  1. Re:A clock cycle away from AI? on Machines Almost Pass Mass Turing Test · · Score: 1

    Pretending disability is a common stunt, but it doesn't prove the chatterbot any more capable. The bots that do things like pretend to be a 13 year old who doesn't understanding English well are blatently attempting to lower the bar. I myself can emulate a briliant 50 year old nobel prize winner with three doctorates as long as he can also be deaf, mute, and inflicted with turrett's and schizophrenia.

    Its already happening. On many dating sites you can find scripted e-mail bots that send the same set of e-mails. They start with "lonely hottie yadda yadda", ignore all answers except to note that an answer was sent, and by e-mail number twenty they're talking about how they need money to save their dying little sister. All fully automated.

    Might I reccommend the four year college University of Maryland University College. They have a vast collection of electronic texts and one can access any of them while taking a (distance education) course. Just keep up your GPA and for the price of 1/4 time school you can access any journal you want. I have yet to find something (excepting textbooks) that I couldn't get either online or e-mailed to me. I personally intend to keep taking courses after I graduate just for the fact that its worlds cheaper than buying books on stuff I need to know. Disclaimer: I will in no way benefit from you having this information.

    It doesn't seem like there would be a sudden phase change in every part of the condensate. I bet there would be a tiny explosion here and there as little bits of it explode. It would manifest as a slight outgassing.

  14. Re:A toast on On Fourth Launch Attempt, SpaceX Falcon 1 Reaches Orbit · · Score: -1, Redundant

    It's like a car. The first mechanically propelled vehicles were military ones, made by governments. Troop trains, steam ships, and so forth. There were very few of them and they were very expensive.

    Next, someone put a steam engine into a moving carriage and a rich guy wanted to try it out, so he bought one. That commercal exchange marked the beggining of car sales. When the maker of that primitive automobile saw that he could make money selling them, he began to make more, and to find other rich guys to buy them. And when someone else saw that money was to be made selling cars, he made a whole factory for them.

    While its true that the 1900s saw expensive, unreliable cars, the 1920s saw massive mobilization of a whole society. That first commercial transaction was the herald of our current urbanized environment.

    You're the kind of guy who would point out the first pre-Ford cars and say, "Almost thirty-one years after the steam truck, the private sector catches up, sort of. Woo-hoo, Urban America here we come."

  17. fourth branch of government on Studies Say Ideology Trumps Facts · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The American media has a good deal of power, and that power carries a good deal of responsibility. When the media creates false debates, unreasoned arguments, and promotes trivia above important things, they abuse that power. A single newsperson instilling spin into a popular story has done more evil than many purse-snatchers.

    I speak of the American media because I don't understand enough of the rest of the world's media to comment.
