It was different times also the computers were for keeping files

>literally whole park runs with computers

congratulations you got the joke

>hired top of their class scientists that fucking revived dinosaurs

>hired one fatass coomer to run his entire park

deserved honestly

>>107108986
Door locks, fences and car track were computer controlled. Actually I'd consider Dennis more OT than IT.

>>107108998
No but they didnt. Not even the cameras had computers. The fat man was just babysitting dinosaur dna files or something.

The film did an horrible job during the first minutes, it needed less action and more situational building

>>107108960 (OP)
That checks honestly.

>>107109018
see >>107109012

>>107109018
How was she able to lock the doors from the computer? There was obviously some automation in the park.

Fucking roller coasters use PLCs. It's not far fetched that a theme park would have automated systems in the 90s.

>>107109064
Her trapezius muscles are insane.

>>107109064
Yes but if you go on a rollercoaster youll notice the box with the buttons is in the roller coaster not some far away computer

>>107109090
looks like a fucking lizardwomen

still makes me lmao

my right trapezius is much stronger and more defined than my left
anyone else encounter this?!!?

man i liked that battlestation aesthetic

>>107109018
Did you even watch the movie, dumbass? Literally everything was computer controlled and automated.
That's the entire premise of the movie, the computers failed and everything failed.

>>107109064
You also maybe have forgotten the movie, see above

>>107108960 (OP)
IIRC, in the book he was the only programmer on-site, but was remotely working together with his team back home.
>>107109064
Not using PLCs for the "simple" park automations like electric fences and whatnot seems strange to me, although the park spans kilometers and kilometers, which would be hard to cover with a 90s technology fieldbus.

Today, I'd do it with safety plcs interconnected with something like profisafe over fiber optic.
...which leads to another problem: how should the failsafe be handled? Electrify everything by default (and risk killing someone by mistake)? Disable everything by default (and risk letting dinos escape)?

>>107108960 (OP)
Quality over quantity.

>>107110266
>Electrify everything by default (and risk killing someone by mistake)? Disable everything by default (and risk letting dinos escape)?
letting dinos escape is killing people. you need to electrify by default.

>>107108971
Utterly kino. Never though ai generated videos would lead to something worthwhile.

>>107110351
This.

They probably should have used some sort of Lost Dharma Initiative style gas release too to kill everything on the island as a failsafe. This would've prevented the terrible sequels and all of mankind would've benefited.

>>107108986
you make it sound trivial, yet in that shot you can see he's using an SGI Crimson, with a fucking Thinking Machines CM-5 in the background
they certainly didn't spare any expense on the hardware

>>107111375
>they certainly didn't spare any expense on the hardware
Fair enough, but these were set pieces. Rented for the days of shooting, then the vendors took them back. Probably even worked out some deal for so-called "Product Placement", as is common today.

>>107110266
>how should the failsafe be handled
Electricity off, always, to prevent making things worse through a frayed or shorted line starting a fire. Plus it's much easier and safer to troubleshoot on site when you didn't have to worry about touching an elephant sized bug zapper on accident

>>107112208
lol, obviously i'm talking more "in-universe", though i'm sure they had some nice hardware in the production of Jurassic Park, like it had some ground-breaking 3D CGI back in 1993
i was /really/ young when it came out, but i still remember the first time i saw it, playing on TV sitting on the floor of some relative's place i don't even remember whose, it was scary as fuck, so realistic

>>107112292
Yeah, same. I bought a special book on the making of the film. Had the storyboards in the back and everything. Groundbreaking for the CGI and a few other things, for sure.

>don't worry about the dinosaurs going feral, they need us to give them lysine because they can't synthesize it themselves!

What did he mean by this?

Nerdy himself wrote 2 million LOC, chud.

Holy fucking autism, how can people like you even survive?

>>107112341
yea i change a json file at work and end up with a 80000 LOC diff im pretty good at programming like this dude

>>107112379
Because we make lots and lots of money. That works out fine, actually.

>>107112341
He was 10x in both l33tcode and pant size

>>107109215
Not really IT, he hates this hacker crap.

>>107112484
Whatever you say timmy, just don't reproduce ok?

>>107112253
>safer to troubleshoot on site
I beg to differ. The raptor pen would be pretty hard to send a sparky in to fix while having to play Alien versus 25 door openers.

>>107111375
fun fact: these are half-fake. they didnt buy real computers because why would you do that for a movie, but they did actually get front panels from various supercomputer companies for authenticity. where the actual computer would go are simple locally produced microcontrollers that are just wired to the various indicators to make them blink semi-randomly (there's a pattern but according to interviews, it was basically "random-ish, but a bad rando algo, tweaked until it looked right")

>>107112632
they address this in the reboots, they're clicker trained

>>107113071
>fun fact: these are half-fake.
this wouldn't surprise me, like they had to have used actual SGI machines in the production of jurassic park, but a thinking machines supercomputer? that has to be nerd fan service.

>>107108971
Carlos, if he Netflix?

>>107109125
You can in fact control PLCs from a PC remotely. And that has been a thing basically since the 1970s. Back then it was serial, now it's ethernet. But the principle is still the same.

>>107110266
I guess you got to wonder how Disney World was doing it, there are plenty of automated system there that are PC controlled. And very likely PLC controlled and they've been using.

Profibus cables can be up to 1200 meters long at 9.6kb which is plenty if all you need is fence on off signals or some alarms and adding in profibus repeaters you could make it even longer, so it's feasable to fully monitor everything from an early SCADA like system. Likely the actual PLC would be at the fence. Or maybe they were using a PC to control things with remote IO I'm not sure how early IPC control was like.

Tool late, bro. :D

>>107108960 (OP)
It was the 90s, there only was one IT guy. Hell, they didn't even call him the "IT" guy he was just the computer guy, normies didn't know what "IT" was until the 00s.

Every computer running Jurassic Park was an SGI workstation. Hammond wasn't kidding when he said he spared no expense.

>>107112326
He thought raptors were lab techs, because they couldn't synthesize stuff? What a dummy

>>107113071
>in the reboots
okay, you're one of those "but I had breakfast today" retards. In-universe, dinosaur training wasn't a thing in Jurassic Park at all. Only when it was acquired by Masrani and remade into Jurassic World decades later did they think to try and train raptors.

can't find a better clip but you guys need to go rewatch the movie, Nedry clearly states that the whole park is automated and can be run from the control room.

>>107109215
His name was Mister Arnold in this movie.

And there were others, they were operating with a skeleton crew after everyone else fled the hurricane.

>>107112208
The canonically also used cray super computers, and he really didn't spare any expense. The whole system worked fine and was on par with other major theme parks. The only reason it failed it because Dennis Nedry made it fail.

>>107113197
iirc the story goes that spielberg was, as usual, a fucking hack but one with infinite jew sheckels, and because they were already doing lots of edited-in special effects but ALSO lots of practical effects the budget was fuckhuge and the props guy was a tech wonk so he proposed it and they just kinda let him do it because outright buying face plates of a bunch of supercomputers paled compared to the dinosaur puppets with custom milled aluminum skeletons

supposedly most of them got returned but they kept a few and i think they were re-used in a couple other movies. sorta like how when you go on IMFDB there's notes sometimes saying that some super cool crazy spacegun that would have been like 25 grand at the time even for the civilian model was procured by DOCTOR FIREARMS, PROPSMASTER and IS THE VERY SAME ONE THAT APPEARED IN [link]

>>107118447
i know thats why i specified "in the reboots"

>>107118447
I said this in the thread two days ago, the entire thing is automated.

>>107112507
So good IT then
