| Nov 1, 2019 at 2:22 | comment | added | Ronald | @StopHarmingMonica IIRC, Turing’s article on the universal computing machine predates Von Neumann’s architecture proposal by almost a decade (1936 vs 1945 IIRC) and Von Neumann knew about Turing and his work. I agree that modern computers are nothing like the model Turing described, but “no relationship” is a bit of an exaggeration... | |
