Probably not soon. Worth noting that the Go victory happened a decade or two before it was predicted to though.

(To clarify, I was not trying to establish that any intelligence explosion is on the immediate horizon. Rather, I was trying to establish that it's a pretty sensible concept when you think about it, and has a solid chance of happening at some point.)

From being in the top 10% to beating the top player is a gigantic difference. Until AlphaGo computers were indeed "not close" to besting humans at Go.
That happens if the winning probability of the other move is 1 as well.
Old dog here. I have the opposite problem: I should have begun sooner with CSS and HTML & JavaScript. NodeJS next.

There are issues.

1. Power source - battery, or something else?
2. Clean-up - do the drones self-destruct, or do they (literally) fall into enemy hands?
3. Range
4. Payload - HE? Are these flying mines/grenades?
5. Security - EMP, jamming, comm-layer hacks.

The defensive applications are probably stronger than the offensive ones.
Do you honestly think that a real soldier would be better at telling apart a child with a toy gun from a child soldier in a conflict zone?

A real soldier would be making this decision while being afraid for his life and life of his comrades. A drone operator or AI would be making this decision while being afraid for a cheap (especially by military standards) machine.

Guess which decision process produces more false positives?
Not necessarily cloud, but a lot of these patterns have to do with asynchronous distributed systems design (for example leader election, all the queueing patterns, sharding, circuit-breaker). CQRS is part of that (eventual consistency, scalability, etc.). Distributed systems are not necessarily tied to the cloud, but it's a very good fit because of the flexibility the cloud offers.
Time is a different type of dimension than the spatial dimensions. If you're really going to bring time into it, you need to use a dimensional signature, wherein one number represents dimensions that square to a positive number, another represents dimensions that square to a negative number, and another represents dimensions that square to zero.

A video is either {2,1,0}-D or {1,2,0}-D, depending on the mathematical sign convention you chose for your spacelike dimensions.

When people use a single number, they invariably mean spacelike dimensions, as null dimensions and multiple timelike dimensions tend to give people the screaming jibblies when they try to visualize them.
Not at all but maybe I'm not being clear. My definition of "graph database" is "a database which can efficiently represent graphs and offers functionality for traversing them, in order to allow queries such as 'find the business relationships between user X and user Y based on who they've worked with' (ala linkedin)"

This is not what gun does. It alternately calls itself "the simplest database out there", "not a database" and "a distributed cache". It provides a mechanism for sharing a list of objects across multiple peers, but must transfer all of the data to each peer. It is conceptually similar to downloading a large chunk of JSON from a server and using lodash, ramda etc to query it, but no one would call that a graph database.
Cayley can be run in two ways: as HTTP service or as a Go library that you import from your Go app. To insert into Cayley when it's running as HTTP service you can do something like: `curl http://localhost:64210/api/v1/write -d '[{ "subject": "Krissy", "predicate": "loves", "object": "Justin Trudeau"}]'`.

To insert in the 'embedded' mode you can do: https://github.com/google/cayley/wiki/Cayley-Go-API-(as-a-Li....

Same here, I did the same. Also: for me all MSDN pages became reeeeaaaally slow ever since I installed Ghostery. I just see a blank page for like 5 seconds before I can see the content. More people with this problem?
Legalization of almost any sort of dangerous substance is very complicated (complete free use). Its not black or white. In fact I would say most drugs are legal. They are just heavily restricted.

For example if you say legalize X can companies now put X in soft drinks as an ingredient? Can children be served X? X was probably not even illegal in the first place but just restricted.

Restrictions can be good (guns are clear example of what happens with out restrictions).

Isn't it more likely that the opposite is true, and Ko is the kind of thing where it is possible for a computer to play flawlessly?

I am very very very far from a Go expert, but Ko did always seem to be "first person to make a mistake looses". If that's true, I'm sure Sedol deliberately stayed away from it as an area where the computer is likely to be particularly strong.
What you describe is a push situation: the books come out and you have to try to keep up to speed with their release. It could however, also be a pull: whenever you feel like reading an amazing book, you just ask the AI to generate one for you, optionally continuing the last story you read.

Any government or quasi-government agent is a "bully".

But these bullies are worst when they compete with one another or move from place to place. When these kinds of bullies get (1) stationary and (2) feel safe from competition, that's when you actually get prosperity and safety. And if you destroy the big old lazy bully, it just means that thousand of small ones start fighting over his place.
maybe he's defining a "winning move" as something with > 50% chance of winning
You think it is two party representation to blame for the state of the U.S. legislature?

It's just as easy to blame the fact the smallest minority party in either chamber still has near-majority numbers. They're not incentivized to compromise the way a party that knows they'll never get more than 10% of seats would.

And government shutdowns as a result of legislative gridlock across the world aren't even correlated with a more-than-two party legislature.

> a database which can efficiently represent graphs and offers functionality for traversing them

First part is matching the commonly accepted definition (the one that had been around for about 50 years). The second part is your own invention.

> This is not what gun does

I did not even have a chance to take a look at that product yet. So far I'm just puzzled by the graph database definition some people seem to be using in this thread.
A real soldier can't watch 100 drones at the same time.

The problem with false positives is if you increase accuracy, but dramatically increase testing you end up with more false positives. So, we can trade 1 snap second judgment by a person, with 100 rapid judgments from an overworked person. A 10% chance of killing one person is better than a 1% chance of killing 100 people.
Actually, I don't see it as pure marketing fluff to call the new ASP and .NET Core "cloud optimized". Breaking the framework into smaller pay-for-play components to reduce deployment footprint and allowing for xcopy deployment of self-contained binaries without a globally installed .NET runtime really does help enable new scenarios for cloud containers and microservices.
The internet, in fact, provides the best support ever for closing your mind to anything that doesn't align with your world view. You just have to google for pages that confirm your beliefs, finding sites and forums filled with people who think like you do. Then you can deceive yourself into believing that your views actually have a large support. ("Pretty much everyone I know online on every site I go believes it!")

The upshot is that "subtle influence" is not going to work on those who are crudely entrenching themselves into some camp or other. For instance, you're not going to "subtly influence" some denier into accepting human-caused global warming. Not as long as he can find plenty of others and keep believing that his social circle is an unbiased sample of the population.
this is very similar to a post yesterday called codemill.io

Most of these changes would have had to have gotten started under Balmer. Nadella has only been at the helm for two years. If anything, Nadella has been doubling down on a plan Balmer put into motion.
That worked. Thank you!
Also, just stating that if Google throws me an offer, I'm obviously going to take it... but I'm not banking on that.

There is one uniqueness to human cognition: the allowance to be fallible. AI will never be able to solve problems perfectly, but whereas we are forgiven that, they will not be because we've relinquished our control to them ostensibly on exchange for perfection.
It's probably due to the relatively recent fact that neural networks stopped being "a 1990s fad" and became a thing again.

Differences between VMs and theoretical virtual constructs asside, with most databases you don't have a shared-nothing architecture. If you do then it doesn't make much difference whether you're on a 4-core VM or 4 1-core VMs. But the common case, for relational databases anyway, is all the data in one big memory space shared by all threads. That would be seriously hobbled by having to do IPC instead of just sharing the memory.

McKinsey Innovating Automotive Retail with Newest Tech
I feel as though I need a raise because my responsibilities have changed drastically since my last raise. I'm now managing people and leading a project.

On top of that, my pay has always been less than that of other folks in the industry doing the same work. These other folks that I've talked to also don't have to deal with the pain points of working with offshore folks in a timezone with a difference of 12 hours. I'm on meetings at 6AM and my day ends at 5PM if I'm lucky. Yet, I know people who do less work, for companies with 100% in-house teams that work 9 - 5.

Get an outside offer from some place you are willing to work at. Either they match it or they don't it's all one to you. Frame it as you having to do what's right for you and that you can't afford to leave that kind of money on the table. Working careers are short and you will never get that money back if pass on it.

It's the truth and it's something any half way decent manager can understand. It's not personal it's just a typical business decision for both parties. Expect that they may not match immediately. They will try to get you to wait a year or till the next cycle. The response is that you don't want to wait or leave money on the table due to the time value of money and the risk you are shouldering. Either they concede, sweeten the pot, or pass.

If you do end up with future promises get it in writing signed by your manager.
Read it and make sure there are no games.

I wouldn't bother with estimates or middle grounds. Where the rubber meets the road is what kind offer you can get somewhere else. You are asking for a pittance from them and for the most part unless it's a failing business they shouldn't care.
Simply amazing.

In those other fields, such as automobiles, an accident by a person may cause death of another.

On a computers your careless may not cause someone else to outright die (which tends to cause a lax attitude on the part of users) but they can still cause someone else harm, like inadvertently leaking someone's financial information or causing malware on your device to participate in a DDOS attack on someone. Time and again it's been proven that users are often the weakest link in this field no matter how tight the security is. It's only understandable for the engineers to be annoyed.

Yes the function themselves are pure mathematical functions, but the way to derive them relies on human intuition (not mathematical formula). It's like saying: I know how to do a 1 times 3, I just do 1 + 1 + 1, but I can't tell you why, then I can't say that 1 times 3 is just mathematics.
And what happens when the US decides that Hitler and Mussolini are actually pretty great guys, and that fascism must spread through Europe whether by "persuasion or force" (1); or that a democratically elected leader must be replaced by a brutal military dictatorship (2); or redefines "threat to national security" to mean any country that interferes with the US's "uninhibited access to key markets, energy supplies, and strategic resources" (3); and that "economic nationalism" (i.e: any other nation's right to profit from its own natural resources) must be "eliminated at all costs" (4). What then?

It's astounding how strong the propaganda machine is, and how ignorant of their own whitewashed history even some of the most educated Americans are.

Though it's not unprecedented: just a century ago, the world's most brilliant minds supported (and helped) Germany in the first and second world wars (e.g: the design of chemical weapons)... only five scientists signed an anti-war petition (led by Einstein), while the rest cheered on this new, "more civilized" age of warfare.

Nobody elected the USA world police. If it wishes to aid in peacekeeping, it is free to do so within the confines of international law.

Let me know what you think and also join us on IRC (#cayley on freenode) if you find it interesting.
My opinion is generally is founded on a radically different premise than most economic models. I think we should be optimizing the arrangement of our people and society for fault tolerance. In the long-view, cities are deathtraps (I say as somebody who loves to live in one). Failures in any number of centralized systems could result in hundreds of thousands of deaths.

A "fault-tolerant" society would look more like mostly self-sufficient communities of around 200 people with independent basic infrastructure: power, water, sewer, emergency services and food. These communities could be packed fairly tightly, but nowhere near as dense as modern cities. Independent critical infrastructures is required for any sort of real fault tolerance.
