The Turing Test (as some people believe it to be): if you can have a conversation with a computer and not tell if it’s a computer, then it must be intelligent.
AI companies: writes ML model that is specifically designed to convincingly play one side of a conversation, even though it has no ability to understand the things it talks about.
I had no idea it had such a specific meaning. I heard it through Always Sunny, where it’s used as a very generic insult.
I’ve heard some similar terms from wrestling/circus terms. Is a Jabroni distinct from a “Heel” or is it basically the same thing?
Laws of thermodynamics. You can’t totally trap heat. All you can do is encourage it to spread a bit faster in one spot compared to all the other places it’s spreading.
Nuke the entire earth for spawning the species that would eventually become pirates.
It’s a known bug in Jerboa. Maybe in other clients too
Even if her gender and name adjusts the probability somewhat, it should all still be cancelled out by the order of magnitude by which the number of farmers outnumbers teachers, even in countries where a name like Paige is common. Teachers are an incredibly uncommon profession in the grand scheme of things, because it only takes a small proportion of them for a society to function (no offense intended to teachers of course)
But I will admit, I believe the original version of this thought experiment didn’t give the woman a name. I was just trying to be a bit more descriptive haha. I’m pretty sure the thought experiment also predates the level of automation that is now common in agriculture. I was mostly just reconstructing it from memory.
Edit: yeah I just looked it up and in the US there is roughly the same number of teachers and farmers (around 3.5-4 million). I guess this particular version of the thought experiment is dead. But you could construct a similar one with a more common profession. Or just pretend it’s still the 60s when you give your answer. Farming has simply become way too automated in the modern era.
Edit 2: I’m just now realizing the original version of this that I heard was with librarians, not teachers! Librarians are actually still orders of magnitude less common than farmers so it would work in that case. This is what I get for relying on memory for my clever comments.
You’re conflating correlation with causation.
Causation: Most homebrewing is a moderately expensive hobby, and so will skew toward middle class people
Correlation: where you are located, middle class people are probably majority white. Also probably the majority of people in your area in general are white. Also the majority of people in general are straight.
If you were in Japan or Colombia or Jamaica, middle class people would not be majority white.
As for the male thing, brewing beer is viewed as a more masculine hobby. Call it a self fulfilling prophecy. Many women probably choose not to join the hobby because they view it as not something women should do.
As an aside, it’s helpful to learn about Bayesian statistics in order to interpret trends and observations that you see in the world around you. Here’s an example:
Paige is a young woman. Paige enjoys reading books and has a quiet demeanor. She also enjoys drinking coffee and watching romantic comedies.
What is more likely?
A) Paige is a
teacherlibrarian
B) Paige is a farmer
Most people answer teacher librarian, but the answer is that Paige is overwhelmingly more likely to be a farmer. Simply because there are orders of magnitude more farmers than teachers librarians in the world.
Edit: this would have made more sense if I said librarian instead of teacher. Let’s all just pretend I did 😅
We literally did come up with new terms after the cold war. We now say Developing and Developed nations.
Reminds me of Russia before WWI began. They realized they had fallen horribly behind the rest of the world in terms of military technology, so they called an arms limitation treaty conference where they pushed for basically every country in the world to agree to stop inventing any new weapons of any kind.
Someone please make this happen.
Be the change you want to see in the world
Probably not since I was less than 10. I’m almost 30 now. I should really make some Jell-O
Norway is fine.
I believe there is more functionality that is supposed to exist beyond just the cross platform search, but that functionality depends on the cross-platform identity thing I mentioned.
In theory yes, but in practice Grayjay doesn’t really work that way. I think for it to work as intended, the creators need to actually create a Grayjay identity and connect it to their accounts. Which literally none of them do.
Yeah when you install one KDE component it tries to install the entire DE by default as “recommended” dependencies. There’s a flag for apt that tells it to only install necessary dependencies and not also the optional recommended ones.
I’m pretty sure you can install KDE Connect on GNOME, but it doesn’t have full functionality. Sending keystrokes and mouse input should be fine though.
Nah mine’s just a cheap Chinese one as well. It’s just a roll of the dice. Only difference with mine is it’s a USB dongle, not Bluetooth.
What are you using as an alternative? I toyed with using KDE Connect as my remote before I bought the separate one. Unfortunately KDE Connect requires KDE to be running, which makes it hard to screw around with stuff at boot time like GRUB or UEFI. Plus there are a bunch of keystrokes that are hard to make on KDE Connect.
Maybe try a different make? You may have just gotten a bad one. Mine is still working
The remote or the Beelink?
Also as Turing proposed it it’s meant to be infinitely repeatable. The test isn’t supposed to just be if a machine can convince one person with one conversation. That would be trivial. The real Turing test is the converse, it says that there should be no conversation one could have with the machine where it wouldn’t convince you it’s a human.
