A proof made public today illustrates that Stephen Wolfram's 2,3 Turing machine number 596440 is a universal Turing machine, and it has netted a University of Birmingham undergraduate $25,000. In 1936 ...
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 ...

What can't be computed? How Turing drew the line between the solvable and the impossible
Alan Turing didn't just define what machines could do — he set out to find where computation itself breaks down. This is the ...
The recent movie “The Imitation Game” gave [Alan Turing] some well-deserved fame among non-computer types (although the historical accuracy of that movie is poor, at best; there have been several ...
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 ...
Quanta Magazine Articles on Turing machines In math and computer science, researchers have long understood that some questions are fundamentally unanswerable. Now physicists are exploring how even ...
Can anyone explain what the actual properties of a Turing Machine are that make it incapable of completing the above problems? How would this 'neo-computer' differ from a Turing Machine? What about ...
Alan Turing is one of the world’s best-known mathematicians, and probably the best known in the past century. This is partly for his work on cracking German codes in World War II, and partly for his ...
We’re entering the age of artificial intelligence. And as AI programs gets better and better at acting like humans, we will increasingly be faced with the question of whether there’s really anything ...
