Alan Turing Decoded: An Evening with Sir Dermot Turing (ENIGMA)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- Famous codebreaker and computer scientist Alan Turing’s legend has grown through books and films such as The Imitation Game, and it has become a challenge to discern the real man from the story.
Now, Alan Turing’s nephew, Sir Dermot Turing, has taken a fresh look at the influences on Alan Turing’s life and creativity in his new biography Prof: Alan Turing Decoded.
As a family member and a trustee of Bletchley Park, the UK headquarters for codebreaking during WWII, Dermot Turing has a fresh perspective on this extraordinary man. The author will share the insights he gained from secret documents only recently released and other sources not tapped by previous biographers including Turing’s letters to his close friend writer, scholar, and editor Nick Furbank. Join us for a unique look at a true genius.

The Turing intelligence and analytical ability of Dermot Turing shows through as he describes the life and work of his uncle. Much of the information presented is new to me and fills in so many gaps that I didn’t even know existed. The connections to America is especially interesting to me.
For Rejewski's sake, the speaker, Dermot Turing, wrote a book about (mostly about) Polish codebreakers' effort, called , which is heavily endorsed by Polish embassy (thus the country), so next time you copypasting "Brits taking every credit" would you consider that part of the story, pretty please
Nice English humour. Thank You.
Indeed, a wonderful talk!
Alan Turing literally saved the world with his machine
It was Polish mathematecians and engineers that cracked it. They built the prototype of the machine. There are photos and papers to prove it.
Also don't forget Tutte and Flowers. They broke the code of German high command's communications and sniffed messages from Hitler himself!
Quite fascinating.....
15:00 I find it quite remarkable that he was explaining how a universal computing machine could play go, in 1936 and in 2016 (80 years later) it actually happened in the form of deepmind's alphago
Great presentation about a Great Man. How many lives did he save?
Given it is estimated breaking the Enigma codes shortened the war by 2 years and there were an estimated 20k casualties of war daily (world-wide) that's an estimated 14.6 MILLION lives saved-mostly civilians.
Amazing ☮️
Where can I find Turing's poem/s? I can't seem to locate them. I'm sure codebreakers often find themselves down the rabbit-hole of linguistics, subject, object, form, mathematics. Alice in Wonderland. =)
...a slippery salivating interest in ovoidless mates.
Good for him.
Enigma was invented by German (not Nzis). It was deciphered by Poles. And Brits with Turing having much greater resources improved on it.
@Benny Hill Poles broke the commercial enigma, and had started on the military design(s) when they had to exfiltrate the research due to the invasion
@Benny Hill 11111
Various (but not all) Enigma's flaws were corrected by the Germans during that period, to the point that the Polish techniques weren't effective by the time Britain joined the war. Turing and the Bletcheley team had to invent brand new methods to add over the Polish ones and finally re-crack Enigma once and for all.
this is so cool
I hope you see this Dermot, and I hope you are keeping well. I remember the day you first used an Enigma when I was at BP
This is brilliant!
VERY INTRIGUING
At 50:34 the truth is out. At last a person who can explain this individual from the distance of dispassion with the closeness of family. All the matters of mathematical study of biological DNA memory and fractal outcomes were already there. Turing. But much grace to you sir for appropriating the misfortune in this that was dumped on Rosalind Franklin. Watson and Crick have something to answer for. DNA, yes. But the total disappearance of the work of Turing and Franklin.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost the password. I love any tricks you can give me
@Guillermo Maison instablaster =)
@Mathew Wesson Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Mathew Wesson it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account!
@Guillermo Maison Glad I could help =)
interesting
5:03 A white square? I do hope it improves.
Why so many dislikes? I need an equation describing this phenomenon, otherwise it is not logic to my brain.
If that were my family I would more forcefully condemn the prosecution. There would be no hormone therapy without the prosecution. Compute that.
Enigma was cracked by Polish mathematicians and engineers. And they built the prototype of Enigma machine. There are photos and papers proving it.
The Poles Figuren out the Commercial Enigma but couldnt work on the Military versions the brits hat the ressourcen to do so.
I'm pretty sure this is an Elon musk deep fake LOL
Not a fluent talk.
Coded!
Alan Turing is nothing to do with America u can't say that because of a movie he was born in England and killed in England
I don't mean to be rude , but if you know anything about Alan you should know that he worked at Princeton and had contacts with America through out his life :)
@@elleauden805 Sorry Elie, you don't understand, you should know that Hollywood is always the correct answer.
Bullshit.
