Programming / The Four Things People Can Still Do Better Than Computers by Eminent23(m): 2:19am On Jul 21, 2015
Humans are good at some things. Computers are good at other things.

As Google CEO Eric Schmidt has put it, the key for humans who want to succeed in the future will be observing this "separation of powers" and collaborating with computers while specializing in what we do best.

But what is it that people are good at? If you had asked me today, I would say forgetting our keys, getting distracted and annoyed, and then thinking about where to get lunch. Human? Yes. Useful? Well... Luckily, a new report by scholars at Harvard and MIT has some more positive answers.

According to "Dancing With Robots: Human Skills for Computerized Work," computers' strengths lie in speed and accuracy, while humans' strengths are all about flexibility. Computer programs are progressing from simple rules-based logic to pattern recognition, which uses more processing power and more data. Pattern recognition can deal with more complex tasks than rules-based logic, but it often works best as a complement to, not a substitute for, human labor. There are three types of work that humans do really well but computers cannot (yet):

1) Unstructured problem-solving: solving for problems in which the rules do not currently exist. Examples: a doctor diagnosing a disease, a lawyer writing a persuasive argument, a designer creating a new web application.

2) Acquiring and processing new information, deciding what is relevant in a flood of undefined phenomena. Examples: a scientist discovering the properties of a medicine, an underwater explorer, or a journalist reporting on a story.

3) Nonroutine physical work. Performing complex tasks in 3-D space, from cleaning to driving to cooking to giving manicures, which is thought of as relatively low-skilled work for humans, but actually requires a combination of skill #1 and skill #2 that is still very difficult for computers to master.

When you separate out these three factors, it's easier to understand the complex ways that both technology and outsourcing are affecting the job market. David Autor at MIT calls it a "hollowing out" of the market. There's a whole set of "middle-skilled jobs" like cashing checks, approving mortgage applications, selling airline tickets, typing and formatting letters, and taking tolls, that are being partially or fully replaced by computer programs. Some of these jobs disappear, and others become more complex and interesting as the computer takes over the routine parts of the task. (Bank teller to financial advisor; travel agent to specialized vacation outfitter; secretary to executive assistant).

In other words, what's left for humans, after the robots have conquered everything, is low-skilled physical jobs and highly skilled, complex mental jobs. The authors conclude by recommending that we reinvent our education system to prepare children for an "increased emphasis on conceptual understanding and problem-solving"—and to better collaborate with, take care of, and program the computers that are going to continue to be our sidekicks.

However, by considering only the cognitive requirements for jobs, the authors of this report, Frank Levy and Richard J. Murmane, are leaving out a crucial point. The fourth thing that humans are much better at than computers is:

4) Being human: Expressing empathy, making people feel good, taking care of others, being artistic and creative for the sake of creativity, expressing emotions and vulnerability in a relatable way, making people laugh. The human touch is indispensable for most jobs, and in some cases, it is the entire job. In this one, humans win.

Romance / 7 Things Men Find Attractive In Women by Eminent23(m): 2:04am On Jul 21, 2015
While men can be seemingly complicated beings, there are a few character
traits that will draw their eyes and attention to any woman.
A pretty woman
So, if you want to have that extra advantage with the menfolk, then pay close
attention to the things that attract men below;
1. A Friendly Demeanor: A man is unlikely to approach any woman he conceives
as hostile. If you want to catch the attention of the guy you are interested in,
make sure you have a cheerful attitude. Smile more, let loose and do not be
afraid to let your fun side show.
2. Well Put Together: No matter how attractive you are, if you do not look well
put-together as a woman, you are unlikely to draw men’s attention.
Pay attention to how you dress and how you look overall. A woman who knows
how to put herself together will portray beauty and confidence, regardless of
how much she spent on her outfit, make-up or hair.
3. Be Passionate: Men are unlikely to be attracted to dull women. You need to
have something that makes you tick, and you need to express this passion. It
could be your career, your family or your academics. The point is, when you are
passionate about something, and it shows, you reflect an inner light that will
draw anyone to you.
4. Sense of Humour: Just like women love men with a sense of humour, it also
works the other way around. You do not have to be a comedian, but when you
do not take yourself too seriously, others will enjoy being around you and
conversing with you.
5. Knows What She Wants: Nothing is sexier than a woman who knows what she
wants in life and focuses on getting it. Men do not want to be around a woman
that is indecisive and cannot seem to make up her mind around anything.
6. Kindness: Being kind is a character trait that is attractive to anyone. If you
seem mean and rude to those around you, men will find it difficult to be with
you.


7. Educated: A man wants a woman he can have an intelligent conversation with.
No matter how beautiful you are, if you cannot keep up a good conversation, he
will eventually get bored with you. You do not need to know it all, just make sure
there are a few life subjects that you know well and that you can shine in.[b][/b]
