pos: adj
tags: informal
not-comparable
examples: Problems like solving crosswords from clues are reputed as AI-complete [7]. This enormous complexity is due to its semantics and the large amount of encyclopaedic knowledge required.
Just as concept kernels are not AI-complete, sequiturs and resonances are not AI-complete. Sequiturs and resonances also may not need to be human- equivalent to minimally support deliberation; it is acceptable for an early AI to miss out on many humanly obvious thoughts, so long as those thoughts which are successfully generated sum to fully general deliberation.
... Now imagine a remote descendant of such a system that has acquired the ability to read with as much understanding as a human ten-year-old but with a reading speed similar to that of TextRunner. (This is probably an AI-complete problem.)

Morphological type: derivation

pos: noun

Senses:
gloss: A form of protest where a group of people in a public area lie on the ground to simulate being dead.
pos: noun
examples: By reclaiming the streets through such actions as spontaneous (unpermitted) marches, critical mass bicycle convergences, or staged theatrics (such as the die-ins protesting the Iraq war), activists literally and rhetorically transform corporate space into public, autonomous zones.
The current die-ins are part of a movement to end police brutality against and the mass incarceration of black and brown people, and have drawn allies from different races, generations and faiths. When non-black participants join black people in die-ins, they affirm the need for institutional change – but they also visibly highlight the remaining disparities facing black and brown people.
The funeral is the culmination of Extinction Rebellion’s actions at London fashion week. They also staged a die-in outside one of the show venues on Friday and a swarm outside Victoria Beckham’s show on Sunday, with protesters holding placards reading “fashion = ecocide” and “the ugly truth about fashion”.

examples: THE THREE DOMINANT FORMS IN METALSMITHING […] At present, there are but three basic volumetric forms dominating the work of metalsmiths, the spherical (usually in its most practical form, the domical), the cylindrical, and the cubical. […] The possibilities for further variations on them are all but exhausted, there being little chance to express new and unusual ideas within the framework of such limited choices. As a result, much of twentieth-century metalsmithing has relied on surface enrichment rather than formal development for its originality.
A properly made, fully sintered and fully annealed metal clay piece should be able to stand up to any traditional metalsmithing technique.
The most underrated component in building a custom gun is the metalsmithing. Stock work immediately attracts attention. Fancy checkering patterns, meticulously executed, are sure to elicit oohs and ahhs.
There are lots of quick and easy shortcuts that don't require expensive equipment or an extensive jewelry studio. You can get the look of metalsmithing without the effort. Metalsmithing doesn't need to be intimidating; let us show you just how easy it can be!
