Assuming 2000 calories/day, a human averages 97 Watts/hour.

Ke Jie is currently 19, so he has used an estimate of 670kWH for both his training set and playing his games.

Getting a machine to win that consumes less than 97W/H would be hard.

Taking a new machine and loading training data on it and having it win would be far less than 670kWH

It is not. They do wire money back into your account. In fact, if you're a US person, then you are covered by FDIC rules. During the hack, Bitfinex didn't touch money that was in USD; for the rest there was a haircut.

My gut feeling is that Go is a technique if you put it in the perspective of winner/looser. If you put in it in the perspective of cultural legacy, apprenticeship, etc. then it's more of an art. The technique can be beaten by computers, but the art is what humans do of go, so it can't be beaten.

Moreover, as OP says, there are subjects where machine are absolutely nowhere and those subjects already do matter : world peace, ethics, etc. These are so human... Even if you had a world of machines (à la matrix), these questions would be of the utmost importance to us humans because that's an emanation of what we are.
That's a sad thing about sony products. I know they can justify the prices due to high R&D costs but it makes it difficult for the average consumer to purchase their products (I'm fairly sure I'm not their target). For example, I went to the Sony showroom in Japan in 2006/7(?) and they had a cool bluetooth speaker that rolled around based on the music it was playing. The problem is it was ~$350.
How to create a culture of innovation at work
Eventually, we might not be the best at that either. Imagine AI companions that can not only perfectly emulate human behaviour, but can produce simulations of empathy, compassion, humour, etc. perfectly tailored to an individual's psyche.

When we imagine intelligent AIs keeping humans as pets, we tend to do so in analogous terms to how we treat animals: E.g. in sparse, constrained environments, like cages and zoos. But those environments are designed with animal level intelligence and instincts in mind. AIs will probably design habitats intended to placate human instincts. And a big part of that will be keeping us psychologically happy, which will involve providing simulated companionship.
I have to think they've discussed that internally, and they probably just want to make sure alphago can win consistently, period, before they start playing around with allowing slightly riskier moves as long as the win probability stays sufficiently above 50%. (But how much more? You can't know ahead of time how much stronger you are than the other player that day, or you wouldn't be playing, at least not for money.)

It's just like adjusting komi to give the human an advantage, right?

I've got a set of ATH-ANC9s and as a programmer I work in an extremely noisy environment (next to the phones); by themselves they do little to drop the noise, but add some music and magic happens.

EDIT: I experimented with the (almost universally approved of) ATH-M50Xs but found I had to use a much louder volume to cancel out the noise, which causing ringing, so using NC is pretty much saving my hearing. Not sure how I could work here without them.
I think he's amortizing the cost to zero for the AI because the marginal cost per additional AI is much lower than the cost to sustain a civilization to churn out and bin human go players.
For how long is publicly available, encrypted data going to resist bruteforce decryption? 30 years perhaps? Usually the "millions of years" estimate ignores the Moore's law.

Proper well-designed IQ tests have nothing to do with language; they are purely visual pattern recognition challenges. These tests are highly culture-independent and correlate highly with practically any other reasonable measure of intelligence.

Being able to tell where the game is situated is not intelligence. It's a domain-specific skill. Intelligence is a general ability that makes one better at learning any domain-specific skill that utilizes cognitive capabilities.
We use touch enabled projectors in schools all the time. That technology is way over five years old. I can't remember the last time I saw a classroom without it.

The first thing my 5 year old son does when he gets to school is to drag is name into the school dinner part of the board -- registration and meal choice all in one.

I wonder if they make a clean room version of this? Would be neat to have in hospitals and theatres (for surgery) and in the hospital clean rooms (labs etc)
Coq is not Turing complete but has support for coinductive data types (= infinite streams) and (co-)recursion over them.

Simplifying a lot, it has a syntactic "guard condition" that says that you must produce some result before you're allowed to make a recursive call. For example, you can map over an infinite stream because a map produces a result for each element of the input stream. Unlike Haskell, you cannot write a fold over an infinite stream because you would need to look at all elements before producing a result.

So if you can structure your system as a transformation from an infinite stream of requests to an infinite stream of responses, you're fine in Coq even though it is not Turing complete.

The intuition is that, just like in Haskell, you don't actually end up doing an infinite computation if only a finite part of the final result is ever requested.
The literalness of "cold hard cash" is going to be very important here.

Into a digital account somewhere as USD? Fairly easy. As a million bucks in literal physical cash? something tells me that would be an absolute shitshow, since 10k cash withdrawl is enough to trigger special processes at most institutions.
"Developing countries" is a much better term. "Third world" is vague, outdated, and means something completely different.

Not that the US is a developing country; it was developed, and is currently degenerating. It's still very rich, though. So instead of trying to catch this in a single ill-fitting word, perhaps it would be better to simply discuss the actual issues: the rise of poverty, lack of social mobility, crumbling infrastructure, etc.
Industrial consumers in Germany pay nowhere near 30c/kwh, more like 10-15c. (depending on size and exemptions)
Indeed, it is amazing how many 'soft' things surrounding the software can be improved without requiring to 'get into the zone' as a developer. Of course, you also need to do the actual work and not get bogged down in these peripheral tasks.

AI in 5 years: One CTO's take
Ask HN: Is there any VCS/platform for hardware and software development?
There are many types of fundamental VCS tools for software development. Those have become keystone in the history of open source software, large-scale projects (Linux...).

But what if we consider hardware development? It seems hard to document all materials and machine setting (other than circuit scheme) into data. Although wiki-like platform helped several large projects, such as RepRap, we still have no suitable tools for building process.

Is that a problem for most makers?

Depends on what is expected of you, as well as your margin for manoeuvre. Some seniors are supposed to do one feature and then guide the juniors to replicate that feature, others will have more responsibility, etc.

If you are the bridge between business and dev, you have to manage business expectations and point what needs to be changed. If you are the technical guidance of the team you have to be on top of code quality and architecture.

In the end, the role name doesn't really mean a thing, it's what is expected of you and your legroom that matters. Both are dynamic. In fact, every team member is free to suggest improvements, how fast they are implemented just depends on who approves them. Senior normally just means you don't need alot of supervision.
Yes I think it is much cooler than VR. This would be used every day. No one is going to use it on a table to to play the 2 half decent games it can do /snark. But in the kitchen in the wall mode, with some good Google Assistant integration. Vs VR? No one uses VR everyday. However the cynic in me guffaws at the VR price level. Jesus Christ. Way to much. At least with an ok VR rig I have a general purpose computer to use or put to work. Maybe I'm wrong but I can see this being used everyday in the morning and evening. It would become a fixture. VR only exists for gaming. No one is going to put VR goggles on every day to watch the news or check the time.

97W, not 97W/h.
> that's not even close to true. on the most basic level, you agree that certain traits are heritable in totally predictable ways, yes? eye color is an example of this.

Eye color inheritance isn't "totally predictable"; this is so obviously wrong to anyone who's ever met more than a couple humans that perhaps I'm misunderstanding the assertion you're making here.

Come to think of it, I think you might be saying that _conditioned on the alleles you receive_, there are traits that are fully predictable. In that case, I think you're just misunderstanding the comment you're responding to, since conditioning on the alleles received is begging the question.

Alternatively, you may not know what a random variable is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_variable. It doesn't mean that the trait is "random" in the colloquial sense of uniform distribution across all possible values.
While I do agree that the case highlighted shows a rather uncharitable reaction to said personal anecdote, I suspect your advice could be turned around itself in a number of circumstances. Live and let live. Somebody tells a personal story with a somewhat-incomplete perspective? Live and let live. Some stranger on the internet paints the sky as falling because of said anecdote being shared? Live and let live. Both acts remind me of the old 'someone's wrong on the internet' XKCD comic.

The ticket machines of Deutsche Bahn (the German national railway) solve this rather nicely. The dialog is separated into about 10 pages, but the pages are laid out as tabs at the screen's top edge. So that gives you a sense of progression, and an easy way to jump back to any earlier page to change the selection. The rest of the selections are retained properly as far as I recall. Furthermore, every page is populated with sensible defaults, so if you're a single adult who wants a single ticket for today, you can enter your destination and then jump straight to checkout.
It would really be interesting to know if there was a correlation between genes and ethics.
Is it even possible to create a faster data structure server?

It's probably not reasonably possible to make a faster general solution, but you could implement something that maps your specific needs to memory in a faster way, essentially removing the cases that Redis needs to handle that don't apply to your data.
The DAO contract was not invalidated. It is still there, on the blocks where it was deployed.

The fact that the people running the nodes stopped seeing that fork of the chain as the interesting one is distributed consensus at work. Anyone that wants to keep observing that original fork can do so, that fork is actually alive in the form of Ethereum Classic.

Ethereum was forked after the DAO fail because people saw more value in a forked chain with new rules. Speaking about contract reversals or invalidations is misleading. That is simply not possible, because Blockchain. And while anyone can decide to fork a blockchain, building consensus around the fork is what gives it its value.

The DAO was a marketing horror because it promised a world ruled by code, built on top of blockchain tech. Blockchains, though, don't run on code but on consensus.

Exactly. Families share more than genetics.

The fallacy is in equating criminal activity with stupidity. This fallacy might stem from assuming that the risk was immeasurable and the profit therefore potentially negligible (bayesian inference).

Arithmetically inclined individuals being advantaged as sellers leads to survivorship bias. It's not actually surprising that a salesman can do that. It's surprising that drug sales can score huge gains and that some people see hardly any alternative to make a living even if small time dealers hardly make a profit because of oversupply in competition, much less if they are addicted.
These tests are highly culture-independent

While that is certainly the goal and ambition of the people creating the tests, there still seems to be much debate as to what extent they are succeeding.

What I do find puzzling is why people seem so emotionally attached to the idea of general intelligence measured as a single number. Is there some political/educational aspect that I'm missing out on - I'm from the UK where IQ tests seem to be generally regarded with a high degree of healthy scepticism.
You summed it up perfectly - it's an experiment based on my own curiosity into whether a niche noise-free discussion focused social network would be something people would pay for.

I'd been saying for a few years that if something like it existed, I'd pay for it and use it. I got various responses to this ranging all the way from agreement to mocking :-) so I built it to actually test it in the wild.
I'm honestly a bit disappointed by the current state of static site generators.

They all seem to require all files be re-generated for every build, and none seem to offer "smart" solutions to this, like the option to use ESI, SSI, etc.

Things like language support seem to be implemented with absolutely zero concept of content negotiation.

Do people find these issues? If so what do you do? Ignore, work around it, or find something else (if so, what?)

There are roughly about 200 Neanderthal/Denisovan/older skeletons (whole or partially) found. Or, according to 'A short history of nearly everything', the amount of bones of our ancient ancestors fit in the back of a small pickup truck.

Let that sink in: over 4 million years of human history, and all remains we have found fit in the back of a pickup truck.

Scientists draw conclusions based on evidence found, but truth is, we really don't know that much about our ancestors. The vast majority of bones don't fossilize and just decay. You can excavate all you want, but it takes very specific circumstances for organic material to be preserved over a course of hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. Most of it is just gone.

World computer is a fairly dumbed down way to describe it.

Accurate descriptions need more jargon: for example, you could call it a peer-to-peer settlement network with autonomous business logic, or something like that.

Here's what I wrote on a reddit thread to pitch Ethereum in a simple way:

> If you want to operate some mechanism that involves binding agreements and reliable bookkeeping -- like a crowdfunding campaign, a remote employment contract, or even a digital currency system -- then you currently need to set up a highly secure central server, and every participant needs to trust you with the admin password.

> With Ethereum, you can upload the exact rules of your "game" to an enormous peer-to-peer network where each and every node verifies the integrity of every action, where forgery is made so difficult that even a well-funded state actor probably can't do it, and where all history is backed up across the internet.

I think it could be reasonable to have system where the House represents the people (making proportional representation necessary) while the Senate represents the states. As long as the role of the Senate is sufficiently limited and not the core of the legislative process, that could be very reasonable. But it's vital that the people are more important than the states.

For example, the House could decide on the laws, with the Senate only deciding whether this is an issue that belongs on the federal level at all. And maybe double checking whether the law is constitutional and in line with existing treaties.

If they do the same thing, it makes no sense to have them both.

I'd be interested in reading a source to this claim because I did quite a bit of research on memcached vs redis a couple of years ago and the conclusion I came to was that redis's performance was at least comparable to memcached, but potentially even faster in the (then new) latest engine.

I've also found redis to be easier to manage than memcached and easier to scale too - which was one of the clinching points that sold that K/V DB to us.

Pragmatically, the performance of redis vs memcached is similar enough for most people that very few people would need to decide based solely on throughput and read time alone. For example our application would regularly see hundreds of thousands of concurrent users with several million keys stored and yet our redis server was barely taxed at all.

There's also work where the overall utility generated might be much higher than the cost of the labor, but the utility generated specifically for the business or local government considering the project is lower than the cost of the labor.

Planting trees might only be worth $5/hour for the local lumber company, but the existence value of a new forest to the population generally might be many times that.

I suspect that the amount of potential work that fits into this category is enormous.
