A Computer That Runs on Marbles

Ойын-сауық

In this video I show you a device called Turing Tumble that is an actual working computer with real logic. I show you how it can count, add, subtract and even multiply. I talk about how computers can do simple things very fast.

Artificial intelligence is just a commercial sticker that makes sales easier. We are nowhere near real artificial intelligence, although machines are very convincing in their intelligence simulations. So it should be called an intelligence simulator (SI), not AI. It will take a very long time for real artificial intelligence to appear with its own artificial ego.

    Note: A Turing machine is a *theoretical* machine that operates with infinite memory. It’s not a real machine, but rather a mathematical construct used to classify what types of problems can be solved by a machine. I think the word you are looking for is *turing complete*. Any machine (or programming language) that is Turing complete can be said to simulate a Turing machine and thus be able to solve the same types of problems.

    This was a fun video! Technically, it's powered by gravity _with_ marbles... but I know what you mean, I've seen a large scale version of one at the Maker Faire it was a lot of fun to watch and teaches aspects of computer architecture... having taught this subject myself in California State University, I can say that you make this subject matter accessible to everyone, including young viewers, and wish I had all this when I was growing up. My first exposure to binary was during a visit to the Exploratorium in San Francisco. I was about 8 yrs old and there was an interactive exhibit (they all were) with switches and lights and I self-taught myself (nobody around to explain how it worked) but I had fun learning how to play the conversion game... when I figured it out it was like a lightning bolt of inspiration that hit me... you're doing good work here on You Tube...

    Computer science undergrad here, the way they did it is building abstractions over abstractions, with a bunch of transistors you can make logical gates, once you have logical gates, you don't care about transistors anymore, and you work with logical gates, you then build operations with the logical gates, and stop worrying about the gates, you start talking about operations (sums, rests, multiplications) you then go on building more complex operations using the operations you have, when a programmer works with a computer, he usually works with the complex stuff others have built for him

    That because its not sth one person do. Maybe there are someone out there who study this thing alot. But originally, computer was simple and it getting more complex and complex by different smart people over the century. So unlese u are as smart as hundred of smart people combine, u cant do all of that alone. They create abstraction for complex stuff. So instead of coding from the core itself of 0 and 1. People create a program that are more user friendly to us. For example: operating system like Window10. Then within that program, people create a program to create another program for example: Unity, a software that ppl use to create game. Then inside the game, some developer allow user to create their own level. Its just abstraction within abstraction

    Interesting facts: - both with addition and subtraction, the left register always decrements and the right register increments or decrements, respectively. - flippers setup for incrementing is the exact mirror of that for decrementing. - incrementing setup is made so: --- top most bit (most insignificant bit) flipper always flip --- any bit that happens to flip to the right (0 -> 1) takes a route to avoid all bits below it --- any bit that happens to flip to the left (1 -> 0) flips the bit immediately below.

    "They can only do one thing at a time" -- Sorta, I mean, most modern processors have more than one core. There are also things like hyperthreading that bridge the gap between single and multiple simultaneous operations, and SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) instructions that do multiple operations in parallel. Plus, expansion cards/peripheral devices are generally not constrained by the CPU - so your GPU, sound card, hard drive, and so forth are all doing operations simultaneously, too. Modern computers are complex. :)

    7:23 Actually this isn't true. Modern CPUs do something called hyperthreading where they can send multiple instructions to the ALU at once and it will perform those simultaneously on different gate arrays. For example, if the ALU has 2 adder circuits and 1 multiplier circuit, it can add two sets of numbers and multiply another set of numbers simultaneously (assuming it also has enough registers to hold the data).
