Alan Turing: Crash Course Computer Science #15

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Today we-re going to take a step back from programming and discuss the person who formulated many of the theoretical concepts that underlie modern computation - the father of computer science himself: Alan Turing. Now normally we try to avoid -Great Man history in Crash Course because truthfully all milestones in humanity are much more complex than just an individual or through a single lens - but for Turing we are going to make an exception. From his theoretical Turing Machine and work on the Bombe to break Nazi Enigma codes during World War II, to his contributions in the field of Artificial Intelligence (before it was even called that, Alan Turing helped inspire the first generation of computer scientists - despite a life tragically cut short. Special thanks to Contributing Writer Robert Xiao whom we should have (and forgot) to include in the credits. His help with this episode was invaluable. Ps. Have you had the chance to play the Grace Hopper game we made in episode 12. Check it out here!

The thing about the Turing Test is a machine that can pass it can never fail, where as myself as a human can chose to fail the Turing Test. Give me one right now and I will fail it, give me the same test and I can show that I can pass it, thus proving I am human. Where as a computer program that can pass a turrong test cannot chose to fail, thus failing at imitating human responses where as one that couldn't pass the test simple fails.

I'm not trying to underestimate how cruel was to punish him for being gay but it has more into it than just being gay. They simply wanted to get rid of him because of his secret knowledge of the government and decrypt any hidden messages from authorities. They needed him to share his idea and once he did they bullied him like many other scientists in history to be vanished.

Humanity nature have been designing for living and reproduction their own gene, not to accept the fact that humanity-s future is death.
Humanity-s intelligent is a natural selection designed Turing machine.
- original from AeeBeeCee read psychology books, I don-t know where is it original from either and lazy to find out, sorry: /

thank you for mentioning the tragedy that lies beneath and build / lead up to his demise
and even though this isn't news to me, it was very important for me to hear about it in a format like the one you are providing
so yeah, thanks again: )

10: 00 What? Enigma decoding shortened the war by years? Seriously? Let me ask HOW!
It maybe to some extent reduced British losses on water and in the air, but the war outcome has been decided on land at Eastern front.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone can explain how a microwave is Turing complete? Is it because it can receive inputs and change state? I thought I understood the idea of a Turing completeness but now I'm not so sure.

Think of all the amazing things he could have discoverd if society didn't hate gay people. Thank you so much for mentioning his story. Also, thannk you for your amazing courses and explanations.

I can not understand why they call bizzaro a turing machine because it totally reversed the answer and in that way answers always become paradox IF ANYONE KNOW ABOUT IT THEN PLSSS EXPLAIN
reply

so for the Turing machine, this device has at least 2 memory modules the state and the infinity long tape, read write head, and processing rules module associating with 2 memory modules.

Such a useless video even having all the information. The focus of the lady is on the beautification of words rather than making us understand the concept.
