>yeah you are right in terms of concept art; I figured that unfortunately more often than not the lines between concept, mood, detailing etc tend to be blurred depending on who looks at it; Also this is not going to replace individual character design or other specific assets, but might remove scalability issues w/ project that require a huge number of different backgrounds, texture variations.

You can already do that in 3D if the overall concepts have been decided and some basic assets are there. Just switching the textures, lightning conditions, and some predefined building blocks do basically the same thing as this algorithm, except it's already part of the pipeline, and it gives you much more since it's 3D.

The other thing is that these algorithms look indecently good when you see a thumbnail, but very bad if you're looking at it too closely. These cool 'concept art' pieces that look good are 90% of what people see, but they do not represent 10% of the concept art work; most of it are boring details of joints, how the blade is strapped to the costume, how windows open, unsexy stuff as can be (that you can't do with such algorithms).

Cray is a brand name that has been passed around between half a dozen companies (including Sun and SGI) dotted by various kinds of product reboots and commercial failures. Cool stuff but supercomputing isn't the most financially sound business it seems. The current name holder is the company previously called Tera, originally famous for making an aggressively multithreaded HPC computer.
There's an interesting angle to this phrase "intelligent species opening up a new way of looking at the world", which is that we (humans) designed go as a game - a subset of the real world we interact with. Go is "reality" to alphago. The superset of all possible sense data it could have, in principle. Whatever "chunks" AlphaGo uses, if it does use them, all of its policies are built only from subsets of the sense data that is the interactions (self-plays) and inferences from past games. There's nothing outside the game to bring into its decision process. With humans, however, our policies are noisy and are rife with what, for lack of a better term, I would call leaky abstractions.

Basically turning the US into the Earth bully noone can stop.

And then, theu will be used on US to soil keep the peace inside the country's border as well. For surveillance. Protecion. Then crowd control. Then more.

And after being the world wosrt nightmare you will taste, but too late, the biterness of this idea. And everybody will be in a sad state.
Of course, US is not the only one who could do that.

> The fact that AlphaGo beats someone beaten by Ke Jie 8 times out of 10 doesn't say enough about AlphaGo vs. Ke Jie.

8:2 implies the difference between them isn't so large. (If someone only beat me 8:2, I'd expect a professional to beat them 10:0.) Do we have any particular reason to think that AlphaGo would fall within that narrow skill band?

E.g. if Google specifically challenged Lee, thinking that AG had just about passed his level.

Alternatively by looking at the games and saying "Ke beat Lee by more than AG did, so Ke will beat AG as well". But many people have pointed out that AG doesn't optimize for winning by the greatest amount, so this probably isn't very informative.

Alternatively if AG's playstyle is strong against Lee but weak against Ke. But could Ke know that? AG's only played against two high-profile opponents, if it can adapt its playstyle we won't have seen that in action.
Google, should they win, is donating their money to Go charities, STEM education and UNICEF.

So they're doing what you want them to (I can't find a summary of how they're allocating the money across each category). Personally I think the work UNICEF is doing to help women in developing countries is more important than Go charities, but I guess their choices should satisfy everyone.

> It's both exciting and eerie. It's like another intelligent species opening up a new way of looking at the world (at least for this very specific domain). and much to our surprise, it's a new way that's more powerful than ours.

I have been watching Myungwan Kim's commentary for the games - and it seems notable that a few moves he finds very peculiar immediately when they are made, he will later point out to as achieving very good results some 20 moves later. So it also seems quite possible that AlphaGo is actually reading this far ahead, to find those peculiar moves achieve better results than from the more standard approaches.

Whether these constitute a 'new way' or not I think depends highly on whether these kind of moves can fit into some general heuristics useful for considering positions, or whether the ability to make them is limited to intelligence's with extremely high computational power for reading ahead.

However your not tipping your hat to the huge values Jenkins provides:

* Reporting such as unit test reporting
* Emailing and notification
* A well known plugin system
* User security
* Master / Slave management

Jenkins is not just a job runner. Its a job runner that collects reports, maintains history of the job being run, manages user security, has a public api (REST) and plugin system. That is a lot of stuff to implement on your own.

Really Jenkins just needs to fix the configuration drift issue.
In go, the purpose is to have more territory than the opponent. There is no point in humiliating the opponent by having a big advantage. I think the aim of the strange moves was to increase the confidence of the program in its advance, not to increase the advance.
To be fair most COTS solutions made for enterprises are absolute crap. It doesn't take much to improve upon them.

Yes, just like guns are a cheap, widely available technology and used by criminals and dictators already. I am not advocating drone wars, just saying it will happen; the US finds itself engaged in wars already - often several at a time - although it leads to both American losses and local civilian casualties. Which president would rather send in troops than robots?

Unlike the Americans, who have the planes, helicopters, rockets, tanks, carriers etc to launch these drones from a safe distance, it would be hard for terrorists to use it against Americans.

Americans would try to keep the technology to themselves for a while with usual non-proliferation laws and by using encryption on the deployed drones.

REALTOR University Receives Accreditation
I think the issue is more high-level, a question of "how to start and sustain a small-ish infrastructure-ish open-source business?"

There are successful open-source projects, sure. The predominant MO seams to be for the main developer(s) to have a true "day job" which implicitly or explicitly finances him while he works on the open source thing. If he's lucky, the project can transform into a business a full-time job. If not, screw it, it's business as usual.

As for thinking that something very useful will be well paid for, I think the OpenSSL project disproved it once and for all: unless someone is actively thinking about finances and going the extra mile to attract business and money to the open source project, it will be both governed and treated as a hobby project.

tl;dr: if you're betting on getting rich on writing yet another web server, I hope you have rich parents ;) That's unfortunate, but it's the truth.

I don't think the actual technology he was talking about is relevant.

The message is that people writing the linux kernel make a lot of mistakes, and it result in security holes. Those same people (or the same kind of people) also write X (Docker, x86 virtualization, whatevs...), so mistakes and security holes are to be expected.

I do not necessarily agree with the message, but this is how I understand it.
Technically, Rice's theorem only applies to "non-trivial" questions, i.e. those which are true for some programs and false for others, which are properties of the function being computed.

Hence we can work around the theorem, by either turning the questions we care about into trivial questions, or by turning questions of the function into questions about the implementation.

For example, we might ask the question "Will program P fire the missiles?". If the answer is yes for some P and false for others, then we cannot answer it for arbitrary P.

We can work around it by weakening the question to become trivial, e.g. "Is program P capable of firing missiles?". If the language allows missiles to be fired, then the answer is trivially yes for all P; if not then the answer is trivially no.

Alternatively, we can change the question to one of implementation, e.g. "Does program P contain the <fire missiles> instruction?". Assuming that our programming language contains such an instruction, this is a non-trivial question. However, since it's a question about the implementation (does that instruction appear) rather than the function being computed (which may or may not fire missiles), Rice's theorem doesn't forbid us from answering it.

Good to know. I was under impression (since WP7 was a current OS, I admit) that you have to upload to MS/have it signed/download.

> Still, nothing would prevent such stores to offer a server compiler service.

Nothing prevents that technically. However, it would mean a tighter coupling between platform owner and majority store owner, Google probably wants to avoid that. It could destroy the open-source nature of Android, since for now the Play Store is layered above open-source platform; this compiler would not fit there, it would have to go below, into the layer that is currently open source.
Hi folks, author here. Want to respond with a few things.

First, thanks for your support. The project has received the blessing of so many of you and dozens - over 60 - of you have jumped in to contribute code to make Caddy awesome. Really appreciate it, since I can't do it alone! The Go and infosec community has really been amazing.

As I say in the post, this is not a business plan. I'm not relying on this to earn a living. BUT I am a starting graduate student and if I am going to continue maintaining Caddy on the side of graduate school, it will need your support.

I know "free software" is a loaded term (cheers to rms) but in this post I hope it's obvious that I'm not talking about "free as in freedom" -- this post is about cost/economics. Caddy is still Apache licensed.

Also: Several people have donated to the project (and Arroyo Networks sponsors it) because they believe in free and automatic privacy for the Web, and they want Caddy's focus on UX to permeate to other software products. Even backend servers can have good UX. This is a cause that I feel passionate about and am happy to do for you, time/funding permitting. (I hope Caddy will help people see how easy security/privacy can be for the Web, similar to how Signal does it for SMS and Keybase for PGP.)

In the end, I wanted to raise awareness of an issue, that even "free as in price" open source projects have a cost, in time and talent that's invested by the developer. "This is just open source."
zypper-docker is kinda pointless. Just re-build from your Dockerfile using the latest upstream image. It takes like 10 seconds (depending on how many external dependencies need to be fetched).

Our Docker registry pulls down the latest images (that we use with our Dockerfiles) multiple times daily. So if the author of the Dockerfile just puts "FROM whatever:latest" they are guaranteed to have all the latest/patched software whenever they "docker build".

I think people are underestimating how big this is. When Brave did it you could excuse it as the action of a startup looking for attention; Opera now legitimizes ad-blocking as being a feature that should be on by default. This is similar to what went down with pop-up blockers, it quickly became a must-have feature.

I wouldn't be surprised if Safari was next and to ship their own content blocker in iOS and have it on by default.

The question is, how much will this trend cost Google?

Need a raise, how to ask?
This is probably a very simple question that a simple Google query can answer, but I'd like to get some opinions on the matter.

About me: - 3 year exp software engineer - 84k/year salary - Ruby on Rails, JS, CoffeeScript, MySQL, HTML/CSS (currently the UI guru..) - Oversee 2 folks on the US side (we also have offshore folks) and we all work under 1 App Architect - Company is based out of Boston - I live and work remotely outside of Boston.

The company has always been fast-paced. I work on everything for the front end. This means: 7 different Rails apps (internal & external), 5 different Rails engines, ~10 in-house built gems, and I also delegate work to 2 folks under me as a tech lead for a new project.

According to Payscale.com (including perks, etc):
- Boston rankings: 38th percentile @ 84k/year
- Where I live/work remotely: 75th percentile @ 84k/year

I continue to pick up more and more responsibilities, yet the 'cap' for raises is 10%. I'm at a point where I know I can find work that pays more, yet I do not have another offer. I'm currently interviewing with Google though, so maybe that gives me a leg-up?

Anyway, what merits do I have for a raise? Where I live/work vs. where the company is based, my ranking is drastically different. Yet, it'd still be cheaper for the company to give me a hefty raise rather than finding someone with my skill sets in Boston (RoR devs in Boston are super expensive and hard to find, so I feel like I've been taken advantage of).

How can I go about asking for a raise? My plan is to gather different estimates from different websites for both areas and then come up with a solid middle-ground for the pay that I'm looking for. Without another job offer on the table, it's hard to demand anything; however, I know that my company needs me more than I need them (not going into details here).

Just looking for some opinions and thanks in advance for any advice given here :)
