Definitely, 27 is pretty low. But it did drive a lot more traffic than being #5 on Show. Which I think is interesting. I would have thought more people looked at Show. But I guess not.
Well, at least we still got poker. Until AI knows how bluff or how to call out bluffers.
The right way to solve this is that Visa and Master Card need to develop a standard to make super easy to generate a unique payment number everytime you make an online purchase. Then that should be built in as a browser extension or component. So I browse to a site, click to pay with my Visa card, and Visa automatically generates a unique code for that site and fills it in on the form.

Blur[0] from Abine has this in their premium version. I have used it, and overall it worked well, but I had some password syncing issues and stopped using it.

A final key innovation would be if email providers would make it super-easy to generate aliases per site. I do this myself manually with fastmail, but if there was a simple browser extension that would automatically create an alias and fill in a form, that would be great, because I could have a unique address that all funnels into one place, for everything I sign up to.

Something like this can be done on FastMail using a catchall alias[1], but it requires a custom domain, and the domain could be used to link all the accounts to you.

I'm experimenting with it, but what happens when I forget a password and the email I used to sign up for it? A password manager is an option for that, but they have their own problems.

Edit: FastMail also has subdomain addressing[2]. I believe it works with all of the FastMail provided domains.

Never claimed it was.

But it is really close and probably what OP referred to
I don't think OP was referring to people who are trying but cannot succeed. I think he was saying that basic income encourages a society to rely upon the government and forget about putting any effort in to trying to succeed.
I don't know why people still bother with inkjets. It's like the companies are actively punishing you for buying these models of printers. If they are necessary for work, then MAYBE. But even then, if you're buying commercial hardware you're not dealing with this junk either.

It also used to be that laser was incredibly expensive in comparison, now they're about the same price if you compare color inkjet to black and white laser.

I bought a Brother black and white laser MFC 7 years ago. I've changed the toner three times and it is just ready to print when I am. I've never had it not print, my old inkjet required a prayer before every print job.

No nozzle jams, no problems with a color being used up, preventing a b+w print. It just works. I paid maybe $180 for the printer 7 years ago and I'm not going to replace this printer until it fully dies. It has fax and multi page scanning capabilities- the only thing that sucks is that it isn't networked by default and the Linux drivers are touchy.

I plugged it in to my TP-Link Archer C7 and their printer sharing drivers work fantastic on OS X. I will never buy another inkjet printer again.
The problem with state propaganda in communist/socialist regimes is that the state is so corrupt that it brings misery to the country, people are poor and have zero opportunities. This brings natural distrust in the government. Not to mention that critics of said propaganda are usually disappeared.

In the West, the corruption is not as strong, people have opportunities and a much better quality of life (everyone can eat, education, healthcare etc) and there is much more respect for due process. All this makes people trust their government a lot more, probably too much.

In the West, critics are allowed but tend to get lost in the brouhaha, they may be refused certain jobs and won't get invited to prime time tv but they won't be persecuted unless they're whistle blowers, in which case they will be labeled as traitors and sent to maximum security, not that different to socialist dictatorships. It's just that socialist dictatorships have a much lower threshold of what constitutes a traitor...
You're entirely correct about the form of my argument being weak. Too busy shipping code to make a more coherent argument. :P

I definitely do worry sometimes that spending too much time getting things done takes away from time spent learning how to do things better. I hope that I've found a good balance between the two, but it's easy to get it wrong, and your point is an important one.
Don't be silly, a Go AI has very little direct value for Google's business. But the publicity is great, easily worth $1M. More important is keeping the DeepMind team busy and engaged -- the real value is in spinning that know-how off into other projects.
Can't this be hacked in the drivers?

> "if three or more lines extend from a single point to the edge of a circle, then the point is the center of the circle"

Isn't this the definition of a circle, collection of points with the same distance to its center?
That depends on the reasons that humans make flaws. If human flaws are mostly errors related to failures in our meat (stress, lack of focus, jittery nerves) that keep us from looking in depth then the algorithm will easily use the good points in each game and with its superior ability to look deep into the future the results are predictable that the machine will win every time.
No, the point should be to provide a safety net while not creating a Ponzi scheme or forcing working population into welfare.

He's right that data volumes have non-linear risk profiles.

He's wrong that there is evidence more data isn't better. While there are indications of this for advertising, it is definitely not the case for financial data.

And the other subtlety is that lots of low quality data is indeed useless, but small sums of high value data can do a lot. That high value data is what people are looking to steal. Having a little bit of user financial traction data, for example, is incredibly powerful. Much more so than, say, cross-website shared cookies or Amazon referral patterns.

And there is a whole class of data that has value proportional to the total sum of it you possess. A good example of that is surveillance data. Ubiquitous video coverage of an environment is much more useful (to both machines and humans) than partial coverage.
This is probably a configuration issue, although OBS has more issues OS X for a variety of reasons. I've ran OBS on my 10 year old PC while coding without much issue.
I am no fan of Donald Trump but it is amazing and disturbing to see the media bias against him. I was watching General Electric News (i.e., MSNBC) this morning and the reporter was smearing him, and frankly I think she lied about a few things she said.

I have the same complaint about the coverage for Bernie Sanders - seems really slanted against him.

On the other hand, the coverage for Clinton and the other republican candidates seems fair.
> Don't be silly, a Go AI has very little direct value for Google's business.

On the other hand: Knowing what makes some problems much easier for humans than for computers can have direct value on Google's business. Go was a hot candidate for a game with this property.

It was present in the Amazon series, but not as significant as the novel. For the series, it seems that only the Japanese used it. Tagomi, the trade minister was seen to be a strong practitioner in the series. Where in the novel it seems to be used by all people in the Pacific States of America.
A neural network beating a top human at Go? Cripes, if Marvin Minsky didn't say it would never happen, I'd be stunned.
Some of the coaches already do this. Their "card" includes plays that say "In situation X, the probabilities say to call play Y."

The problem is small sample size. You only have the plays as called in the games to rely on. You can't "replay" the game with a different set of plays and see what the result would be.

This was a problem even in Moneyball. It's just that On-Base Percentage has a really good correlation to runs and therefore wins.

> This sounds like what pops up every other day in Egyptian newspapers about genius Egyptian kids who invent this or that.

Haha, finally I come across someone saying this on the internet. But you're right it's exactly like that.
I actually used this idea once. I had three known points which were approximately equidistant from an unknown center. I wanted to find the center.

So I used a hillclimbing algorithm to search for the center by guessing points and seeing how close they were. The fitness function was the difference between the proposed center and the three points. The idea being to minimize the distance between their. If the lines were exactly the same length, I would have found the center.

It didn't work at all though. It gave wildly incorrect answers, and sometimes even converged on infinity... Even when running it many many times to avoid local optima.
>One known aspect of programs using Monte Carlo Tree Search is that they play to win, and are willing to sacrifice margin of victory to maintain or increase their odds of winning.

One interesting implication of this is that it very much applies to perfect information games--not games that involve an element of luck or, indeed, pretty much anything that involves the real world. In those latter environments, you absolutely want to run the score up or otherwise take small chances to gain an immediate advantage to create a cushion against future unexpected events (even if they slightly hurt your odds if those events don't occur).
Which tablet? I was thinking you were talking about the Surface Pro 4, but its bargain basement model, which is actually not great (only 4 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD, Core m3 processor), costs over $1,000 once you throw the keyboard cover in. So, going down-market, the Surface Pro 3 when similarly specced* is $730, which is still a bit high.

* I don't think it's actually similarly specced, it just has the same amount of RAM and SSD space, but I suspect that everything is lower performing, and the screen is smaller as well. Too lazy to look up benchmarks though.
From the very section of the article you quoted: "In computer science, a problem that can be broken apart like this is said to have optimal substructure." - There is no reason whatsoever that any problem could be broken down to this. In fact there are many problems for which it is known to be impossible. The article on optimal substructure lists a few.

Your fact probably doesn't have a name. But a good statement would be that a quadratic polynomial has at most two roots.

To see this, suppose that the two circles are (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r and (x-c)^2 + (y-d)^2 = R. Subtracting gives an equation of the form (linear function in x and y) = r - R. This means that y is a linear function of x, and so we can use this to substitute in the equation for the first circle to get something of the form (quadratic function in x) = r.

Then as there are at most 2 solutions for x, and each gives the corresponding solution for y, we see that two distinct circles intersect in at most 2 points.
The same goes for HP OfficeJets (or at least mine ... 8600 Pro)
How hard would it be to hack an open source printer hardware, say using some standard black toner cartriges (any brand), and make a Kickstarter out of it?
Hahah, you think the other vendors are better?

At least the Epson stuff I've owned is easy to install with Linux and doesn't break after a few months of use (contrary to various Canon and HP devices). If there exists a non-terrible printer manufacturer (in a consumer budget range) do tell me.
In all of those cases, writing the libraries in question again with a different licenses would solve the problem. If you are going to use his code, you should respect his wishes.

Otherwise, you're being both evil and lazy.
I don't currently have a printer. I think I'd want an economic laser printer. Probably going to print less than 50 pages per month.

Needs to work fine under Linux.

Any suggestions?
Which was meaningless at the time, and I don't think he knew that game beat the European champ until shortly before his game. The difference between the two champions was so large that Lee would be expected to win 95% of the time. All other Go AI was exceptionally weak when compared to the top level players.
It will never win because Switzerland is right leaning and economically liberal. Luckily.

I think that all circles have a center.

The fact that the Yijing pushed him towards a psychotic state, means that the process WORKED or was beginning to show results.

Psychosis and mystical experience are after all closely linked if not objectively identical.

The Yijing, when used properly (as a tool for self-exploration and psychonautics and not for fortunetelling or the chasing of idle fantasies) works similarly to the Tarot or other symbolic systems that operate on the human psyche. There comes a point (with repeated use and appropriate conditioning/reinforcement) that these systems really open up the subconscious and can lead to mystical unions or profound annihilatory experiences (ego death).

So it sounds to me that your friend had no idea about these things and simply could not handle
the "results". When you play with fire, you take precautions or you get burned..
Human sex trafficking over a period of over a decade? Holy shit, yes, that is a very explosive lawsuit. I thought the headline was overstating things but if anything it's the opposite. No wonder he was fired within the day.
We have a colour Brother laser which I got a few years back which seems pretty solid - toner isn't cheap but we can probably go for years without changing it so it's not that bad.
Google wallet was supposed to add the ability to generate unique credit numbers. Idk if they did.
Unless it's opensource, it can't be trusted. Not saying it is enough, but it is a requirement. But that's not enough, any smartphone OS maker (google and apple) can be ordered to install a Trojan by force and keylog everything. So you'd need something like http://www.replicant.us/ I guess and compile it yourself if you're completely paranoid. Even then, there could be a keylog in the hardware directly talking to the bios.

tl;dr: if you want complete risk-free privacy, a smartphone is probably not what you want. I use a smartphone myself by the way, just saying.

Overpopulation and the deterioration of the environment will push us to find solutions through AI.
strong AI can be immortal

My grandfather was very racist and never changed as long as he lived. I'm glad most people aren't immortal. There's no guarantee a full AI wouldn't be tempted by evil and just become republican (or worse, a VC).

It can also recursively improve itself.

So can people (the more you know, the more you can learn), but most don't. It's important to remember "intelligence" isn't an abstract concept—intelligence is also embodied in personality—and personalities have wishes and goals and desires and loves and hates and that one song they can't get out of their head. A true "strong AI" will be fully conscious, not just algorithmic function bating.

Good luck telling a mildly strong godform to stop tripping on youtube videos and instead solve the global economic stability equation over lunch.

This advantage will lower the bar for strong AI even more.

That's kinda foofy conjecture. Being good at rectangular grid outcomes isn't necessarily a step in any direction towards a hands-off tax evaluating robot.

It feels really really good to talk about how AI will be a hundred billion trillion times smarter than the combined brainpower of all humans that have ever lived, but it feels good in the same way thinking dead people live again after they die feels good—it triggers that warm wishful thinking parietal lobe that removes a bit of reason for the sake of an overarching calmness.

Enthusiasm is great, but tempering with real expectations and less technopriesthood is better.
100% this! Older 4700 and 5000 series color laserjets are a tremendous value used and are totally serviceable with cheap eBay parts too.
Lots of info here:

https://www.apple.com/business/docs/iOS_Security_Guide.pdf

The short version is that your passcode (whether four digits, six digits, or a full password) is combined with an encryption key embedded in the device in a way that's supposed to be impossible to extract, and used to derive the encryption key used to protect your data.

The device you linked to relies on a vulnerability in the US, where it would report that a passcode entry failed before recording that failure to nonvolatile storage. Normally, the device starts adding more and more delays to passcode entry after a few failures. By cutting power to the device immediately after it reported failure, it bypasses those escalating delays. As your link mentions, Apple fixed this vulnerability in a subsequent OS update, so that hardware only works on older OSes. This phone's OS is too new.

My Dad didn't.

As for me, for some tasks, such as writing documentation for something I knew nobody would ever read, my brain would refuse to focus. I would look for more important things to do and never get a page of documentation done.
In my opinion a possible path is to make some sort of Symbolic AI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_artificial_intelligen...) system, and put machine learning on top, and even below of it. You could start with a very basic Symbolic AI, easier to understand. Then growth it gradually. The cool thing of this approach, would be that you could inspect the symbolic system to get a glance at how the AI system is thinking. Obviously a purely neuronal system can also do the trick. That is how the human brain works. But it would be great to make a system based on a symbolic AI, because it could be very interesting to observe its inner working. And it would also be possible to interact with it at the symbolic level.
It appears to be several popular programming fonts with a bunch of extra glyphs added. Does Vim require special font support, because I'm having a hard time figuring out the point of this.

Exactly so. While this is a major advance, I roll my eyes at the sea of comments hailing the arrival of a superior intelligence.

When the AI is cognizant of the fact that Go is a game, and knows what a game is, and perceives that the game is taking place in a larger reality, where there are other things happening while the game is going on....then I'll be impressed.
What are some good resources to learn Go?
I'd recommend using http://www.cccp-project.net/ or http://haruhichan.com/forum/showthread.php?7545-KCP-Kawaii-C... and never using WMP ever again for viewing videos.

> are willing to sacrifice margin of victory to maintain or increase their odds of winning. According to some people I've talked to, this can be suboptimal,

I suspect this is less suboptimal when a computer is involved since a computer never gets tired or makes an attnetion-based mistake.
What I found especially chilling was how the AI took its time when it thought it was ahead, and played exactly as aggressively as needed to win. It seems like we're seeing the full benefit of detaching logic from human emotional drives like pride, loss of nerve, etc. Which at first sight looks awesome, but in a way it's deeply terrifying, because if such a machine is ever given power in the real world, we would really like it to have some regard for human emotion. More than anything else I've seen, this makes me feel in my gut like I'm seeing my replacement.

Threading is already an experimental feature and Go-style concurrency will be a standard feature in the future. Well, technically it may be more like Cilk or TBB but it will be very similar to Go.
Pretty common (in North America anyways) I think. In speaking with teacher friends my impression is that math education has become quite formulaic with a large focus on learning algorithms to solve problems that occur in standardised tests.
My memories are a bit faded, but when I was in 10th grade in an EU country we did similar geometry problems.

This doesn't seem considerably harder than the kinds of problems I remember doing. So I'm not sure how impressive this is, maybe a teacher should weigh in.
I recently bought a Brother B/W laser printer. It has duplex, linux support and wifi. Only 81 EUR.

I would hesitate to label someone with the sort of vision and forward thinking that PKD exhibited as "crazy".

He wrote an entire book (exegesis) in which he meticulously describes his exploration of psychotic states and experiences that shook him and shattered his idea of reality. This is not what a "crazy" person does.
