urth-urth.net Digest, Vol 6, Issue 1

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Annese delenda est
It has already been pointed out that a one line
response does not need to be accompanied by the whole
preceding post. So I will not reiterate the point!
Ichythoids often check their appearance in the
bathroom mirror before leaving home.
The point of my 'Testing Turing' story is that in many
ways a reflection can pass the Turing test, though I
am not suggesting a trick of the light should deceive
us.
It is worth considering humans who cannot pass the
turing test or the shovel test... illiterates perhaps,
babies, people in comas etc.
