Ask HN: Is Google or Facebook turing complete?

1 点作者 techart将近 10 年前
Or perhaps a better question would be something along the lines of - is social graph or page rank turing complete?

Wikipedia defines Turing completeness like this: &quot;A system of data-manipulation rules (such as a computer&#x27;s instruction set, a programming language, or a cellular automaton) is said to be Turing complete ... if it can be used to simulate any single-taped Turing machine.&quot; [1]<p>A social graph is just a list of pairs of people (&quot;A knows B&quot;, &quot;B knows C&quot;), so I&#x27;m not sure how the concept of Turing completeness could apply to it. There is no computational model inherent in it. It doesn&#x27;t manipulate data - it is just data (that can be manipulated by any number of algorithms that run on Turing complete computers).<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Turing_completeness" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Turing_completeness</a>
