Indonesia wins 2-0, but falls short of qualifying

Indonesia put in an impressive performance in their 2-0 defeat of Singapore, but still
failed to qualify for next year's AFC U-22 soccer championship after finishing a third
place at the end of Group E matches in Pekanbaru, Riau on Sunday.

the goalkeeper gasping as his thunderous goal blasted into the far post.

Australia, out of a six strong field of competitors. Japan topped the standing with a
perfect collection 20-2 goal margin.

Singapore came in fourth with 7 points followed by Timor Leste with 3 points and
Macau with no points.

Half of all heart patients make medication errors

(Reuters Health) - Half of all heart patients made at least one medication-related
mistake after leaving the hospital, and guidance from a pharmacist didn't seem to
reduce those errors, in a new study.

Consequences of mistakes - such as forgetting to take certain drugs or taking the

wrong dose - can range from side effects like constipation to more serious drops in
blood pressure. Two percent of errors were life-threatening.

Hospitals involved in the study were already taking steps to prevent medication
mistakes in addition to the extra pharmacist intervention, said Dr. Sunil Kripalani,
the study's lead author from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville,
Tennessee.

"We were surprised to see that in spite of these efforts that 50 percent (of patients)
were still having these medication errors," he told Reuters Health.

Although the pharmacist visits didn't help the average patient, he added, certain

understanding health information.

As for traditionally lower-risk patients, he said other strategies to prevent errors may
be needed.

A. The patient’s medication errors

Artificial Intelligence May Doom The Human Race Within A Century, Oxford
Professor Says

Posted: 08/22/2014 12:04 pm EDT Updated: 08/25/2014 7:59 pm EDT

An Oxford philosophy professor who has studied existential threats ranging from nuclear war to
superbugs says the biggest danger of all may be superintelligence.

5 | PAS/SEMESTER GANJIL/SMAN 78/2019-2020

Superintelligence is any intellect that outperforms human intellect in every field, and Nick
Bostrom thinks its most likely form will be a machine -- artificial intelligence.

There are two ways artificial intelligence could go, Bostrom argues. It could greatly improve
our lives and solve the world's problems, such as disease, hunger and even pain. Or, it could
take over and possibly kill all or many humans. As it stands, the catastrophic scenario is more
likely, according to Bostrom, who has a background in physics, computational neuroscience
and mathematical logic.

"Superintelligence could become extremely powerful and be able to shape the future
according to its preferences," Bostrom told me. "If humanity was sane and had our act
together globally, the sensible course of action would be to postpone development of
superintelligence until we figure out how to do so safely."

Bostrom, the founding director of Oxford's Future of Humanity Institute, lays out his
concerns in his new book, Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies. His book makes a
harrowing comparison between the fate of horses and humans:

Horses were initially complemented by carriages and ploughs, which greatly increased the
horse's productivity. Later, horses were substituted for by automobiles and tractors. When
horses became obsolete as a source of labor, many were sold off to meatpackers to be
processed into dog food, bone meal, leather, and glue. In the United States, there were about
26 million horses in 1915. By the early 1950s, 2 million remained.

The same dark outcome, Bostrom said, could happen to humans once AI makes our labor and
intelligence obsolete.

It sounds like a science fiction flick, but recent moves in the tech world may suggest
otherwise. Earlier this year, Google acquired artificial intelligence company DeepMind and
created an AI safety and ethics review board to ensure the technology is developed safely.
Facebook created an artificial intelligence lab this year and is working on creating an
artificial brain. Technology called "deep learning," a form of artificial intelligence meant to
closely mimic the human brain, has quickly spread from Google to Microsoft, Baidu and
Twitter. (...)

In an interview about his book Bostrom points aout that there are few people working full
time on AI control problem. They need more brilliant brains to this technical work. His hope
is that his book will do something to encourage that. ‘How to control superintelligent AI is
really the most important task of our time -- yet, it is almost completely ignored.’ says
Bostrom. (Taken from: http://www.huffingtonpost.com)

16. Superintelligence:
A. is a substitute for the human intellect.
B. will possibly take form of a machine.
C. is a machine replacing the human intellect.
D. is any intellect which is better than the human one in some fields.

17. According to Bostrom artificial intelligence

A. is going to kill all the humanity.

6 | PAS/SEMESTER GANJIL/SMAN 78/2019-2020

 B. will probably do us more good than harm.
C. could be a solution for major problems.
D. improves the humanity’s intelligence.

18. Bostrom’s advice is

A. to stop developing superintelligence for good.
B. for people to join forces and improve superintelligence.
C. the best way would be to give up developing superintelligence.
D. to find some ways of controlling the superintelligence.

19. The problem with the horses was that

A. they were not productive any more.
B. they were more useful for humanity for their meat than for their labor.
C. they were a source of labor for meatpackers.
D. their labor was taken over by cars.

20. Bostrom says

A. controlling the AI is an urgent problem which is being ignored.
B. the main task is to control brilliant brains.
C. more intelligent people are needed to overtake the AI’s work.
D. his book will bring the change in controlling the AI.

Haarlem, Netherlands | Fri, November 25, 2016 | 10:33 am

A rare handwritten poem signed by Anne Frank sold at auction Wednesday for
140,000 euros ($148,620).

In a sign of the enduring popularity of the Jewish diarist who became a symbol for
Holocaust victims, the sale price, which doesn't include the auctioneer's commission,
was nearly three times the upper limit of the Dutch auction house's pre-sale
estimate.

The eight-line poem, half of which was copied from a Dutch book of verse, is dated
March 28, 1942, shortly before Anne and her family went into hiding from the
Netherlands' wartime Nazi occupiers in a secret apartment in an Amsterdam canal
house.

It was sold to an online bidder, whose identity wasn't released.

The poem was accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the seller, Anne's former
school friend, Jacqueline van Maarsen. The poem is addressed to Van Maarsen's
late sister, Christiane.

Jacqueline van Maarsen also has a poem written by Anne that was addressed to
her.
