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 story of how a simple machine with a tape and a scanner became the boundary ...
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 ...
