THE BASIC IDEA
AI-PROJECT is comprised of 2 parts, query master, and cloud script.
The basic idea is to create giant script capable of carrying out a multitude of tasks, based on user input, similar to the computers is science fiction in shows like star trek for example. The idea is that eventually a engine can be developed that could be the basis for the way all future programs can handle and process natural language requests.
CLOUD SCRIPT
The script will run on a scripting engine that is cloud based. Computers visiting the site become compiler pertinents, this is done with client side JavaScript and Ajax. A user need only be on the site to contribute processor time. This eliminates the need to install anything and fasciculate ease of use. Next scripts are broken up into modules with each one responsible for charring out a user defined task. Models are created using Wiki principles. The basic flow is this:
The user names a request (For example, what is the weather in Florida right now?)
The cloud script engine checks to see if a module is available to handle the request
If no module is available the user is invited to contribute a module using a easy to use script editor.
The engine has learned new skill.
Attentionality users will be invited to contribute code in existing modules as well, in a Wiki like fashion.
QUERY MASTER
Query master is a special part of the cloud script, script, it is basically a simple drag and drop scripting language in itself, that returns a hit or miss value. This section of the script checks whether the user input applies to this script or not and returns that information back into the script cloud. A simple query master script for the above example might be, “Contains +what, +is, +all synonyms of (weather), +all synonyms of (right now).” If multiple scripts indicate that they can handle the request then the user is presented with a choice of handlers to use, in the form of a clarification request.
THE SCRIPTING LANGUAGE
The language will use JavaScript as a basic foundation. The JavaScript will be extended to include a fusion of client side and server side processing using Ajax queries to the master server. The master server will provide server side libraries for preforming such tasks like retrieving XML and RSS data, sending emails, performing Google searches, and many other things.
What gets me isn't what they got wrong (like the 3 computers lined up next to each other, or the touch pad instead of a keyboard) but the still that was actually pretty much spot on (like the fact that people still feel the need to print out bank statements).
How odd... I really wonder how well this is going to work, taking a drawn movie and then trying to go back and redo it into 3d... I have doubts about how good the 3d will be, for sure. Still though, if it's actually good it'd be pretty interesting, The Lion King was probably the peak of modern Disney animation. Aladdin is my personal favorite, but The Lion King is probably the peak, animation-wise.
Very interesting article. It's long, but explaining the whole Fox News story takes a while. The charts showing how almost all Fox hosts follow the talking points precisely is particularly valuable. Of course everyone already knew that Fox does this stuff and has done it for years, but still it's interesting to see it all laid out there clearly.
I imported this game from England because it was fully translated there but never released here. The DS cases in the UK are thicker, for no reason I can figure out since there's still the same small space for the manual. Also their PEGI system is a lot more straight forward, though a warning for "controversy" really speaks to English stuffy stereotypes doesn't it?
It's great! The whole focus of the game is managing a business. Hmm, yeah that sounds aweful doesn't it? Well, it's fun in the game. Think Zelda, if instead of Link you had a loser who couldn't fight. In other to get through dungeons, you have to work out deals with people, tough bodyguards who do your fighting for you. The end goal is to get enough rupees to make it to the legendary Rupeeland, where all your dreams come true.
Also, the expressions Tingle makes are hilarious (and disturbing).
Ratko Mladic is the man who led the Serbian army during the wars of the '90s, of course, and who has a lot of responsibility for many of their war crimes, genocide included. He'd been hiding in Serbia ever since the wars ended in '99 or so, protected by some people there. Apparently the Serbian government's somewhat serious efforts to catch him (how serious they were has varied) finally actually got somewhere and they found him. Great news, this is a major step towards finally having justice for what was done, and towards Serbia normalizing its relations with other countries.
I'd missed that they'd announced a PC version of this for sure, that's great news because I have SFIV for the PC but couldn't get SSFIV because they didn't release a PC version. Now they finally are, and with the AE addon content too. So that's the good news -- it's coming.
The bad news is that it will still use the annoying Games for Windows Live, unfortunately, and it's got some irritating DRM as well -- it requires you to be signed in to GFWL and online in order to access a lot of content in the game. Not online? There's a lot of stuff you can't do. Idiots, all that does it make the pirated version better (such things will surely be patched to competence in that version). At least we're getting it, but come on, this is stupid. It does reduce my interest at getting this for anything less than one of those "really cheap DD store deal" specials. We'll see though, I'll certainly be getting it eventually some way or another.
