- oldsecondhand 5y agoOr write a strong AI with regular expressions that solves the problem for you.
- mindcrime 5y agoI feel like there's a variation of jwz's famous quote waiting to be coined: "Sometimes, when a programmer confronts a problem, ze thinks 'I know, I'll use strong AI', now ze __________." * has 2 problems? * has 3 problems? * has infinite problems? * has a death wish?
- bryanrasmussen 5y agobut the quote was already wrapped in the parent posters idea, since they were writing Strong AI with regular expressions! If you have two problems when using regular expressions and you have X problems with Strong AI how will the combination of your problems be calculated?
- mindcrime 5y agoIf you have two problems when using regular expressions and you have X problems with Strong AI how will the combination of your problems be calculated? Well... using a Strong AI, of course!
- mechanical_bear 5y agoIs this supposed to be an approximation of a foreign accent or something?
- mindcrime 5y agoI assume you mean the "ze" part? If so, no, that's one of a series of new pronouns that were coined specifically to be gender neutral. https://www.mypronouns.org/ze-hir https://www.mypronouns.org/ze-hir
- mechanical_bear 5y agoAh yes, that was the part throwing me. Seems unnecessary when the original quote was already gender neutral with the use of they, an actual pronoun already in common use?
- mindcrime 5y agoI wasn't looking at the original quote when I wrote what I wrote above, FWIW. And I wanted to avoid the instinctive inclination to write "he", so I went with "ze" because using "they" for singular case always feels forced and awkward to me. But yes, that would have been fine as well. It was a choice I made at a moment in time, not something that I spent a lot of time analyzing and debating. :-)
- TameAntelope 5y agoI think I'm going to ask this question in every technical interview from now on, as a way of seeing how people deal with dumb shit. Would love to know ahead of time if someone's just going to flee when I say something stupid. :)
