French computer terms can be divided into 3 categories. In most cases, the French equivalent is literal translation English term. Sometimes even hardcore conservatives French are lost, and so such terms become commonplace.

The entry of slang into the language

The internet is weird because people either use it with the article in front or they don't. To accident = "planter". . One thing that some of you may not be aware of is that the French keyboard has a different key layout than what you are used to.

It is commonly said that computers "don't think", a task reserved for the machine programmer's system. However, journalism often disseminates information about the so-called "fifth generation of computers", from which it can be expected that such a degree of perfection will make them really "smart". What does "fifth generation computer" mean? What can you expect from this?

To answer this question, we must first define what we mean by "machine". Usually, when a person is not an expert in this field and does not talk about a machine, he refers to a physical machine, which is known in jargon as hardware, that is, a set of circuits and devices that make up a computer. The concept of a machine for a specialist is something else. The machine, from this point of view, is a set formed by hardware and certain programs that the specialist "sees" at the level at which he works.


And this is not a complete list, which can be continued without end and edge.

Send your good work in the knowledge base is simple. Use the form below

For example, a mathematician who has a computer "loaded" with a program to solve equations can "see" the whole as a machine that solves it. In contrast, the chief of staff who uses the calculation program on the same computer "sees" the machine that does the calculations. Suppose now that someone builds, using a program that solves equations, a new program for calculating the trajectories of a projectile; this person will "see" another machine, formed in turn by three others: physics that solves equations and one that calculates trajectories.

Students, graduate students, young scientists who use the knowledge base in their studies and work will be very grateful to you.

    One of the reasons most often used to claim that machines do not think that a physical machine is very stupid, because it can only perform a small set of very elementary operations, and someone has to load into it a program, that is, a recipe that instructs you about what operations to perform. To refer to this reason, it's like saying that man is a bit of an important machine since he is formed by a combination of atoms that doesn't even include all of the periodic tables.

    The question should be, so can you write a program that, together with specific hardware, is a machine that thinks? Metaphorically, can God write a program that makes a machine think? The drug is overly ambiguous. What do we understand in this context by thinking? Obviously, the answer is not only outside the scope of this explanation, but also in the field of computer science. However, we may venture not a definition of thinking, but the connotation is usually given to this term when applied to machines.

    We will say, in the form of a proposal, that "thinking" can solve any problem. The problem here is the relationship between data and results. In this context, solving it means providing an expression of one or more functions that allow the results to be calculated. In light of these narrow definitions of "thinking" and "problem", the question can be expressed as follows: is it possible to write a program that, given any problem, can build and compute its solutions? This is an unambiguous question, and even those who disagree with the narrow definitions of the terms "think" and "problem" will agree that if the answer is no, there will still be some definitions in question.

    Having reformulated the reader's question in order to provide an answer, we must analyze a few basic concepts of computer theory. Turing designed a machine capable of computing certain types of functions called recursive functions. Here machine means "abstract calculation mechanism", not something palpable with keys, circuits, etc. What is the Turing machine's interest in the problem? Whatever calculation mechanism is built, it will have the same processing power as a Turing machine, i.e. it will be able to calculate only computable Turing functions.

    The implications of the Church's thesis are irrefutable: whatever machine we build through software and hardware, it will only compute Turing computational functions. This doesn't mean that building complex machines doesn't make sense, since no one would think of eliminating wages or solving complex equations using a Turing machine. Similar organic chemistry has its own epistemological status, even when the phenomena it deals with can be explained in terms of subatomic particles.

    The significance of the Turing machine and the Church's chronology is to impose a theoretical limit on the computing power of the machine in the same style as some found in physics, such as the inability to reach the speed of light, or to violate the conservation principle electric charge. In terms of our metaphor: if God wrote a program as complex as she would like, as difficult as it would be, she could only compute Turing computational functions. We said that there are non-Turing computable functions; so those problems that have only non-Turing computable solutions are untreatable on any machine.

    The scope of the theses of the Church is greater than it might seem. In the same way, Borges' library of the Babylonian tale contains in its volumes all the words that can be written in the Arabic alphabet, and yet one cannot read Hamlet without knowing a priori what Hamlet is saying. In the case of a machine, the problem is what is called "decidability": the ability to mechanically determine whether an object has a given property.

    Metaphorical and functional transfer

    As the reader already suspects, there are properties that cannot be resolved. In particular, ownership of the problem of having computable Turing solutions is not decidable. From what has been said here, we can conclude that the answer to the question: “Can you write a program that, together with certain hardware, is a machine that, given any problem, can build and calculate a solution for it?” this is not true. Moreover, no matter how much we restrict our definition of "thinking", such thinking, if it is "automatic thinking", will be limited by Turing's computational ability.

    If God decides to write an "intelligent" program, that "mind" will be limited for the same reason. Answering this part of the question, let's turn to the second, that is, to the fifth generation computer? However, we have already seen that there are important differences between a program written directly using the instructions of a Turing machine and one written using the "instructions" of a machine that solves complex equations. For our purpose, we do not need to discuss all existing ones, and we will limit ourselves to trying to explain what the imperative paradigm and the inferential one are.
