I guess that would do a good job at making poor Americans more competitive against undocumented workers
At least in some places, e.g. here in Germany, the speedometer is never allowed to show a slower speed than the car is actually going, so they err on showing too fast (up to 10% allowed I think) so that never happens, even if you put the fattest tires allowed for the model on etc.
Surely it was deployed, in the original Lisp Machines hardware.
Unless things have changed recently, my understanding is everyone in working in "applied ML" has long ago given up on strong AGI and instead focused on redefining image categorization algorithms as "learning".

Keep in mind that the reason it is being done is for appearances and popularity, not the actual underlying issue.

Most of the things you hear politicians talking about they don't care about beyond how the issue -- and what they say about it -- effects their power and electability.
A glass screen on a laptop is worlds different than on a pocket sized device, where the tiny keys were arguably something to improve.

If I can already type 90 words a minute, what problem does the glass solve? I have a glass screen on my iPad, and I never type on the screen keyboard for serious work.

cmake --trace and --trace-expand maybe. Because a typical build of a sizable project runs order of magnitude 10k lines of CMake script, you can just dump it all and search. Worked pretty well for me a couple of times.
I would argue that it failed to be successfully demonstrated with uBlock, as my premise was about regular users, not consumers with technical skills to go into browser settings.
The voyage itself was funded by the British Admiralty, for the purpose of a hydrographical survey, but Darwin's presence on it was privately funded.
The more I think about the "boredom is good" concept, the more I suspect it's flawed. Bored kids get into trouble, especially as they get older. By 18, a very bored kid left to chance will have found an unhealthy outlet like drinking or property theft.

We have a lot of screens now. But it's what one sees and does with the screen that matters. There is an element of media as pollution in this, but it's contrasted against our notion of "the classics". We always end up with a youth that is a mixture of the misspent and the classics.

It could be a weaker argument: One can theoretically make a fully materialistic device acting in a way indistinguishable from consciousness.

Which still preserves the question: if you can reliably fake knowing Chinese, do you know Chinese?

Not a neurologist so excuse the potential naïveté here but can one also make the argument that we can reduce a Chinese speaker's brain's ability to respond into a series of "manipulating symbols and numerals" as well, albeit, a extremely complicated one?

Yeah, I'm definitely in the process of tweaking it; I'd rather still have the inputs be dark with white text, but messing with things like buttons can make some sites have some glaring differences. I think the main insight I got from this is that I can at least use CSS to tweak this sort of thing; beforehand, I was just opening up Gnome Tweak Tool and changing the theme whenever I needed to do something like comments on a Google doc, and this is a much better solution.

Thanks again!
if the kids in your life are verbally attacking other family members when they lose and screaming at you when you try to ask them a question, I agree, that is unacceptable behavior.

I still take issue with the responding to questions thing though. I think your perspective shows that you don't think games are a legitimate activity, so you don't have to care about interrupting them. think about it more like football practice after school. if you are watching from the sidelines and think of a question to ask the child, are you going to just run out onto the field and demand that they respond? I think you would either wait until the end of practice or just say something like "hey, when you are finished I need to talk to you about something". this is a much more respectful way to act, and really doesn't take too much effort on your part.
I read that too, and also read OP as being sarcastic
I'm skeptical that this "water more valuable than oil" prediction will come to pass.

Currently, a thousand gallons of freshwater from a desalination plant costs between $2.50 to $5 to the end consumer in the US. By contrast, a thousand gallons of West Texas Intermediate crude oil costs around $2500. And oil is becoming more scarce as we burn through it.

Why would the room being successful reveal anything useful? Why does it matter if a program is executed on pencil and paper or electronically? The thought experiment does not bring any novel insights and just misdirects the reader by focusing on the human.

You could execute the Strong AI program on any Turing complete system. Asking if the human understands Chinese is just as absurd as asking if a universal Turing machine understands Chinese given the same program. The machine just follows the instructions given, the philosophical questions reside entirely on the side of the program and the execution of it.
Not directly related but Georgia also has a pay to carpool/alternative commute program.

As a fellow pessimist, I'm not as convinced.

The most horrific products of the Holocaust did not build themselves. Same with the Chinese and their current endeavors.

Orgs will just continue importing talent from abroad to work around labor shortages.

Governments can always publicly execute a few pain in the ass engineers to make the rest fall in line.
You have presupposed the answer.

Replace a book with a person in that example and have the human walk up to the person and ask a question. Now in that case would saying the person moving the note does not understand something mean the room does not contain something that does understand? Nope.

Therefore, saying the human in the original example does not understand something does not in fact answer your question. My lungs don’t speak English, but I can’t speak English without them.
I feel like this fails at the scope level. Of course excluding the program the computer is unable to understand Chinese. Just like a transistor alone is unable to perform a sum of two integers. Either you analyse the complete system or you are just drawing false parallels.

EDIT: Spelling
Not to mention that it's really confusing if the username is numeric, but the uid != uname. I guess that's why the old debian set uid to uname in this case.
It isn't sub-minimum though - farm labor rates in CA are $14+ - twice to three times minimum. There still isn't enough labor.
This is mostly true about the language but not about the way build artifacts and their dependencies work. That part is pretty solid.

Came here to say this. I was amazed at just how deep that rabbit hole goes; an incredibly entertaining/depressing view.
Partly this is because profits are taxed, so it makes sense to shift profit into some other accounting bucket like capital expenditure / growth, offshore ip etc.
What a misleading comparison...

I don't even get what you want to say.
But it's garbage. The whole proposition is that if we reduce the human to the role of an automaton (while still retaining our prior knowledge of their humanity) we can get out of explaining how this perfect Chinese conversation-system is supposed to work by saying 'ha, there was a human in the machine the whole time!' - an extremely obvious bait-and-switch.

Also, reflect on the fact that while this isn't supposed to work in real time, the thought experiment calls for the human to be able to operate this conversation-machine by following the exhaustive instructions but without absorbing any information about the system they're operating, such that if they are let out of the Chinese room and handed some Chinese text on paper, it will supposedly be meaningless to them.

The whole idea has so many inherent flaws that I'm perplexed that it was ever taken seriously.
Josiah Wedgwood and Charles Darwin's paternal grandfather Erasmus Darwin were both members of the Lunar Society of Birmingham, which also included the chemist and liberal theologian Joseph Priestly, James Watt of steam-engine fame, and Watt's patron and partner Matthew Bolton, who was as much a technological entrepreneur as Wedgwood.
I don't know California specifically, but the homeless in Chicago congregate in the business areas and tourist places, not the residential areas as much.

I would assume California is similar since most people who live there are less likely to give things to them every day.
Because everyone in Manhattan is like you; a young, perhaps single, with no kids; especially not many, and none with special needs, who doesn't need to routinely carry or cart anything around.
Don’t you think the kid should be learning to cure boredom themselves? If you always tie your kids shoes, how will they learn to tie their own shoes? Likewise, if you always provide entertainment, how will they learn to entertain themselves?
His policies are designed to selectively terrorize migrant labor and make it impossible for them to have recourse to the state. This keeps wages low because no private businesses are seriously penalized for employing migrant labor, but the laborers themselves are at risk of being brutalized by the immigration authorities if they attempt to seek redress for unfair treatment by their employers.

The way to actually resolve the issue would be to aggressively enforce labor laws without regard to the worker's immigration status, because they would remove the incentive for private business to use migrant labor in the first place.

Self-attention uses 1x1 convolutions, and while the original Transformer is fully-connected-only (I think?) the latest & greatest uses convolutions (https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.11117), and even if you're using the original, it's very often being used in conjunction with convolutions elsewhere. So you could argue that the real title would have to be 'The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Attention', but given all the other stuff convolutions have done without attention like WaveNet, I think it's currently fairer to go with convolutions than attention. But we'll see how it goes over the next 4 years...
Yes, and then the analogy is used to refute this notion through a thinly disguised "but it is obvious! [that this isn't real]" fallacy (the fallacy is that it is not at all obvious that the Chinese Room is not sapient).
I would urge everybody to watch the National Geographic video on Netflix “Water & Power: A California Heist”. Gives a complete different view of this couple.

nocaptcha aka reCAPTCHAv3 is the worst choice. At least with v2 users of firefox/adblock/ec get a chance of passing the captcha by answering challenges. v3 takes that opportunity away from them.
Is that with or without full-time benefits? And how do you know the "under the table" labor rates illegals get? Labor will be there if price of labor goes up. Price of labor will go up if supply is constrained. Economics 101. This is not a high skill occupation where there can be a genuine shortage of labor. This is way more elastic.
Central valley would still be more sensible than the rest of the USA even with more expensive water. There is a reason so much is grown there despite lack of water. So much less to worry about with good soil, temperatures, less pests, less disease. In fact the last two are partly because of the lack of water.

But this is not what the argument says, is it? The argument says imagine a man that can't understand Chinese. The assumption here is that some humans can understand Chinese while others can not.

The problem is that as soon as you're getting value from users solving captchas, there's an incentive to show them more captchas to solve before accepting that they're human.
Good evaluation. Searle’s Chinese room argument always seems to hit a nerve with many on HN, with lots of outright diamissal. Whether or not it’s wrong, it’s intent is often just misunderstood. If I remember correctly Searle isn’t arguing against the possibility of a computational machine equal in function to a biological “brain”. So no real need to take it as a slight against ml/ai work. Searle’s intrests are in phil of mind and language, so his interest in questions of mind/consciousness and semantic meaning aren’t going to have too much to bear on applied ML.

Yeah, that's fair. I would mention that to them - they are responsive to feedback when it doesn't conflict with the longevity and stability requirements.

Where do games like Screeps, Dwarf Fortress, RimWorld, Factorio, or Minecraft feature? Leveraging (or demanding) the user's creativity and construction to meaningfully drive gameplay (though how meaningfully varies) is like opening an extra dimension compared to games where you're only meant to respond to stimuli relatively simply, like Papers, Please.
reCAPTCHA's tile fade-in doesn't punish bots, it punishes real humans. Your argument might be valid if reCAPTCHA were a true CAPTCHA, rather than compliance/recruiting mechanism used by google to abuse people until they relent and adopt google products.

But yeah, it's free so you can't resist using it. Have you ever stopped to wonder why google gives this service out for free? When you integrate reCAPTCHA into your website, you're selling your users out.
I've actually started trying to see how wrong the newer Capchas from will let me be on purpose. Either by not selecting all of them or picking wrong ones. They let you through a lot of the time.
Ooh, really cool. The comment about function-pointer comparisons was a pretty funny ramification I hadn't considered too. Real "wtf" debugging case I bet.

Naturally I also thought of this powerful book, that I read almost 30 years ago.

He found that the people that survived the camps were those that had something to live for, whose lives retained some meaning, some value, and that that was more significant than any other factor.

...And I just read his (pretty disturbing) wikipedia page. I hadn't heard any of the 'Controversy' stuff before, of which there is a lot, too much to summarize here. No wonder he's not better-known these days.

I'm in a very similar position and since I also suck at sales I choose B2C over B2B. Selling to businesses directly is hard. Why not first sell to consumers, then have an "enterprise version" if it catches on?

So for example for your campground app - why not first solve problems of individuals going to the camp? It could be as simple as a public map tool where people could put/share markers for different resources on the map... then after you provide value for free, offer premium services. I haven't been successful either so maybe this is horrible advice, but that's basically how I try to solve the problem of sucking at marketing/sales. (do marketing through engineering)
Really I think this is just standard America-centric writing - Josiah Wedgewood isn't well-known in the US, so the writer assumes his prior ignorance to be universal. Kinda the same way that many Americans think the telephone and television were invented here.
If our drivers were smarter, we wouldn't need speedometers at all. Nobody thinks "I'm going too fast" then looks at the speedometer and decides "Oh, my speed is fine".

Drivers who want to go fast will go fast - for them the gauge is only useful so they can slow down for speed traps.

Not having a speedometer shouldn't make a sensible driver suddenly very dangerous at all.

People were living in cities for many years before cars were invented, presumably at least some of them had children and were not young. Hell, people still live in modern cities around the world outside of the United States where car ownership rates are extremely low.
People in this thread have essentially been saying that in the future we could pay people to do other things. I am saying that we could already do that today.

Simplified, basics might cost $500 a month, but to live in New York you are paying maybe $5000 a month. The income isn't the problem, the cost of goods isn't the problem and the premium is the problem.

It doesn't really matter which way you do things unless you can remove the premium on success, progress, prosperity or whatever you want to call it. And if we do remove the premium we don't necessarily need these esoteric solutions.

Most, or at least many, people today already have money, it just doesn't go very far. So how is giving people a small amount of money going to change anything? It probably isn't, unless there is social change. Which the lack of is therefor the problem, not providing income as such.

For the record I do think a mixed market economy that keeps the cost of living in check and taxes automation is the most obvious answer. But Sweden already sort of tried that in the 1970's. Unsurprisingly very unpopular.
Cynical or not, it's more true than false. You can't just believe things you like...

A bus will not drop you off right in front of a specialist clinic for your weekly appointment. Also buses are incredibly hostile for wheelchair bound people, even if they are not meant to be. Seriously try boarding a bus during rush hour on a wheelchair - the driver has to help you and people have to move to give space for you, but in general it's an unpleasant and humiliating experience(people who are usually already late are suddenly even more late because of you, and sometimes even comment on it - you need to grow some proper thick skin to not give a damn).

Besides, even if you are on a wheelchair with lower body paralysis you can still drive with hand controls.
If you assume that the brain of a person speaking Chinese is fundamentally different than a computer executing an instruction set, then you can also prove it based on that assumption. How is this significant?
