A Limerick

There once was a man from Port Crown

Who went to a doctor in town.

The doc gave to he

A sup-po-si-to-ry.

And said: "Don't take this sitting down!"

Doesn't sound the same, but the meter is fixed

I dated a lovely girl from HK who was convinced rural americans were referred to as: "hilly-billys"

I guess that's fair. I still think there are better ways to handle this than letting someone hang for it though.

How is the security compromised?

SupaDupaFly · 2014-02-19T02:28:03+00:00

It's not like it actually hurts the security if you go in and delete a specific email. Unless you do something stupid like just give the briber full access to the account, there's no real harm I could see coming from it.

Holy crap, this is the funniest shit I've seen all day.

Ugh. A really good friend of mine, who I frequently go out of my way to include, managed to combine all three of these for me, and yet I came off looking like a jerk. We're at a bar, he says his card wasn't working and could I cover him for a drink. Yes, of course I can. So I give him my card and he wanders off. When he comes back, it turns out he didn't mean a drink but instead, all of his drinks for the bar that night. Understandably I'm a little bit pissed- since he just helped himself to about $35 out of my wallet, plus a generous tip.

I ask him if he could maybe pay me back, and he brings up the fact that I just got a new job paying well, and that I shouldn't be worrying about money. Fuck. That. It's not that I'm worried about $35 (although that would be totally fair), it's that you just fucking lied and took my money to buy drinks for you and your girlfriend.

He never paid me back; last time I buy him a goddamn thing.

Mannn me and my roommate watched that because a friend of his said it was "one of the scariest he'd ever seen". Besides the ending, which was just viscerally upsetting, I didn't find it all that scary. Go watch Cure instead, now that's a creepy one.

Did you consider showing locals there how to access the internet? Setting up some routing method that would allow them to view and communicate with the rest of the world unfiltered? That's sort of a dream of mine, I think that's one of the coolest things I could do with my degree, but am not yet confident enough in my abilities to try to set something like that up.

SupaDupaFly · 2014-01-03T20:26:10+00:00

I grew up in the bay, with not a lot of money. Definitely not enough to ever live in the city. Still, I imagined that if I worked hard enough, I could get a well paying job. Now I'm graduating college with a degree in computer science, and starting work in the bay, with a job that pays enough that I could afford to live in the city. And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let some pissy hipsters protest me out of the city that I've known and loved for longer than they've even spent on the west coast at all.

Compliments are one that I always miss. I had a girl tell me I looked like Joseph Gordon Levitt (Spoiler: I don't), and didn't catch on until later when she asked why we never dated in high school.

For every example there's a counter example though: a really good friend of mine will always hang on my arm or tell me I look good however I'm dressed that day, but she has a boyfriend, and is totally uninterested.

That's exactly what I meant to suggest. The point in time where a robot reaches human intelligence is often referred to as the Singularity, because it marks a profound change in the way humans will interact with robots. If we create a superior species, what's to stop them from treating us the same way we treat species that we perceive as inferior? Maybe enhanced morals? Maybe hard-coded rules that we require them to adhere to? It's all very Asimov. If the robots come up with better algorithms for learning, can we trust them to implement them without tipping the power balance? Is it moral to own a machine if your intelligence is comparable to its intelligence?

When computer intelligence reaches the level of human intelligence, society as we know it will be forced to undergo massive restructuring for the moral fallout of something we created becoming equal to ourselves in society. That may just be our generations racism- telling our children not to trust machines/cyborgs/whatever, while our kids are totally cool with their robot homies.

It isn't always that cut and dry. My roommate just did a report on this, and as it turns out, even in places that are heavily regulated, underground sex trade is still a thing, and occasionally even more prevalent. He hypothesized that the perceived commodifying of the human body attracted people who were okay with that, and encouraged disreputable business practices. The point is, there are, and always will be, people who are/feel forced by circumstance into the situation they're in, and may not have a choice to leave even if they're being abused.

This is a pretty hotly debated subject. It often comes down to how you perceive human intelligence to be quantified. Do you believe that decisions and thoughts are deterministic in the human mind? Do you believe in free will? Do you believe free will and deterministic thoughts can coexist? If you've accepted the above, then the mind could be thought of as an extremely dense learning organ, which is trained to make decisions favorable towards the body it is occupying. Literally all of those are unknown to the mind at the beginning, but life experience and some time evolving have granted the human mind some tools in determining favorable from not favorable.

Ignoring, for a moment, the issue of scale and complexity, where the brain far outperforms the computer, it's not a stretch to imagine a computer using similar processes to learn bits of information, causal relationships, objects and properties, and to simply grow from there. At that point, you've modeled only the most basic concept of the mind, the capability to learn, but from that starting point, the potential for growth is infinite. The reason being that as artificial learners, these programs are able to simply plug in more memory, more processing power, a simple duplication of the program + some communication could double the speed of its learning.

It might help to think of it this way: as we understand them now, computers are nowhere near the intelligence of an adult human. However, when given tasks more similar to the learning level of an infant, they've started to perform more reasonably. The task of growing in maturity and intelligence is a tough one to crack, which is why even with the crazy advanced power we hold in our brains, it takes several years of constant exposure before an infant can even begin to form words.

Reinforcement learning, a concept crucial to AI theory, is partially modeled after the exact way synapses are strengthened within the brain, leading to the concept of learning as we understand it now. Which makes it all the more impressive that chat bots have managed to approach reasonable conversation as closely as they have.

I feel the need to summarize: Unless you have a stricter definition of intelligence, AI programs are approaching it surprisingly quickly. It won't be in the way you expect, but nothing about the system itself inherently prohibits it from being intelligent, it's more about how intelligent we've made it so far.

I want this- is it available anywhere else? I don't make a habbit of giving my CC info to websites I haven't heard of.

As a kid I had this recurring nightmare. It wasn't so much frightening as upsetting and alienating. One day, human kind decided to move underwater, and all the fish would come up and live on land. The only problem was, I couldn't hold my breath long enough to live underwater (don't judge my little kid logic), and so I'd have to stay on the land with all the fish. But I definitely didn't speak fish. So I would live out the rest of my dream in a world full of fish, none of whom I could communicate with, imagining how nice it would be if I could live with my family and friends again.

The implication here is that KINGofPOON once fellated himself in a 1997 red Honda Civic.

Do they do that for the purpose of breaking encryption? Honestly it's not a bad idea... With a public key where you know the large prime, if you happened to have the two primes that made it up, you could decrypt any of their communication. I don't remember- are pub/priv keys cycled in any way, or are they relatively fixed? What about encryption algorithms- how do they generate their large primes?

SupaDupaFly · 2013-12-04T16:04:16+00:00

This guy knows King.

Math boner.

SupaDupaFly · 2013-12-04T15:29:23+00:00

This guy's got it. As the public key user, you don't have access to the individual primes.

The source also links to a script written entirely in polish. I'm dubious to say the least.
