Conversations with an Artificial Intelligence: What Is a Computer?

We write blogs to communicate ideas, but most people spend their lives in conversations.

As a software engineer, I wanted to go back and re-learn primitives and first principles of computer science. Instead of writing a post about "What is a computer?", I thought this conversation could be much more effective for me and others to think about this question differently. Plus, revising primitives always helps you strengthen and build on your current knowledge.

This post was heavily inspired by the work of Kirk Ouimet.
