@RebeccaChernoff Yes please, I can't watch it anyway

Watson was leading but tossed a fair bit of it away

Watson (artificial intelligence software)

Watson, named after IBM's founder, Thomas J. Watson, is an artificial intelligence program developed by IBM designed to answer questions posed in natural language. It is being developed as part of the DeepQA research project. The program is in the final stages of completion and will run on a POWER7 processor-based system. It is scheduled to compete on the television quiz show Jeopardy! as a test of its abilities; the competition will be aired in three Jeopardy! episodes running from February 14–16, 2011 at 7 PM EST. Watson will compete against Brad Rutter, the current biggest all-time mo...

Common Alerting Protocol

The Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) is an XML-based data format for exchanging public warnings and emergencies between alerting technologies. CAP allows a warning message to be consistently disseminated simultaneously over many warning systems to many applications. CAP increases warning effectiveness and simplifies the task of activating a warning for responsible officials. Individuals can receive standardized alerts from many sources and configure their applications to process and respond to the alerts as desired. Alerts from the United States Geological Survey, the Department of Homelan...

Nick T

I don't get all these people complaining that Watson was fed the questions electronically vs. having to OCR or speech-to-text them

as though OCR is hard compared to answering those ridiculously convoluted questions

The Renamed Exception

wait what?

I thought he did speech to text them!

Nick T

That's even more daft, I bet none of the contestants are just listening to Trebek, they look at the question

My computer could happily do OCR on the display in a fraction of a second with off-the-shelf software

drachenstern

@NickT so what's to say they didn't do so? It's entirely possible that the hardware did decode them on the fly, and there's nothing to have stopped it. Or is the problem that most commercial OCR is much slower than cognitive recognition so they wanted to eliminate the delay of OCR?

The Renamed Exception

@NickT when I read a short blurb on Watson I was mistaken; I was thrown off by natural language processing. Had I thought about it I would have known that could mean processing English strings in memory, but for some reason my brain jumped to the fact that it was doing speech-to-text

Nick T

1:45 AM

@drachenstern They explicitly stated to the contrary, on Jeopardy! and NOVA

psyhclo

Hey guys. dont you think that stackoverflow top bar should be static, i mean, it shouldnt move. so we could see the updates without page up the page.

The Renamed Exception

@NickT The NOVA episode is on my Tivo, yet to be watched

drachenstern

@NickT they explicitly stated WHAT EXACTLY to the contrary?

The Renamed Exception

@psyhclo You could do that with a user css file very easily

drachenstern

@psyhclo what's the question? The bar that has your username?

psyhclo

1:46 AM

yeah, the bar with username

and stackexchange

Nick T

NOVA: Smartest Machine on Earth Jeopardy! challenges even the best human minds. Can a computer win the game?

drachenstern

Do you by chance use Chrome?

Nick T

That the computer receives a text file

psyhclo

@drachenstern was the question for me?/

drachenstern

@psyhclo sorry, yes

psyhclo

1:47 AM

@drachenstern yeah i use chrome. why??

drachenstern

@NickT did they say why they chose to not use OCR?

@psyhclo hang tight, typing and testing

Nick T

No, probably because it's trivial

psyhclo

@drachenstern what??

@TheRenamedException how can I do that?? user css file??

drachenstern

@psyhclo testing something to make sure it'll work like you're saying, to show you what needs to be done, so you can understand it

altho I'm beginning to form an opinion that that is not going to make any sense to you :\

psyhclo

@drachenstern ok

Nick T

1:49 AM

Why, do you not see the challenge in a machine decoding phrases even more convoluted than natural English and tearing through a database to find an answer?

The Renamed Exception

@psyhclo I suspect @drachenstern is doing it for you :-D

psyhclo

@TheRenamedException yeah. thanks man!!

drachenstern

@NickT I see that OCR detracts from the overall solution. The solution was not to create a human simulacra, it was to test a database solution. Feeding it via text and having it OCR to remove text was just two sides of a potential coin. It was easier to provide text than to add in the complexity of OCR. I don't see the let-down. </conversation>

@MichaelMrozek have a star for that humor

Nick T

I don't either, that's why I'm baffled. I still think your missing the point of it all--it's not the database, it's the language parsing that's the focus.

psyhclo

@drachenstern so. some advance??

Dan Grossman

What would OCR add to the language parsing goodness?

badp

I wish forums too would differentiate between answers and comments

Nick T

@DanGrossman Nothing.

@drachenstern suuuuure. excuses excuses. If you don't want to help @psyhclo just say so! ;-)

What kind of wifi card and what distro @drachenstern?

psyhclo

I'm still here!! LOL

The Renamed Exception

@psyhclo I think @drachenstern is having network issues

psyhclo

@TheRenamedException oh ok. Sorry!!

drachenstern

2:03 AM

Nah, XP, work laptop

The Renamed Exception

@drachenstern Sorry, this doesn't compute. Specifically the part where you said you weren't using Linux. I believe this is your problem; erasing Windows and installing Linux should fix things. Do you concur @MichaelMrozek?

drachenstern

@TheRenamedException if I didn't write code in .NET for IIS I might consider that ...

The Renamed Exception

@drachenstern .NET and IIS, now I am really confused. You should totally drop those and try jQuery

drachenstern

@TheRenamedException I do do jQuery as well :p

psyhclo

someone have some idea of how to do that i wanted to do??

the static bar for stackoverflow??

Michael Mrozek

2:05 AM

@TheRenamedException I don't generally nag people about using Linux, I just feel quietly superior

The Renamed Exception

@psyhclo I do. I was hoping that @drachenstern would do it for me :-) But, I will try it myself, please stand by

Dan Grossman

@psyhclo Just scroll up, lazy!

The Renamed Exception

psyhclo

@DanGrossman wat??

Rebecca Chernoff

yay! home just in time for the game! (:

psyhclo

@DanGrossman yeah. think with me, you have a bunch of answers in a question, and the page is too big. that would be more easy right??

Dan Grossman

@psyhclo I see no benefit in staring at the top bar of the page in this situation.

The Renamed Exception

@RebeccaChernoff welcome back

Dan Grossman

@DanGrossman thats cuz when I refresh the page, the page automatically goes to the last answer, and I refresh the page for check stacexchange updates, but it automatically goes to the last answer, and I need to scroll up all again. LOL

The Renamed Exception

@psyhclo Remove the #stuff in the URL

Dan Grossman

Scroll up once and click the site logo

drachenstern

So when you scroll back up click the title of the question

psyhclo

@DanGrossman oh ok. Thanks man. That solves my problem. but dont you think the solution was a good one??

Dan Grossman

No, the bar would've covered up some text, I would hate it

drachenstern

2:12 AM

Besides, I think I have to wrap it in a custom element to stick it to the top...

psyhclo

@DanGrossman oh, you will need to scroll just a little bit for see the text. But if you want to see the bar, you have to scroll up much more then you needed to see the text. LOL

drachenstern

I could stick it without a custom element but it would float left, so ...

The Renamed Exception

@drachenstern Userscript!

psyhclo

@drachenstern could you please just tell me where i manage the user css file??

I'm telling you guys it was heavily contested earlier ... there was motivation on why it was moved there, even if I didn't agree/have a part in it

Nick T

Reno

nope

well clearly it is

Michael Mrozek

@NickT The problem likely stems from the fact that people are inclined to only read the titles.

drachenstern

I feel my ignore button starting to become very very helpful and I'm trying to ignore it ... there have recently been about four users demanding application of it for a test-period :\

Michael Mrozek

@MichaelPetrotta If you want to call that succeeding, then yes :). And Gaming.SE has approximately 0 posts per day compared to SO, so being proud of the impressive spam-detection efforts there is a bit silly

I need users to help me test a userscript ... if you're game, try it here: josh.gitlin.name/drachenstern/stickyuserbar.user.js

Intended action is to sticky the userbar at the top of the screen, where the notifications etc show up. It should work on all sites and retain the site's theming.

@psyhclo try the new URL two messages up from this one. If you installed the previous userscript then visit chrome://extensions and remove both of them, then reinstall the one just above
