  3. Re:April Fools' Day on When an AI Tries Writing Slashdot Headlines (tumblr.com) · · Score: 1

    Now that I think of it, it's much harder than that. Humor is arguably the next frontier in Artificial Intelligence. It requires mastery of "sophisticated functions like self-awareness, empathy, spontaneity, and linguistic subtlety". An AI that generates jokes might actually be a level above AlphaGo or Stockfish.

    Come April Fools, let's separately train the AI on the previous years' April Fools' headlines, and let's see what it generates...

    I used slack/freebsd as my desktop from 1999 to 2013... until i became a PHP programmer. such things as installing kwrite/gedit became very difficult. i like installing LAMP on slack/freebsd but in lubuntu/mint it is just one command... performance wise slack/freebsd is about 1.5-3x faster than mintxfce/lubuntu but the installations are very painful.

  19. Re:Sounds like Slackware to me. on Outlining Thin Linux · · Score: 0

    Aahh, slackware. Last time i used it, it was 13.0. very stable like FreeBSD. Never crashed. Nowadays, I use linux mint and lubuntu. I need a desktop, you know :)
