Passed the NCA-AIIO exam — NVIDIA-Certified Associate: AI Infrastructure and Operations, issued July 31, 2026.

Last weekend, I spent a few hours at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, right after walking to the famous HP Garage in Palo Alto. This museum is a great place for anyone who loves computers! I took over 200 photos, but I chose about 15 of the most interesting ones to share here.

IBM Type 80 Card Sorter (1943)

This machine did a lot of heavy office work long before modern computers existed. In 1943, companies rented over 10,000 of them to sort data on punch cards by alphabet or numbers. I actually saw the end of the punch card era when I was learning to use the Soviet Elbrus-1 mainframe in university.
