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 ...

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 ...

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 Church-Turing limit restricts all current computation, including quantum computers, to rational number computation. This is because quantum computer designs (still not scalable even with high ...
