But I think a computer as a training buddy is indeed a good idea to improve Lee's skill. I don't know how Lee feel right now, he's defeated, there must be an enormous pressure inside of him, but I think he will appreciate the challenge because he needs more challenge! He has played against top players all over the world now for his 20+ years since earning 1 dan rank. Also, I think the computer play against itself and many random moves. Unlike human players, one would expect computers to play unconventionally since the computer can predict so far ahead about the probability of maximizing winning.
Really well put, thanks. It's a little meaningless to acknowledge Obama's straw man opponent, but on a purely tactical level I think it is more effective to seek out maximalist position that includes not just a right to strong encryption but also a scaling back of mass surveillance, as you are advocating here. It is unfortunately too easy for him to paint the pro-encryption side as absolutists when the debate reduces to a binary strong vs weak encryption. It is really disheartening to see him take this position.
I think you're indeed arguing a sensible definition of Artificial Intelligence, but it's not what most people (especially laymen) mean by the phrase. I think most actually equivocate AI with Artificial Sapience: some cognitive architecture that can—in theory, with the right training—do all the things humans do (socialize, write persuasive essays, create art, etc.) at least as well as the average human.

Though in all honesty, I think a lot of people just want to see a machine with emotional "instincts" and an understanding of tribal status-hierarchy dynamics such that you can empathize with it. A lot of people would consider a machine that accurately simulated a rather dumb chimpanzee to be "smart enough" to qualify as AI, even if it couldn't do any useful human intellectual labor.
A few years ago, I had a friend who became addicted to I Ching divination and wound-up making every major and minor decision based on I Ching dice rolls.

For him, it worked out terribly, in the sense of pushing closer to a psychotic state.

From that experience, it's hard for me appreciate the poetic vagueness of this stuff given that same poetic vagueness helps sell Western Astrology.
Maybe there's some kind of effect of people starting to reason about what they give away. Looking at a high volatility commodity like Bitcoin alongside the 'normal' payment options probably triggers some unconscious thinking about the right moment when to give away money, the right amount etc, which all leads to indecision and lowers conversions.
You can ping Barton (the project Sputnik head) on twitter about pricing and availability bugs. He usually gets them sorted quickly and is happy about feedback. I've reported issues when the XPS13 launched. It works. They fix this stuff.

But keep in mind that the EU/Prague pricing might be different once launched there.
I'm within my rights if I write a bunch of jibberish on a piece of paper which represents some secret coding of my personal thoughts, and I refuse to tell you how to decode it. The government can get a warrant allowing them to look at that piece of paper, but as far as I know, they have never had the ability to compel me to explain how to interpret it.

In my opinion, encrypted data should effectively be treated like secret thoughts you may or may not reveal to others or something you've hidden so well nobody will find it. They can analyze the ciphertext, and they can attempt to use surveillance techniques to get you to reveal your secret/key/hidingplace, but compelling you to help them get those things goes too far.

Humans will evacuate an area on the basis of enough radiological threat that one in a hundred gets an additional tumor sometime in middle age, or perhaps if one in ten neonates in the same area are born with some visible deformation.

Wild animals need a threat thousands or perhaps tens of thousands of times higher to actually threaten their ability to sustain themselves. All they need to keep the population up is replacement-level fertility on average, and most animals are physically capable of many, many times that level.

In this higher dose scenario lifespan is reduced so much that it starts to impinge on their reproductive capabilities, which are usually food/habitat limited by human influence (or previously to humans, by predators and disease as well).

Humans made a tradeoff towards k-selection: in order to support these huge skulls & brains, we made childbearing an epic process that takes a decade, and made childbirth quite dangerous. For something like heavily r-selected fish, two parents might produce ten thousand eggs, and only two of them need to survive to breed to sustain the population. Remove all the other things that kill this example fish, and each generation is five thousand times the size of the previous generation. Most mammals are somewhere between fish and humans.

Free up the habitat and let them reproduce ad libitum, and over all but the worst-hit areas, wild animal populations will grow rapidly because the radiation is less of a population stressor than the people, their cars, their pavement, their agriculture, and their fishing nets were.

This was not an expected result. The efficacy of Chernobyl as a wildlife preserve was kind of a wake-up call for ecologists about how deep into the anthropocene epoch we actually are.

Liquidation usually incurs a fee. Once you add up the buyers fee to convert fiat-> Bitcoin, the Bitcoin transaction fee, and the seller's conversion from Bitcoin->fiat, Bitcoin's marginal cost benefit over credit cards is slim.

As miners become less subsidized by block rewards and must rely more on fees for covering costs (and/or full blocks cause a spike in Bitcoin fees), it seems like the cost-per-transaction may swing in favor of fiat payment schemes.

I wholeheartedly agree. I just had a "we feeble humans" moment when I made my comment about our prejudice. And as you point out Sedol's brain can of course do a lot more than just play Go. So, my feeling of feebleness on behalf of humanity was thoroughly unfounded! In fact, it can be argued that our brains are probably too powerful computers for our own good. But who knows, maybe things will conspire and turn us into seals living of some obscure beach on the Galápagos in about a million years. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gal%C3%A1pagos_%28novel%29)
Particularly for "small" languages like Go and C, there is a benefit to sitting down with a comprehensive reference and reading it cover-to-cover. A few hours/days spent in quiet study will pay dividends over just searching Google/Stackoverflow for how to fix whatever your current problem is.

Yup, we fixed that (deprecated in the latest release, will be switched over). It was super annoying.

There's been lots said on the 1-based indexing discussion, so I won't get into it here, but I can guarantee you that "open source Matlab" is not the ambition. Our ambition is to be the best possible programming language for technical computing and a great language for programming overall.
Also `jq` is awesome - for querying and processing jsons on the command line.

Don't have the link offhand, but I read on Reddit that Lee Seedol and a few other Go professionals pulled an all-nighter coming up with ways to beat AlphaGo, and one of their guesses was that AlphaGo would be bad at Ko's. I think the reasoning was because that hadn't happened in the games, so they assumed it was avoiding them.
It used to be a big problem. It's still not super fast (~1s or so), but we've been doing quite a bit of working at making it faster. If it's significantly slower than that, something else must be going on.

Lambdas (in Java 8) Screencast
Hey guys, I am the author of this screencast series. BitPress is a company made up of passionate engineers who also love to teach. We noticed a lot of Java developers struggle with or are not exposed to Lambdas introduced in Java 8, so we decided to make a concise, entertaining, and reasonably priced screencast series on Lambdas. There will be a Streams series following up soon, continuing to cover the awesome new Java 8 features. This has become even more topical with the support for (some) Java 8 features in Android N. We also think non-java developers could benefit from seeing how Lambdas are used conceptually as well. Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback!

> "The program, by definition, must be "correct" in order to execute"

This definition of 'correct' is why software may have a poor user interface and many security holes.

Your observation also assumes that the language is completely specified. In C, for example, certain constructs lead to undefined behavior. As a modification of the old warning, running your program may unexpectedly cause demons to fly out of your nose tomorrow. Execution therefore does not imply correctness.

Proof verification, btw, offer a "source of correction" for mathematics -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_theorem_proving#Rela... .
No, they did not misrepresent the strength of the program. They did not know the strength of the program. The purpose of the match with Lee Sedol was to determine that.

So far, they have tested a previous iteration of the program against a much lower level professional, as well as all of the other Go engines they could test it against. It easily defeated all other Go AIs, but no previous Go AI has been able to compete at a professional level. It also defeated Fan Hui, the lower level professional, though it made several mistakes and lost a couple of the informal games (with lower time limits) it played against.

Since then, they've had several months to tweak it, and then let it train against itself some more. The thing is, to really determine its strength, you need to have it play serious games against professional players. So there really was no good way for them to determine its strength without playing these games. It's possible that it only would have improved a little since it's games with Fan Hui; in that case, the match with Lee Sedol may have been easy for him. However, it appears that it has improved substantially.

That statement is indeed a bit vague. Let me elaborate:

In the process of deriving the said equations, an equation for the radial coordinate of the photon was achieved. This was identified with a classical, Newtonian system of one particle with unity mass. As the real, massless photon lives in four-dimensional spacetime and the said massive "test particle" lives in three-dimensional space, these systems just can't be dynamically the same (in spacetime, the massive particle would take a timelike curve).

To reword the statement, the derived "equation of motion" will yield the same trajectory in the spacelike components (x, y, z), but possibly with a different parametrization - in the classical system, we're integrating the equations of motion with respect to the time. However, this has nothing to do with the "coordinate time" of the four-vectors nor the proper time of the particle (for the photon, proper time doesn't even make sense).

Hope this helps! You could also see [0] for an alternative take on this derivation. I will try and clarify my article a bit as well.

I think they expected that the computer to play a good game, but probably they were not sure about the outcome. Anyway, Google has Billons in the bank, so if they were defeated they would not miss that single Million too much.

Randomly.
The first two would be even better.
One of the issues basic income attempts to address is increased levels of automation and the associated decrease in the overall number of jobs available. As a society, what should we do about the people who will be driven out of the job market by this trend?

I personally believe basic income is a much better solution than the wellfare systems we have in place to deal with mass unemployment. Traditional need-based wellfare systems actually disincentivize work in that you can often lose wellfare benefits once you start working full-time, whereas basic income has no strings attached, and any work you choose to in hopes of improving your standards of living will actually improve your standards of living instead of being a trade-off.
Think about that we're constantly pushing toward our own replacement.
It's because of the color profile used by avfoundation, quicktime requires a specific profile. You should be able to open the file with mpv/mplayerX or VLC. If you want to open it with quicktime or imovie, you need to reencode the file with a specific color space, more info on the ffmpeg wiki[0] (Using -pix_fmt yuv420p should be sufficient). Sadly, you cannot record directly in yuv420p with avfoundation.

This can also imply that for Google it is worth $1M to know where AlphaGo still has weaknesses.
It implies that it costs money to get a high-profile match against someone like Lee Sedol, and it costs money to draw public attention, and it implies that they thought they at least had a decent chance. Nothing more.
"Server-side HTML generation"... literally each word in this phrase shows how bad things are now in 99% of websites and - what's even worse - we still have to somehow follow these things for some sucky search engine bots that still don't run JS (yandex and other crap).

Let's begin from the end: generation. With a proper presentation layer, we wouldn't have to generate anything. We have data (from the server and/or local in-browser storage) and presentation modules, and we just feed data right into these modules on demand.

Next: HTML. In an ideal situation, we wouldn't touch any raw HTML string at all. Presentation modules, in effect, are responsible for DOM rendering of the page parts they are in charge of. And proper partial rendering usually doesn't involve innerHTML and other raw hacks (well, maybe for quickly clearing element contents, it will do). No escaping hell and other "fun" things.

Next: server-side. Screw all the dogmatic rules that the presentation layer must run on a server. The server should be responsible for handling all non-view logic providing the API for the client to communicate with (from simple AJAX/REST to something more complex like WebSockets) and serving our scripts and assets as fast as possible with proper caching headers, that's all.

This model, if applied wisely, will just make everything easier. I'm in the process of writing an article on it. But as I see Angular in this stack, this particular implementation doesn't show any sign of wisdom. :) Kill the overkill and keep it simple, stupid.
I once used Philip K Dick for divination, and that had some very unexpected results.

The I Ching always seemed rather Rorschach-y. But that could be because I've seen suggestions that the popular Wilhelm/Baynes translation is rather Westernised and some way from the original meanings.

It's probably like trying to make sense of Shakespeare if you grew up in China and didn't start learning English until you were an adult. The language isn't just poetic - it's metaphorical, idiomatic, and allusive, and it's probably impossible for non-natives to truly understand it.
> I thought resetting wireless routers was the norm (all my friends agreed it was a normal thing).

Trust me, hanging or rebooting is the best of the bad things your router can do to you.

I had one which would pass LAN->WAN packets without NAT translation if the endian-swapped destination address matched the LAN address block. Want to access X.1.168.192 on default settings? Sorry, not today.

And, of course, I didn't use 192.168.1.0/24 but 10.0.0.0/8. It took me weeks to figure out that the thing those few websites which suddenly stopped working had in common was IPs ending with .10 .

This was few years ago and since then I haven't bought a single router which wouldn't run OpenWRT or at least DD-WRT.

I pretty much see taking bitcoin as an automatic sign to be wary of a business. I have walked away from online stores or services because they offered it.

At best, it shows an incredibly shaky understanding of how to build a sound business. At worst it signals a level of shadiness I don't want my money anywhere near.

EDIT: I am surprised that a community which so regularly likes to makes claims at business acumen would have so many eager commenters who would need to actually have it explained why use of a currency with more price fluctuations that the Zimbabwe dollar, and which cannot be reliably exchanged for other currencies because its money changing firms go out of business or turn out to be open frauds on a near-monthly bases, is not a sound business decision.
"We have offered them a discount of 2 months, which I know is not substantial..."

A discount of two months (17%) is very substantial for a one-year prepayment (your customer can maybe get 1% a year from keeping that money in a savings account). You'll need to evaluate whether it's worth it to your business to give them even that discount.

For example:

- If you're financing your company off credit card debt at 20%, than giving someone 17% off to get money up front would actually save you money.

- If you're suffering desperate cash-flow problems and need money tomorrow to pay your operating expenses, then it might be worth giving someone a steep discount to get money today.

- If it costs you $500 a month in expenses to provide the service, then a 50% discount on $1000 would wipe out all your profit.

If you're getting adequate revenue from your current paying customers to keep the company going, you may not want to give that kind of discount. The problem with giving them a discount is that they'll expect another discount when the contract comes up for renewal in a year. And they'll tell their friends that your company gave them a discount, so future customers might also ask for one.

If you do end up giving them a discount, you might want to negotiate additional terms that are advantageous to you, such as being able to say on your web site that this company is your customer, and being able to use them as a reference for other customers. That might be worth something if they're a billion dollar company with some name recognition.
Instead of downvoting this comment, let me provide a counter example. Imagine the knapsack problem, where you can lift 10kg and you have a 10kg gold bar and 5kg cinderblocks. In this case solving 2 5kg knapsack problems will give you two cinderblocks, which is obviously not optimal.

I don't know a lot about the strategy of go, but it seems to me that any play that doesn't take into account the entire state of the board is allowing for the same class of sub-optimal behavior as the example above.
I have a Netgear WNDR4300.

I reboot it about once a year, as in, it has been rebooted three times that didn't involve firmware updates in its entire life, or about five times total.

If your router is that flakey, just replace the router.
