One of the things we love best about the articles we publish on Hackaday is the dynamic that can develop between the hacker and the readers. At its best, the comment section of an article can be a ...

For something that has been around since the 1930s and is so foundational to computer science, you’d think that the Turing machine, an abstraction for mechanical computation, would be easily ...

On Saturday, British mathematician Alan Turing would have turned 100 years old. It is barely fathomable to think that none of the computing power surrounding us today was around when he was born. But ...

With regard to my previous blog on a One-bit processor and a mega-cool Turing machine, I’ve been bouncing around the Internet discovering all sorts of cool things… But before we hurl ourselves ...

The Turing Test, a concept introduced by Alan Turing in 1950, has been a foundation concept for evaluating a machine's ability to exhibit human-like intelligence. But as we edge closer to the ...

This year marks 70 years since Alan Turing published his paper introducing the concept of the Turing Test in response to the question, “Can machines think?” The test’s goal was to determine if a ...

Charles Petzold's book The Annotated Turing, which covers Turing's 1936 paper on computable numbers and much of the background material needed to understand it, is more than decent. As a result, I was ...
