I don't think the Turing Test is a very good test at all. It's trivial by having the robot pretend to be stupid, a child, or not a native-speaker. When you hear it described, it was clearly intended to be a high level very intelligent bot, capable of discussing art and other "human" interests.

As you note here, the game described by Turing sets a very high bar. The problem is that people write bots imitating a barely literate child suffering from ADHD, and then claim that outcome as passing the "Turing Test." Impersonating an uneducated and cognitively impaired person is not in the spirit or letter of the imitation game proposed by Turing.

The example dialogs that Turing wrote exhibit a high level of verbal fluency, specific factual knowledge, and context awareness:

The author points to low wages as a real reason why people go hungry:

> By focusing on food waste, corporate actors wash their hands of their responsibility to ensure their workers are paid — and therefore fed — just as fast as they punt responsibility for environmental action to consumers. Food waste’s anti-hunger bent doesn’t only divert food from landfills — it diverts our attention from food justice.

And earlier in the article:

> anti-hunger networks like Feeding America are largely bankrolled by shiny corporate interests like Walmart and Kroger. On its own, this seems uncontroversial. But in light of the fact that these same companies notoriously undermine worker protections and pay workers measly wages — while consistently lobbying Washington to keep wages suppressed — claims to fighting hunger are straight-up deceitful.

I agree with you. The point was not that this proves we reached human level intelligence. However we should keep in mind that the goalposts have been moved numerous times already. Once a problem that was initially considered an AI problem was solved, it was no longer called AI anymore. It is likely that any realistic goal we set ourselves and that will be solved at some point will suffer the same fate. Perhaps that’s characteristic for AI as a research discipline.

This is the correct answer.

I worked at at a company where a manager kept pushing for a raise/promo for a worker he really liked. Ended up screwing over the guys work status and getting him deported.

It might be "unfair" that he is being under-compensated. But you also needs to figure in the tens of thousands the company is spending on his behalf as part of "total comp."

There is nothing unique about American businesses that means they cannot pay sick pay. In the UK there is mandatory minimum amount that must be paid an employee is off sick for more than 4 days. So how many low paying jobs the statutory minimum is what they will get but many employers will offer your full-time wages for a certain amount for example the first 15 days or 10 days of sick per year. However if you are long term sick then you will eventually end up on statutory sick pay. But even that is better than nothing. And you should remember the many American companies that operate in the UK also offer this to their employees. Of course perhaps that is offset somewhat by not having them pay healthcare insurance for their employees (although there is National Insurance to pay for the NHS)

Not sure if the universities will close, unless things get much worse. The universities here are already on Spring Break -- the semester / year ended at the start of February and the new school year won't start until the beginning of April. So, it's most likely they universities will just stay as they are and wait and see.

IF things get worse, I'm not sure what the universities will do here.
Maybe not directly but it could still apply.

I interpreted GP as saying the aforementioned management has just enough cursory knowledge to want to apply the same hammer that worked on a simple system to that on a complex system, but not enough knowledge to realize the unknown-unknowns that they aren't even aware of.
Their last rebuttal is the problem. You could easily counter the others.

First rebuttal:

> We store code on a network share, which is backed up automatically every night.

Git (and other version control systems) permit more frequent backups independent of policies established by the sysadmins.

Second rebuttal:

> We rarely have multiple people working on the same system at the same time - the benefits will be negligible, and only add complexity to our daily work (this is true, work here is very silo'd).

If most things are only touched by one person, then git (and most other version control systems) add negligible complexity. While not advisable, you could even have them work off of master (as they do now anyways). [This lets git be a gateway to process improvement. Once they see the fine-grained snapshots and realize they could have people work on the same code at the same time, they may start using branches and other capabilities.]

That last one, though, indicates they don't actually care about anything. The past is not gone. Having these snapshots lets you do a lot of useful things like git bisect. Or the ability to easily rollback to a known good state. If they really don't care about that, I'd run, not walk, to the nearest exit.

I'm not a radio guy so I may be missing some nuances, but in my experience that's not a problem. If you're broadcasting over the whole world, you may have trouble using 915mhz. But if your ground stations are in places where 915mhz is lightly regulated it is no big deal. I think that is the case for the entire western hemisphere. The FCC lets you do pretty much whatever you want in the neighborhood of 915mhz as long as you're not pumping out more than a couple watts.

We've mentioned frequencies and transmitter power in ODAR paperwork but it hasn't been an issue (ODAR is a form that the FCC gets which is mostly there to make sure you don't litter while you're in space).

Edit: Actually I looked into this and we had to a bit more paperwork than just the ODAR. The FCC also wanted to know about signal modulation and ground station locations.

Food waste directly causes artificial inflation of food demand, which is reflected in excess agriculture, agriculture being one of the greatest source environmental damage currently. Emissions (throughout the entire supply chain from the farm to the table), soil compaction, runoff and other pollution are all externalized by Big Ag (meaning we as the people of the world pay the cost) and we amplify this when we waste food. That’s not even getting into the excess waste management involved or the direct hit to our GDP from food waste. It’s a big deal.

As TOGoS mentioned, capitalism currently dominates the world. Although it seems like his comment has been hidden, even though he is telling the truth. I expected my own comment to be voted down as it criticizes capitalism.

The majority of human history takes place in the mode of production of the hunter-gatherer society. This is before the agricultural revolution and the advent of agricultural civilization.

Economists describe this as early communism. The definition of this model is based in large part on the study of the Iroquois Confederacy. This, along with evolutionary models of food sharing, highlight a meat sharing system that is enforced communally. There is personal property, but private ownership of land and essential resources is nonexistent. The community owns the means of production as well as essential resources, and they dictate their distribution by need and not by profit.

In modern society, this would manifest as collective ownership of the means of production by the working class. The means of production are capital that is used to produce goods. Land, water, corporations, factories, etc. As workers exist worldwide, collective ownership would take the form of a global socialist state owned by the workers. This is the purpose of the world revolution.

As communities become organized around sustainability using vast amounts of capital created by workers under capitalism, the global state becomes redundant. At this stage, the economic structure returns to its original state, which is communism.

It's not a ideological debate, calling someone Marxist is as redundant as calling a physicist a Newtonian or a mathematician a Pythagorean. Capitalism itself as we know it was defined by that era of economic science. Of course we should remain skeptical and critical, as many ideas from that era turned out to be wrong. What's difficult is constantly working against decades of Cold War era propaganda and disinformation.

The primary American defense against the words socialism or communism is the idea that society is somehow built around personal character flaws and not laws of economic and political science. The capitalist is not inherently greedy, he simply follows the forces of economics. Communism is not some "ideal society" that works on paper but is undermined by human greed. It describes the majority of human history, and it requires a world revolution to exist again. Any nation that describes itself as "socialist" yet participates in the global economy is simply capitalist and masquerading as something else.
Actually the pressure is a bit on the reverse... if you call off sick for anything less that super-ill, it looks like you're not committed, and your boss and co-workers will not think that favorably of you.

Even at the university I work at, as a teacher, there's a subtle pressure not to call in sick or miss meetings or take a day off. I can only imagine how much STRONGER that peer-pressure is in an office setting.
Although I think the official estimates are severely overestimating the lethality (by an order of magnitude), I also think there isn't enough information for establishing an upper bound yet.

Current estimates are bad.
Yea, smell issues are from transport of the food waste to the facilities. If you have a facility accepting waste, there will be trunks bringing in smelly stuff on a regular basis.

This is a huge problem with popular discussion platforms. Users have no oversight over moderator action, and forums are run like fiefdoms. This can be a real problem when these forums grow to 100k+ users, and moderators abuse their power for person gain or just to stroke their own egos.

I'm going to shamelessly plug my own discussion platform https://plebia.io, where there is total oversight over all moderator action (a record of deleted posts and banned users), and users can actually change the rules of their forums and replace moderators through a voting system. If your mod is absent or abusive, you now have a mechanism to replace them with someone who is better.

Forums should work best for their users, not their moderators, and most importantly, not their advertisers (basing a discussion platform on ad revenue never ends well, which is why Plebia will never run ads of any kind).
Daily backups help nothing if you accidentally delete a file you wrote today. It's far too slow.

Being able to review code by a coworker before it is merged into master is also a big one, as well as having different versions around for currently in use, currently being tested, currently being developed and so on.

But they sound like they have already made up their mind, and you will build negative work experience in your time there...

What I "implied" was:

1. union benefits are redundant in worker owned-cooperative, not in typical corporations

2. and that's because corporate employers cannot emulate collective bargaining rights (but co-ops can)

Please, I'd really like you to explain to me how how "an employee can at any time choose to work somewhere else" emulates collective bargaining rights.
I agree with you, but that's exactly what I was talking about. In a place where majority of the people cannot just go and buy a firearm without getting a bunch of special permits and club memberships (with gun ownership being pretty rare to begin with), it would definitely seem weird to stockpile ammo.

True, but from a resource utilization perspective those things are pretty wasteful. We could definitely meet somewhere in the middle, our options are not “everyone lives like kings and some are destitute” or “all live like kings”. The idea that anyone needs those things (or even deserves them more than anyone else) is the real enemy here.

Yes and no.

Yes, there are limits. The food system sucks. But it sucks because people had become mindless about the system, the junk they're stuffing into their mouth, etc.

If being aware of waste wakes some of them up then that's a step in the right direction. Sleeping people can't care.
Has Cloudflare created a blacklist on their DNS server of entries they won't resolve?

EDIT I just looked this up. Seems like, in this specific instance, Cloudflare is contractually bound by the following:

"The party operating the resolver should not by default block or filter domains unless specifically required by law in the jurisdiction in which the resolver operates. Mozilla will generally seek to work with DNS resolvers that provide unfiltered DNS responses and, at its discretion, may remove from consideration resolvers subject to legal filtering obligations, depending on the scope and nature of those obligations."

They had a contract with some office in the state government. The courthouse is owned by a county, as most courthouses in USA are. Later the fig-leaf of "they use a state-administrated computer program there" was constructed so as to limit the injustice inflicted on two humans, but county buildings are no more owned by the state than state buildings are owned by the feds.

And yes, stipulated, the sheriff is an asshole, but even he would have honored a contract between Coalfire and Dallas County, Iowa.

Nah, the lesson is that users are going to blame you when you make low level arbitrary changes that break things when they're not capable of knowing about and fixing the technical problems that arise. The fact that a change might accidentally fix problems sometimes isn't a counter example to that general principle.
> We might not have had this confusion if some other language were the lingua franca of computing.

Interestingly enough, I can confirm as a native speaker of one such language (🇸🇮Slovene), that outside of discrete mathematics and tech, the words are often used interchangeably. This suggest that the lack of a word in English isn't the cause but the effect. The distinction was likely not necessary before the modern era, so old (==all) languages never created/adopted proper terminology.
