Alan Turing proposed a test for machine intelligence in 1950. The question of whether machines can truly think remains one of the deepest in computer science.

Why it matters

The idea in context

In 1950 Alan Turing proposed judging machine intelligence by conversation: if you can't tell a machine from a person, does the difference matter? The question still shapes AI.

Alan Turing 1950'de makine zekâsı için bir test önerdi. Makinelerin gerçekten düşünüp düşünemeyeceği sorusu, bilgisayar biliminin en derin sorularından biri olmaya devam ediyor.
Alan Turing

1950'de Alan Turing, makine zekâsını sohbetle ölçmeyi önerdi: Bir makineyi bir insandan ayırt edemiyorsan, fark önemli mi? Bu soru hâlâ yapay zekâyı biçimlendiriyor.

Q0411
WonderTechnology

The Apollo Guidance Computer flew astronauts to the Moon with about 4 KB of working memory — your phone has roughly a million times more.

The AGC had about 4 KB of RAM, 72 KB of fixed 'rope core' memory, and ran at roughly 1 MHz — less computing power than a musical greeting card. Yet in 1969 it steered Apollo 11 across 380,000 km, ran the landing radar, and even recovered gracefully from overload alarms minutes before touchdown. The story is not about weak hardware; it is about what disciplined engineering, compact code and ruthless prioritising can do under impossible constraints.
