Great post. Minor correction regarding "Turing's most significant contributions to our story come from theoretical work in the 1950s"--he proposed the concept of the universal computer in 1936 and passed away in 1954.

Fair point. I guess I am primarily thinking about in Computing Machinery and Intelligence, which was published in 1950.

Hi, your link to the history of NIST takes me to a private page. Is this by accident?

Yep, broken link. Have updated - thanks for letting me know.
