> That’s an absurd and overly strict interpretation of what Turing described.

No, it isn't.

The turing test doesn't evaluate correctness of any answers, their sophistication, or even if there is an answer. All it evaluates is the ability of the interrogator to distinguish between the computer and the human.

And therein lies the greatest flaw of the test: It doesn't test the ability of the computer, it tests the ability of the interrogator.

Quote from the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test#

In practice, the test's results can easily be dominated not by the
computer's intelligence, but by the attitudes, skill, or naïveté of
the questioner. Numerous experts in the field, including cognitive
scientist Gary Marcus, insist that the Turing test only shows how easy
it is to fool humans and is not an indication of machine intelligence.

And another quote:

Chatterbot programs such as ELIZA have repeatedly fooled unsuspecting
people into believing that they are communicating with human beings. In
these cases, the "interrogators" are not even aware of the possibility
that they are interacting with computers. To successfully appear human,
there is no need for the machine to have any intelligence whatsoever and
only a superficial resemblance to human behaviour is required

So the "silence program" may be an extreme case, but it showcases exactly this. If the computer simply says nothing, then what can the human do to determine it's a computer who is silent behind the curtain? And the answer is: Nothing. He can only guess. And since a person can just as easily be silent as a computer can, he might even mistake the human performer for a computer.
This is very true. A good quality inverter/charger with enough capacity to run a home is $$$$. Also need some kind of transfer switch to connect/disconnect the grid, and that's $$$$. It's hard to make a good case for it on ROI alone, you need to be solving some other problem, like frequent power interruptions if you live out in the sticks or something. But in that case batteries probably won't be enough so you need a generator anyway.
This is accurate. One would expect a lot better from the fraud department of such a major bank but here we are... Their phone calls are almost indistinguishable from phishing attacks.

I usually politely tell them that I am going to hang up and reach their fraud department through the phone number on their website. I never had my account locked.
Any reason to eschew short_loops in general that you're aware of? I ask because I'd probably use `for i ({0..9}) echo $i` in your for loop example. I've never managed to get my head around the necessity for a narrow short_repeat option when there is - for example - no short_select.

All of the zsh alternate forms feel far superior to me, in both interactive use and within scripts.

No, it doesn't.

What it seems to suggest more strongly is that the modern (capitalist in general and American in particular) destruction of the traditional extended support networks (both family and nonfamily) in favor of tiny, more mobile, atomic social units that are easier to plug in to places convenient for industrial needs is unhealthy.

Reverting to "traditional" gender roles in the modern capitalist family structure doesn't get you many caregivers (and especially not "personal attention from several caregivers in addition to their biological parents", as the paper points out seems to be important), reverting to an otherwise more traditional family structure even without reverting to "traditional" gender roles does.

In fact, in any family structure, not making child care part of an exclusive gender role gets you more caregivers, each with more time to recharge, but you need a bigger support network, not just different roles within it, for what this article is discussing. To borrow a phrase, "It takes a village..."
I don't know the specifics of the law here, but it seems problematic that a company would be legally considered the owners of an item that you have purchased and be able to unilaterally rescind your contract until it has arrived on your doorstep.

1. Who determines when the item transitions from their property to yours? It seems reasonable that it would be when they accept payment for your item, but it apparently isn't.

2. If the transition occurs at the customer's door, does this mean that a parcel delivered to the wrong location (let's say, a neighbor's door) is theirs? Does mere proximity legally make the item yours? Does the carrier decide to whom the item belongs, and, if so, when? I actually don't believe the "refused delivery" story because it superficially appears to be the only legal loophole that would allow the vendor to retain property of the item.

3. I'm not sure that it's equitable to allow a company to take a relatively non-trivial amount of money from a consumer and give them unilateral leverage in the contract. Even $100 is a non-trivial amount of money for a consumer of even modest wealth, whereas $100 worth of goods for a company is a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percentage of value for even a modest merchant. If the aim of the law is to promote equity, it seems like a greater, not equal, onus would be placed on a merchant.

I'm not convinced that putting hard things upfront will be good enough to separate the weeds from the chaff. Specifically, I fear the false negative rate would be pretty high, which is probably fine when you're hiring for FAANG, but possibly not suitable when teaching at a school.
It depends on the situation as usual.

Hard to believe the Encabulator is still being developed after all these years.

Those guys were light years ahead when it first came out.

I think the formula for success for the Encabulator must have been licensing because if you search YouTube for Encabulator you'll find a vast array of companies developed Encabulator based products.
> But a human would not give the same answer (empty string) as your function.

He doesn't have to. The simple fact that a human CAN do that is enough to make the determination in this case guesswork.
I don’t have anything bad to say about PipeWire. It's really been a breath of fresh air. And, as much hate as it gets, so was PulseAudio when it came out. Good to see things moving forward.
Not the GP, but I don’t think so, not really. It’s Tim Cook’s idea of what the next big thing could/should be, and he wants to leave a legacy like that if at all possible, but it’s unlikely to work out IMO.
Well, it's in a browser. Between trivial mouse move and trivial object coordinate change, there are numerous system and application layers to relay event to your interpreted (or compiled) code, and then to deliver state change to screen.

Even if we move to native world, making two different windows do the same instantly is not always trivial. For example, there have been articles about GUI toolkits making it impossible to have smooth window resizing. If we make everything ourselves (say, immediate drawing in response to WM_PAINT), we can only hope that the system notifies windows quickly, and that performance available is enough to pump bitmaps to screen. Or, better, we can try to use system-wide software or hardware compositor, add layers for individual objects, and only change their coordinates. Then we rely on compositor being good enough to handle 60/120/144/whatever updates per second when it's needed.

zsh has the same; just add "zmodload zsh/zprof" at the top and "zprof" at the bottom of your zshrc.
That pipe wire can often meet or beat pro-audio JACK for latency is so elegant & nice. Defeating that compromise of PulseAudio seems like the crowning achievement to me; there's not a lot of other faults or defects I felt with PulseAudio, and I say this as someone who has had sound servers with half a dozen audio cards (mostly USB) I've run off a system, as someone who has streamed PulseAudio from one system to another.

The technical sophistication of PipeWire is almost purely made possible by Linux improving, by the availability of DMA-BUFs for shared memory inter-process work. This wasn't possible when PulseAudio (nee Polyp) was being created; the kernel couldn't do that then.

On top of this modern base, pipewire has done a fantastic job generalizing it's architecture. It's also designed to pipe video. It could conceivably be used to pipe input events, or other arbitrary streams too. This is a cool upgrade that I hope we see more leaning into over time; I hope PipeWire someday becomes so pervasively used for so many reasons that it is even more known, tapped, used, & loved that dbus, the current inter-process nexus of FreeDesktop.
Strongly agree. There are some enjoyable bits in 3&r4 ( I just enjoy episodic travel adventures), but for the most part they are pretty bad, especially compared to the masterpiece of the first one (the second was an adequate ending to the story).
Amazon India can't do this - or that is what they have told me. This has happened with me multiple times. I ordered an item that I didn't want anymore and they clearly said they can't do anything about it and I should just refuse accepting it or raise a return and refund later which they assured on email they would do.

Strangely, they said they can re-route the package to another address if I tha is what I wanted. So I said why not reroute to themselves or the seller? Well, that also was not possible. Weird.

As for delivery people scanning something like refused delivery or so (incorrectly) - it's very regular with Amazon in India (pretty sure with others as well; but I have pretty only been ordering from Amazon of late). Amazon gives you a pretty wide delivery time range - something like 7am to 9pm - yup that wide and there is no way for you know of a shorter time window. Now the delivery folks are extremely overloaded and overworked. So you wait and wait and wait and suddenly at 10pm, sometimes even at 11pm you receive a SMS saying something on the lines of "not present at address", "attempted delivery failure" and you know that was not the case. After a while you give up even raising this issue with Amazon.

I've been using this the past few weeks to try and cross compile my software. Clang works, but a lot of the core libraries are missing. pkgbuild for instance won't work. And even native Cocoa apps I've tried won't work.
That being said, this has a ton of potential. I really wish the devs had more time to work on it.
That's actually useful. I need the asset bundlers so I can build for MacOS without having a Mac. I already build Rust programs for Linux and Windows on Linux.

Nice! An interesting issue I ran into here was which dictionary to use. There are a lot of word lists out there, and I didn't know about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Words_(Unix).

Regarding the project itself, my approach here wasn't to solve the puzzle in the simplest computational way. This would definitely be overkill if that was the goal. The idea was simulating different ways humans think.

One issue is the failure of the straight-and-narrow status quo to appeal to normal people. When you can't work an entry-level or low-skilled job and afford housing in the area you live in, or when working the job you'd need is more undignified and unappealing than hustling, you're going to hustle to make things work. What came through in the video to me was desperation for dignity, to be seen as a controller of your own fate. For most of the people in the video their "legal" alternative is to be underpaid and mistreated, to have their free time totally consumed by labor and traveling to and from it, and to have nothing left to show after the basic costs of life. It's no wonder they turn to a criminal life where boldness and recklessness earn you either respect or hatred. Lower rent costs and better jobs would fix most of this issue with no recourse to the legal system.

On the other hand, criminal justice in the US is anything but. Voters have decided — I think correctly! — that mere theft and drug use don't warrant the kind of punitive, criminogenic long-term caging and low-grade torture that constitutes our penal system, but there is simultaneously little appetite for improving conditions or exploring alternative rehabilitation so that those going down this road can be firmly turned around or given better choices. So the current situation is that our society, given two bad options, is experimenting with accepting a somewhat elevated crime rate in the interest of reducing over-incarceration and the mass human suffering it creates.

Ultimately my feeling is that you pay for everything one way or another. The stolen laptop and broken window are coming out of the extra money made selling a home in an area with artificially constrained housing supply. People save on property taxes but spend more on Ubers to avoid the train full of poor and needy people who have been screwed by the same system. IMO creating a spectrum of options, rather than the constant debate between extremes, would let people narrow in more strongly on the best balance.

Yes, it's an objectively wrong interpretation of Turing's Imitation Game outlined in his paper, "Computing Machinery and Intelligence", published in Mind in 1940 [0]. It's literally on the first page:

> Now suppose X is actually A, then A must answer. It is A's object in the game to try and cause C to make the wrong identification.

A must answer.

If they sold 1 laptop at a 1000 loss due to a mistake of theirs, it's probably more cost effective to let it go. If they sold 1000 of them, maybe they were debating the reputation damage vs the economic loss: with those numbers at least one of the unfortunate customers would make the mistake and the mishandling very public.
But how do they validate the request came from the sender?
I don't think he was cheating, if just because he was playing a series of players far, far lower than his standard level, and he proves that level in tournaments that have far superior anti-cheating requirements.

However, could he be cheating, if he wanted to, in ways undetectable by the livestreaming? Absolutely! At the GM level, just having the evaluation visible somewhere is more than sufficient to gain 100 points of ELO: You know when your opponent blunders, and if you are winning. That can be setup trivially somewhere out of view. He doesn't need to be told one move, ever.

See, for instance, Carlsen-Caruana WCC, game 6. Ended in a draw. But there was a mate in 30 once, that neither player saw. The moment Fabiano was told of the mate in 30, after the game, he started blurting out the right line... because if there's mate in 30, there was only one way it could possibly go, but it was too hard to calculate. Mate in 30 says 'yes, the really crazy line that you saw works out!' The same can happen in blitz.

As for Hikaru being faster than the engine... it's a crazy claim that he wouldn't believe himself. At any and all time controls, the engine wins, all the time. The calculations from the previous move already included every move your opponent does... It's just that the lame browser engines aren't set up to remember the line from move to move, so they recompute. See what happens with any engine in the cloud, using aggressive parallelism, the kind a super GM uses to study.

There's minimal cheat prevention in titled Tuesday. Even when streaming, cheating is trivially easy to do, by anyone. But this is a place where Kramnik is overplaying his hand. There's probably many players making money in titled tuesday by cheating, as their performance is so very far from over-the-board performance, it's highly suspicious. But the top dozen super-GMs, for which Titled Tuesday money is unimportant? The statistical differences vs their regular play would have to be far bigger than what Kramnik shows for them.

> DNS as a Password Manager?

Shades of the old NIS+/AUTH_DH/mech_dh scheme. That's a scheme that Sun used in 1987 for NFS security and for authentication. It goes like this:

- there is a name service called 'publickey'
(i.e., with a getent style API, a 'files'
backend, so /etc/publickey, and a NIS+
backend for domain-based authen.)
- each publickey(5) entry has:
- the name ("netname") of the entity
- a DH group identifier
- a DH public key
and
- the corresponding DH private key
encrypted in the entity's password

To login you in the system would prompt you for a username and password, lookup your entry in the publickey(5) name service, if found then it would decrypt the private key and confirm that the public key matches.

To authenticate to a remote service the system would find that service's publickey(5) entry, compute the shared DH secret, and send a message with the local and remote names, a nonce, and a proof of knowledge of the shared secret.

Anyways, you could store publickey(5) in DNS, naturally, if you wanted, though that was never implemented because mech_dh simply died of disuse.

It's worth noting that the DNS is mostly public. Yes, you can make zone iteration hard, but not impossible. So if you publish secrets encrypted in low-entropy keys (like typical passwords) then those will be subject to cracking.

I do think mech_dh, modernized with ECDH and PQ key agreement, could make a lot of sense to revive. I could totally see a new scheme that's a cross between mech_dh, Kerberos, and JWT.
One of the many problems with the Turing test is that stuff like this is not well-defined, and it's up to any researcher to fill in the details.

The code is not the system, the code is not the network, the code (and the coins) themselves have zero value. Much like money itself is valueless. You can't eat the money, you can't build anything with money. It's the interface between money and real objects that gives money said value. The digital coins wanted to cheat that connection to fungibility with real life objects.
