Have you heard of Alan Turing?
It is the centenary of his birth on 23rd June.
There was a post here today which attracted no comments. So I tried again with a link to
http://www.turingcentenary.eu/
and a long comment. Again, the same thing. Not a single comment or upvote. You had never seen a topic disappear off the front page so fast. It was long gone before I even had the time to finish my comment.
So now I am just curious. Have you heard of him? Do you care? Is he just another foreign/irrelevant/faggot (tick all that apply).
- crisnoble 14y agoOf course I've heard of him, anyone who hasn't can get a quick overview here: http://www.radiolab.org/blogs/radiolab-blog/2012/mar/19/turing-problem/ http://www.radiolab.org/blogs/radiolab-blog/2012/mar/19/turi...
- reiz 14y agoOf course. I studied computer science in Germany and Alan Turing was a fundamental element of the study. Learning how the turing machine is working was mandatory. I studied from 2000 - 2005.
