1. The Turing Test should be called the Descartes Test.
2. Before LeCun (who won the Turing Award in 2018), Japanese AI pioneer Fukushima had already published the fundamental CNN architecture in 1979.
3. In 1972, Shun-Ichi Amari improved the Lenz-Ising cyclic architecture into an adaptive form, modifying connection weights to learn and associate input patterns with output patterns. This later became known as the Hopfield network, but Hopfield (who won the Turing Award in 1986) only published his work 10 years later and did not cite Shun-Ichi Amari’s contributions!
4. The earliest work on deep learning originated in Ukraine, not elsewhere. In 1965, Ukrainian scholars Alexey Ivakhnenko and Valentin Lapa introduced the first general and effective learning algorithm for a deep multilayer perceptron (MLP), capable of including any number of hidden layers (which already included the now-popular multiplicative gates). A 1971 paper described a deep learning network with 8 layers, and these methods are still widely used today. Many pioneering works in the field of machine learning originated from Eastern Europe.

1. The Debian organization deserves to be mentioned on the list because the architecture of modern Linux distributions stems from it.
2. There is a lack of content related to embedded systems on the list, which is a vast field for both Linux and BSD-based systems, as they exist in billions of devices. In this regard, I am the creator of Busybox. Subsequent developers have done a lot of work and have also created uClibC and buildroot.
3. Additionally, regarding OpenSSL, Eric A. Young's work on SSLEay was overlooked, even though OpenSSL was derived from it. These contributions and fields should be considered.

1. The ARM development work in the 1980s was carried out by a team at Acorn Computers Limited, led by Sophie Wilson and me. The original name was "Acorn RISC Machine," later changed to Advanced RISC Machines. I suggest replacing "Advanced RISC Machines" on the list with "Acorn Computers."
2. In the "Top 100 Contributions to Chips" list, although Sophie Wilson and I were former students at the University of Cambridge, during the development of ARM, we were both employees of Acorn Computers. I recommend correcting "University of Cambridge" to "Acorn Computers."
3. Additionally, the University of Manchester has made significant contributions to computer development, including the world's first stored-program computer, the "Baby" machine, and the invention of virtual memory. These contributions have been recognized by the IEEE Milestone Award. From a British perspective, Manchester's contributions should be considered as important as those of Cambridge.

1. I note in your list that you only give 3 names for founding of the Apache Software Foundation in 1999, but there were in fact around 25 people in that initial creation (including me), so highlighting just 3 is tricky, indeed, the members were from many countries (although the foundation was formed in the USA).
2. The Apache License is more tricky as by 2004 the Apache Software Foundation was much larger, so attributing it to individuals is harder, perhaps that' is also just "Apache Software Foundation".
3. I see for OpenSSL you have updated it to "Germany, UK" which is accurate.
