Lecture 14: The Turing Test - Richard Buckland UNSW

[@noodletrooper]

man, I want a prof or all my profs to be like you, your classes are SO interesting :)

[@subzerohackmaster]

Beautiful, just beautiful. I wish I could get the opportunity to go to this school.

[@tverwaes]

Nice lectures! Just one comment on this one: you can use counter++ as a value as well. It is a postcrement so it will return the original value while setting the counter to the next one. ++counter would return the new value as it is a precrement.

was just checking out The Science Show that richard was talking about, and their last show was actually about Alan Turing. how cool is that??

[@cpsnell]

Created with the greatest of e's he says [26:09], which is a very nice pun ("greatest of ease).

Thanks for uploading the audio clip :-)

Hahaha the guy at the end, "is there such a thing a xcode for windows" made me laugh

[@martinledermann1862]

+GoinHamSince97 Me too, but it's cool that Richard has patience for all sorts of questions. :D

This prof is awesome>> he knows how to teach

[@travisSimon365]

@tverwaes: he knows that it is legal c code, but he's saying that it is not allowed int the course.

[@AlanZeino]

@faunflynn so why hasn't a single 'A.I.' passed the test?

[@DaveReeseII]

I also am trying to make out the name of the book he recommended we buy.... please help if you know the title...thanks!

[@jimtayler555]

[@junito24291]

[@dobraOsoba]

int plainchar = getchar () ; while(plainchar != EOF){ if(plainchar != ' ') printf("[%c] ", plainchar) ; plainchar = getchar() ; }

too true sadly about australian conservatism. had oz had a gay war hero of such great contribution they could well have been persecuted also. but that in no sense excuses the utterly shameful treatment he received. mechanical or electric makes no difference as to whether it is a "computer" (indeed the theme of this lecture!) eg babbage's analytical engine was more a computer than colossus was. turing contributed to the automation of computation but did not build a computer at bletchley park
