- Một góc nhìn về đề tài: “máy tính làm chúng ta thông minh hơn”.
From microwaves to cell phones to word processors, computers are extending our intelligence. At their best, and at ours, they’re challenging us, forcing us to higher levels of thought. Pitting my brain against yours is hard. Pitting my program against yours—teaching one machine to spot and exploit another’s subtle flaws—is much harder.
- Tại sao ta cần captcha thế hệ mới, và một ý tưởng cực hay của nhóm Luis von Ahn:
His reCaptcha project (recaptcha.net) seeks to block spam while handling the challenge of digitally scanning old books and making them available in Web search engines. When character recognition software fails to decipher a word scanned in a book — when the page is yellowed or the letters are smudged, for example — Mr. von Ahn’s project makes it part of a captcha. After the mystery word has been verified by several people, it is fed back into the digital copy of the book. “I heard that 60 million captchas are solved every day around the world, which first made me quite happy for myself but then quite sad,” he said. “It takes about 10 seconds to solve a captcha, so that means humanity is wasting thousands of hours solving them. I wanted to do something good for humanity in that time.”
- Ý tưởng này làm tôi nhớ đến Artificial Artificial Intelligence.
- Đàn ông và đàn bà mơ về tình dục ngang nhau. Tuy nhiên, sự khác biệt là ở chỗ:
While women tend to fantasize about film stars, politicians, rock stars or lovers past and present, men tend to visualize themselves making love to unknown women or with multiple partners in public settings. The women who took part in the study were twice as likely to have dream scenarios featuring celebrities such as actors Brad Pitt or George Clooney, or Irish rocker Bono, as their male counterparts. The men, on the other hand, reported dreams featuring multiple sex partners twice as often as the women.
