the definition of #AGI when OpenAI was founded: “Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is the intelligence of a (hypothetical) machine that could successfully perform any intellectual task that a human being can. It is a primary goal of artificial intelligence research and an important topic for science fiction writers and futurists. Artificial general intelligence is also referred to as “strong AI”,[1] “full AI”[2] or as the ability to perform “general intelligent action”.” #AI

Jeremy Giles reports in #Foreign-Policy that #Bukele’s #homicide #statistics are fake because they stopped counting (at least) mass graves, police killings, and killings in prison as “homicide”: “Since the start of 2021, at least 171 unmarked graves have been discovered (68 in 2021, 43 in 2022, and 60 in 2023) and entirely left out of the nation’s homicide figures. (...) 1.6 percent of the Salvadoran population is now behind bars—more than twice the incarceration rate of Cuba and Rwanda and more than four times that of the United States.” Includes month-by-month homicide plots! #El-Salvador #politics #crime
#gvwilson’s #review of #Appel’s #compilers book: “this is one of the first compiler texts I have seen that presents, at an undergraduate level, developments from the mid-1980s onward. There are chapters on lexing, parsing, and abstract syntax, but there are also chapters on basic blocks and traces, instruction selection algorithms, liveness analysis, and register allocation (a topic that wasn’t even in the index of the text I used 15 years ago). This breakdown of topics is a good reflection of where a compiler writer’s time actually goes. Most books, on the other hand, tend to concentrate on what we already understand (57 flavors of parsing) rather than what we actually do.”
