Lovelace was essentially dismissive of the idea that a machine such as the Analytical Engine could think in a humanlike way.

To make a Turing machine that speaks Chinese, Searle gets in a room stocked with algorithms programmed to respond to Chinese questions, i. e., Turing machines, programmed to correctly answer in Chinese questions asked in Chinese, and he finds he's able to process the inputs to outputs perfectly without having any understanding of Chinese, nor having any idea what the questions and answers could possibly mean.

:"< sup >†</ sup > We shall use the expression ' computable function ' to mean a function calculable by a machine, and let ' effectively calculable ' refer to the intuitive idea without particular identification with any one of these definitions.

The first ( retroactively ) RISC-labeled processor ( IBM 801-IBMs Watson Research Center, mid-1970s ) was a tightly pipelined simple machine originally intended to be used as an internal microcode kernel, or engine, in CISC designs, but also became the processor that introduced the RISC idea to a somewhat larger public.

However, the machine also extended the idea of multiple " General Purpose Registers " ( GPRs ), which gave the programmer flexibility to use these high-speed memory caches as they needed, potentially addressing the performance issues.

J. H. Müller, an engineer in the Hessian army, conceived of the idea of a difference machine.

His initial idea was to use punch-cards to control a machine that could calculate and print logarithmic tables with huge precision ( a special purpose machine ).

These weapons were still powered by hand ; however, this changed with Hiram Maxim's idea of harnessing recoil energy to power reloading in his Maxim machine gun.

The idea of a " simple machine " originated with the Greek philosopher Archimedes around the 3rd century BC, who studied the " Archimedean " simple machines: lever, pulley, and screw.

The idea that forty men on a boat are exterminated in seconds by a volley of machine gun fire is terrifying.
