>Thank you! I was going to write something similar. I think a real 'superior' AI must be able to follow all the various philosophical ideas we had and 'understand' them at a deeper level than we do. Things such as 'there is no purpose'/nihilism, extreme critical thinking about itself etc. If it doesn't, if it can't, it can't be superior to us by definition.

Understanding is not the same as accepting as your utility function. Morality is specific to humans. A different being would have different goals and different morality (if any.) It's very likely they would be compatible with humans.
Nice, Love it when people actually perform experiments! :D In how many cases was the wrong output still functional?
You dusted too much of the illusion away all at once. In a world where up is down and evil is good you have to start in small digestible bits... or realize you're paddling upstream with a straw. We lost the education and information war through exactly the systems of disguised brainwashing you mentioned.
I searched for 'the IT Crowd' and it got something that 'the IT Crowd' guy was in and not the actual IT crowd. Looks like a good idea. I am sure I saw something like this for movies but for TV shows is an excellent idea. Keep up the good work.
> When you make sensors and storage as cheap as dirt then you're going to end up with widespread deployment.

The surveillance technology gets cheaper over time, but so does the counter-surveillance technology. If they store everything then we encrypt everything, etc. But that balance doesn't exist in a vacuum. It very much matters whether we allow what the government is doing to be considered legitimate. If they're not allowed to do it and you find out that they did then you can have the evidence thrown out or file a lawsuit against the perpetrators; if they are allowed to do it and you employ or develop reasonable counter-surveillance technologies to prevent them from doing it then they may charge you with a crime just for thwarting their surveillance. That is a distinction that matters regardless of how cheap the technology gets.
Go has absolutely no claim to being C's successor. It is useless for all the things it makes sense to use C for. That's why it has attracted virtually no C programmers. Go is python's successor if user influx is anything to judge by.

Why AT&T’s Surveillance Report Omits 80 Million NSA Targets
It seems to be a bit more than that, as I've verified that iOS 7.0.4 and Mac OS X 10.9.1 both refuse to connect to a server with a certificate for a different hostname. Sounds like verification is somehow different when connecting to a raw IP address. Safari treats that case differently, anyway: if I try to connect to a hostname that's different from what the certificate says, it simply refuses to establish the connection at all. If I try to connect to the raw IP address, it says the certificate is wrong, but gives me the choice to ignore the error and proceed anyway. Odd stuff.

We're in a tech bubble. I don't see any other explanation, because it's unlikely that WhatsApp itself will ever generate the amount it was bought for. Some years (months) from now the bubble will burst, and IT companies will be bought for a far more reasonable sum (a sum they'll have to justify to the buyer by having decent revenue. Sure WhatsApp has revenue, but nowhere near $18 billion).
"I'd have to say your idea of supervisors misses the point."

I think it's unfair to explain how I "missed the point" to me when I'm the one who brought it to your attention in the first place, when I called it out explicitly as a weakness, in the context of a post explaining how OTP can not be completely ported into Go without loss. I did after all explain in a parenthetical that I tried to fix it, realized the fix wasn't really a fix, and decided just to go simple and idiomatic after that.

The thing is, while it is sad that we lose that characteristic of supervisors, there are still other useful characteristics: Sensible restarts; naive restart code has a lot of pathological cases. I rather expect my library to ship with a couple at first too, but we (yay open source) can fix it in one place, once. Composition of supervisors is a great way to build applications, with self-contained pieces; the whole "hierarchy" still applies, though I find with the elimination of the restart strategies it gets a lot simpler, for better and for worse. It's still nice to be able to build code and easily slot it into a management system, even if it can't quite be as powerful.

A complete translation is impossible, but an idiomatic one may be, and I'm already finding it useful even in my little coding efforts.

As for the REPL... yes, that is an unmitigated loss, no question. I'm mitigating it in my personal app with a lot more flexible logging and some more external controls, but there is no true replacement for a REPL. Though... we may get a REPL someday, it just may be either a mere subdialect of Go or a separate scripting language. I've resisted putting a dependency on one of the very young Go scripting languages in my project, but theoretically in another year or two this might at least be mitigated.
it's a nice story, but it doesn't apply to 99% of kids who do not possess the same level of intelligence this person.

In today's academic environment, it's downright impossible to get an F as a gifted person, unless you're making a statement.

And that's a luxury most kids including highly intelligent ones (IQ 130+ or top 3-4%) don't have.
When I was in the advertising business, one of the core products I created was a brandsafety product - basically preventing advertisers from advertising on dodgy sites.

I messed around with algorithms that detected nudity (because big brand advertisers don't want their ads showing up on porn sites). One of the more interesting and simple-to-use one is actually a simple averaging of the images across multiple samples. That one was easy to implement and has relatively good results.

In the end though, I ended up not using it because text clustering algorithms worked better in classifying content.
I TOTALLY hear that.

Maybe an GCC/EGCS, eglibc/glibc, or (as nfm points out) Yarv/MRI scenario could work. First prove your mettle (will take donkey's years), then upstream can jump to your stable code base in one glorious commit.

Hope you can mention in the readme that upstreaming is not a goal... It might be hard to get the wording right but it would have made my first impression quite a bit less skeptical. :)

> Actually, my point about pain was that it does exist, precisely because it can be examined and explained within a scientific framework.

The physical processes of pain (ie. the electricity) can be observed scientifically, but the "sensation" of pain (to use your word from before) cannot. But it is the "sensation" of pain that gives it its moral significance, otherwise inflicting pain would be no different morally than flipping on the switch to an electrical circuit.

> The same is true for consciousness. What's difficult about it is that it's not a thing, there's no hormone for consciousness, there's no brain centre where it's localized, rather it's a process and a product both phylogenic and ontogenic

I can only conclude that you mean something different than I do when you say "consciousness." To me the sensation of pain is a subset of consciousness. It's the difference between electricity "falling in the middle of the forest" so to speak and electricity that causes some sentient being to feel discomfort.

> Actually, it's very useful in showing why worrying about subjective sensation of consciousness is completely useless in AI

Sure it's useless to AI. To AI the zombie problem doesn't matter, because the goal is to produce intelligence, not sentience. But it's useful in a conversation about what sentience and consciousness mean.

If we created intelligence that could pass the Turing Test against anybody, it would be basically impossible to know if it experiences sentience in the way that all of us individually know that we do. But that is the essence of the zombie problem. Where does sentience come from? We have no idea.

Actually I take it back; the zombie problem will be extremely useful to AI the moment a computer can pass the Turing Test, because that's when it will matter whether we can "kill" it or not.
Oh Gawd...

That's a fair argument. Neither Golang nor D give you the control that C gives you. If that's your yardstick, then the only viable candidate at this point is Rust. But Rust doesn't feel or look anything like C, but more like C++ or maybe Scala.

I applaud your effort but I worry that this step is not far enough to make a better version of vim. However I really think that we can do better and the famous, great editors (vim, emacs, acme, etc.) all have different features that make them great and unique. I prefer vim because of its modal nature which might be the reason why I find it also ergonomically superior (after remapping ESC to jf) - e.g. I don't like it to stretch my fingers.

On the other hand I never really script vim as I find vimscript just terrible. This is far better in emacs as it uses a decent programming language.

The third aspect I think is not well-designed is window/buffer-managment. In my opinion this point could be outsourced or developed in connection with a tiling WM or terminal multiplexer like tmux/screen (this part is best in acme).

A modern approach I thought about (Yet Another Text Editor Syndrome) would be a client-server architecture with a server node storing buffers with context information (filename, cursor, etc.) to which clients can connect. A client node could be on one hand a viewer (terminal or gui based) doing fancy thing like syntax-hightlighting, cursor control, searching and on the other a REPL (in any language) that just has to implement the bridge to a defined message protocol.

>Often, such suggestions for reform are mistaken for 'give them the choice to study what they want'. On the contrary, throughout secondary school, students should necessarily be taught all subjects and forced to sit through all classes.

I think there is room for both. Require students to take 'basic' classes in all subjects (up to whatever level of competency you require), but also require them to take advanced classes in subjects of their choice. In addition to furthering their knowledge of their own interest, these classes also provide a much better opportunity for students to learn how to research, study, write, ETC, because they can do all of those things on a topic that interests them.

Additionally, having just a few such classes can change the perception of school from a place you have to go, into an opportunity to learn that happens to require you to learn some things you are not interested in.

Strawman ad-hominem? I hardly use yelp, your comment makes no sense.

Seems like a not very scalable approach to the problem. I would think if you wanted to capture all nudity (including monochromatic or illustrated), you would instead go at the problem from the angle of titillation. You could even round up images that are not necessarily human based (fruit arranged provocatively, for instance).

I'm not sure that the UK perception of Aldi is "low quality" as such. "Cheap", yes. "Chaotic", yes. "Just generally a bit weird and foreign", overwhelmingly. But i wouldn't expect the actual quality of the goods to plumb the depths of a Morrison's, or, god forbid, an Iceland.

But then, whilst i don't live anywhere near an Aldi, i have become something of a connoisseur of the baffling Teutonic delights of my local Lidl, so perhaps i'm biased.

I do take offense to your comment. And I'm not accepting your apology.

My mother graduated from Berkeley as an EECS major. As a matter of fact, so did two of my aunts. They all earn a lot more than the male computer engineers in my family, and this is independent of their sex.

Every subject has its introductory classes, many of which people have taken in high school. There isn't an option for introductory CS in many high schools. It seems logical to have one, then, in college

Ouch, they cost more than most of the guitars I own (Epiphone makes really decent stuff these days, acoustic and electric). Definitely cool tech, though.
They way my parents did it for me was by identifying what I really enjoyed and what I had no interest in. They would encourage and push me to try new things and do what I was interested in, both in and out of school. When I did bad in school they would always ask if I tried my best, based on my answer they would push me accordingly.

Their way of handling poor grades completely eliminated grade anxiety for me. Instead of freaking out when I failed I would try to identify why I failed and how to improve that.

I would say LaTeΧ can be perfectly well seen as a combination of many aspects of Word and Markdown in the sense that it offers the feature set and backwards compatibility that Words offers, while culminating a legacy, complexity and perceived indeterminism that also plagues Word (though in a different way); and on the other side being a plain text format that can be version controlled and taken apart and shared as snippets.
The basic implementation is now complete.

Basically.

The major airlines love, love, love military pilots, especially ones that muster out around o-3, o-4 because they are in their late 20s/early 30s (lots of years left before mandatory retirement), they are already completely trained, have tons of time flying planes (compared to civilian pilots of the same age), and they are almost overqualified for ferrying passengers in terms of abilities/skills.
"The training set for the skin filter consisted of 1,182,608 manually labeled skin pixels and 10,471,553 manually labeled non-skin pixels while the testing set consisted of 2,303,824 manually labeled skin pixels and 24,285,952 manually labeled non-skin pixels."

That's a lot of pixels to manually label.
