>worked at IBM in the 1960s and invented generalized dynamic instruction handling, a key advance used in out-of-order execution, used by most modern computer processors to improve performance.
>initiated the Mead–Conway VLSI chip design revolution in very large scale integrated (VLSI) microchip design.
>That revolution spread rapidly through the research universities and computing industries during the 1980s, incubating an emerging electronic design automation industry, spawning the modern 'foundry' infrastructure for chip design and production, and triggering a rush of impactful high-tech startups in the 1980s and 1990s.

Thank you based Google

that's a pseudonym. search on farms if you need to know.
A pseudonym given at birth?
you trust everything LLMs tell you? ngmi.
>Over the course of the blog, Conway uses the self-admitted pseudonym 'Robert Sanders' to denote his deadname, which is justified as a means of 'protecting the identities of friends and family'. The effect of the tact is that I've seen some journalists (back in the late 1990s when Conway was forced out of stealth) mistook it for the actual name.
Then tell me, I must deadname trannies
take a guess
not a bad looking dude

>Lynn Ann Conway (January 2, 1938 – June 9, 2024)[3][4] was an American computer scientist, electrical engineer and transgender activist.[5]
>Conway entered MIT in 1955, earning high grades but ultimately leaving in despair after an attempted gender transition, from male to female in 1957–58
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_Conway
RIP.
kys. don't speak ill of the dead for no good reason.
he's a proud transgender
nothing wrong with calling him a transgender
you are so judgemental, as if you have nothing to be judged for. this thread is about her passing, not your opinion on political drama #383642.
No safe spaces.
>her
RIP to a great engineer but I will never refer to "Lynn" Conway as a woman. Whether alive or dead, at no point will I feed someone's fantasies and use anyone's preffered pronouns. Transgenderism is a degenerate cult supporting mental illness.
she was a woman. you are the one in the degenerate mentally ill cult
No rest for the wicked.
Conway's work was certainly great but the reason everyone is talking about this is transgenderism, not technological accomplishments. Sad.
apolgy for bad england
where were u wen hgtv die
i was at cubicel eating smutter when phone ring
"goodbone is kill"
"no"
Oyakodon.
stop lusting after an old woman and her dead son
Bob Dennard died recently too. We had a day of silence for him on slack.
Literally who?
She was more important than Terry Davis and this is how you're gonna pay respects?
>She was more important than Terry Davis
No, try to dilate harder not only your 'boihole' but also your brain.
Done.
Not really a fair comparison since Terry never produced anything meaningful for anyone.
you wouldn't even know this person's name if it wasn't a woman. What gay blog did you copy this sentiment from
41%?
never seen lynn, seen memorex stuff, but do not remember what those are
poor bugger has two dead names now

So how did he kill himself?
>He
Who are you referring to?
the man that died
But there are no men in this thread. Are you mentally ill or just trolling?
Anon I'm with you here, but bickering with the chuds on IQfy may not be the best use of your time
Anyways, my last respects to a great computer scientist
the man that died. can you not read? he's in the OP
There are no men in the OP. Are you mentally ill or just trolling?
please stop making fun of him like that, show some respect
Mentally ill then? Dispatching mental health services to your house
holy shit a medscopter just flew over my house
>Lynn Conway
>Is a man
Thank you for your sacrifice tech eunuch
tfw no cute tech gf (male)
You can easily catch aids and get one at your local city especially this month
I came here to pay my respects.
RIP, his contributions were very valuable to the field.
>his
but anon i wasn't talking about your sister
>>his
are you implying some things were wrongfully attributed to him? that's not cool, man, especially right after he died. at least wait a while before raising doubts about a man's entire career
>him
>he
>man
you sweet summer child
please, a very well respected engineer, who was like a father figure to me, an inspiration, just died. I can't deal with your trolling right now.
that's ok females can be father figures too. glad youre figuring out gender roles can be different from sex
I support women's rights and all but you should make a new thread for that, here we're mourning a fellow man.
>no men in the thread
cool mental illness bro
