Updated "Captions With Attitude" to use the new yzma release, and now it runs without CGo just using the webcam and browser + pure Go server.

Have a fun weekend!

My old trains have a second life, with TinyGo!
In the 1970s, model trains were a popular hobby. Thanks to low production costs, anyone could afford a small HO gauge layout. The system was simple: a train, a motor, 12V DC in the track, and off y...

I ran across this classic Drew McDermott piece from 1976, "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MEETS NATURAL STUPIDITY". I forgot what a fun writer he is. dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10....
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MEETS NATURAL STUPIDITY Drew McDermott MIT AI Lab Cambridge, Mass 02139 As a field, artificial intelligence has always been on the border of respectability, and therefore on the border of crackpottery. Many critics <Dreyfus, 1972>, <Lighthill, 1973> have urged that we are over the border. We have been very defensive toward this charge, drawing ourselves up with dignity when it is made and folding the cloak of Science about us. On the other hand, in private, we have been justifiably proud of our willingness to explore weird ideas, because pursuing them is the only way to make progress. Unfortunately, the necessity for speculation has combined with the culture of the hacker in computer science <Weizenbaum, 1975> to cripple our self-discipline. In a young field, self-discipline is not necessarily a virtue, but we are not getting any younger. In the past few years, our tolerance of sloppy thinking has led us to repeat many mistakes over and over. If we are to retain any credibility, this should stop. This paper is an effort to ridicule some of these mistakes. Almost everyone I know should find himself the target at some point or other; if you don't, you are encouraged to write up your own favorite fault. The three described here I suffer from myself. I hope self-ridicule will be a complete catharsis, but I doubt it. Bad tendencies can be very deep-rooted. Remember, though, if we can't criticize ourselves, someone else will save us the trouble. Acknowledgment-- I thank the AI Lab Playroom crowd for constructive play. Wishful Mnemonics A major source of simple-mindedness in AI programs is the use of mnemonics like "UNDERSTAND" or "GOAL" to refer to programs and data structures. This practice has been inherited from more
