There is a Hole at the Bottom of Math

Cheers for the promote.

You've just given me a... thought. A good mst3k-style commentary would make a far better Turing test than the standard conversation thing.

Is the Universe a Computer Simulation?

Mordhaus says...

In the field of artificial intelligence, a genetic algorithm (GA) is a search heuristic that mimics the process of natural selection. This heuristic (also sometimes called a metaheuristic) is routinely used to generate useful solutions to optimization and search problems.[1] Genetic algorithms belong to the larger class of evolutionary algorithms (EA), which generate solutions to optimization problems using techniques inspired by natural evolution, such as inheritance, mutation, selection, and crossover.

I direct your attention to the first sentence. In the field of AI, in other words, an artificially created intelligence. Now even if you go to the the idea Turing had that a computer could learn and adapt itself to the point of AI, it is a device that had to be created by an outside designer at some point. It didn't just manifest, it was created and reached AI level, then it could at that point begin to try to 'imitate' natural selection.

It has become clear to me over our last couple of discussions that you are incredibly reluctant to think outside of the box YOU have created for yourself. You believe what you believe and damn the torpedoes with the rest.

Did you read it? I bet not, because it describes systems of laws and rules that can allow programs/problem solutions to create themselves based on evolutionary models, starting from a randomly generated population of possible solutions, not the programming of an AI.
Yes, someone must 'program' those rules into a computer, but there's no need to program an AI (nor is there a need for someone to program those laws into reality, they simply are... the universe did not start out as an empty hard drive), this programs and re-programs itself based on the rules to find the optimal solution to the problem given. That's solution evolution, not AI.
The methodology comes from the field of AI, as it's a good way for an AI to find the best solution to a problem, it is not, however, an AI itself, nor is it relegated only to the field of AI.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Wage Gap

ChaosEngine says...

First, that's simply not ture. The pay gap is nowhere near 90% either by industry or by l
evel of education
.

Second even if it was 99% that's still unacceptable. "Rational reason" or no, people shouldn't be penalised for their gender. It's not reasonable to ask a parent of either gender to work long overtime.

RedSky said:

But like Magicpants says, when you compare across equivalent jobs, the number is closer to 90-95%.

That can be attributed to employers factoring in potential maternity leave and the general lower likelihood of women working overtime. These are not necessarily fair as some women will work long overtime and not have kids (or have the father take leave) but there's a rational reason for employers to assume this on average.

The Imitation Game - Official Trailer

RFlagg says...

Is seems in 1996 the BBC aired a movie based off the same book that Imitation Game is based on. *related=http://videosift.com/video/Breaking-the-Code-Biography-of-Alan-Turing

Future Party of Australia

9547bis says...

"We are the Future Party. We are the Party Of The Future. But we still can't filter the wind off our mike."

"We want a city oriented toward immigration, research, and the private sector. It's called Singap^H^H^H^H^Turing. I meant to say Turing."

People Are Awesome 2013

chilaxe says...

This video is glorifying stunts like jumping over cars.

It seems reasonable to say it's intellectually simplistic to glorify those things instead of glorifying people like Turing, who contributed far more to the world.

Skills that contribute to society, like being a policeman or plumber, aren't being criticized here.
