The Chinese room argument doesn't have anything to do with usefulness. Its about whether or not a computer that passes the turing test is conscious. Besides, the argument is a ridiculous one to begin with. It assumes that if a subcomponent of a system (ie the human) lacks "understanding", then the system itself (the human + the room + the program) lacks understanding.

That sounds nice and all, but is useless as a definition. The way I see it used, wisdom is knowledge and intuition that is gained from experience, whereas intelligence is a property of a person that allows them to learn quickly.

When you hit the windows key (aka meta-key or super-key) it brings up the app launcher. You get a dock at the bottom with pinned or running apps (like a taskbar), and all of your open windows are presented in a sort of mini-version that lets you switch between them or move them between workspaces. There is a search bar that you can immediately type into to open any app with a .desktop file. There is also a button to bring up the app grid which shows your apps kind of like a mobile device's home screen.

That solution isn't really a solution.

The minimum cost to live in each jurisdiction

There is no clear objective way to measure that. The absolute minimum to stay alive would technically be just enough for the single cheapest available food, and just enough water to avoid death (maybe not even that, if it's legal to just drink out of a river). I'm sure that's not what you meant. But anything beyond that has to consider the incredibly subjective quality of life question. So what you propose is really just a goal, not an actionable policy.

If you can impose a fine you are a jurisdiction and it is your responsibility to implement

That's a way bigger headache than I think you realize. At any location in the country, you could be fined by the federal gov, state gov, other states if you do business there, multiple levels of local gov (county, city, etc.), even your HOA might be able to fine you. But that all depends on thousands of existing laws and precedents.

Why would any milk fat be required for something to be defined as chocolate? Chocolate doesn't have to contain any milk at all. The only thing my brief research turned up was this, stating that they could only contain up to 5% non cocoa vegetable fats.

Edit: This claims there is a minimum milk fat for milk chocolate, but no requirement for chocolate in general.

What do you mean no alternative to VS? There are many IDEs on Linux. What does VS do that nothing else can?

"hmm... a well thought out, reasoned response. But I disagree! How should I express my opinion effectively, to both this person and others who wander by?"

What a shittake

"Ah, yes. My masterpiece. Everyone must see this."

Well you're right that it's not practical now. By "soon" I was thinking of like 10+ years from now. And as I said, it would likely start in systems that aren't used for those applications anyway (aside from web browsers, which use way more ram than necessary anyway). By the time it takes over the applications you listed, we'll have caches as big as our current ram anyway. And I'm using a loose definition of cache, I really just mean on-package memory of some kind. And we probably will see that GPU style memory before it's fully integrated.

But the term was created to legitimize the material.

Do you have a source for that? I can't find anything that states the origin of the term itself is seedy. Besides, it's just a plain description: it's pornography with children in it.

The only sources I can find that support CSAM over CP claim that CP somehow implies consent. But I'm saying that simply isn't the case. I am not saying that words arent powerful. I am not saying that no words ever need to be changed. I am saying that these words don't need to be changed.

Based on those same sources, I'd speculate that this outrage is just misplaced anger. They almost immediately start talking about how bad sexual abuse is, which is not really relevant to whether it should be called CP or CSAM. Just because CP is bad, does not mean the term CP is bad.

It should be noted that games that arent verified with proton won't work until you change a steam setting that enables using compatibility tools on all games. You can also set this per game.

No, they would spend way too much money on custom USB drives. There would be 20 different kinds, with the super premium gold edition* only being available as a preorder bonus that costs $20 extra.

*does not contain real gold
