The question is not if something is a patter matcher or not. The question is how this matching is done. There are ways we consider intelligent and ways that are not. Human brain is generally considered intelligent, some algorithms using heuristics or machine learning would be considered artificial intelligence, a hash map matching string A to string B is not in any way intelligent. But all this methods can produce the same results so it's impossible to determine if something is intelligent or not without looking inside the black box.

If you want to get philosophical the truth it we don't know what intelligence is and there's no way to identify it in a black box. We may say that something behaves intelligently or not but we will never be able say if it's really intelligent. Turing test check if a program is able to chat intelligently. We can come up with a test for solving math intelligently or driving car intelligently but we will never have a test for what most people understand as intelligence.
No, a dictionary is not intelligent. A dictionary simply matches one text to another. A HashMap is not intelligent. But it can fool a human that it is.
It's not making Turing test obsolete. It was obvious from day 1 that Turing test is not an intelligence test. You could simply create a sufficiently big dictionary of "if human says X respond with Y" and it would fool any person that its talking with a human with 0 intelligence behind it. Turing test was always about checking how good a program is at chatting. If you want to test something else you have to come up with other test. If you want to test chat bots you will still use Turing test.
WTF? This is so fucked up. This is not were duck's feet go, this is where wings go. The dick goes exactly in the right place though.
I remember when I used to keep my fully configured distros below 700MB so I could just dump it all to a CD as a backup. Good days.
Depends on the company I guess. But yeah, people would probably just laugh at me for being careless.
I once pushed a git commit with youtube link as the commit message. Nothing terrible, some completely random video. Still, it looked really weird in the commit history. Turns out you can edit this if you have access to the server and I did have access to the server.
One time in the same company I found a random youtube link in the middle of a java class. Yes, it was still compiling. No I didn't commit it.
Last year they fired a guy from my team but didn't cut his access first. In the 15 minutes between HR talk and desktop support actually closing his accounts he managed to send messages to all C*O and some managers telling them how unfair it was (it was totally fair) and accusing the company and his manager of racism.
I use it less and less. I was still using wired headphones quite often when I got my current phone couple years ago but since then I switched to BT in like 95% of cases. The remaining 5% is mostly travelling. Noise cancelling headphones are too big to carry and small BT headphones don't have enough battery for a long trip. In a couple of years when I'll be changing my phone it will still be be really nice to have mini jack in it but if there's no reasonable option I might do without.
Only a sensor-filled helmet? Amazing. So much better then the previous model which required removing the brain the cutting it into thin slices.
Nah, it was all me. All of it.
