Hopefully they leave a map to dryland in a more convenient form than a tattoo.

I disagree with the wording “human-like” because they don’t at all work the way humans do (and that’s part of my first point - it may be the wrong approach entirely to try to generalize as we seem to do) current systems are better at certain narrow tasks which don’t involve hard facts and are extremely bad at others, which they still perform with full confidence and mislead people who think they are thinking.

But yeah, your main point is right: these things easily and regularly passing the Turing Test is a statement about human unintelligence and not artificial intelligence.

Yes, but that’s only like 2 or so networks.

I need to re-read that one myself, especially now that we have

Note that the book is free on the author’s site.

I’ve often wondered if the quest for Artificial General Intelligence has failed so far because even Natural General Intelligence doesn’t exist - exactly as expressed in this comic.

My evidence is the way brain injuries and such can take out Very precise functionality (stuff like prosopagnosia) instead of just generally making things worse in every case.

The link to the “ing” version in their first link does support the use in the article. TIL also.

I’ve had good success with small pieces of electrical tape cut so that a very small part of the LED is still exposed.

This is clearly a comma-is-thousands number of miles (as is consistent with places that use miles).

It’s 1.66 seconds at light speed.

Probably, but I haven’t paid attention to which gun brand he likes.

The official inflation rate doesn’t include food or energy. It’s ridiculous.

I have a car (Toyota SUV) that does the automatic parking brake thing. There’s also a button to manually brake/unbrake them but I’ve not yet found a reason to use it.

Clearly his galaxy soul.

Dude?

Slalom gets pretty close in some ways. It’s amazing to watch what someone highly skilled can do, even when just practicing.

If you switch a reasonable amount of your shopping there and get the “executive” membership, it will literally pay for itself. (Because it gives a few percent back, and that is enough to cover the membership fee)

Depends on how many pairs the drawer started with.

I’m imagining that initially there were say 100 socks in the drawer (50 distinct pairs) and each day she randomly chooses two socks (already very unlikely to be a pair) and has some chance of losing one or both.

In this scenario it does seem intuitively reasonable that when it gets down to 20 there might not be any pairs left, but I don’t know how to math it. I am pretty sure that the higher the number of initial (non-overlapping) pairs, the more likely it will end (at 20) with none left, but again the math is beyond me.

Not only does your explanation match my understanding, but your username suggests you know this stuff.

I’ll go one better.
A (non-spinning uncharged) black hole with diameter 1+5/8th inches (so it fits in the box) has a mass of about 2.3 earths.

(Near as I can tell QGP filling the whole box is around a ten billionth of that.)

Of course the box would Very quickly no longer be outside the black hole. QGP would also cause the box to no longer be a container in short order. To put it mildly.

Epic win! Lol!

Etc, etc.

Very little, around 60k.

A 1.44 “MB” floppy is 1440k, or about 1.406 real MB, and of that the space used by the FAT file system reduces it to around 1.38 free space.
For some reason I couldn’t find the exact number and don’t have any handy to check it myself.
