And yet you can probably still play as a ninja without owning the expansion set. FYI, I was on the d2 patch testing team.
Exactly! Just use OpenPGP! Once you've set up OpenPGP for all developers and operators that deal with secrets and production databases, it is a piece of cake to simply click the 'encrypt' button in the e-mail client whenever you need to share production log files or other potentially sensitive information with colleagues.

In an ideal world sensitive data never leaves the production environment or the machine of the developer or operator working on it, but sometimes things break down, and you need to share information to find out what went wrong, as soon as possible, with colleagues who are not necessarily physically nearby. It is best to have these tools set up and part of your work flow when you do need them.
Oh, I agree; it's inverted relative to the CC mechanism.
This comment is the ignorant one, but perfect for HN where mass hysteria governs the voting.
>> This is no different from mathematics where each "X theory" is essentially its own language

Nice connection between models and languages.

The maths/physics discoveries achieved by using a new representation of a problem don't change the problem, they just present the issue at hand simply enough to be tractable. Each representation moves complexity trade-offs to a different category of problem.

I guess that does say something in favour of automatic syntax conversions but it seems too low level. Maybe conversions between the mode of abstraction being used is where it gets interesting.
Here's the post-game conference livestream:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCALyQRN3hw

At the end, Lee asked to play white in the last match, and the Deepmind guys agreed. He feels that AlphaGo is stronger as white, so he views it as more worthwhile to play as black and beat AlphaGo.

Conference over, see you all tomorrow.
Work for only 3 hours a day, but everyday
The post match conference analysis with Lee Sedol and the CEO of deepmind about the different aspects of the game is beautiful to watch. There seems to be a sense of sincerity rather than the greed to win from each of the side.
The argument makes sense.

Yet, if so, we should see unreasonably high PEs for big companies (particularly the ones in the Dow).

Why isn't that the case?
At that point, there isn't much difference in terms of affordability for your average person.
In Israel, first grade is for 6 year olds, getting out of kindergarten and into elementry school, so if you want grade to age conversion just add 6, ie 10th grade = 16 yo
By that measure, Fan Hui beat AlphaGo before Lee Sedol did, since he was playing an earlier and bit weaker version of more or less the same complete, distributed, system.
That's correct, I made it because I wanted to illustrate an idea.

However I think it can still be useful, and already there are precedents: semi-visual languages with underlying text source, lisp bi-directional macroses.

Do you think my another hivemind idea can be useful? Regrouping code based on structure and intent

(e.g. Group source by class / by method / in groups of highly-connected components)
Well, that's where AlphaGo and the progress in Go AI that it represents is so exciting! The game of Go is so fluid with such a huge number of possible positions that players tend to adopt certain styles of play en masse. I've heard it said that you can identify a Go player's mentor or "house" just by the style of play they use.

This has also resulted in larger shifts in playing style over time. Studying very old (and I mean very old...700+ years old) games can be entertaining and even educational in the abstract, but you won't want to directly adopt the style of play because the game has evolved.

It's already been mentioned a couple of times that AlphaGo almost certainly represents just such a shift. Top players will learn from it, and I'd even be willing to bet they will beat it with some regularity once they do!

Ultimately, what sets apart Go geniuses is their ability to play creatively in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. So the big question is how "creative" AlphaGo can be. Is it merely synthesizing strong play from known positions? Can it introduce novel strategies? And if it does, will it be able to adjust as other Go masters adjust to it and bring their own brand of creativity to play?

To answer your original question, this very well could introduce a new era of more aggressive play to the world of Go. Only time will tell...
> consumer data-mining and targeting may be a net lose

It is at net lose.

And our current society's concept of ever-increasing growth, based on ever-increasing consumption (aka "the latest iPhone is out, you must buy that now"), is very obviously not sustainable any longer. It was sustainable during the period when our resources seemed "unlimited" to us.

It is however not a lose to Google & Co. who continually gain power over governments all over the World.

What Google ads page?
The value/policy model includes a few hundred thousand amateur games, and a few hundred million games of self-play. Once AlphaGo beat Fan Hui those would have been games of self-play versus the equivalent of a professional. So overfitting is probably not a problem. I think it's a basic incentive mismatch - MCTS algorithms tend to like close games, whereas humans will try crazy moves when losing to throw off their opponent.
So where can we see this "move 78" that everyone is talking about, without having to go through the entire match counting?
I appreciate what these guys are doing. The chat format is faster and discussions can be had in greater depth, relative to the Q&A format. While Q&A has it's own benefits, like being viewed by more people, both are valuable and I appreciate the service you are providing.
> The goal of copyright laws is not to "prevent dissemination of information" but to encourage better intellectual works by granting their creators temporary control of them

We know that copyright systems originate in efforts by the state to prevent publications from being disseminated freely. This is all part of the same political impulse that made private organizations such as volunteer firemen illegal -- if you let people assemble and speak to each other, who knows what might happen.

So you've stumbled into the interesting question "if we create a system to promote goal X, but later decide we can't endorse X and relabel the system as promoting goal Y (without making non-cosmetic changes to the system), what is that system's goal?"

It's like the Ship of Theseus for organizations. It's not really crazy to argue that the goal is still X.

(As to this particular case, I don't believe that the US government is particularly interested in using copyright to prevent stuff from getting published. But I do think the people saying "the goal of copyright is to prevent certain things from being published" have a reasonable argument that deserves more than just an offhand dismissal.)
Lee asked to be black, because there's 7.5 points advantage for the white who follows the black, and Lee won as a white this time.
AlphaGo obviously made mistakes in game 4 under the pressure from LSD's brilliant play. I'd like to know if the "dumb moves" are caused by the lack of pro data or some more fundamental flaws with the algorithm/methodology. AlphaGo was trained on millions of amateur games, but if Google/Deepmind builds a website where people (including prop players) can play with AlphaGo, it would be interesting to see who improves faster.

Yubikeys are very durable and small; just put them on your (physical) key-chain.

To prevent losing access when you lose your key, ensure you have a backup yubikey, or backup the keys stored on the yubikey so you can create a new one. If you use a solution where the secret cannot leave the key (such as Fido U2F keys) than register your backup key with all the services you use as well, or generate recovery codes for each service. Needless to say, these should be stored in a very secure place.
> Different people have different goals for the laws. For a sane comparison, you should look at the most laudable goals

I couldn't disagree more. This makes you a simpleton who's excessively vulnerable to baptists-and-bootleggers type efforts. Don't ever support legislation (or anything else!) because it's labeled with a goal; attaching a goal to something is free.

This comic is actually highly relevant: http://dilbert.com/strip/2003-10-05

For a sane view of laws, you should look at the effects. What people say they want the law to do just isn't relevant compared to what it actually does.

negativist paranoid skeptic could say that it would be a good move for the team to intentionally make αgo lose single battle in the moment it has already won the war..
Or maybe it was just the computer version of grasping at straws. None of the future gamestates looked good, so it ended up picking whatever could at least theoretically lead to a comeback, even if that would require Lee Sedol to miss a completely obvious move.
The biggest problem is not how many but how we are living.

From our mostly meat diet to our inefficient mostly individual transportation systems to our consumerist society that produces tones of useless garbage all of these with very high carbon footprint, pollution and big environment impact.

Again, I don't think we're talking about the same concept. I also fail to see how training over an entire trajectory is going to help you with trajectories you've never seen. Also, these nets are definitely trained with discounted long-term rewards.

What I wrote was actually somewhat speculative. More recent Dutch etymology research ( http://www.etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/hangmat ) says that there is an early German find Hengmatten [1627; Pfeifer], more than 40 years before the first Dutch find (1669). Still, Philippa et al. claim, the German must be a loan translation from Dutch, both because it is a sailor's term in the Dutch Golden Age, and because a direct German derivation seems less plausible as it would have more sound changes.
You can use your other contracts as leverage. I have a large number of contracts where I have agreed that if I offer any new customer a larger discount I have to turn around and provide the same lower price to them. This means that if I provide a new customer a higher discount I lose money since the new discounts to my existing customers are greater than the revenue from the new customer. I just tell all my new customers this and the whole issue of special pricing goes away.
> Or a "yes we already know that" filter...

This is what really gets me in every thread about anything. People begin touting their opinions from basically their gut or first principles without getting to the state of the art of the discussion before proceeding. We now have four #alphago threads with many of the same comment chains. What can we do to prune all of that stuff on similar threads or reposts?
Nah, they let the european champion lose 5-0.
Ah! This matches up with Demis' tweet that black's 79th move was later determined to be a mistake. In MCTS you wouldn't normally go back to moves you've already played unless it's an incomplete information game. However I guess for reinforcement learning (even if it's not actually done during these matches), you would go back and update the estimated values of moves already played, which explains how they know that.
> If I had to guess (and this is pure speculation), AlphaGo has no concept of waiting for its opponent to make a mistake. Instead, it assumes its opponent will continue to make the best possible follow-ups

One of the DeepMind guys just confirmed that this is how AlphaGo operates in the press conference.

In the post-game press conference I think Lee Sedol said something like "Before the matches I was thinking the result would be 5-0 or 4-1 in my favor, but then I lost 3 straight... I would not exchange this win for anything in the world."

Demis Hassabis said of Lee Sedol: "Incredible fighting spirit after 3 defeats"

I can definitely relate to what Lee Sedol might be feeling.
Very happy for both sides. The fact that people designed the algorithms to beat top pros and the human strength displayed by Lee Sedol.

Congrats to all!
It is one way to say that AlphaGo's value network can get wrong.
Neither of those are really evidence overfitting isn't a problem.

You tell whether overfitting is a problem by evaluating performance on a held-out test set.
To add to this, it seemed to have no problem makkng moves wothin the 60 second window (at that lte tage of the game).
AlphaGo lost half the games it played against itself, so it's not like it doesn't have millions of training examples. However maybe it didn't learn very well how to recover once it's losing, but rather concentrated on learning how to avoid that in the first place.

I use Monkeysphere (http://web.monkeysphere.info/), which aims to use OpenPGP as a PKI for SSH keys. It basically provides scripts to generate the authorized_keys file from a list of a OpenPGP key IDs (on the server side) and feed the GPG private key material to ssh-agent (on the client side). I think the client step can also be used directly by gpg-agent (which can play the part of the ssh-agent as well), but I am not using it. I am overall quite satisfied, but see below.

PROS:

* When you update your trusted GPG certificates (adding new auth keys, revoking others) the authorized_keys files get updated at the first execution of monkeysphere on the server (you usually put that in cron together with gpg --refresh-keys). So you can rekey without having to change manually all the SSH accounts you have.

* You do not need to recompile or patch SSH and it is compatible with other keys not fed by Monkeysphere.

* The GPG PKI, although not perfect, has quite some features; in particular, it lets you somewhat easily manage different keys on different computers, generate and revoke subkeys independently. The web of trust also helps you when trusting keys from other people.

* Monkeysphere can also be used for SSL certificates, although that is more difficult and less supported (and also less useful, now that we have Let's Encrypt).

CONS:

* Monkeysphere's development appears to be a bit stalled; not the ideal situation for a security-related thing.

* Monkeysphere does a good job, but it should not be trusted blindly. There may be a number of situation where external conditions may break the game; e.g, if you do not realize there is a misconfiguration, a revoked key may remain in authorized_keys because Monkeysphere is failing at updating; if you trusted Monkeysphere to do everything correctly, you would be exposed without knowing it.

* The GPG PKI as well is not perfect; for example, key management is complicated with many subkeys (for instance, you cannot give meaningful names to them) and the web of trust mechanism does not support "scoped trust" (i.e., giving different trust levels for different things you want to do).

* Monkeysphere only works when the remote host is a Linux box where you can install Monkeysphere and have it update authorized_keys via cron. No hope to manage GitHub keys or things like that (unless they introduce support, which seems unlikely).
Don't want to sound all Conspiracy Theory but somehow this feels planned.. It plays into DeepMind's hand to not have the machine completely trouncing the human. It's less scary and keeps people engaged further into the future.

Also seems in-line with the way Demis was "rooting" for the human this time – they already won so now they focus on PR.

>Is adding a permanent 1-hour offset to all of our clocks really a more sensible solution than convincing employers to shift their schedules one hour earlier?

I think you're analyzing it from the perspective of mathematical logic. In an isolated perspective, one employer (instead of all employers), can arbitrarily change the working time as 7am-4pm instead of 8am-5pm because it's mathematically equivalent to the +1 hour DST.

But society wants to coordinate on a bigger scale than that one employer you were able to convince. (Children's school hours, restaurants, tv schedules, customers calling help desks, etc). Also, the math viewpoint ignores the fact that there are long standing cultural anchors tied to specific times such as 9am-5pm[1].

The bottom line is that it's easier to address the coordination problem by hacking the time via permanent DST rather than adjusting everyone's familiarity around nominal times. Changing out the nominal times displayed in glass windows doesn't look easier than implementing DST. Even changing nominal times in the digital realm is a hassle: think of all the recurring meetings in MS Outlook, Google Calendar, iPhones reminders, etc that say 10am-11am. Millions of people would have to change those times to say 9am-10am. Again, leaving those nominal times the same and fixing it more "globally" via DST seems a lot simpler.

I don't like the language of "below is what our lawyers require we tell you". The lawyers didn't decide that the offer is contingent on a background check, or that the employment is at will. You decided that, the government insisted that you communicated it to your prospective employee, and the lawyers informed you of that requirement. Maybe it's splitting hairs, but it would leave a better taste in my mouth if the company is took responsibility for those decisions.

Other than that, the letter is great and shows a wonderful commitment to transparency.
