The irony is that individual company selection has an overall negative impact on foundation funds' returns. Asset allocation (beta) is so much more important than security selection (alpha) that it explains more than 100% of funds' returns.

Earlier, you said:

you might live for 1000 years in the body of a 25 year old, but if you age and then get the treatments, even though you might have the body of a 25 year old, you might have some scarring or other effects left over

I feel that you're moving the goalposts on me by talking about the initial stages when some might make it to 150. My comments were regarding what you originally said above, not what you might have meant and tried to clarify in later comments.

I agree with you that at first we might solve some problems that extend life some years here and there but still be left with other semi-debilitating issues.

But once you're talking about all of the issues needed to be solved to reach 1,000 years, the technology will have to be far far far beyond the ability to repair some scarred skin.

It seem's that you are naive. Rich people are leaving because the standard of living is higher at the moment, but this will change. China is still developing, having spent the last 50 years lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. Meanwhile, poverty in the US has increased to 14%. China will overtake the US as the dominant global superpower this century.

Sure, but when you say "tree search" people think of the traditional kind of expert system-based tree search. Traditional tree search methods prune trees by approximating subtrees according to some very specific rules decided on by human experts. This means in a tree search system, the computer cannot actually evaluate a position any better than the humans that designed it. The way it performs better is by running very many of these evaluations deep down in the tree.

When you're talking about some other kind of evaluation function, such as Monte Carlo rollouts, you usually prefix that to the tree search (in the case of Monte Carlo rollouts, "Monte Carlo tree search" or MCTS) to indicate that besides the basic fundamental task common to almost all AIs (finding the optimal branches in a decision tree) it functions completely differently from the expert systems.

So is the case with this program, which (in a first pass) approximates subtrees by a trained neural net, rather than Monte Carlo rollouts or an expert system. So using terminology that suggests classical expert system tree search is bound to cause confusion (as you noticed).

When playing, yes. Training is a different kettle of fish.
Advanced chess players require a society which produces enough surplus to afford enough leisure to allow someone to not only produce a brain not damaged by starvation, but to allow them to use that brain to learn chess at a high level. It took a very long time for humans to get to that level, even though chess is a fairly old game.

My point is, humans "in the wild" likely didn't have any equivalent to chess, because they didn't have sufficient leisure time. Chess is a product of an environment that's just as "artificial" as the one which produced cell phones.
Diplomacy has all pieces move each move, and multiple players you have to model (and interact with). That would be an interesting challenge.

Besides trap-laying, there's also a second useful "surprise" factor: your opponent is likely to have spent time on your clock to read out follow-ups to your most likely move.

Hey guy!

I've been working very hard on this for the last two months, and am excited to finally launch it. This is a Keyword Tool that uses multiple Suggest APIs to give you an exhaustive list of relevant keywords that are being searched for, along with the monthly search volume. You can also search for a combination of different countries and different languages.

APIs currently supported - Google, YouTube, Bing, Amazon, eBay, Wikipedia, Yahoo, Yandex and Ask

Most Keyword Tools start off as free, and when they gain a little bit of traction, they immediately turn off the free service. I wanted to make sure that my tool remains Free forever and therefore decided to name it such.

I can't wait to hear what you think!

Please do elaborate. I try to base my assumptions (which I accept may turn out to be completely wrong) on physics and experience in working in semiconductors.

I just don't see a 1000x+ decrease in the power required happening in a decade or two without some revolutionary technology I can't even imagine. Is this what you meant? I'm sure most people couldn't imagine modern silicon chips in the 1950s vacuum tube era. But now we're getting close to the theoretical, well-understood minimums in silicon chips, so another revolutionary step is required if another giant leap like that is to be achieved.
You would be even more surprised to know how many web development companies are still using FTP to upload content to websites.

Every time I hire a company to do Wordpress development on Heroku, one of the first questions is always "yes, we understand that you want to use Heroku, but can you give us the FTP password please?"
The main use of FTP these days seems to be cheap web hosting.

I'm not sure why there aren't more hosts who support SCP/SFTP but the vast majority of web hosts seem to only offer FTP access and that's what less technical users (e.g. non-developer Wordpress admins) have come to expect.
Is FTP that heavily used in 2016? The only use I can see for it now that hasn't been replaced by either a better protocol (i.e. BitTorrent) or a service (i.e. Dropbox) is shared web hosting, even then many now support SFTP (and git).

The tricky part of the whole thing is that the original writeup claims "there are compilers that convert C to circuits".

This is technically true but not helpful, because (as far as I'm aware) none of the good ones are open source or even publicly available at all.

Also, they typically compile only a restrictive subset of C, not full blown C. For instance, you normally have to be able to statically unroll all the loops. The only compiler that can handle full C works by using a (very large) circuit that emulates an actual CPU. Proving times are extremely high, as you might imagine.

Without a compiler, you are restricted to proving very trivial statements that are of little practical use (except as building blocks for more advanced apps) ... things like "I own the solution to a soduku puzzle" i.e. a pure constraint satisfaction problem.

TLDR; For the blowfish test suite (multi-threaded), it's almost on par with an m3.2xlarge, for the majority of other multi-threaded tests, it's a little quicker than an m3.xlarge, but for anything that is single-threaded, it's pretty slow.
It's trivial today. It would have been interesting perhaps twenty years ago?
> The drawback with Capture Go is that it emphasises the capturing part perhaps a bit too much.

I definitely agree. Just a few games (ie. just a few minutes) of Atari Go every now and then should be enough to teach that and then move on the the real thing.

Your game variant sounds interesting, btw!
One thing that's cool about Go is that the pieces get their value and power not from the rules, but from how they are used. In an actual game of Go, you will find groups of ten pieces that are casually thrown away, and you will find single pieces that the whole game revolve around. In the rulebook, they are the same piece, but in actual effort expended to save/attack them, you'll see they're valued vastly differently.

This happens in chess too, of course, but in Go their value is decided only based on how they are used. The sophistication is about the same, but the rules are simpler.
Indeed... Apologies to parent.

I recently had a client order SFTP from me, I thought I had misread and asked if they meant FTPS (FTP with SSL) but they insisted that they wanted SFTP.

This was a case where the client was quite informed and knew that they wanted encryption but that it would never work through a firewall so they ordered SFTP.

I was pleased about this but then came other challenges, MITM protection.

My solution was to use DNSSEC with SSHFP records. Unfortunately I can't guarantee that the client software supports it.
Yes, but remember that Lockheed and Boeing (in the form of ULA) will be using Blue Origin's BE-4 engine for their next heavy launcher. There's more than one way to become a big player in this game. Blue Origin aren't tryng to do everything at once. That worked out for SpaceX, but it was a really close-run thing - one more Falcon 1 launch failure, and they'd have run out of money. The Blue Origin business model is slower, but still looks like it will be effective.
Oh, interesting. We seldom had homework count towards grades when I went to school in Germany.

This data structure is called gap buffer, it's rather common in text editors because it's simple to implement and efficient on the most common use cases.

In the usual implementation the gap is only moved when you actually insert text, not when the cursor is moved, which makes it even more efficient.
I'd have thought that it's far more troublesome when the German equivalent merely has a subset of the same meanings but completely different meanings too (e.g. the English term for A has additional meanings B and C but not D while the German equivalent for A has additional meanings B and D but not C).

Hmm, the rant is just that - a rant. No solutions and many non-arguments such as outdated acronyms in the RFC.

I am with you that there are other solutions, but they are not easy to use for enterprise customers and that is where FTP still thrives. Rsync? Sysadmins maybe know this, but your marketing guy? BitTorrent? That's for illegal stuff and it is blocked on our company network.

You want to send a client (e.g. a newspaper) all your fancy videos and graphics (remember you are the marketing guy) to publish somewhere. The videos are of course 4GB per file.

What is the easiest way to share these files you have sitting in your "Marketing Campaign 2016" folder? Ask your IT department (just going by your suggestions):
- HTTP? Our server cannot handle file transfers larger than 2GB and times out after that. Also most clients don't have resuming capabilities. And don't even start with public file sharers our data is private.
- BitTorrent? Is blocked on our network. Also the client told us it is blocked by their ISP
- rsync? What is that? I'm a windows guy. Also I doubt that the newspaper will know what to do with some weird command line commands...

Just set up a quick FTP server (or use the existing one) and send the link to the client. Everything works. Resuming. Large downloads. Easy to use. Reliable. "Known" interface as the client just sees folders and files. Many clients available or just the web browser.

I am not surprised at all that FTP is not dying, I myself have often advised customers to "just use FTP" instead of whipping up a custom solution. It just works. The cost is low, the benefit high.

Sadly there currently is no run of the mill solution to replace FTP that "just works" for the average joe.
Why we should kill all well know old technologies? FTP should remain forever and if somebody wish to use it lets allow it. I don't understand all these kind of hype for new technologies. Are you kidding about Dropbox? Drop an old, well know tech by a fancy new protocol with vendor lock-in? Most of the issues listed here are already fixed in modern clients. I am using FTP every day on local LAN and also on internet. Never had any issue with connectivity, or firewalls (this is why passive mode was added) or file corruption. Not to talk about the ascii mode problem (That was a problem only with ancient unix clients).
