Obviously Linux itself isn't subject, since Microsoft can't sue Linux. Linux also can't pay patent fees. This will always be about users of Linux, and Canonical is a particularly visible and outspoken Linux user.

It's not the least bit entitled to expect anyone to produce social value as a side effect of their living.

Further, I don't think anyone is saying Silicon Valley has to produce this value. It's not mandatory. Folks are just going to have their opinion, a low opinion, if you don't.

If you don't care that many people see the side effect of Silicon Valley as on net socially and value destructive, that's fine. No one is speaking to you who doesn't care.

But it's absurd to equate an appraisal of the social side effects of something with entitlement or a "demand for help."

I use a Microsoft Surface, and don't use the touchscreen most of the time (type cover + USB mouse are almost always connected). It is nice to have though - some things (like zooming into a certain section of a webpage) are more convenient with the touch screen (I've actually caught myself about to reach out and touch my non-touch desktop monitor a couple of times...)
This comparison is just silly, the context and the implications of the 4 points are entirely different.
Composing an amazing symphony is probably about as hard as being the best go player in the world. But I think we're much further away than you think.

AlphaGo needed a training set of perhaps a billion games to be as good as it is. The dataset of master Go games is perhaps a million games. So AlphaGo played at tons of games against a half-trained version of itself to reach the billion game mark.

This doesn't work for songs, because there's no one to tell AlphaBach whether any of the billion symphonies it makes are any good. AlphaGo can just look at the rules and see if its move lead to a win, but there's no automatic evaluation function for music.

Perhaps the Matrix wasn't using the humans for power, but rather the computers wanted to get good at writing music, so they gave each human in it slightly different music and watched their emotional responses.
God, no kidding. These comments are a disaster.
Isn't this just an example of the halting problem? As in, you can't prove that a program won't ever halt.
Yes, I agree. My point is that as soon as you are giving your AI "real world" problems, where the AI itself is a stone on its internal go board, you have to start worrying about these issues.

I'm torn on this. On one hand the sort of multiple version support offered by OSGi can be very useful, but equally debugging and coverage tools can quickly become confused because they may not cope well with multiple classes with identical names, and that ignores the fun of conflicting native libraries.

So for the first version I'd be happy to see this left to frameworks sitting above the module system, but I can appreciate other view points.
Brilliant answer - independent goal setting is a really interesting alternative phrasing of "soul" or "spirit" or "individuality", because unlike those, it can be easily observed or tested. Great writeup, thanks for making me think.

>> But Go is rich enough to demonstrate strong cognitive uncontainability on a small scale. In a rich and complicated domain whose rules aren't fully known, we should expect even more magic from superhuman reasoning - solutions that are better than the best solution we could imagine, operating by causal pathways we wouldn't be able to foresee even if we were told the AI's exact actions.

Hang on. Where are we going to find this magic agent that can do "even more" in "a
rich and complicated domain whose rules aren't fully known" (the real world, as
opposed to a Go board) than in a game of Go? What are we going to train such a
learner with, if we ourselves don't fully know the rules of the domain, as you
point out?

Even if a learner somehow magically found a superhuman path to perfect reasoning
which is unavailable to us, entirely by accident and purely on its own, why would
we select it from other trained learners to keep and foster further, if we think
it's actually pretty dumb, rather than magically smart?

You're saying at some point that a fantastic paperclip maximiser might
achieve superhuman intelligence and then lie in waiting, poised to turn us all
into paperclips only when it knew it was safe to make its move, basically. But,
how is it going to become that smart in the first place? It has to be smart enough
to know that it must bide its time, but dumb enough that its time hasn't come yet.
Sounds like a bit of an impossible double-bind there.

Just because sufficiently advanced AI may look like magic at first, it doesn't
mean we should start all believing in magic because it may just be sufficiently
advanced AI in disguise.

As far as I know, using neural networks for function approximation destroys the various convergence guarantees available. NNs can easily diverge and have catastrophic forgetting, and this is one of the things that made them challenging to use in RL applications despite their power, and why one needs patches like experience replay and freezing the networks.

My problem with her all along is that before Yahoo she literally has only ever had one job. And that job was part of the management structure with a successful company. While there she developed a reputation as a data-driven iterator, not a visionary leader who can create direction and focus. She inherited what others had already started, and figured out things to measure, then analyzed the measures very competently.

If you look at her tenure at Yahoo so far, this has all essentially played out and her lack of qualitative acumen has been the source of most of the news about yahoo since she's taken over. This is an incredibly expensive experiment and learning ground for her. At best she's gone through the ceremony of "bold and decisive leader", made some big acquisitions and started some big changes on key properties. But that's like adding ships to a fleet and telling others to change out their sails. She still hasn't pointed Yahoo to a distinct vector and it's just kept adrift since then.

I agree with many others that she would be much more effective as a COO type but lacks pretty much all the kinds of skills needed as the captain of a corporate ship.
> Suppose the first program is slightly longer, but takes less time to produce.

Then you may want to produce a lesser code. That's fine. You understand that it's not because it takes less time to produce a code that it is any better. Young wines are lesser than old ones, yet you may decide to drink young wines instead.

> The first program is slightly longer, but easily extended to do Y as well as X.

Thanks for this. So here the trick is that you can count X and Y as things that the program does. It's exactly like in accountability. Note that this trick is more powerful that it sounds at first because it gives actually a guidance to when you're over engineering and when you are not. Over engineering is then when you write a longer code than it should for the reason that X is something the program does when it's not. Like in accountability, you can sometimes extrapolate a little bit the results but not stretch them to far.

> suppose the same program to do X can be written in two different languages, but programmers who know language 1 are easier to find and cost less to employ than those who know language 2

Then, again, you may want to produce lesser code - which is none of anyone business. It is up to you to judge what is more profitable: produce a lesser code or buy more expensive programmers - in practice, this is misjudged tremendously by many.

Elm has a lot of beauty to it. I would definitely promote anyone interested in learning FRP in web development to look here first. They really nailed the essence of the architecture, and getting some experience with ML-family languages is bonus, as they are likely more approachable than Lisp-family languages for many. I'm really hoping Evan and the community can make this a more viable solution in the coming years.

That said, Elm can be difficult to use today. The foreign function interface is not all that great of an experience. There is a lot of friction in just defining, serializing and deserializing JSON objects. You wind up writing a lot of code you wish you didn't have too. Their great time traveling, hot reloading debugger doesn't actually hot reload anymore. And there is no real back end language synergy to speak of at the moment. Many are looking toward Elixir and Phoenix for support instead of more language-similar Haskell options like Yesod and Snap.

The competing PureScript, GHCJS, Websharper and FunScript alternatives also complicate the landscape that Elm plays in greatly.

"Reading this thread, I believe there's one aspect not discussed: in a battle between man and machine, it's debatable who wins and depends on the domain, but a man-machine combination always wins over both."

It doesn't 'always'. Advanced chess is already dead, and judging from the pro commentaries, they currently are worse than useless in an 'Advanced go' setting. That may change, but given how much faster computer Go is reaching superhuman levels than computer chess, the 'Advanced go' window may have already closed.

Why do we work so hard?
The internal post meet discussion will have stakeholders who say, "this technology is no big deal, we could build it in-house in six months." And yet it won't happen because there's no resources available to allocate and the idea would probably not get prioritized above existing plans during the OP1/2 process.

So:
A: if someone tries to pressure you with the idea that your business is not innovative and 'we could build this ourselves' just say 'OK go ahead and hire those 10 engineers that pass the hiring bar, you have two months to get the OP1 document together, and btw who's going to own this and push this ahead of their current priorities, you?'

B: I don't see the benefit to sharing, please see the Silicon Valley episode where the Pied Piper engineers start white boarding during a meeting with investors.

C: BATNA. Know what this would be for your negotiating adversary. And know your own.

D: Be confident, be strong, don't show weakness (they would love that). It's likely the acquisition is the only way this becomes part of Amazon's business because they won't be building it unless they suddenly can hire enough people for all the other projects that are already approved.

Also, Amazon passing shouldn't be a usable sign to other investors, they pass on most things.

Good luck!
Actually getting the support of other language communities would be even more useful. If you can find use-cases of the feature for other languages then it's going to be much more compelling.

It's odd that you leave out that it was the county that reset that password, "at the FBI's request"[1].

Why are you leaving out the last 20+ years of context? The FBI has been pushing for encryption backdoors for a long time. Even just last year Director Comey was insisting that they needed a "golden key" (aka backdoor) to encryption.

Yes, you're seeing a proxy argument at the moment, but it's by the FBI and anybody else who claims this has anything at all to do with the dead shooter in San Bernardino instead of the multi-decade fight over We The People using encryption.

The question really becomes: how long are we going to tolerate the US government acting in our names and with our resources in a way that most individual citizens disagree with?

Does anybody actually want to erode their own privacy or send their friends and relatives into armed combat? Even the people who ostensibly support these actions are just giving these agencies the benefit of the doubt that there is some great unspecified danger that us common folk can't be trusted with.

If these threats do exist, I think it's past time that we bear the responsibility for them together.

I'm not sure about WSDL, the only thing I understand about it is that it was originally viewed as a simplified version of CORBA for Web :) But did XML Schema actually had that cycle of incompatible extensions you describe? I agree it's a bit heavyweight, but otherwise its concept is pretty clear and solid. To me HTML and CSS look more like vendor extension soup you describe.

That said, there certainly will be extensions, because REST as it is is not sufficient for many scenarios. Take WebDAV, for instance: it has locks, batch updates, queries, standard support for sync, etc. REST has nothing of this sort. Have you ever tried to sync a large dataset against a typical REST API? It's very painful. While REST is simple, this simplicity mostly comes from being very basic. And WSDL and XML Schema are complex not because their authors are stupid (addition: or because there was some political wars), but because the subject itself is complex.

The problem with software patents is that any modestly sized chunk of code likely infringes on at least one overly broad patent that should never have been issued. Get a codebase the size of Linux and you're infringing thousands. Basically everyone in the industry is playing Russian roulette with a loaded lawsuit gun and we just hope the chamber is empty when the trigger is pulled. That's just a horrible system, and it's appalling that it's been like that for decades and nobody has fixed it.
Patents are part of how the tech world works (unfortunately!). Does the author suggests that all Linux related project will get a 'pass' because they decided for themselves that they won't participate in the patents party? Or maybe because 'Microsoft loves Linux'? Grow up.. I think Microsoft is playing it well embracing oss and still protecting their interests, I wouldn't expect more.

If high frequency traders add zero value then why do counterparties enter into trades with them?
I think from a technological perspective there's very little question that AlphaGo could play ko. I would have imagined that AlphaGo would be better at ko than most human players since it's a question of balancing risk across the entire board. Human players might be more likely to be exhausted and choose suboptimally by the calculation deciding between different stakes on the board, but MCTS will correctly optimize for the long term potential of each major branch in the game tree.

So I'd be very surprised if that turns out to be the trick. Things that are hard for human players are not at all necessarily AlphaGo's weaknesses.
> There are savants that have the ability to work with complex working sets e.g. reciting Pi to a ridiculous precision, multiplying very large numbers or recalling images with photographic detail.

>> AlphaGo's core is built around a similar machine learning technology to Deepmind's Atari-playing system - the single, untweaked program that was able to learn superhuman play on dozens of different Atari games just by looking at the pixels, without specialization for each particular game.

Woa there. The Deepmind Atari-playing AI was too specialised for each particular
game. It had a reward function that translated the score for it. It couldn't
learn the importance of the game score on its own, just from "looking at the
pixels" and it couldn't learn the significance of the score display and how it
changed as a result of its actions on its own. All this had to be hand-coded.
And if I've seen a hint that this means it couldn't really-really generalise to
other games, like Deepmind claimed, then that's this bit that you report
yourself:

>> Deepmind ... did reuse the widely
known core insight of Monte Carlo Tree Search.

That is no mere detail. That is the crux of the matter, right there. Deepmind
used their architecture to improve MCTS far enough that it could beat Lee
Se-Dol. They didn't just add MCTS to their already general-game playing system.

Because the original Atari-playing AI was completely useless for playing Go, a
game that doesn't have a score and looks nothing like an Atari game. So it
wasn't very general at all, despite Google's and DeepMind's claims to the
contrary.
