwood City. Ngokwengxenye bengifuna ukuxoxa naye ngezinketho I-Mathematica njengolimi lwekhompyutha. U-Steve uhlale ekhetha i-UI kunezilimi, kodwa wazama ukungisiza. Ingxoxo yethu yaqhubeka, nokho wangitshela ukuthi ngeke akwazi ukuya nami esidlweni sakusihlwa. Empeleni, umqondo wakhe wawuphambukile ngoba kwakufanele abe nosuku ngalobo busuku - futhi usuku lwalungekho uLwesihlanu.
Wangitshela ukuthi wayesanda kuhlangana naye ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule futhi wayenovalo ngomhlangano. USteve Jobs omkhulu - usomabhizinisi ozethembayo kanye nochwepheshe wezobuchwepheshe - uhambe kancane wangicela iseluleko mayelana nosuku, hhayi ukuthi ngingumeluleki odumile kule ndawo. Njengoba kwenzeka, usuku lwahamba kahle, futhi phakathi nezinyanga ezingu-18 lona wesifazane waba umkakhe, owahlala naye kwaze kwaba sekufeni kwakhe.
Ukusebenzisana kwami ngqo noSteve Jobs kwehle kakhulu phakathi neminyaka eyishumi ngisebenza ngokuzikhandla kule ncwadi Uhlobo Olusha Lwesayensi. Bekuyikhompyutha ye-NeXT engangiyisebenzisa isikhathi esiningi ngiphapheme. Empeleni ngithole konke okutholakele okukhulu kuyo. Futhi lapho incwadi isiqediwe, uSteve wangicela ikhophi yangaphambi kokukhululwa, engamthumelela yona ngenjabulo.
Ngaleso sikhathi, abantu abaningi bangeluleka ukuba ngibeke amazwi acashuniwe ngemuva kwencwadi. Ngakho ngabuza uSteve Jobs ukuthi anganginikeza yini iseluleko. Wabuyela kimi ngemibuzo embalwa, kodwa ekugcineni wathi, "U-Isaac Newton ubengadingi ukucaphuna ngemuva, udinga ini eyodwa?" Kanjalo nencwadi yami Uhlobo Olusha Lwesayensi iphele ngaphandle kokucaphuna, ikholaji yesithombe enhle ngemuva. Esinye isikweletu esivela kuSteve Jobs engikhumbula ngaso sonke isikhathi uma ngibheka incwadi yami ewugqinsi.
Ngibe nenhlanhla empilweni yami ukusebenza nabantu abaningi abanamakhono. Amandla kaSteve kimi kwakuyimibono yakhe ecacile. Wayehlale ebamba inkinga eyinkimbinkimbi, eqonda ingqikithi yayo, futhi esebenzisa lokho akutholayo ukuze enze isinyathelo esikhulu, ngokuvamile esibheke endleleni engalindelekile ngokuphelele. Mina ngokwami ngichithe isikhathi sami esiningi kwezesayensi nobuchwepheshe ngizama ukusebenza ngendlela efanayo. Futhi uzama ukudala okungcono kakhulu ngangokunokwenzeka.
Ngakho-ke kimina kanye nenkampani yethu yonke, kwangikhuthaza kakhulu ukubuka impumelelo kaSteve Jobs, kanye nezimpumelelo zika-Apple eminyakeni yamuva nje. Iqinisekise izindlela eziningi engikholelwa kuzo isikhathi eside. Futhi kwangikhuthaza ukuba ngiwaphushe kakhulu.
Ngokubona kwami, kungenxa Izibalo udumo olukhulu lokuba ukuphela kwesistimu yesofthiwe enkulu etholakalayo ngenkathi amakhompyutha we-NeXT amenyezelwa ngo-1988. Ngenkathi i-Apple iqala ukwenza ama-iPod nama-iPhones, ngangingenaso isiqiniseko sokuthi le mikhiqizo ingahlobana kanjani nalokho engangikudalile kuze kube manje. Kodwa uma efika Wolfram | I-Alpha, saqala ukuqaphela ukuthi ulwazi lwethu lwekhompiyutha lwalubaluleke kangakanani kule nkundla entsha eyadalwa nguSteve Jobs. Futhi lapho kufika i-iPad, uzakwethu uTheodore Gray wagcizelela ukuthi kufanele sidale okuthile okubalulekile kuyo. Umphumela waba ukushicilelwa kwe-eBook kaGrey ye-iPad - Elements, esethule kuTouch Press yanyakenye. Ngenxa yendalo kaSteve ebizwa nge-iPad, kwakunamathuba amasha ngokuphelele kanye nendlela entsha.
Akulula namuhla kusihlwa ukukhumbula konke uSteve Jobs aseseke waphinde wasikhuthaza ngakho eminyakeni edlule. Ezintweni ezinkulu nezincane. Uma ngibheka ingobo yami yomlando, ngicishe ngakhohlwa ukuthi zingaki izinkinga ezinemininingwane angena kuzo ukuze azixazulule. Kusukela ezinkingeni ezincane ezinguqulweni zokuqala OKULANDELAYO kuze kufike ucingo lomuntu siqu lwakamuva lapho engiqinisekise khona ukuthi uma sithepha Izibalo ku-iOS, ngakho-ke ngeke inqatshwe.
Ngibonga uSteve Jobs ngezinto eziningi. Kodwa ngokudabukisayo, umnikelo wakhe omkhulu kuphrojekthi yami yakamuva yempilo— Wolfram | I-Alpha - kwenzeke izolo, Okthoba 5, 2011, ngesikhathi kumenyezelwa lokho Wolfram | I-Alpha izosetshenziswa ku-Siri ku-iPhone 4S.
Lokhu kunyakaza kujwayelekile kuSteve Jobs. Ukubona ukuthi abantu bafuna ukufinyelela okuqondile olwazini nasezenzweni ocingweni lwabo. Ngaphandle kwazo zonke izinyathelo ezengeziwe abantu abazilindele ngokuzenzakalelayo.
Ngiyaziqhenya ngokuthi sisesimweni sokuletha ingxenye ebalulekile kulo mbono - Wolfram | I-Alpha. Okuzayo manje kuyisiqalo nje, futhi ngibheke ngabomvu ukubona ukuthi yini thina no-Apple esingayenza esikhathini esizayo. Ngiyaxolisa ukuthi uSteve Jobs akabandakanyeki.
Lapho ngihlangana noSteve Jobs cishe eminyakeni engu-25 edlule, ngashaywa umoya lapho echaza ukuthi i-NeXt yilokho ayefuna ukukwenza eminyakeni yakhe engamashumi amathathu. Kwangihlaba umxhwele ngaleso sikhathi ukuthi kwakuwukuqunga isibindi ukuhlela iminyaka yami eyi-10 ngale ndlela. Futhi kuyakhuthaza ngendlela emangalisayo, ikakhulukazi kulabo abachithe ingxenye enkulu yempilo yabo besebenza kumaphrojekthi amakhulu, ukubona lokho uSteve Jobs akufeza emashumini ambalwa eminyaka okuphila kwakhe, okungiphathe kabi okwaphela namuhla.
Ngiyabonga Steve, ngiyabonga ngakho konke.
Isihloko esihle kakhulu. Ngaphinda ngafunda ngezinto ezimbalwa engangingazazi ngaphambili, futhi uSteve asinika zona.
Kulungile, i-Jablíčkář ibangcono futhi ibangcono.
Ubuhle. Ngiyabonga
Esinye isihloko esihle. Ngiyabonga ngokufudumele. Ngethemba ukuthi izoqhubeka kanje;)
