But doesn't that just make the search space of possible moves per unit time larger? That would require more processing power, but it doesn't seem like it would necessarily change the fundamentals of how the AI works.
This is (intentionally?) false and misleading.

$3.2B of that is going to replacing the system's electrical infrastructure, replacing 90 miles of track infrastructure, and on retrofitting all of the tunnels, including the Transbay tube, new train control systems, relieving crowding, and more. [1][2]

BART has problems, but it's not spending 3.5B on lights and cleaning seats, and to suggest otherwise, especially without a citation, is arguing in bad faith.

> AMD has said they'd publish it openly, but only in a version that relies on their abstraction layer.

Then if there is no licensing issue with the code they provide, someone is free to merge it to the mainline driver.

> implementing it twice would be impossible.

au contraire. Implementing anything twice is well within the realm of possibility, and porting the original implementation is even more likely. that is if the original implementation is open source.

If AMD had started releasing their Windows driver source, but refused to do any work with Linux, then the Linux dev team would be porting the entire driver. Fortunately, AMD has done better than that: they are working with Linux, at least for the most part, leaving the Linux dev team with much less to port, and us with a much better time-frame for feature-parity.

> And mainline will always be months or years behind.

I don't believe that. I believe that if AMD decides to start working with the kernel, as opposed to working with an abstraction layer, that we will start seeing these updates happen rather quickly and painlessly. Some at AMD may believe that working with mainline directly is too difficult, but I don't find that argument very compelling.

>Windows Phone had a good use interface, many people (including me) prefer it to the horror that is Android UI

You were definitely in the minority. The one common link between Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows Phone was that hideous and universally rejected tile interface abomination. It was so vile and user hostile that Microsoft had to eventually hide it behind a button in Windows 10.
If he's right, we won't be around to know.

If he's wrong, and we're still around, we're not going to care.

Might be the ultimate "prediction" ever.
Carrots are an interesting one. In rural America, where I grew up in the midwest, it used to be that you could fill an entire truck bed for $10 US with the "ugly" carrots from farmers who had large rejection stocks. No idea if this is still done today but I have no reason to believe it isn't.
As a proud dad of 3 incredible girls, I am very glad this product exists. I understand the argument that it would be great to not have gendered products at all meaning kids could choose what they want without any outside influence.

Unfortunately, we don't live in that world yet (and it could be a while off)
In the meantime, I can now buy a product that:

1. Encourages my girls to get into STEM.
2. Is not a hard sell.

My girls are socialized to like girly stuff. I am only partly responsible for this - the outside pressures and influences on my children are huge and very hard to resist.

So you could argue that this product is a compromise, but it's one I'll gladly make.

We used to do the same thing with the drop apples that fell off the trees before they were picked. If you picked ALL of them, to clean up, we used to get them for $1 per 100 lb grain bag. Some of them were mush or partly rotted, or just ugly, but who really cares, when they're going to be mostly pig food? There were always enough nice apples to save out a couple bags for freezing or making pies or applesauce.
"It's a shame because Russia could have turned into something amazing instead of the place it is today."

Rails is a pretty popular framework and widely used. How come something like this was not caught earlier, presumably its affects all Rails applications.

Why would anyone code this kind of inefficiency instead of using inbuilt constraints. Has the code been reviewed, tested? Too many questions.

It's surprising given how popular Rails was and still is that something which should have been caught in the early days of Rails is discovered now years later. Aren't all the production apps seeing this? Didn't Twitter see this?

The real concern is a lot of highly promoted technologies in HN do not get the proper technical scrutiny that one should take for granted in a technical forum and increasingly hype is conflated to quality.
It would seem rude for a toy maker to be asking children for their gender as assigned at birth (which is what I assume you mean) so they probably don't know.

Ok this is ridiculous, only on HN could we see child pornography being defended as a victimless crime.

First of all, no child should be exploited in that way. Period. Not up for debate. Whether or not they feel victimised at the time by what has happened to them is irrelevant. So by viewing or obtaining CP, one is supporting and proliferating that material.

> I will have to question that.

Question all you want, I don't think you'll find any other sane rational person who thinks watching videos of children being raped is totally fine.

> There is no victim nor is anybody harmed by possession nor viewing. Thus it is not wrong.

Here it is again 'CP isn't wrong'. Yes it is, I don't see how you can think it's not.

> Just like not every straight/homosexual person is a rapist, not every paedophile is a rapist.

Really? Every paedophile is a paedophile. It's not a kink, it's not a fetish, it's not a sexuality, it's a mental health problem and one that can potentially have horrific outcomes if the resultant behaviours are welcomed and encouraged.

I'm not responding any more after this, because frankly if you think being a paedophile is totally fine then you need to get help.
The tiles worked just fine on an actual touch device - it's not really any different than what any of the Android mobile devices I have features.

This x100.

There seems to be a popular notion that "feminine" traits are innate and universal to people with a "feminine identity", rather than the product of culture with socialization that treats female people consistently differently than male people from birth. However if you think about things that prepare someone for technical success, so-called "feminine" traits like caring about your appearance more than is actually necessary (makeup and jewelry serve no real purpose and take time and money) or being uncomfortable with conflict (bias for cooperation vs competition, people seeing assertive women as aggressive) are not good things that will help you be equal to or surpass your male peers in technical pursuits.

I can understand why it's uncomfortable to imply that the concept of "femininity" is not a positive one when it comes to tech (the creator of this probably disagrees with my assesment). But I hope we can continue to question the validity of "feminine" social constructs while also creating products like this, which bridge the gap after socialization has taken its toll.
At this point a measure based on some number of average gates per square millimeter (won't that be fun to get everyone to agree to) would be better advertising, and more truthful.

Working on an areal density works better in an era where improvements are going closer to linear.
This is one of the reasons I use Drupal. It is bloated a bit but the CRUD system is out of the box easy. You can add properties to entites on the fly without code, then turn it into an API system in a matter of minutes.
Actually advertising works like that too. Cumulative exposure to an ad can lead to a purchase decision after many, many impression. It's one reason why remarketing is so big.
Really? Who's come out ahead for going public with Julian Assange having raped them? Which of the two women at the center of his swedish rape case has achieved political gain?
> As an aside, I’ll never understand why people get so upset for rich people making bad bets and losing a bunch of money.

I think people are more upset about what companies don't get funded rather than which VCs lose their money (more accurately, the money of California government retirees). Companies like WhatsApp created staggering amounts of value by enabling affordable messaging around the world. WhatsApp is obviously a success story, but for every Juicero that's 20-100 other companies that could have done great things and never got the chance. However -- the outrage is always easiest to point with 20/20 hindsight.
While I don't have any advice for picking stock, make sure you track your overall return. You may find - as many funds do - that you underperform the market. And it might be worth it to index.

And if you discover you're better than an index, you know your time was well spent (although luck may factor into both scenarios).

Either way, quantify your effort. You're already likely putting in a lot of time to pick the stocks. An incremental bit more will help you track it.
Too bad you're so bitter. I was in full agreement with your original comment, thought it was unfair you were downvoted in the first place. And you're the truly clueless one if you think you can extrapolate the extent of my cleverness from such a small cross section of interaction with my being.

But I'd love to know how my comment made your point?

Reality is altered by downvotes, at the minimum through the color change on our screens as I pointed out, and in the mental reactions that arise when someone on Hacker News sees that greyed text.

There's also the fact that the downvoting is causing you to lash out the way you are, to protect your fragile sense of ego. Is that not downvoting changing reality? At one moment you were not irritated by being downvoted, and the next moment you were. And don't try to weasel yourself out of this by attempting to be aloof regarding downvoting, you've already missed your chance at that.

P.S. For the sake of your well being I recommend you not to reply to this comment.

P.P.S. Lol @ you editing your comment. Looks like I made my point.
> I don't believe that. I believe that if AMD decides to start working with the kernel, as opposed to working with an abstraction layer,

...then we wouldn't see any driver, or AMD would be dead.

AMD is months (!) to years (!) behind schedule already with a single platform to develop for.

How do you suggest they develop for two entirely different platforms, with the same budget, in less time?

> If AMD had started releasing their Windows driver source, but refused to do any work with Linux, then the Linux dev team would be porting the entire driver. Fortunately, AMD has done better than that: they are working with Linux, at least for the most part, leaving the Linux dev team with much less to port, and us with a much better time-frame for feature-parity.

Any time frame that isn't immediate is broken.

> Then if there is no licensing issue with the code they provide, someone is free to merge it to the mainline driver.

Yes, and the kernel maintainers refuse to do that, as they'd have to either maintain an entire separate driver, or continuously merge AMDs driver again, and again, and again.

________________________

AMD implemented a single DAL for Linux, Windows, Mac, Android.

They write one single driver for all platforms, and have already problems to do that development.

The alternatives are such:

(1) No AMD support on Linux at all.

(2) You personally pay the necessary billions to fund AMDs dev team

(3) An open AMD driver is continued, functionality is heavily limited and it is useless for any serious applications, so NVIDIA continues to dominate

(4) an open source driver is implemented for all platforms on top of a DAL

My goal is: A GPU with open source driver that is competitive with the best possible product on the market, and open.

The only scenario where this is possible is by either someone doubling AMD's budget, or with the DAL. Any action to prevent the DAL leads to more proprietary code in my life, therefore I consider it an attack on myself.
Well, to counter your point, HN rules are not about what everyone wants to see. It's about the desire to maintain a certain quality to the discussion.
Why Fidelity Is Mining Ethereum
PSA: 3nm doesn't actually mean ANYTHING except that it's smaller than 5nm (and larger) nodes from the SAME FOUNDRY. If you want a general benchmark now, TSMC "7nm" ~= Intel "10nm". Note that this isn't because Intel is pious and searching for the true node name or anything, their nodes used to be less dense than the industry standard (back above ~45nn) but just turned out denser now.
(1) and (2) greatly depend on field. A lot of people are discouraged using the active voice in, for example, an academic thesis because it allows the nasty question of "So how much of this did you do?" and writing "I did this" comes off as a bit weird. In journal papers the use of the active voice is slowly improving. I still find it a bit odd that people use we for single author work, but that's probably just ingrained.

To address point (3) a common route is to add an appendix or supplementary material. This is commonly done in deep learning for derivatives of novel functions so that others can implement the backward pass. Whether you can get it past a supervisor is another issue entirely! A blog post or accompanying website is an easy option.

(4) is another tricky one. How many times have you read "Deep learning has revolutionised <field>" followed by the usual citing of Hinton, Le Cun, Krizhevsky et al.? The spiel is identical in every paper, how many ways can you describe this stuff after all? At some point you just have to assume that the reader is familiar with the background, but you still have to cite everyone to keep the reviewers happy.

Again, if you need exposition, write a blog post about it.

(This isn't just for deep learning - every field I've worked in suffers from the same copy-pasta introduction.)

This also depends again on field anyway - some journals are much more approachable than others. Nature and Science, controversy aside, generally publish very readable papers.
Interestingly I've seen games that require you to cross moral boundaries, even when the game's story shouldn't require it:

1) Knights of the Old Republic: One mission is to steal something form an enemy headquarters. It's possible to sneak all the way to the item and steal it without being detected, but they forced a cutscene when you take it that makes you fight a boss battle.

2) In Morrowind, there are at least some missions where you're just supposed to collect some artifacts but they tag on something where you have to kill a guard even when they're not actually keeping you from getting the item.
I'm struggling to pinpoint where you two are talking past each other. "Length" in the context of a blockchain refers quite specifically to the amount of actual work. So "easy" to make "long" chain, seems like a straightforward contradiction.
Doooo iiitttt!!! :D

Imagine if it evolved differently based on how you programmed it and other virtual pets you encountered.

> Why are we talking about Ubuntu 16.04? Oh, right, you are trying to run AMDGPU-pro, and that is the specific distro version that AMD chose to support. Are you mad at the Linux devs or mad at AMD?

I'm running KDE Neon, which only exists as version based on Ubuntu 16.04

> Those are entirely reasonable things to want, but you aren't likely to find them with Linux. Linux is monolithic. It sounds like what you want is FreeBSD, with the support from AMD that Linux is getting. Currently, FreeBSD isn't very popular, so AMD chooses to ignore it.

My goal is this:

(a) 100% free software in my life

(b) no compromise on cost, or functionality.

The DAL is the only possible way I can get that.

I want 100% of the functionality, at the cheapest price, with entirely free software.

That's why I've been spending 4 years of my life to build a hacky copy of every single cloud service or proprietary software I might rely on. And that's why I want the same for the drivers, it's why I've been writing hundredthousands (!) of lines of code by now to replace software, cloud services, and android driver modules.

The DAL with an open source, but out-of-tree driver, is the only way I'd ever get close to this. Any other option leads to more proprietary code in my life. Therefore, your actions are the same for me as the actions of Google: they attack my freedoms.
> This is actually a useful feature

I don't get how this feature is at all useful. I find that any feature that can be abused, will be. And this is certainly no different.
Wait, so the articles says that that around 60k years ago, at this particular site, people started staying put longer and the artifacts became less sophisticated.

From the headline I thought this was going to shed light on the so-called "great-leap forward" which is supposed to be about artifacts becoming more sophisticated (or perhaps just more artistic) at very roughly the same time period in different parts of the world.
I tend to feel that not being backed by a large corporation is a point in Haxe's favour.

Your comment contains no less than 3 strawmans.

Do you really think its accurate to compare a corporation to one's family or place of birth? That's pretty absurd.

Did you actually read the article? The last part of the article - from "So, what can you do about it?" onward is a prescription for fixing the problems enumerated in the first part of the article. Attacks generally don't involve self-help advice.
I'm also not seeing the analogy. Ad revenue is part of the market/ecosystem for ads and sites. Hash power just is what it is, and the value of it does not seem to be connected to the content.
Census predicts that the US population will grow by tens of millions just in the next 15 years.

But note that I said global to begin with. I think letting people move around freely is a fine thing.

They seem to have killed a bunch of urls, but they do tables of future expected population. The US population is very much expected to exceed 400 million before too long.

I think a nice workaround for this is to use something like a Jupyter Notebook (which also has bash support). You have all the commands pre-entered and you can step through as necessary.

If you need to add something because of an audience question you can just insert a new cell.

It looks live and in my opinion better than faffing in a terminal.

You also have the bonus of being able to provide the notebook to your audience after the talk (or they can follow along with you).
The operating system too. CopperheadOS uses a noncommercial license, so it's not open source or free software.
I'm not by any means a Snapchat power user. But I really like the way my phone tells me where my normal photos are taken — it makes it very easy to find the photos. Also, any chat app would benefit because it's very easy for me to remember "i was talking about foo with Bar when I was over in Baz", but much harder for me to remember when that happened. So to me location tracking would offer many useful features. (They may not be worth it, and even the useful ones might not be available, but those aren't answers to the question you asked.)

Calling it a consensus reality is also showing an agenda - trying to make it sound more certain than it is, which is to push the agenda of saving people from possible harm of future climate change by fooling them into believing it's certain because they're not competent enough to assess the risk of uncertain things. I'm not complaining about trying to do good, but it's not science, it's belief and it might be wrong.

The rest of science doesn't get described so confidently because people don't care if the general public believes it or not. If you're interested in understanding, not politicizing, then it doesn't matter if there's a consensus or not. Look at the history of consensuses about how nature works to see how unhelpful they are at determining what reality is.
