When it comes to the definition for 'derivative', its helpful to look at music videos as an example. They normally don't modify the song, but the video creates a adaption of the song by applying moving pictures to the music. Such adaptation requires additional copyright permission in most nations, even if someone already have permission to distribute the music unaltered.

When we talk about a kernel module in isolation, its like talking about the moving pictures in a music video without the sound. When we talk about the independently developed OpenZFS Solaris code, we are talking about specific still frames of the video. Each part is required to make the adaption that we call a music video, and each part can be a independent copyrighted work.

Copyright get interpreted by judges and juries who normally take a common sense approach to such problems. Did party X intend to create an adaptation, and if so, did they have permission to do so? I think everyone, including FSC, agree that the Solaris developers did not create an adaptation of the linux kernel. This leaves the people who created the linux module that combined the Solaris code with linux specific adaptation code, and ubuntu that distribute the combination of kernel and module. What decision a jury would decide is to me very uncertain, but one strong argument that sways me towards FSC conclusion is that judges don't like to rule based on technicalities. If something looks like a an adaptation, it is an adaptation.

Going back to the music video example, Youtube currently works by splitting videos into two parts, a video stream and a audio stream. If they argued in court that its the user that link them at run-time, I think they would loose the argument no matter how technically true it is.

It's only been the first round and I'm not throwing in the towel yet. Unlike AlphaGo, Lee Sedol has an opportunity to learn from their opponents since AlphaGo takes about 30 days of wall clock time to train the networks. There will be 5 games during the next week.

Despite my optimism, the writing is on the wall. AlphaGo and algorithms like it will only improve as you throw more CPU time at them. I actually want Lee Sedol to win, not because it would uphold some kind of human supremacy but because I want to see the AI guys put some more effort (and CPU time) into it. It would be a real shame if they'd win on their first attempt.

Lots of things that are morally wrong are legal, and vice versa.

There's also an argument (which I think applies to the fossil fuel divestment movement) that having money invested in those industries makes it harder for organisations to speak out against fossil fuels as someone somewhere will be accounting for how that impacts your bottom line negatively. By pre-emptively removing the money, you have more chance of making something illegal (or just heavily, punitively taxed) in the future.

Just tried for a few minutes all 3 of them. The C2S is a C2550, and the C2M and C2L are C2750. They each appear to be bare metal, and not virtualized. The VPS offering, which is advertised as a VPS, appears to be virtualized inside of a C2750. The C1 is a Marvell Armada 370/XP, a bare metal ARMv7l board.

Your point is entirely valid, but was already made by the very comment you are replying too..
Many Go players suggest starting with Atari Go (aka Capture Go). It has the same rules as Go, but the starting position is predetermined and the winner is the player to capture the first stone.

You only need to play a few rounds of Atari Go, say 30 minutes to an hour to get a grasp of the capturing rules and then you can move to a 9x9 or 13x13. I'd go straight for the 13x13 because it's not that much bigger but it has much more depth into it without being overwhelming. And many Go boards have 19x19 on the other side and 13x13 on the other.

Hey, I can answer your questions here.

I've looked in to this for my two year old son in the UK because I'm unhappy with a number of the principles and policies of the education system here. Not least of which the religious leaning that many local schools have. I'm not happy for my son to be taught there's a "God" from such a young age. Anyway...

Over 50,000 children are home schooled in the UK and apparently this figure is on the up each year. The laws vary slightly between England/Wales and Scotland so I'll focus on England as that's where I'm based.

If you want to home school your kid you need to adhere to one simple rule. You must give your child a "suitable education". There's actually case law and precedents set here, and the case law cites that home schooling should be sufficient to: "prepare the children for life in modern civilised society, and to enable them to achieve their full potential."

This is clearly a broad statement, and intentionally so. This means that home schooling parents do not need to adhere to the curriculum taught in schools, nor do their children need to sit the exams that their school taught counterparts will undertake.

Parents do not have to prove that they have the necessary skills to provide this education. Local authorities can request informal visits to home schooled children (but that's unlikely given how under resourced they are). A local authority could take steps to force a kid back in to school but they would have to be very unsatisfied with the level of home schooling.

Time isn't tracked. It's not about the amount of time you spend teaching your kid, it's about providing a suitable education - whatever that means. The kid doesn't have to take a school test...ever!

Given the research I've undertaken to date if I do decide to home school I would almost certainly join forces with a local group of home schoolers who tend to meet up once a week and compare notes whilst taking their spawn on day trips. I think it's healthy for kids to have a network of peers regardless of whether they're in school, and it's somewhat healthy to compare your child's progress with that of others.

I would educate my kid in a way that he would be capable of taking and passing the exams all school taught kids take in secondary school when they're 15/16. Reason being that if he decides to go to college and/or university he'll have the same qualifications as everybody else.

I think more than the decision to home school or not is the obligation parents have to ensure that they don't simply throw their children in to education without performing appropriate due diligence. Too many parents I know see schools as free childcare and justify their decision to pick a state school on the basis that "it's the law". Parents have a number of choices in how to educate their kids and blindly selecting the wrong path can lead to disastrous results.

I had a bunch of interviews in my life and everyone had its own "special sauce"...

My first one was with a Java company and the hiring manager wanted me to draw UML diagrams, which was the only thing that I learned in the software engineering course in university.

Another one was about programming a game. Nothing much, but it needed a few 2D transformation I knew nothing about, so I failed miserably.

Most jobs I got were just "talks" about what I can do.

Yes, and it's already the cases for the C1s. It's best effort, you're not guaranteed a sustained I/O if your neighbors are as greedy. But I have a few workloads at OVH and Scaleway that are bandwith-bound, and cloud pricings are just 10 to 100 times more expensive. That's how it is.

If you're looking for affordable north american servers, OVH has the Kimsufi outlet which is cheaper and better hardware. They've got a data center in Canada and will give you American IPs from their AS in Newark, NJ:

The parent company of scaleway, online.net, also has some inexpensive offerings, but the servers are in France which might be a deal breaker for you. (Delimiter seems to be in Atlanta.)
The basic problem, as i see it, is that the Gnome/Freedesktop people got hold of the user space reins, and turned what used to be a kernel up development process into a desktop down development process.
I have a 3€ C1 server at Scaleway moving some 25-30TB of data per month, so yes, it's very real.

Don't get me wrong: this is cool.

But... I'm not sure this is a good idea for a full time editor.

Having used Vim for years, then briefly Neovim, I recently switched to Spacemacs (Emacs + Evil) and haven't looked back. The advantage of Vim now is in it's lightness, so I still fire it up out of habit to edit config files etc.

Wrapping Neovim in Electron might well yield a really nice Atom competitor in the future, and it has the advantage that it is easily hack-able through something less esoteric than elsip. I just think it's a tough sell to developers when Spacemacs, Sublime and stock Vim exist.

I agree that superintelligence could bring enormous benefits to humanity but the risks are very high as well. They are in fact existential risks, as detailed in the book Superintelligence by Bostrom.

That is why we need to invest much more research efforts on Friendly AI and trustworthy intelligent systems. People should consider contribute to MIRI (https://intelligence.org/) where Yudkowsky, who helped pioneer this line of research, works as a senior fellow.
Here's a way to measure the sophistication of a game of skill. Consider two players A and Z. A is a ten-year-old who has just been told the rules; Z is God. Now, in between them, put a series of other players B, ..., Y, where B beats A 2/3 of the time, C beats B 2/3 of the time, ..., Z beats Y 2/3 of the time. (We assume God doesn't use his magical divine powers to cheat by, e.g., making Y play bad moves.)

Unfortunately, God is not readily available for comparison, so we'll use the best human players instead.

How many links are there in that chain? The more there are, the more there is to learn about the game, and hence the deeper and more sophisticated the game is. (So you might think, anyway.)

If you rate players using the Elo system, beating someone 2/3 of the time corresponds to being about 150 points stronger. A complete beginner at chess might have an Elo rating of 500, compared with the world champion somewhere around 2900, giving 16 links in the chain.

In go, beating someone 2/3 of the time corresponds to being about one kyu/dan rank stronger. A complete beginner might be 30 kyu; the best players are stronger than 9 amateur dan, so that's at least 40 links in the chain. (Lower-numbered kyu ranks are stronger; after 1 kyu comes 1 dan, and then higher-numbered dan ranks are stronger.)

So by this measure -- which you may or may not find convincing -- go is a more sophisticated game than chess.

Here is the best argument I know against this definition. Define the game of "tenchess" as follows. To play a game of tenchess, you play ten games of chess and the winner is whoever wins more games (a draw if the same number). Then it's easy to see that tenchess has a longer chain, as defined above, than chess; if I win 2/3 of my chess games then I win 79% of my tenchess games, so I can win 2/3 of my tenchess games with a smaller advantage. (I am ignoring the existence of draws for this calculation, just for simplicity.) But surely tenchess isn't a deeper game than chess; it's just longer. Perhaps go's longer chain is just the result of its being a longer game.

My elementary school in Switzerland actually did ban homework in the 90s as part of an experiment. I can't speak about my schoolmates, but personally I wasn't too happy as a child. As soon as I hit high school we were bombarded with homework and I always felt that I would have preferred to be prepared for that.

At the same time we spent fewer and fewer hours in the classroom as school on Saturday was cut and more special off days were introduced. I think teachers working for these changes meant well but I'm not at all convinced it did any good.
The human can run off resources that are available "in the wild", self-repair, and self-replicate at better than 1:1 (that is, a group of n humans produce >n offspring), whereas the smartphone needs a huge amount of infrastructure to repair it and produce new ones.

>By pre-emptively removing the money, you have more chance of making something illegal

Except money isn't actually removed. It's just the money of ordinary people, that is removed. Hedge funds, banks and rich people are still invested in munitions, tobacco, alcohol and fossil fuels. The rest of us for some reason forced to be "better" people, poorer, but better.

And don't kind yourself, weapons aren't going anywhere. The US army isn't going to disband because the middle class decides that their pensions won't be invested in Raytheon. It's absolutely bonkers that it's okay for me to want my country to have an army, but morally wrong for me to want to profit from the purchases that army might make.
Okay, you're right.

I was thinking of the Standard Model as more of a moving target that incorporates everything we know about the fundamental particles and their forces. I thought the model started with a smaller number of particles [photon, electron, neutrino, muon neutrino, up quark, down quark, strange quark, gluon] and was expanded over time [higgs in 64, w/z bosons in 68, charm in 70, top/bottom in 73]. After further investigation it looks like no one actually called it the "Standard Model" until all of the 17 particles known today were included, so technically there have been no new particles added to the "Standard Model"

I think considering the Standard Model a moving target is still reasonable since if a new fundamental particle were to be discovered tomorrow, we would very likely just add it to the Standard Model and still call the new version the "Standard Model". However, I also realize now that treating it in this way is probably not appropriate given the context of mojoe's original question. I would edit my original comment to retract what I've said, but it seems I took too long to recognize my mistake and it will be forever immortalized in hacker news history :(
A human was beaten with some thousands of CPUS & GPUS. On a calorie level, the human is still more efficient.

On a time to learn these skills... going from zero (computer rolls off assembly line) to mastery, the computer wins.

Actually maybe the computer wins even on the caloric level, if you consider all the energy that was required to get the human to that point (and all the humans that didn't get to that point, but tried).

> Give it ten years and, between algorithmic optimizations and advances in processing, you'll have an unbeatable Go app on your phone.

I find this overly optimistic because of the huge amount of power required to run the Go application. Remember, we're getting closer and closer to the theoretical lower limit in the size of silicon chips, which is around 4nm (that's about a dozen silicon atoms). That's a 3-4x improvement over the current state of the art.

The computer to run AlphaGo requires thousands of watts of power. A smartphone can do about one watt. A 3-4x increase in perf per watt isn't going to cut it.

If there will be a smartphone capable of beating the best human Go players, my guess is that it won't be based on general purpose silicon chips running on lithium ion batteries.

On the other hand, a desktop computer with a ~1000 watt power supply (ie. a gaming pc) might be able to do this in a matter of years or a few decades.
This is great, now I can convert my OSX DevonThink archive with an open source solution and run it on linux/bsd.
