Podcasts about turing machines

Send us a textA tale of secret codes and early computers! Alan Turing was a British mathematician and thinker who helped turn the tide of World War II for the United Kingdom and its allies. His groundbreaking work also laid the foundation for much of the technology we use today. As a child, Alan loved solving puzzles—like tracking the patterns of bees—and as a teen, he spent many late nights working through challenging math problems. From imagining the Turing Machine to cracking the uncrackable Enigma Code, Alan's story is one of brilliance, perseverance, and bravery. He didn't always fit in, but his unique way of thinking changed the world.Go to the episode webpage: https://jonincharacter.com/alan-turing/              Get a free activity guide on Alan Turing: https://dorktalesstorytime.aweb.page/ep112freePDF If you enjoyed this story about Alan Turing, you may also enjoy learning about Mary Golda Ross, another STEM hero of history whose early work in space exploration helped put humans into space: https://jonincharacter.com/mary-golda-ross/ CREDITS: Hidden Heroes of History is a Jonincharacter production.

AI can do many things equally well as humans: such as writing plausible prose or answering exam questions. In certain domains, AI goes far beyond human capabilities — playing chess for instance.We might expect that nothing prevents machines from one day besting humans at every task. Indeed, it is often asserted that, in principle, everything (and more) within the range of human cognition will one day fall within the ken of AI.But what if there are concepts and ways of thinking that are off-limits to any machine, yet not so for humans? Selmer Bringsjord, Professor in Cognitive Science at RPI joins us this week and argues we need to rethink human thought.Selmer argues that humans have been able to grasp problems that machines cannot — humans are capable of hypercomputation. Hypercomputation is computation above the Turing limit, as such it can solve problems beyond the power of any machine we can currently conceive.In particular, Turing computation cannot encompass infinitary logic, yet humans have been able to reason effectively about the infinite. Similarly, Gödel's theorem points to a class of riddles machines cannot reach, yet human genius has identified.This is a huge topic, accepting Selmer's arguments entails accepting that human minds work in a way that evades our understanding — their mechanisms obeying mechanics of which we are wholly ignorant.Whether or not you agree with Selmer's conclusions, this is a brilliant exploration of the boundaries of thought.Links Selmer's Academic Homepage RPI AI and Reasoning Lab (RAIR)

Here we are in October, improbably enough, and while the leaves start to fall as the goblins begin to gather, Elliot and Dan took a break from the madness to talk about all the wonderful hacks that graced our pages this week. If there was a theme this week, it was long-term projects, like the multiple years one hacker spent going down dead ends in the quest for DIY metal 3D printing. Not to be outdone, another hacker spent seven years building a mirrorless digital camera that looks like a commercial product. And getting a solderless PCB to do the blinkenlight thing took a long time too. Looking to eliminate stringing in your 3D prints? Then you'll want to avoid the "pause and attach" approach, which intentionally creates strings in your prints. Wondering if you can 3D print bearings? You can, but you probably shouldn't unless you have a particular use in mind. And what happens when you have an infinitely large supply of Lego? Why, you build a Turing machine on steroids, of course. Finally, we take a look at this week's "Can't-Miss" articles with a look into plastic recycling and why we can't have nice things yet, and we take a trip out into orbit and examine the ins and outs of Lagrange points. And a little mea culpa from the editing desk: Sorry the podcast is coming out late this week. Audacity ate my files. If you're ever in a similar circumstance, you can probably halfway save your bacon with audacity-project-tools. Ask me how I know. Check out the links over at Hackaday.

RobChrisRob unified once again to talk through a working LEGO turing machine on the ideas website that I'm sure we'll never see into production, the russian drone shot down over Ukraine with a Starlink antenna, Elno dumping space trash on Cards Against Humanity's property, AI discovering new Nazca lines, the WordPress drama, OpenAI Shenanigans, and a bit of Agatha All Along.

In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm is a finite sequence of mathematically rigorous instructions, typically used to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation. Most people understand them to be a process that drives media, specifically social media, by connecting people's likes, wants and desires in entertainment. Joel breaks down the complex ideas of what algorithms do from Alan Turing's Turing Machine and Turing Test, the difference between narrow and general artificial intelligence and AI's ability to replace humans. He then goes into the industries that artificial intelligence is set to take over, from the military industrial complex to all forms of media.  Website: https://linktr.ee/joelthomasmedia Follow: Instagram | X | Facebook Watch: YouTube | Rumble Music: YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music Films: merkelfilms.com Email: freetherabbitspodcast@gmail.com Distributed by: merkel.media Produced by: @jack_theproducer OUTRO MUSIC Joel Thomas - Adiós YouTube | Apple | Spotify

Hi all, welcome to episode 87 of The Last Standee Podcast! This episode we cover a bit of everything, starting from the Standee Catch-up with Cara, Alessio and Alexis. After catching up, it's time to decrypt cyphers with Alexis, who introduces us to Turing Machine, a very good "multiplayer solo" puzzle game with sort-of-programmable states (do you see the tech imprint in this intro? The game's good if you are into puzzles, don't worry). Next, there's a true solo game, with recent Unreliable Wizard reprint by Salt and Pepper games (give me a subscription to Kamibayashi games!) and its fake 16-bit pixel goodness - yeah, no way those sprites that big would fit 8-bit engines. Finally, it's time for a very special episode of Cara's Reviews, with Artisans of Splendent Vale, a daring attempt at mixing compartmented campaign story with unique characters' viewpoints and clever asymmetric resource management. Is this enough to kindle your curiosity?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Claude 3 Opus can operate as a Turing machine, published by Gunnar Zarncke on April 18, 2024 on LessWrong. Posted on Twitter: Opus can operate as a Turing machine. given only existing tapes, it learns the rules and computes new sequences correctly. 100% accurate over 500+ 24-step solutions (more tests running). for 100% at 24 steps, the input tapes weigh 30k tokens*. GPT-4 cannot do this. Here is the prompt code for the Turing machine: https://github.com/SpellcraftAI/turing This is the fully general counterpoint to the @VictorTaelin's A::B challenge (he put money where his mouth is and got praise for that from Yudkowsky). Attention is Turing Complete was a claim already in 2021: Theorem 6 The class of Transformer networks with positional encodings is Turing complete. Moreover, Turing completeness holds even in the restricted setting in which the only non-constant values in positional embedding pos(n) of n, for n N, are n, 1/n, and 1/n2 , and Transformer networks have a single encoder layer and three decoder layer Thanks for listening.

When was the last time we had 3 games that we recommend? I don't even know and honestly I don't want to scroll down and look. We start with Furnace, an economic engine building game that really should be talked about more than it is. We then go on to Word Wolf, a popular werewolf variant from Japan! Finally, we get to the puzzle game called Turing Machine, a game definitely good for people who like logic puzzles but terrible for those who don't.   Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/4pVkZUPhJm Check out our Youtube: www.youtube.com/@TheBoardGameDojo   Support us Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BoardGameDojo Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theboardgamedojo   Follow us on: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheBGDojo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boardgamedojo/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@boardgamedojo

Quantum wormholes are mathematically possible — but might also be physically impossible. Physicist Janna Levin explains the wormhole paradox. Theoretical cosmologist Janna Levin challenges long-held assumptions about the behavior of black holes, information conservation, and the fundamental nature of space, time, and gravity. She uses black holes to explore the physical feasibility of wormholes: theoretical passages or tunnel-like structures that connect separate points in spacetime. Stephen Hawking proposed that black holes emit energy via quantum particles, causing them to eventually evaporate and challenge the conservation of information. The holographic principle suggests that information is encoded on a black hole's surface, addressing the information paradox. Levin metaphorically likens black holes to embroidery, woven from quantum threads. Her quantum perspective has profound implications, potentially altering our understanding of gravity and spacetime's fundamental nature — even questioning our pursuit of a theory of everything. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive access to full interviews, early access to new releases, Big Think merch and more ►Get Big Think+ for Business Guide, inspire and accelerate leaders at all levels of your company with the biggest minds in business -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Janna Levin: Janna Levin is a professor of physics and astronomy at Barnard College of Columbia University.

Cette semaine, on commence, comme chaque début d'année, par jeter un oeil au programme des sorties des douze mois qui viennent et on partage les jeux qui nous font déjà de l'œil. Et il n'y a pas que Zelda : Tears of the Kingdom ! On parle aussi des jeux auxquels on a joué : Melatonin, et son sens du rythme qui rappelle la référence absolue Rythm Paradise, Ixion et sa gestion très exigeante, parfois trop, d'une station orbitale et Marvel Snap qui abuse dans ses mécaniques de toutes les recettes pour accrocher et retenir les joueurs.Jérémie Kletzkine, dans sa chronique jeux de société, nous parle de Turing Machine.Chapitres (ça peut varier en fonction de la publicité) :0:00 Intro7:47 Les news 22:57 Le com des coms28:23 Les attentes 20231:17:31 La chronique Jeux de société1:21:44 Melatonin1:39:33 La minute culturelle1:45:15 Ixion2:13:49 Marvel Snap2:27:22 Et quand vous ne jouez pas, vous faites quoi ?Retrouvez toutes les chroniques de jérémie dans le podcast dédié Silence on Joue !

We're at SHUX! Well, we were, and while we were there, we tricked Tom Brewster of Shut Up & Sit Down to take time away from his busy schedule to join us on stage.

Logic-deduction board game Turing Machine challenges players to figure out a secret code using innovative punch-card verifiers that layer atop each other to "magically" reveal clues. How does it work?! We had to know, so we asked our guests from publisher Scorpion Masqué and Hachette Games to sit there and explain it to us. Oh, we also talk artwork and rulebooks, too. Topics on this episode: Christina (host): How Turing Machine was made (14:43) Matthew (guest): What makes for good or bad rulebooks? (34:51) Danni (guest): How does artwork influence gameplay? (50:12)

Not every game makes the best first impression, but some stick in your mind enough to warrant a second try. So fittingly, the first and second best hosts are here to tell you about the games that they think deserve a revisit. Before we repeat stuff, repeat stuff, we talk about Mille Fiori, Rise of the Metro, and Turing Machine. 02:05 - Mille Fiori 05:57 - Rise of the Metro 12:48 - Turing Machine 22:29 - Games that need a second chance 24:01 - Gaia Project 26:39 - Space Station Phoenix 28:34 - Twilight Imperium: Third Edition 31:01 - Root 33:15 - Ankh: Gods of Egypt 35:16 - An Infamous Traffic 35:16 - Panamax 35:16 - Maria 37:09 - Dune: Betrayal 38:10 - Beyond the Sun 40:06 - XCOM: The Board Game 41:56 - Quantum Check out our wiki at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/wiki Join the discussion at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/discord Join our Facebook group at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/facebook Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/store
