Wikimedia is anything, but not a good example of a well structured organisation. The Wikimedia organisational structure is bloated and causes a high monetary overhead. Wikimedia spent $42.1 million between 2012 - 2013. Even estimated pessimistic that amount of money would be enough to run Wikipedia for at least the next 30 years with an estimated annual traffic growth of 10% (too high on purpose[0]). And that's a very(!) pessimistic calculation I quickly run utilizing our default BI for an international HA class 5 project.

That's a point of concern for using the Turing Test to assess the intelligence of a computer, but that's only because the computer has to also be trained to expose human-like features that are considered to be unintelligent.

But on one hand, in order to have a shot at passing the Turing Test, a computer has to first be able to understand and speak human language. And that's pretty damn hard actually.

Yes we can deploy statistical methods, deep learning or what have you for classification, feature extraction and so on, but natural language is context rich and ambiguous. NLP isn't a conscious process for us either, but our brains are capable to disambiguate effortlessly. And a big part of that is also the rich (human) experience we gain while growing up. Being able to speak natural language is the one big trait that separates us from animals. It's why we can cheat death, because our children can learn from the acquired knowledge of all of their ancestors.

This is different from playing Chess at least. With chess you can deploy smart algorithms, but in the end it's still a raw search for good moves in the space of all possible moves, while giving up on branches with a bad score. Raw search is what computers have always been good at. That's not really possible with NLP, because at least with chess your vocabulary is very limited and for calculating good moves you don't need extensive knowledge about the world we live in.

Computers will surely be able to do that in the future and that will be a major milestone towards "true AI", but for now computers cannot do it.

On the Turing Test, some features considered as being unintelligent, like the tendency for lying, or being sensitive to insults are actually evolutionary traits, that have arguably helped humans to survive. So while emulating some human traits will be counter productive, a "true AI" will be concerned with survival and as a consequence will end up doing whatever it takes.

So while passing the Turing Test may not be enough, not passing the Turing Test is a sign that the computer is unintelligent.
There's also the fact that some of the unexpected moves were apparently more about solidifying against a loss than increasing the magnitude of a win. Which has its own kind of eerie implication: since AIs (like all computer programs) do what you say, not what you mean, the "intelligent species" can sometimes work really intelligently towards a goal that wasn't quite what you had in mind. (Gets especially interesting for any AlphaHuman/AlphaCEO/AlphaPresident successors that are given goals more complicated & nuanced than "maximize Go win probability regardless of ending score". BTW, if you haven't already read the Wait But Why series on the future of AI, I recommend it: http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolu...)

For me, the most important part is the language.
I can use JavaScript for client side, server side, and database.
There is no context switching related to language like Ruby, JavaScript, SQL. (And, the way of thinking related to that like asynchronous and synchronous.)

It is especially helpful for startup or prototyping where small team build everything.

I work at a software company in China. Like clockwork, at 1pm, the lights are cut, shades are drawn, then everybody pulls little beds out from their desks and takes a nap. It struck me as quite strange the first time I observed it. The actual work day is something like 10-12 hours including nap/lunch/dinner/goofing off time, with probably about the same amount of actual work as in an American office. I am unable to adapt to this, even when I am exhausted, so I use the time to go to the gym or just keep working.

The fact that Xen is used is just a matter of convenience, nothing forbids MirageOS to run bare metal if the developers would decide to spend effort writing device drivers.

However they rather focus in other more critical areas, for the time being.

They're a lobbyist group. Lobbyists on our side, but they still are fighting for one tree in the forest of governing.

Policy is often a trade-off - sacrificing one good for another, and the EFF fights for only a few goods. In this case, I don't feel the EFFs concerns outweigh the benefits of the TPP, though obviously it's a lot bigger than that.

I don't think we can say just because the EFF supports an action, it is something we should do. But they should still fight for their trees to the end, even if we decide not to support it.
Isn't this a good thing? Why are high IQ people devoting their entire lives to a game? Maybe this will make them shift their priorities to solving problems that only really smart humans (like them) can solve.
The argument is the other way around, if a program halts on all inputs, then there is no possibility to inject arbitrary code. ( There may still be important security vulnerabilities, but there are some limits. Consider a debugger that executes the first 10 000 operations of a program, it would halt, but 10 000 operations is a lot of space to do something malicious.)

That part was clear :)

What still isn't clear to me is how exactly that "workflow" demo (and consequently the "money-shot" final generated images) happened.

There is a progression of generated images with increasing quality. Who did which steps in those iterations?

Blog post uses ambiguous language: "N-th image tries / removes / fixes", etc.

It's not clear though if it was:

1) algorithm steps (keep computing more till generated image looks good), or

2) human being tweaking inputs to fixed algorithm (keep painting new input/output doodles till generated image looks good), or

3) human being tweaking algorithm itself (change code till generated image looks good).

From my understanding, computers have also had this affect on chess. The play styles of younger champions has evolved to the point where unpredictability is actually part of the strategy. I'm not a chess expert by any means, but this quote by Viswanathan Anand (former World Chess Champion) describes it.

“Top competitors who once relied on particular styles of play are now forced to mix up their strategies, for fear that powerful analysis engines will be used to reveal fatal weaknesses in favoured openings....Anything unusual that you can produce has quadruple, quintuple the value, precisely because your opponent is likely to do the predictable stuff, which is on a computer” [1]

I work in Sweden and usually works 40 hours per week, if I work more I can take it off any other day of my choice.

I have never worked at a job where they required me to work more than 40 hours, even if I've come across work cultures where people consistently worked more.

Funny thing is that we actually have a rest room where one can take a nap if you want to. I've never used it though.

>opiates have little side effects outside of respiration depression and constipation

Maybe with proper dosage and medical supervision, maybe. But I think the biggest side effects of regular opiate abuse are addiction and a loss of productivity. I don't think those effects can be discounted. The biggest "waking" factor I have heard ex-junkies state as why they wanted to sober up were "I was killing my family", "I was killing myself", and "it was only a matter of time before it killed me or I killed someone for it".

That said, clean equipment certainly helps solve some of the issues, as infections are extremely common with intravenous users.

I've seen jenkins devolve into this at one of the previous companies I worked at. There were (at one point) two or three people simply tasked with writing, improving and debugging jenkins plugins as well as random configuration issues and failures. Not a pleasant experience.

Our team ended up forgoing the plugins and simply writing shell scripts (checked into our repository) that would handle various pieces of the build workflow. Our jenkins job then became:

Call script 1
Call script 2
...

I'm sure there are better alternatives, but at that time it allowed us to version changes to our build, and turned jenkins into nothing more than a glorified task runner - which we were fine with.

Using React Instead of Dijit with Dojo Toolkit
It's LaTeX, not Latex. And it's TeX-the-language (as opposed to TeX-the-program) that's Turing-complete; LaTeX is a macro package written in TeX.

Also, from 2011: https://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~hovav/dist/tex-login.pdf

TeX files are a common method of collaboration for computer science professionals. It is widely assumed by users that LaTeX files are safe; that is, that no significant harm can come of running LaTeX on an arbitrary computer. Unfortunately, this is not the case: In this article we describe how to exploit LaTeX to build a virus that spreads between documents on the MiKTeX distribution on

Windows XP as well as how to use malicious documents to steal data from web-based LaTeX previewer services.

Edit: It seems at least TeXlive has configuration options to disallow access to files outside the current directory: http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/116927
Sometimes optimal solutions don't make sense to the human mind because they're not intuitive.

For instance, I developed a system that used machine learning and linear solver models to spit out a series of actions to take in response to some events. The actions were to be acted on by humans who were experts in the field. In fact, they were the ones from whom we inferred the relevant initial heuristics.

Everyday, I would get a support call from one of the users. They'd be like, 'this output is completely wrong. You have a bug in your code.'

I'd then have to spend several hours walking through each of the actions with them and recording the results. In every case, the machine would produce recommended actions that were optimal. However, they were rarely intuitive.

In the end, it took months of this back and forth until the experts began to trust the machine outputs.

This is the frightening thing about AI - not only can an AI outperform experts, but it often makes decisions that are incomprehensible.

Yep. I've had just two roles in a 25 year career that consistently wanted more:

I was one of the organizers of a small conference on accessibility for university and particularly university library web sites.

The best slides anybody showed were two different building entrances. One of them had a stairwell plus an ugly looking ramp on the side of the building. On the other one they did some grading in the front so that the ground comes up naturally to the door, which looks great and is better for everybody.
Only small shops do this, and it's more of a 1-to-4 thing. I guess they could... I don't know, have lunch, spend time with their family, do some chores?

Besides, you can't expect a small store with one or two employees (e.g. a bookshop) to be open from 9 AM to 8 PM without any breaks in between.

But aren't the winners of literary awards sort of subjective? I mean, chess and Go are based on beating a direct opponent based on a set of known rules. But getting an award for the best book that is picked by a judge means that you have to hit all the right notes in all the right places for that specific judge or panel. I'm not saying it won't happen, just that it's more subjective

Yes, it's a good idea for people to defend themselves. That doesn't make publishers any less responsible when they betray their readers to aggregators like Google.

You're telling your readers they need to talk to some other host - which may be owned by Google or similar - to get part of the page. Then you claim that it's their fault for being stupid (really: ignorant) enough to listen to you?
And the reason why you cannot check that the program performs no I/O is because you cannot check if the I/O instructions are behind an infinite loop or an impossible condition or not.

It is definitely easy to verify that a program has no references to I/O instructions. This will reject programs like «if(false) then write("Hello")», so it is not a violation of Rice theorem (functionally equivalent programs are not treated in the same way). But you don't need to accept everything that is actually benign, you just need to make it easy to write benign code that passes the check.

I've recruited for a mix of startups and large companies over my career (all startups now), and I've had lots of clients that were working straight 40s with the occasional overtime. I've also had companies that wanted 60+ hours, but the 40 hour work week in software is not nearly as rare as people seem to think.
I watched the live stream commentated by Myungwan Kim so I know what the parent is referring to (later in the game, Myungwan Kim referred back to that possibly being a mistake), although not being a Go player myself most of it was over my head.

It was fairly early in the game and about 4-5 lines down from the top and towards the center, center-left. Apparently, Lee Sedol played a little conservatively and "didn't take a ko" (?) when he could have.

Hope that helps you figure out what they're referring to, or maybe someone else can chime in, but that's what I remember.
>I sort of get what you are saying, that Turing completeness makes analysis more difficult, but I still don't see what it has to do with security.

If analysis was easy you could prove (as in mathematically, e.g. with type theory and such) that the program could never get in certain insecure states.

In fact, lots of highly secure environments (NASA etc), require just such proofs from certain programming modules in order to use them.
This evaluation function does exist, and it's better than the super-simple chess evaluation function.

See, a chess program needs to find a lot of valid moves (see Deep Blue which won because it had stupid but extremely fast HW move generators), evaluate the moves and do a very deep search, up to 14, out of the very few alternatives. Russian chess programmers were better those times. They came up with AVL trees e.g. But hardware won.

In Go it's completely different. A move generator makes no sense at all, and a depth search of 14 neither. There are not a few alternatives, there are too many.
What you need is a good overall pattern matching of areas of interest and an evaluation of those areas. And we saw that this feature outplayed Lee Sedol. Sedol couldn't quite follow in the recalculation of the areas.

Same as in chess AlphaGo learned the easy thing, that the center is more important than the corners, something Lee forgot during the game.
But it's not a deep search, it's a very broad search, and very complicated evaluation function. A neural net is perfect for this function.

> whereas in Go no such function seems to exist.

It does exist. It's the neural net. It's a simple pattern recognizer, which learns over time more and more.
>With spikes to more, of course, when vital

Not doubting your situation, but pretty much every job I've had has told me, "40 hours, unless it's vital!", followed by much apparently "vital" work.

I follow neither Go nor martial arts, but there seem to be some interesting parallels here with some emotional reactions to what appears to be the relative weakness of karate or kung fu versus grappling in UFC. The mystical aura of these martial arts as traditionally practised for hundreds of years suddenly falls away in the face of what often seems like brute force.
As I understand it, the value network takes the place of the heuristic for scoring a given board layout, and the policy network takes the place of the heuristic for ordering moves from most to least promising.

When searching the game tree, at each ply the most promising N moves are examined (as determined by the policy network) and leaves of the game tree are scored by the value network.
Yeah, I find that an odd titbit. The implication is that the accepted normal reaction for "a giant", when asked for directions by someone is something along the lines of "WHAT DO I LOOK LIKE, A FUCKING TOURIST INFORMATION CENTRE? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE, I'M A GODDAMN GIANT YOU STUPID WHORE".

Maybe not in change-the-world Capitalization-as-a-Service SV, but in the majority of the places I've worked you are expecting to work your 8 hours a day and leave.
