comment How do "lecturers" differ from "professors" in large universities?
Note: Some universities have a career lecturer/teaching professor track. At such universities, you can be promoted to "senior lecturer", and although this doesn't come with tenure, it switches over to something more like a 5 year contract instead of a 1 year contract, and the intent is to allow people to stay at the university long term.

comment Can Turing Machine implements Strong AI?
If "Strong AI" means coding a Turing Machine to simulate -you-, then certainly if this is possible, you cannot solve the halting problem (since you are a Turing Machine). I think at least among computer scientists, this would be the majority view of the world: that (a), strong AI is possible, and that therefore (b), humans are no better than Turing machines at solving undecidable problems.

comment Was the reason that Computers were invented to solve a philosophical question about the foundations of mathematics?
George Dyson's book, "Turings Cathedral" (which despite the title is a history of Von Neumann and his development of the computer) suggests that Von Neumann was fond of Turing, and very aware of his work, and that the similarity is no accident.
