Wakka Wakka! This Turing Machine Plays Pac-Man

Cars That Think

As I read the newest papers about DNA-based computing , I had to confront a rather unpleasant truth. Despite being a geneticist who also majored in computer science, I was struggling to bridge two concepts—the universal Turing machine , the very essence of computing, and the von Neumann architecture , the basis of most modern CPUs. I had written C++ code to emulate the machine described in Turing’s 1936 paper , and could use it to decide, say, if a word was a palindrome.

My plants are almost certainly happier this way, and therefore I don’t have to feel guilty about my hands-off approach.

The original, hulking Cybertruck prototype unveiled in 2019 featured a steering yoke that is very similar to what was eventually released for the new Model S and Model X.
