       Early unit of computing power: one "kilogirl" was equivalent to a thousand hours of manual computing labor

       @trickster Guess the sexualization of tech came before "Her" and hentai.

       @trickster @bstacey While both of these terms are demeaning, I'd still like to see the conversion factor for a millihelen (the unit of beauty needed to launch a single ship.)

       @ridetheory oh, "kilogirl" is undoubtedly dehumanizing at worst and patronizing at best. The men had "man-hours". Girl's work could not possibly bear the same mark, and we can't just change the qualification of MAN-hours. Bleh.However, it is one of those rare episodes where women's work gets recognized.(thanks for reminding me of milihelens)

       @trickster Does anybody know if there are estimates around about how many FLOPS those trained professionals could achieve?

       @oblomov @trickster I would make a simple estimate of around a full operation per 5 seconds on average (not including stuff that required the use of a table like sin/cos/tan/exp...) depending on the amount of significant digits, which would be 0.2FLOPS. That would put a "kilogirl" at around 7200 operations on average.

       @oblomov @tricksterThat makes 10Mgirl around 1.7ms of runtime on a GeForce 1080 (it is a low estimate, because those girls were probably relatively faster at doing an exponential, and more accurate, than a 1080)
