I'm pretty sure I heard them say this.

They can see certain stats and high level overview.

But they have no idea what it's thinking.

They know the general pattern of the algorithm. They even explain it.

But the algorithm involves two deep neural networks, and they don't really know what's going on inside them.

One of the developers showed up during the commentary on the second game and talk about this stuff:

This is very cool. It does a lot of what I want, it kinda reminds me of wakari/anaconda but for javascript.

It be cool if you added the ability to upload a file rather than having to download it to test something.
I must admit that an absence of a plot is more probable than presence of one.
I pondered this for a bit wondering what the Microsoft equivalent of systemd is, and decided it's probably svchost: it runs a bunch of services on your behalf in an opaque way, and occasionally needs killing when it eats all your memory.

Microsoft already have binary logging that's much harder to read than text files. I'm not sure if there's an equivalent to process reaping, or whether that's handled by the kernel.
Yes, it's a fantastic aid, I don't know what I'd do without it when trying to debug code dealing with nasty mixes of arrays and hashes.

What would be fantastic for perl is actually something that javascript already has. In most browsers, if you print a data structure to the console, it is presented as a clickable tree structure, where you can show or hide the bits of the data that you want to check.

I'd love some way to recreate this in perl (and in a terminal if possible). The downside of Data::Dumper is that you can produce hundreds of pages of output, when you really want to just examine a tiny part of it.

Because of our different environment, none of those "needs" really exist though. Being part of modern society basically guarantees we stay fed and sheltered. Very few people are trying to procreate as much as they can. Some of us are choosing not to at all.

We eat high calorie foods because our brain tells us its good even though we're a little fat. We fuck each other because our brain tells us its good, while we use contraceptives. We go out and try to be successful because our brain tells us it's good even though our base needs are already provided for.

Sure you can say that we're tricking our brain, but only so far as you can say everything we've done since we discovered conscious thought and developed agency is tricking the brain. Hence why I find pointing it out in a specific case a little silly. "Hey you're only doing that because it feels good!" Well yeah duh? Same reason any of us are doing anything.
VimGolf is a fun pastime but in terms of speed I feel focusing only on keystrokes might not give you the full picture.

If the solution requires mental effort to do, some other way that is is easy and fast to arrive at in most cases could be faster in terms of time elapsed.

Would be fun to have the equivalent of typeracer for VimGolf with a series of tasks that would be similar to what you encounter when programming and a race against time. I wonder if it would be possible to come up with some kind of a "Edits Per Minute" that wouldn't be completely misleading.

It isn't the American Medical Association which I'm referring to, but rather the American Heart Association. From the parent's source:

> The DGAC used the 2013 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) report on lifestyle management to reduce CVD risk for its evaluation of saturated fat intake. The DGAC concurred with the AHA/ACC report that saturated fat intake exceeds current recommendations in the United States and that lower levels of consumption would further reduce the population level risk of CVD.

The cited work is http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/129/25_suppl_2/S76.long

This page explains it well - http://www.pcrm.org/nbBlog/index.php/new-dietary-guidelines-...

> The report suggested that cholesterol in foods is not a major danger, contrasting with the Institute of Medicine, which found that cholesterol in foods does indeed raise blood cholesterol levels, especially in people whose diets are modest in cholesterol to start with. On this topic, the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee did no original research and instead deferred to a 2014 report by the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology. However, the American Heart Association receives substantial cash payments for certifying food products, including cholesterol-containing food products as “heart healthy,” creating a financial incentive for discounting the relationship between dietary cholesterol and serum cholesterol.
The Physicians Committee is concerned that exonerating dietary cholesterol will only confuse an already bewildered public. Most people do not differentiate fat from cholesterol, or dietary cholesterol from blood cholesterol. To suggest that cholesterol in foods is not a problem will lead many to imagine that fatty foods or an elevated blood cholesterol level carry no risk—two potentially disastrous notions.

> Accordingly, the Physicians Committee has petitioned the USDA and DHHS to disregard the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee’s findings on dietary cholesterol. The reliance on the American Heart Association document does not comply with the spirit of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, which sets standards for bias among federal advisory committees.

They have filed a lawsuit against the USDA and Department of Health and Human

This seems to be a common problem among us engineers: that we are certain we know the Correct Tool, and everyone else is either stupid, ignorant, or misled. Or all three.

Interestingly, I've found that a focus on solving the problem at hand (say, installing a package on a hundred systems quickly and predictably) rather than a focus on using the Absolute Best Tool is much more likely to lead to a pleasant work experience for everyone involved.

That, and "the Best" is frequently subjective and, even when accurate, tends to get replaced in a few weeks by something else.
This is interesting because much of what has been written about Uber and lowering prices + surge pricing is the idea that Uber is trying to perfectly match supply and demand. If rides are consistently unavailable, that would be an indicator to me that their pricing is too low, and they aren't doing as good of a job as expected with this.

That is an implementation detail which might lead to a more fair system. Nevertheless it is not a solution to the real problem, which is creating the incentive to move away from the current status quo.

> So AlphaGo has taken amateur-pro-level board analysis ability, and combined it with tree search

I don't think that's an entirely accurate way of putting it, because a player who reaches that level is also doing a little tree searching. Maybe if you found some human who managed to reach "amateur pro" level by playing purely on snap, instinctual decisions without any logic or exploration of variants at all, yes, then you could say their ability to evaluate positions is as good as AlphaGo's.

But I would guess that you are right anyway that we can deduce that its ability to evaluate a board position really is below that of better professionals, and its huge strength is due to the tree search (which of course involves a second "policy" net to pick moves to explore).

> The "value" of heroin comes from it tricking your brain with chemicals that you need it and will die otherwise.

Most people who use heroin do not become addicted. The addiction rate for heroin is 23% according to National Institute on Drug Abuse [1]. Note that this is overall addiction rate, not the percentage of heroin users that are addicted, as most heroin addicts do not remain addicted.

In other words: The value of heroin for most users is the high, not that it satisfies an addiction.

EDIT: On second thought, is finding the holes really the bottleneck in The War on Potholes? And if so, isn't this better fixed with an answering machine, and/or a $5000 Rails app?

I might be wrong about you personally and I am speaking of the Linux Community as a whole.

I still find it incredibly hypocritical of people's anti-Microsoft stance while they walk around with their Apple products. I seriously see more Macs at every Linux event then any other kind of computer. Most Anti-Microsoft really is anti-Steve Ballmer.
The desktop (win32) Skype app is pretty crappy even on a surface pro 3 and a lot of features are still missing in their UWA apps. For something as important (for microsoft) as Skype the software is bad.
Their service here in Washington, D.C. is awful. I used to love Uber, evangelized it to friends, was even the first to show Sanju Bansal how it worked when we were at a gala. Everyone else was fumbling for their S-Class keys while our twin black Navigator vehicles proceeded to pick us up at the entrance.

That, to me, was the Zenith of Uber. The entire VC set of the city was waiting for cars and drivers gridlocked in the garage and lot, while some kid with an app summoned two fully appointed SUVs as if from nowhere.

I wore Uber shades, tried the various promotions. I was thrilled, absolutely certain that they were one partnership away from Google to automate city transport and leapfrog our ailing transport grid.

Then something changed. The lines between Uber and UberX blurred, and UberX drivers changed from well-dressed folks owner-operating, or working for car fleets, to guys with Jack Daniels hats, ponytails, and (this is literal) body odor.

Uber decreased in quality, both in fleet and drivers. Ubers used to be spit-polished tire-black shined towncars, and the drivers were excellent. Never an open door missed, a bottle of water offered, mints stocked, radio preference, and an AC at a comfortable temperature, which the driver would immediately offers to adjust.

It wasn't just the network that made Uber. It was the service. It literally outclassed the transportation of millionaires, with service options of the Four Seasons at the price of a Motel 6.

The service has now become so bad, that power users are like sailors following the rats off a sinking ship.

Then it's disclosed that one of the main showrunners has been spending all his time on some fucking branding project? And when it's finally released, the material he produced looks like it was created by a sentient bag of cocaine.

"We're particles that unite to form atoms, to something... something... interaction between meatspace and cyberspace.... unity, and particles and shit. Yo, you gonna hit that?"

Are you serious?

In summation: No moat, no network effect. It was nice of you to pave the way for self-driving car fleets, but unless you reorganize management from the bottom of the floor up, your balloon's about to deflate faster than Napster. Peace guys.

*Full disclaimer: I did turn down a second round interview at Uber due to their policies regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act. My consulting rate is $500/hr, and I'd consider fixing this mess with the ADA for half that.

I wish I had the opportunity to speak to your board for five minutes about the damage their ADA policies are causing.

Imagine a girl, unable to move unassisted, alone in the snow, as her driver throws her wheelchair to the curb screaming at how he doesn't accept people "like her."

My problem with Docker is that although the advise was always not to run images with root, in practice all Docker tools defaults to do precisely that and there are no plans to change the defaults.

At least these days they do provide options to restrict containers so secure usage is possible (--cap-drop=all is a good start), but still the amount of efforts to follow good security practices is high.

What a horrible worldview you have.

Yes disabled people shouldn't have any special rights but they should have the same rights as everyone else, the right to live as functional life as possible, if that requires that the rest of society make some accommodations then that's fine by me.

Any society is the sum of its parts, all its parts and should be judged on how it treats everyone able bodied and not.
> Now imagine the winning author of the next Hugo Award turns out to be an AI, how unsettling would that be.

I think that would be pretty awesome and amazing, to be honest.
The "Semantic" tag is misleading, because human perception parses lighting and textures cues in 2D images as 3D hinting.

Representational art is all about modelling, highlighting and/or transforming the hinting, depending on the level of abstraction. E.g. if you look at portraits, the pen/brush strokes usually emphasise 3D structures.

This code does a little of that, but the model is extremely crude compared to the models the human brain uses.

For genuine semantic perception you'd have to duplicate - and maybe improve - the human model. I doubt you can do that in 2D, because the human model is trained by years of genuine 3D perception.

That's not to sound negative - I think this is very impressive visually. But it could be taken further.
I generally agree that shaming people for choosing lazy/convenient options is bad. Quality of life and convenience should be a primary design factor, unless it's shown to be disastrously bad in some other respect.

Honest question for disability supporters though: Would you support a 1% tax on every able-bodied person, with the proceeds used to help disabled people better live their lives?

Because that's essentially the argument that the article is making in a lot of ways. Every time you make accessibility a design goal in a technology/product/building/service, it makes the design/production more complicated than it otherwise would be. It bloats the product spec. Makes the implementation more complex, which in turn makes it harder to understand and maintain in the future. It makes the manufacturing more onerous. In all these ways, when going out of your way to make something more accessible-friendly, it ends up taxing every single person who doesn't use or need those features.

Hence my question above. Similar to forcing/shaming companies into making their products disabled-friendly, would you support a X% tax on every single able-bodied person, with the proceeds used to better help all disabled people? And if yes, what do you think is a reasonable limit on X?
