Alan Turing’s Delilah Project During the war, Turing realized that cryptology’s new frontier was going to be the encryption of speech. The existing wartime cipher machines—such as the Japanese “ ...
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 ...
For something that has been around since the 1930s and is so foundational to computer science, you’d think that the Turing machine, an abstraction for mechanical computation, would be easily ...
When the German military surrendered unconditionally on 8 May 1945, many in Britain savored the first taste of peace. But for Alan Turing and his young assistant Donald Bayley, it was just another day ...
When he invented Turing machines in 1936, Alan Turing also invented modern computing. In 1928, the German mathematicians David Hilbert and Wilhelm Ackermann proposed a question called the ...
We’re not in the habit of recommending Kickstarter projects here at Hackaday, but when prototype hardware shows up on our desk, we just can’t help but play with it and write it up for the readers. And ...
