It doesn't, but there is a connection: for people who have a predisposition, alcohol is risky in that it can trigger a depressive episode. Typically one of the first things a psychiatrist or therapist will tell you to do in such a situation is to stop drinking. The GP's experience (that alcohol helps their depression) is not typical, but everyone is different.

> I suspect most people's education is complete by the time their parents die.

I guess it depends on how you define or implement inheritance tax. If you can afford your kids your entire capital while you are alive, the inheritance tax will only affect the unprepared. In argentina there is a sizable estate tax , so people transfer all their deeds to their children in their 60's. Of course such implementation would not render the kids unable to live without wages.

> Because I can assure you that once dead, you will maintain no further interest in your assets. While alive, I suspect you will.

I dont see how this follows what I said. I said that if the goal is to maximize the amount of labor in the system (adding inheritance tax so children of welathy people also have to work) then we could just ban wealthyness altogether and truly maximize the amount of people that work. by making it a necessity. I dont know what interest in assets means in this context.

> They were teaching it in highschool economics when I was a kid.

I dont know what model they taught you, but if spending by itself were the undisputable best use of capital, then we should collectively just ban savings from ever existing and reap the rewards.

Being a CS academic myself I fully agree with what you just said.

That said, the decision that they should the top three conferences (as opposed to the top 2, top 5, etc) in each area is a subjective one, and has the potential to significantly change the results.
Two points:

Blender is not a renderer, it's a modelling and animation program with a built-in renderer, Cycles. But it can connect to other renderers, too.

Cycles is not that old. It replaced Blender's prior renderer just a few years ago.
The issue is that anti-2nd Amendment folks always want to simply ban guns period, as if that will make the problem go away, hence they use the term "guns kill people". They literally fear the gun itself, not the person holding the gun, and that's a serious problem. The people who say "the White House" in your example indeed don't blame the building for what goes on inside, however the people who chant "guns kill people" invariably believe that the gun itself is to blame, rather than the person behind it. It's irrational and nonsensical, but go into any debate about gun issues and you'll see it all day long.

I recall recently seeing a video (by a progressive minded producer) who laid out several "mean" looking guns (black synthetic stock, picatinny rail, etc) that were actually low power, single shot or limited capacity target guns (one was a BB gun), next to old-fashioned looking but semi-automatic and high powered rifles much more capable of harming large groups of people. Invariably the gun hating types picked out the less harmful weapons as "scary" and said they shouldn't be produced, while they were not nearly as frightened of the wooden stock weapons designed to shoot up to thirty rounds in as many seconds before reloading.
It's ironic that in a world that teaches and believes in relativism and no objective knowledge, truth, and morality people are all of a sudden worried about objective truth.

I had a chance to talk to Danny about two years ago in Berkeley. I had randomly run into him at an event a friend hosted. We chatted briefly and I asked him one question: "Your research deconstructed the way I think, both instinctually and logically, leaving me with very little basis to make judgements. How would you propose we make decisions."

He responded after sighing a bit empathetically, "I'm not sure, but I think you should just constantly ask your friends and keep talking with people about your decisions."

I thought this was a great bit of wisdom that I keep at heart. I've noticed that people who isolate their decision making, esp in critical scenarios, more often than not make bad choices. He highlighted that diversity of friends, constant networked thinking, and the humility to take feedback are the real keys to overcoming the pitfalls his work highlights. He didn't say you had to take their feedback exactly, or always change your mind -- just keep talking about it though.

I heard Viswanathan Anand on TV a long time ago (when he had just become world champion), he claimed getting physically fitter had a definite impact on his game. Maybe that implicitly means there is physical fitness is a factor, hence women are disadvantaged?

(I'm just trying to reason against you, I don't think the fitness Anand was talking about requires crossing the boundary where being male is an advantage.)

No, then they just call it "social". Which is my point: the differences between the social media platforms, HN included, are relatively small. The commonalities are vast. People are people.
>Distribution [of child porn] is a victimless crime that everyone stands up against due to copyright propaganda .

That's foolish reasoning. The distribution network is what incentives the creation of child porn. People are making it and putting it up on the net so it can be distributed. Child porn is a multi billion dollar a year business. Also feeding into pedophilic fantasies, which is what child porn does, will further act as an incentive for the creation of child porn.
I remember an AI professor I had once asked the class to define "the number 3".

The answer he chose, which stuck with me (if I recall the nuance correctly), is that the number three is: The set of all things in the universe of which there three, three is that which they have in common.

Where it became interesting for me is observing our children growing up, especially learning colours and shapes. They exhibited a pattern of learning based upon observations of common patterns in communication by vocalization.

For example, children decided things were "red" based upon that trait being in-common with other things we called red. Circles based upon other things we call circles.

It's really quite a fascinating phenomenon to observe in children, and I expect there is a key atomicity of association from which more complex patterns - up to consciousness - can be created. Too fine grained and the patterns will be noise; too large and certain higher order structures will never form - a "Goldilocks" zone for the complex system of interpreting reality by observational exposure and initially arbitrary relation.
Not sure about this blanket statement, with Palantir being a shining example of why it's likely overtly wrong (DoD is most likely their largest source of revenue).
Cure for Uncertain Times: Build a Badass Bug Out Bag
I went through my education in the UK starting at the age of five in 1960 and I think it is important to remember that education then varied dramatically from place to place.

When I describe the schools that I attended many of my acquaintances from other parts of the country react with surprise that my schools were all comprehensives yet had strict discipline (though not obsessed with uniform minutiae as many seem to be now), a strong work ethic, a lot of after school activities, etc., and they encouraged us to be ambitious and creative. Many of my acquaintances in contrast describe schools of the time that were just as bad as any horror story you see in the Daily Mail today.

My only knowledge of UK schools now is from the UK online press and if I didn't constantly remind myself that schools are not all the same I might easily believe their sweeping generalisations. Edit: lived in Norway for the last thirty years and all my children went to Norwegian schools.

I am from Canada and I am more scared by guns than by terrorism even given that just several days ago, we had one such attack on our soil.

A terrorist attack for me is like a lightning strike. Seems to be deadly but not very probable.

Meanwhile, living among people who casually own guns (like in US) is like living in a place where everybody has untamed wild tigers and bears at home. Unpredictable, dangerous, not very smart. It's a real day-to-day threat to our lives.

Pale Moon supports XUL now and into the future even when Firefox support stops.

How I kept my side project going for 4 years
A single building wouldn't impact tens of thousands before discovering the attack. Even attacking a single large building is a complex task, unlikely to succeed.

Large networks are easier to detect via our mass surveillance technologies. That's why most of the attacks we see these days are from small groups acting quickly.

My point was your scale was way off about what's realistic to be afraid of. It's easily 100 times as likely a large corporation will kill tens of thousands than that a terrorist group will.

Now, there probably are terrorist attacks that could harm tens of thousands (and no, I won't list what I think they are here), but none of those suggested here are them, they'd likely be coordinated by a state actor (and so questionable if we want to count it as just crazy people), etc.

I'm pretty sure they set up female tournaments in order to encourage women to develop interest and skill in the game. But, no good deed unpunished.

Good thing it does not justify banning Tor:

Happy to see this sentiment echoed in places with influence. Nancy Pelosi gave a surprisingly similar answer (quoting the same Adam Smith reference material!) in her town hall.[0] The gap between rich and poor is widening massively, the middle is dissolving and they're (finally) acknowledging that such a process inevitably leads to the destabilization of the entire system.

Whether it's too little, too late remains to be seen.

Bash is portable across other OSes... They could work on a good port. Or, remove some bash-isms from the code so it would work in another shell if that was an issue.

Efficiency Comparison of Document Preparation Systems Used in Academic Research
You can only optimize an algorithm in so many dimensions. Without making this a debate about affirmative action, I'd like to point out that if you're designing an algorithm to optimize for raw skill comparison in tournament match-ups, optimizing it to rebalance match-up results to be more mixed essentially voids that first optimization. In the aggregate, you're producing very different results by doing that. To put it simply, would you rather have skill-based fairness in a tournament or gender-based fairness?

You can design the algorithm in such a way that your priors are mistaken, or bias creeps in (though theoretically that can be self-corrected). But assuming that's not the case, and the algorithm correctly matches up mostly women v. women and men v. men in a skill parity optimization, you have a fair result for the purpose of a tournemant; i.e. skill-based match-ups.

If at that point you have an issue with the match ups for reasons of gender or ethnic parity, I would argue that you should seek to correct the upstream issues, not the algorithm. In other words, try to get more women playing chess - make the sport appeal to them more, make it more inclusive, etc. Rebalancing an algorithm is, in my view, a handicap, whether it's applied to gender disparity or any other disparity. I feel it does a disservice to both parties and doesn't really solve the root issue.

It could be interesting to check against a set of random seeds or random player lists. It's not entirely implausible that the algorithm is "correct," but that implementation details not covered by the spec mean that, e.g., gender imbalances in pairings occur. It might, for example, generate the pairings starting from a sorted list of players where an element of the sort key is gender.
I am really disappointed with HN that you are being downvoted. I read the article and came away with the same impressions -- that the use of the word 'girls' and the 'I think she let herself down' comes off as exceedingly patronizing.

You have made a clear argument with your comment and others have downvoted you because they disagree with you, which is not what the downvote button is for.
> RPSAI competitions tend to have 100% random players perform quite poorly

Not as much "quite poorly" but more specifically, they will provably land at exactly the median position in the ranking (let's assume there's only one pure random bot in the tournament, no reason to have more than one, but the argument also works with multiple).

While it's impossible to win more than 50% of the time from a pure random RPS bot, it's also impossible to lose more than 50% of the time.

So all the other AIs will on average score exactly 50% against the random RPS bot. Whether they end up in the final ranking above or below this median line depends on how well they do against each other.
Did you see the article someone in this thread linked (cached)? It quotes YouTube's emails verbatim.

I don't really have anything to be outraged about because we don't now why they did it. Certainly one thinks of Trump's positions but this would not extent to YouTube's actions.
This is the same reason virtually all gendered rankings exist, e.g. for swimming.
> I work hard to help my kids.

And this is the problem for Marxists. Engels wrote a whole book[1] on how the family destroyed the ideal prehistoric communism[2] by accumulating property to pass to the next generations. This created classes and the state.

Originally this was just a trivia and the principal tool of reaching communism has been the revolutionary overthrowing of the bourgeois state. But in late 20th century, after many of these revolutions failing to spread worldwide, they naturally want to explore other ways to achieve communism, including targeting the root cause of the state.

What additional value does the ranked pool bring compared to random pool for pairing.

Game pairing in Go for example is usually a random pool (bingo; pick your number from a bowl), after that it is straightforward knockout.

i'm not ready to jump to conclusions that this is government-related as implied in the article. i'd like to know more, but youtube's takedown policy is not a court of law and no rulings are ever published.
Everything at Google is automated. It's just that to get a response from an actual person when you appeal a decision, you usually need to have a blog post that reaches the front page of HN, and a couple of known friends inside Google. Sometimes even that is not enough.

Google's support has become a meme at this point, on par with Valve's support.
That's only believed so far as to water-down and weaken traditional belief and moral systems. Same as 'freedom of speech'
One person is speaking to the press about a protest to the event he organized; another person is commenting on the tone-deafness of the comment. Holding the latter to the scrutiny of the former and claiming that the latter is 'not allowed to say' what he said is an exceptionally absurd -- and frankly stupid -- argument.
As the article states, the top 100 chess players in the world are male. The field is incredibly male-dominated and even though women and men should be equal, the reasoning between splitting it tournaments by gender is that women would otherwise get discouraged.
