well, two leaders showed how solving a set problem is also equivalent to a nondeterministic Turing machine. This video is the best one yet for explaining this conundrum:
ever wonder if#NP^= ? How Kinsolving one problem in the class#NPComplete solve all of them at once?

Turing Award Honors Bob Metcalfe for Invention, Standardization, and Commercialization of Ethernet

"In 1973, while a computer scientist at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), Metcalfe circulated a now-famous memo describing a “broadcast communication network” for connecting some of the first personal computers, PARC’s Altos, within a building. The first Ethernet ran at 2.94 megabits per second, which was about 10,000 times faster than the terminal networks it would replace."

David is holding the 0th Ethernet NIC that the two of them built at Xerox Parc in 1973. The 0th Ethernet transceiver is on the table.

Congratulations. 🙂

"[Bob] Metcalfe was named the winner of the A.M. Turing Award, an annual prize considered the highest honor in computer science, for his part in ushering in our hyperconnected age. Fifty years ago, Metcalfe helped invent Ethernet, the local networking technology that links personal computers around the world to the global internet"
