Safari Passes the Acid2 Test (Updated)

Safari Passes the Acid2 Test (Updated) 06/05/2005 11:17 PM

Safari now passes the Acid2 test. There were two issues left that needed to be resolved.

The first issue involved implementing a few enhancements to the object element. I needed to support fallback content when invalid MIME types were specified or when bad status codes were returned for HTTP requests (like 404). After fixing these bugs and a couple of other problems with intrinsic sizing of plugins, the eyes of the face showed up.

The second issue involved improper antialiasing of the border corners. Antialiasing was enabled for the drawing of the corner polygons, and this resulted in a bleed-through of the background. Because the two corners were drawn separately, the antialiasing was actually incorrect, since it was disrupting the join of the corners by letting the background show.

Here are the patches for all of the problems fixed in Safari to make the test pass.

Fix parsing of the REL attribute on links.

Disallow TABLE inside P in strict mode.

Add support for min/max-width/height for positioned elements.

Fix the rendering glitch that causes the reference page to paint garbage.

Make sure that percentages that go to auto don't mess up the self-collapsing block check.

Implement SGML-style comment parsing for HTML in strict mode.

Make sure empty tables honor CSS-specified height in strict mode.

Fix baseline alignment within table cells to use the bottom of empty blocks. Fix floats to not grow if child floats overhang but the height of the outer float is auto.

Make sure percentage min-height goes to 0 and not auto when the percentage does not apply.

Implement fallback content for the object element and fix intrinsic sizing to work properly when images are specified in the object element.

Disable antialiasing for the drawing of polygons.

Victory!

Elizabot passes sex-chat Turing test

Elizabot passes sex-chat Turing test 07/27/2004 05:51 AM
A bored hacker modified an Eliza programme to act as an IRC sex-chat bot that impersonated an eighteen year old girl (or, rather, impersonated a sex-chat afficianodo of indeterminate gender impersonating an eighteen year old girl). He assumed that people would try to have cyber-sex with his bot and get bored, but in fact a surprising number were convinced and even got off with it.

This is a plot element in Bruce Sterling's brilliant "RU486?" a short story collected in Globalhead -- feminist hackers finance their RU486-running operation with a phone-sex line staffed by automated chatterbots.

It turns out that pornbots are among the class of Eliza-derivatives that can pass a Turing Test (or rather, horny sex-chat boys are among the class of human beings that can't tell a chatterbot from a person -- other groups include psychotherapists, who, in one experiment, couldn't distinguish actual transcripts of therapy sessions with schizophrenics from simulated therapy with schizophrenic chatterbots; and the university student who mistook a chatterbot for his prof in the middle of the night when he IMed same for permission to extend deadline on a late paper).

'eliza' is a program that talks to you, pretending to be a psychologist. its script of possible responses is super tiny, so it doesn't fool anyone. or so i thought.

IRC is a network full of chat rooms (or "channels") where a lot of scary internet people (or "perverts") hang out. my friend reduz found a version of 'eliza' that could go on IRC. he put it on IRC. a lot of people from other countries thought it was a real woman, so naturally they tried to have sex with it. they got frustrated quickly. reduz is a bad man...

so i replaced eliza's tiny, boring script with a massive dumb blonde script that has like 3,800 responses on all sorts of topics, but mostly sex. jenny18 is very horny and she loves talking to horny guys. and everyone knows the best place to talk to horny guys is on dalnet irc sex channels.
