A contest designed to push the limits of artificial intelligence suggests that truly intelligent machines are a long way off. Then again, probably so do most eighth-graders (and their parents)
|
|

Still, that's pretty impressive, given that the majority of 8th graders in the US flunk the 8th grade science test.

A USian science test or a worthwhile test?

Today at TED2016, XPRIZE is announcing a new contest that invites teams from around the world to come up with ways artificial intelligence can help solve some of the world's most challenging problems. "You are a plague and we are the cure"

I think Troll recognition and removal would be a good start.
and if they could just fix stupid...what a wonderful world this would be!

If you've been hanging on for the perfect domain name for your cloud computing, skydiving, or weather forecasting website, now's your chance — you can now buy .cloud domain names. Dang. cirrus.cloud is already taken

What about get.off.my.cloud?

Between the 1970s and the early aughts, the incidence of myopia in the US nearly doubled, to 42 percent. "Can I do it until I need glasses?"

I went near-sighted long before I touched a computer.

Ditto. It's easy to blame looking at nothing further than 28" away, but I don't think it's the sole problem.

I blame global warming. First, that homeopathic increase in CO2 affects the elasticity of the cornea, and of course that .01C increase in temperature just devastates one's ability to see beyond the tip of one's nose.

Because we no longer need not prey nor we are prey. A short sighted human falls very quickly to his/her death in the natural world, whereas now there is not such a mechanism to decrease both the lifespan and the procreation of genetically defective people.
Luckily, as I have both a lazy eye and myopia.

Is computer science even a science at all? I contend that a software engineer has more in common with an artist than a physicist. You know it when you see it
|
|

Yes indeed. Many of our legacy applications remind me of the abstract expressionist artist Jackson Pollock. He was a specialist in the drip and splatter painting.

I completely agree!
