There is a lot scope for mimicking a human player in terms of how long it takes to react and how the APM is actually used. I think the more effort they put into the AI restrictions, the more interesting AI you will end up with.

Having an AI that wins because it is faster isn't very interesting.
For people who voted out? Because it puts downward pressure on wages. As the head of the in campaign pointed out in a rare moment of lucidity:

Not really, tens of millions would line up for it; it'd be vastly better than surgery and plenty of pills can kill people now but we deal with that just fine and death is much scarier than sterilization. What you're doing there... it's called fear mongering. If you're really scared of something like that, you probably have some issues you need to resolve because that's a silly thing to be afraid of.
> There were twelve of us in the group and every single one rated the Silver Oak dead last, and the Barefoot either first or second.

I've always been of the opinion that Barefoot punches above its price, so to speak.
It's just a term. Don't worry about it.
It's not accurate enough to do either :)

At least, you'd notice the issues.

Note that no cnc of this style will really ever produce raised panel kitchen cabinets.

Slab ones or fake raised panels out of MDF you could probably do, but gravity is on the wrong axis here, so i wouldn't expect great results for the latter.

You can't make real dovetail drawers without vertical holding, but you can make fake ones that look about right.

But there, they require something about 7-10x more accurate than this thing.

So the true answer is "really far".

Also note that cabinets are mostly plywood and not solid wood (because solid wood is not really stable enough), so you also need edge banding

I won't go into the finishing aspect.

Just to give you some idea of speed as well, most cabinet shops making cabinet parts do a sheet of parts in 5-10 minutes at 1200-1600ipm

This thing would take ~20-30x as long, minimum, to do the same sheet, at 48ipm, even if it was accurate to do so.

It's a minimum because you don't have the acceleration numbers here. The 1200-1600ipm ones are very fast accelerating machines so the average ipm is quite high.

No idea on the maslow (and i expect the "real world precision" goes down as the acceleration speed goes up. Even with a closed loop, it doesn't save you, because then it has settling time, etc)

For each party, what specific crime? Did Jackie ever file a police report?

There is still a pending civil lawsuit from the fraternity. That one will probably settle soon now that this one has been resolved.
I've tried Elementary a couple of times for dev and it isn't suited for that at all. I understand they've been getting a spike in traffic since the new macbook pro release, but I don't see how that would be a great choice for developers, cause most of the similarities with macOS will stop with the design.

As much as I wanted to enjoy the distro since its DE looks more well-thought than other DE's around, you're going to get more problems than if you simply switch to Ubuntu with outdated packages, poor documentation to solve problems and it's easy to realize it's not made for devs.

I would say Ubuntu or Fedora are better distros for developers to switch from macOS if they don't want to spend a long time setting things up, or maybe even Arch Linux if they are experienced with Linux. After a while, I couldn't even recommend Elementary for friends since I knew the amount of problems that would come with it.
Lob (YC S13) Is Hiring Senior Software Engineers
Few reasons. One is a positive history/experience with them. The Whirlpool made (most common machines on the market) top loading machines were rock solid for 30 plus years. People would often have them for 20-30 years. (and still have them, keep them maintained)

Another reason is they do a better job of washing clothes as they use more water. This is important for people that have kids, do cloth diapers, or are actually washing dirty/muddy clothes. They also don't have mold issues because of rubber gaskets and have been historically cheaper to maintain and repair.

The new top loaders, specifically Whirlpool made vertical modular washers are complete garbage. They break within 2-3 years of buying new. Whirlpool stopped making the direct drive top loading washers that everyone loved about 3 years ago. Now you can only buy them used, and I would highly recommend doing so if you need a good washer.

Front loading machines do spin the clothes a bit dryer, which saves on dry time, unless you hang dry, then it really doesn't make much difference. But they cost over twice as much and are about double the price when it comes to repairs. Hope that helps!

Here's a post I wrote up on the subject.

Bought a house built in 1995 with a designated dryer closet (only place with hookups) front loaders are about 4" deeper on average than a top loader and modern top loaders barely fit as is.

I addressed this in my post.

> Semi-isolated from Earth, it would be at least partially protected from many of these threats.

It introduces a significant time and space gap, a firewall between Part of human civilization and the rest of it. It's not a guaranteed solution, but I think it could give us a much better chance. I'll counter your line of challeng - how do you know for certain it won't help mitigate any of these risks?

You also seem not to have noticed my argument concerning introducing a source of variegation into our civilization that might help us cope with some of these threats better.
Agree this post was a little longer than what I usually write, obviously I was't going to achieve a comprehensive overview but I wanted to touch on as many of key points as I could without going overboard. I tried to make up for length by incorporating some humorous elements in the second half and limiting math equations to the minimum necessary for elementary concepts. It reads better if you use the soundtrack :)

The detailed challenges of extending coherence time are mostly hidden to those whose primarily research tools are search engines and textbooks such as myself. This is the realm of proprietary tech, all I can do is speculate based on the credibility of those making large investments in the space that those in the know see potential.

USDCHF Builds Up on Downside Pressure
You seem to be somewhat confused. Bostrom is a philosopher, not a scientist.
Honestly.. what a toxic comment.

I asked my doctor if there's _anything_ I shouldn't do and he said 'No'. He told me an anecdote about a patient of his that HAD a bit of pain after flying for most of a day directly after the procedure (being cramped being probably a reason for that), but he explicitly said that there is no reason to hold back. "Be reasonable, be sensible".

But I honestly don't even know what drove you to comment here. I never said 'Ride a bike on the next day' nor am I a doctor or even TRIED to give out medical advice. Instead I explicitly called out (and tried to dispell) the 'OMG it is so painful' FUD.

Your comment is a) irrelevant (I don't give medical advice) and b) assuming things that are completely unrooted in reality and wrong.
This. I shared this link above, but I wrote a post on it. It's really sad what's happened to the appliance industry. http://recraigslist.com/2015/10/they-used-to-last-50-years/

Looks to me like Apple is thinking long term and is willing to tolerate short term criticism over it's decision to remove ports. They've set their future on wireless and USB type C. Apple is the one company that's willing to sacrifice now in order to gain in the future. The port decision aren't being done in a vacuum. They have a reason. And give their size, they have the muscle to lead all the industry to what they think is the future.

I don't know their endgame but given the fact that more and more work is being done in the cloud. Macs will start looking more like Chromebooks as time passes. Ports are less and less important once you have all your data in the cloud and can access it at will.

What else can you expect from a company who's idol famously said, "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish?" They are certainly looking foolish now but their hunger is leading them to future profit and a long life. I wouldn't bet against them.
Beyond feelings about the verdict itself, it is interesting that a single lapse in journalistic integrity has the potential to put a major news organization like Rolling Stone out of business. There are massive incentives to publish sensational articles, but as this case and the Gawker case have shown, there are also massive incentives to not publish specific details. The BuzzFeed model (which is perhaps shared by social media at large) is to simply provide a platform, and let other people stir the pot. I hope that doesn't become the only way to circulate ideas.
Your post reminded me of the Fresh Air interview with Sebastian Junger a while back [1]. I've not read the book yet, but it's on my list.

Design legend Milton Glaser: “Design has nothing to do with art”
While not a full time dev, I would always classify Elementary as an OSX "experience" rather than a work platform.

It's elegant, it works, it has almost nothing you do not directly need, and honestly even compared to Ubuntu it's user friendly.

If you don't use many apps on OSX beyond the basic / apple ones (excluding video/media editing) you'll likely never feel the difference since even the UI is rather similar.

Can you point to any evidence that people enjoy being down voted without an explanation? Clearly the fact that there has to be two entries in a fairly short comment guidelines points to the reality that many people have expressed that they do not like being down voted without any explanation.

And since it is such a frequent occurrence, would that not point to the fact that people do enjoy talking about being down voted?
Obviously it works great, and the next logical step is voice control /s
Pass codes aren't perfectly secure either. Someone can see you type it in, or infer it from finger smudges. If your criterion for accepting a technology is perfection in all circumstances you're not going to find many technologies that satisfy it.
Just this week somebody told me about how a competing accelerator made them accept or turn down their offer before doing their YC interview. Ugh.

Touch buttons = circuit board. Horrible idea. What could go wrong so close to excessive heat? Ovens used to last decades, and they still last longer than most other appliances, but now it's the circuit board in the control panel that goes out the most.
Oh, very nice! I hadn't heard that AWS had a program. I've used Github's education pack, once as an educator to get a free org with 20 private accounts, and once where I asked students to signup. The former situation was too cumbersome (I had to create a repo for each student, and students constantly confused their own personal account with their org account), and in the latter, only a few students out of 20 got approved by the time the course ended -- I think someone told me the process was backlogged.

I'm willing just to expense things on my account for the sake of simplicity but will see if AWS has a more streamlined process for class/per-student approval. Thanks!
I'm a Caucasian male, too, and I've never experienced anything I'd call "discrimination". Even now when I live in a place where whites are in the minority (Hawaii, ~27%).

I'm curious what kinds of experiences you are referring to.
And that a single set of earphones would work with both, especially since apple's so heavily into selling you music.
See, I would agree with you, and I definitely agree with their decision on the new MBP to put four Thunderbolt 3, but I don't understand why they didn't use a USB-C connector on the iPhone 7, which just came out.

They removed the headphone jack and called it "courage", but real courage would've been to switch to USB-C. That is the future of connectors, and if you believe in it, why wouldn't you preach it across all your devices.
I'd argue that the race to the bottom which has happened in the mobile app marketplace has caused many people like myself to lose faith entirely. I've been conditioned to treat mobile developers with the same distain and mistrust that I reserve for lawyers, politicians, and used car salesmen. My default assumption is that they are a shyster trying to trick me into being a product of their clandestine marketing analytics business.

It really sucks for the honest developers, but as a result, I'm more comfortable using my browser to interact with dynamic content (like HN, Reddit, etc) while reserving local app installs to an extremely limited set of functions which need to operate on my local data where having both contact and networking permissions are a huge red flag.

This is all due to the interface though. Mozilla is a much more neutral party then Google. I'd rather untrusted third parties negotiate with Mozilla's API than Google's. What I'd like even more is good native software which treats users with dignity and respect, but those are few and far between on Android.

It's not often that Apple admits defeat like this. It's a good move, IMO. And an easy business decision. Cut the very high profit margins on all these dongles, and remain relevant.
Do you keep a blog? This was a great short read.
This is a relatively new problem, finding "happiness". It only becomes a problem after basic needs are met, food, roof over your head, steady income, low debt, healthy. People in the past had very little time to prioritize "happiness" against basic survival. Just to have the problem to begin with is a blessing in disguise, you're not struggling. I see it as a hierarchy of needs, similar to Maslow's.

I keep seeing Google Chrome Helper over and over and over in these screenshots. And sure, none of them are the biggest single memory user, but...

In my experience, quitting Chrome lowers the memory usage of kernel_task dramatically, so that Chrome is taking up even more memory that you'd think adding up all of the many Chrome-related processes.

I fully believe the OP, simply because they're not running Chrome. And I fully believe each of the posters above me, too, and I'm pretty sure they're all running Chrome.

I guess I'm suggesting that the difference is Chrome.
Can I ask (given the summary / roadmap at the end and your blog post about GCE's pricing): Are you moving to Google Cloud? If not, why not?

For what it's worth, I agree with you that a lot of the value of Container Engine comes from having a team ensure the bits all work together. That should be (one of) the positives of any managed service, but I think the Container Engine team has done a particularly good job in a fast moving and often bumpy space.

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud ;).
Ask HN: Casual hacking in bay area?
I just arrived in the bay area as a postdoc (not CS) at Stanford. In spare time I enjoy dabbling with web apps and random side projects.

Where can I go to meet others and have company while hacking? Could be very casual like sitting in a cafe hacking for a while, or more organized like a user group meeting with talks. Are there any meetup lists/groups?
But science is about creating and using tests for those assumptions. That's the part of the process that makes it science, as against philosophy.
Reading the original text can be challenging, by I really enjoyed Magnificent Principia by Colin Pask. Basically it's a guided tour of what could be argued is the most important scientific text of all time.

I really enjoy books like that, and like Charles Petzold's Annotated Turing. Any other recommendations in that style would be much appreciated.
I answered the sibling: I explicitly asked the doctor about restrictions and was - again, explicitly - told there are none, as long as I feel okay and am reasonable.
Running a marathon or karate competitions are probably out. I rode my bike with a dad with his daughter - we drove about 20km total, relaxed, with a nice spot to buy food and a beer. It wasn't "sport", it was "getting outside".

Honestly though? I totally didn't plan for that. I planned the trip, planned the operation. The operation's date was changed by my doctor, I didn't cancel the trip and just .. went along, because I felt fine.

Again: My doctor didn't list any limitations, even when I explicitly asked about it. But I certainly don't claim that people should jump on a saddle as soon as they've left the room. I merely pointed out what I happened to do on the next day to mock the 'the pain is unbearable' FUD.

Feel free to rest for a week. As far as I'm concerned and as far as I'm aware after talking to people that decided to take this step: There's no need to. There's no pain. A feeling ob numbness maybe (think strained ankle, but a week later) and obviously you have cuts that you don't want to strain.

But I had a lot of accidents with a razor or a kitchen knife (mind you, we're talking "face" and "fingers" now, right?) that were far worse than the vasectomy.
That example is about conveying the information verbally to another human, so syllables is interesting, not characters. "h h h h h h h h h h" is 10 syllables, "10 tosses, all heads" is 4 (and could be compressed further to "10 heads").
I believe the same thing could be said about Go :)
Can a simulation of a complete Starcraft game be done quickly and assuming it can't doesn't that present problems to training an AI? For example, I'm guessing complete games of Go are order of magnitudes faster to simulate which makes it more practical to do things like getting AlphaGo to play against itself to train.

Just on the surface, these sorts of games are notoriously difficult to balance properly. Someone discovers a strategy that tips the balance, and units/abilities/whatever have to get nerfed. The odds that there's a stable balance at a level of play not actively tested (e.g., infinite APM) are extremely low.

One example is a sibling post's video of 100 zerglings against 20 siege tanks. For humans, the zerglings are capable of destroying only a handful of tanks before being killed of. For an AI with infinite APM, they can move all but an individual targeted zergling out of the way of the tank's splash damage. This allows them to take out all of the siege tanks with only moderate losses. Many such matchups will be tossed on their heads, and it's likely that one of them is totally game-breaking.
