fedi what is arguably the least complex turing complete integrated circuit?

i mean not as a proof of concept thing but, an actual part sold and used regularly

@lucy hmm what do you mean by ~simple~ least complex?
Because like... turing machines have memory, and that's not very simple...
(tbh I struggle with turing machines on paper so electronics devices are even less abstract which makes it less simple)

@bunni simple as in low transistor count or whatever. thinking about a tattoo

@lucy ohhh for a tattoo bunThink
So simple as in, can fit in a tattoo and be explained I guess

@bunni snacks said 555 and tbh holy shit yes it's a good idea

@snacks @lucy nice owo
Yes that's simpler than turing machine circuit board 🤣 it would be too complex for tattoo otherwise
Honestly this one might also be too complex, hope you can find an easy enough one

Another thing you could do is design your own circuit board
Could be nice

@snacks @bunni i could just get a block diagram, it's probably more recognizable anyway

@lucy @snacks eheh in that case turing machine is possible if you abstract enough
I have designed a small computer like that in the past (on a program that simulates a circuit board), so it's for sure doable
Though... might be too big...

@mia @snacks @lucy mmh but it's less cool
It looks like a spider
(No offense to spiders, they're cute)

@mia @bunni @snacks @lucy It's not Turing complete though? It can be used to implement logic gates, but that's hilarious overengineering: https://hackaday.io/project/183516-555-timer-functional-complete-logic-gates

@lucy @snacks (btw try to avoid transparency in pics. On my client it shows on black background so it's just a black screen eheh
It's ok tho I opened the pic on web browser and it showed the diagram)

>touring machine
what about this one

@affine @mia @lucy @snacks honestly that would also look cool in some way

@mia @bunni @snacks why not as a tattoo?
