Unfortunately the things AlphaZero can do is much more restrictive than that -- it needs a very small, fixed state of the world and set of possible moves.

While chess if very complicated to play, the state can be represented by (at worst) an 8x8x6 boolean array (board, one of 6 possible pieces), for go a 17x17x2 boolean array. There is nothing similar for logic and and deep learning breaks down (in my experience) once you don't have that nice regular input space.

Just one question: what's wrong with using dotcom domain?
I think a large part of the answer is scope. The scope is international, and the scope of average, retail investors and their ability to do this ... well, unprecedented. Next, you have a lot of people with a lot of cash, tens, maybe hundreds of millions of potential people, in China, Korea, Japan, U.S., Europe, and so forth.

That's my hypothesis as to the 'unprecedented' aspect to all of this.

What other bubbles are there that were so lightning-quick, vast in geography and 24/7 operation.

Tulips at least required some sort of hand waving at auctions (presumably) and some transportation at some point after 'settlement'.

This is as fast as a video game connected to your bank account.
The entire point of Patreon is to spread the transaction fee across the people you are backing at $1/month or $1/post.

If they had this 2.9%+$0.35 fee get charged when they charge my card, I would be fine with it. Its the per creator charging of it that is ridiculous. Most of the people I back is at the $1 level, which would be not viable with the new fee.

There is no good reason for this, as even paying to the creator should be lump sum via ACH, rather than hundreds of $1 transactions. ACH (a electronic check system in the us) charges a very minimal amount for a connection to the network to cover admin costs. Current fees[0] are $264/yr+$0.000185/transaction. Even with paying ACH fees for both ends (creator and the patreon) and refusing to aggregate, ACH fees are still a rounding error.

What they should be doing is offering you to pay via ACH to reduce fees so the creators can actually get a bigger share of the $1 you spend.

> Our phones control us and tell us what to do when; social media feeds determine how we feel; search engines decide what we think.

All of this is only true is you let it be true. And if that is a basis for thinking we are moving into the singularity, then there is an echo chamber informing that conclusion. There are plenty of people who do not live their life via devices or social media. There are also plenty of youth rejecting those choices. But, almost by definition, you aren't hearing from those people online.

If anything, there is a voluntary split going on between those who are embracing tech as a central core of their life and those who reject it. And a subset of people like myself who make their living at it, then go to a home without it.
I mean RDU has fewer direct flights to the west coast. That's where tech is, investors are, initial customers are.

>If they really were committed to making things right in the event of a problem, they wouldn't have to fear being sued.

I'm a litigator and I'd rather arbitrate small disputes. Litigation is absurdly expensive and slow.

I've had great experiences with AAA arbitrators. They were fair and reasonable. They kept costs down too.

My biggest complaint about arbitration is that its too much like court. I thought it could have been more streamlined.

I've even used it as a consumer. When Sprint kicked me off their service for using BitTorrent, threatening arbitrator got them to buy back my two month old phone.

Plaintiff's lawyers hate arbitration because they like dumb juries.
Regret nothing. You are simply idiot :D
Yes, an exchange can do anything, especially for bitcoins which has zero regulations.

It's like a casino. The house always wins and only insiders really knows what's going on.
No, they just serve as a central point to match buyers and sellers so the buyers and sellers don't have to find each other themselves. They aren't making a market but they do get clearing fees.

There isn't much actually here, but an overblown fear of a bank run in favor of Bitcoin, which is amazingly unlikely.
Many things that were once "common knowledge" are now known to be false. That's why modern evidence-based medicine is increasingly effective and offers the only viable path forward. But it also makes me wonder what things we currently consider to be common knowledge today will be as thoroughly debunked as bloodletting 100 years from now.
At least with GNAT, it isn't that bad - you don't have to port support for tasking when targeting an architecture or OS - e.g. there's it supports bare-metal on many ARM boards, the runtime+glue needed is not much more than for a C compiler
It's at least an accepted economic theory - there is much heterodoxy in the field, and I've heard it before (and I agree with it, for what it's worth).
Try to avoid double negatives.
the expertise of their engineers leans that way .... why do we have many techs that can do the same thing? ... engineering is a social science
Right now it'd probably be a net positive to the economy. Many of the people who were in early and have made paper millions weren't all that rich before and just happened to get lucky, while the money that's cashing them out now is largely coming from wealthy people & institutions that don't want to be left behind. Redistribution from rich -> poor is usually an economic plus, because it shifts cash from people who have a tendency to sit on marginal dollars to people who have a tendency to spend it.

This could reverse if the average man on the street starts investing significant amounts of money, enough that they'd miss it if it evaporated. Then we'd get a big recession when the bubble popped.
A whole bunch of tongue-in-cheek "Is $xyz down?" type sites. Simple footer ad, maybe an affiliate link or two for a competitor and also my web hosting provider, some sort of social media affiliation like a pre-canned tweet with a complaint in it - they all pay for their domain name and hosting, some turn $100+ monthly in ad and affiliate revenue as well.

I'd estimate about $450ish on a good month, but it has taken a while to get to this point. I've stopped actively promoting any of them now, but the most profitable ones I'd probably invested 30-40 hours each in promoting.

>No 'news source' has any reason to disclose all the wonderful but boring details of any places it covers.

Disagree. Tiny town super local news is often hilariously revealing when it comes to the day-to-day mundane realities of the area.
A combination of "buyer beware", inadequate consumer advocacy, bought legislators, and a lack of competition.

The only reason not to lie would be real negative consequences, and those don't happen so much in the fake news era.
> wear a mask that would breathe for me while I slept

Dude, that's a really bad misrepresentation and very unhelpful to all the people who do need one. Many of them already struggle with self-worth issues, and seeing (whether intentional or not) lies like that spread, or worse, parroted back at them by others later does not help that.

It's made a lot worse by the alternative being to gamble on suffocating in your sleep, or doing brain damage to yourself with prolonged apnea periods that drop your blood oxygen, or at the very least, having a shit life due to low energy levels every day from having been 8 hours with the blood oxygen level of a 90 year old.

You're still breathing entirely under your own power with CPAP devices. All they do is basically balloon you up a little to keep your throat from closing up in your sleep, by providing a continuous flow of air pressure higher than the ambient air pressure. Yes they have an up/down rhythm that matches your breathing, but that's not because it breathes for you, but because it literally matches your breathing patterns so it won't obstruct your own breathing.

> put my bed at an angle so I could sleep through the heartburn/reflux

Also, to be honest, this is ridiculous. Medicines to help your body regulate gastric acid exist and aren't particularly expensive.
Take everything with a huge grain of salt here, I'm far from an authority on any of this, some of it I don't really grasp myself.

> Is this warming uniform throughout the entire depth?

I don't believe so, I think various ocean layers are practically on different planets. But I don't think it makes a difference, less warming at lower levels just means more warming at higher levels, producing the same effect.

> Is this warming uniform throughout the entire depth?

I don't think so, this is where waters uncompressability comes into play.
Good heavens! :)
What your describing is called a Mantrap.
Maybe a stupid question but does anyone here know how quantum computing would effect bitcoin/crypto in general?
I've always laughed watching the cultist end of the crypto community up on their imaginary moral high horses talking about how much "better" crypto was than banks and regulated markets.. given the fact that crypto markets basically represent all of the shady shit manipulators in regulated markets would love to do but can't.

I think this is the key point. If there's a power disparity (commonly, adhesion contracts), the favored party should not get to pick the arbiter.

It cuts both ways though - a large additional expense being necessary doesn't reflect well on the product in question either.

Make a list at the end of the day of what you should do tomorrow. Use that list in the morning to get started.

The current status quo is that large bitcoin holders can muck with crypto prices however they choose.
> Get up at 5am, go for a walk and get a coffee (not a sugar bomb - just a small coffee like your grandfather probably would do) and be back at 6:30a to start work.

I never understand these suggestions of waking up at 5am, I, on contrary feel myself much better if I can enjoy a late dinner/Netflix with my wife after kids are in bed or going out with friends. Waking up at 5 am means you need to fall asleep at 9pm. It means that if on a weekend your friend invite you to hangout or on Friday after work - it will be hard to adjust to this time change on a fly and you will feel miserable with them and the next morning too.
cmd-f'ed if anyone would mention it. not disappointed!

thank you, guys :)

Well, Russians claim otherwise and Wikipedia confirms. It's of course highly contra-productive to tell such things the American public.
One thing I would be curious at generating from this data set, given the historical period spanning, would be correlation between expected battle outcome & actual battle outcome.

As someone who picked up a computational military modeling course in college, attempting to model ancient warfar is a vastly different task than modern battles.

My gut would be that modern warfare de-correlates more strongly from numeric advantage due to increased speed and lethality of available force types.

Also, for the author, if you wanted to be more accurate, start calculating actual expected outcomes from the forces. Lanchester's Laws are as good a place as any to start.

Oh, they have a bitcoin strategy: making money out of the fools trading it.
He is just rambling in this post.
Wasn't this already demonstrated by the same people (Newcastle) 2 or 3 years ago?
Looks basically like black swan theory. Looking for explanations as if someone could have seen this coming.
I agree that Bitcoin is extremely risky, but I've looked at IOTA, and it's an utter nonsense project. It's centralized, because the tangle security model it purports to use doesn't work, and its developers have pulled antics like explaining away a flaw in the client code by claiming it was put there intentionally to thwart copycats, and claiming a "partnership" with a company after IOTA used that company's software.

Hyperledger meanwhile is not a distributed cryptocurrency project. It's software for building consortium blockchains, meaning blockchains run by trusted third parties.

I agree with you on Ethereum. It's now processing more transactions than all other decentralized blockchains combined, including Bitcoin.

Fair enough, I see what you mean. I take back my statement.
If I'm going to build something I'd be building a new browser. What I'm proposing fundamentally breaks the architecture of modern browsers. To achieve what I want, the first thing I have to do is remove any visible notion of tabs. There is exactly 0 browsers on the market that expose an extension for me to hide the tabs directly.

No one can look at more than one thing at a time, nobody needs tabs, what they need is a browser that fits their workflows, and a browser that exposes an API such that third parties can experiment with page groupings and orderings.
Yikes. This is the reason Im fearful of bitcoin.
I think he's talking about the party models...
The concept of a metabolic set point is a myth based on a misinterpretation of research. Many overweight people — including those with families and jobs — have gotten down to a healthy weight and maintained it permanently purely though lifestyle changes. So please don't claim that it's impossible.
As I understand it, that's true only if there's a balance of buy-side and sell-side hedgers. Owners and miners are sell-side hedgers. Who are the buy-side hedgers?
Can you do an "Explain it like I'm 5" of this? I don't doubt you but I'm struggling to make the connection. Will futures affect the pricing of the underlying asset? (I don't think so?)

I think you are saying "futures reduce volatility for the trader" but I'm not sure.
Why anyone would ever do this is beyond me. Same with Alexa-like devices.
You can avoid the fees on some bitcoin exchanges if you're a market maker, and with the volatility that's pretty easy most days. I made a couple 0% fee trades today alone. But, the second part is definitely true... you still need deep pockets to hold a long position.
Another good one is Dark Side of the Moon where amongst others Henry Kissinger, Donald Rumsfeld and Alexander Haig explain how the Apollo 11 moon landing was faked.

Bitcoin really worries me. I don't think cryptocurrency is a bubble, but I believe Bitcoin could be, and that its crash could cause a lot of market chaos, and hurt a lot of people.

What the general public doesn't understand about Bitcoin is that its promise was betrayed by its ruling elite. It is no longer peer-to-peer electronic cash, because it cannot scale to allow widespread peer-to-peer usage. It is increasingly becoming a pure speculative vehicle, with no utility other than as a store of value (and a very expensive to transact one at that).

In other words, the advocacy done years ago to put Bitcoin into the public consciousness was all based on a premise that turned out to be a lie. The investing public doesn't know any of this.

Why I say it 'could' be a bubble, rather than that it is a bubble, is that it could find utility as a form of central bank money. While the masses wouldn't be able to use it, it's conceivable that it could have enough utility to large financial institutions to maintain a very high value.
StarCraft AI tournament now lets you help students doing Game AI research
StarCraft AI bot coding tournament SSCAIT (http://sscaitournament.com/) has been around for some time, but today they announced they're going to support Game AI research in a more direct way - the tournament wants to raise money to directly cover the education costs of a few PhD students. Here's the announcement - and as a bonus, a link to latest weekly StarCraft AI report by them:

* From now on, SSCAIT is officially organized by the Games & Simulations Research Group at Czech Technical University in Prague (http://gas.fel.cvut.cz/). In addition to running the tournament, the group's puspose is to enable a few students to do Game AI related research.
* Starting today, SSCAIT has a new goal, in addition to its previous mission: Raise funds to cover the education costs of these students (it's really hard to finance Game AI research by traditional means here).
* For this purpose, we've started a Patreon page: http://patreon.com/sscait We'll be very grateful if you go there and contribute to the education of students interested in Game AI, as well as to the tournament itself.
* Our group is already working on several projects that will be useful for the SC AI community. All the projects will be open-source and I'll announce them here.

I've been on an almost all meat, egg and almost no plant matter, ketogenic diet for nearly 5 years. AMA on my diet.
Trint is Transforming Talk
The way I found out that for example, sugar and meat are among my enemies, was avoiding one of them for days, and writing down how I felt. One thing easy to forget is how different our metabolism can be when compared with others. But you have to make an effort to avoid just that one type of food, and keep eating everything else as usual. Even better is to repeat the experiment various times. And write everything down, do not trust your memory.
Advertising/PR manufactures beliefs, values, preferences and consent every day. Most people these days forgot or were not aware of how they were brainwashed by content or by other people into internalizing what they believe.
It'd probably be pretty efficient, but my ideal is as close to the state of nature as possible balanced with the benefits of a human society, so it's not really the way I'd want to go.
On this note, Otto von Bismark might be one of the most accomplished heads of state of all time, what he managed was pretty extraordinary, but at the same time he was swimming with the historical tide, so it somewhat magnifies his accomplishments "great man" style.

I wonder how true this is of many generals as well.
I used both and it was even better...

When I'm working on a specific problem I tend to open a lot of tabs, so my workflow was to create a new group, open all the tabs I needed while I worked (sometimes I'd open the same link in several tabs because it was easier than trying to find where it was) and, at the end, move whatever tabs I wanted to keep (for reference or future use) and closed the whole group.

That and good names for groups made easy to find anything even with hundreds of tabs. If something else came up and I had to drop everything I could open the groups view, select the appropriate group and have an almost-instant context switch. Then I could go right back to whatever I was doing and pick it up with the same ease.

With Tree Tabs but without Groups I can do something similar by using the root of each subtree as a group. However, it's not as nice:

- You can't change the title of the tab, all you can do is use a website whose title describes as best as possible the contents of the subtree, which makes groups like 'email' and 'Hacker news' easy to recognize, but complex tasks almost impossible (not to speak of two similar but separate tasks)

- Even if I close all the subtrees and only leave open the one I'm working on, the titles are still there, always visible. I find that it makes it more difficult for me to concentrate (and increases the chances of procrastination)

I miss Tab Groups.
I think negative articles like this can hurt or help things. People know that twenty years ago, articles about how the scary internet is abducting your children got people to think more about it, then adoption kicked in. Even news about the NSA didn't get average users to change browsing habits, despite access to VPNs and tor. All the scary articles about the bitcoin bubble have undoubtedly gotten more people to buy bitcoin.

I think tech companies would prefer to be seen as dystopian over idiotic. Negative tech stories that I've heard which have destroyed the companies -- juicero, for example, or google glass -- show their customers as idiots.
Communal reinforcement of delusions is vital for crazy people whom have few friends. Without their flat earther or Christianity conventions, they have nothing.

For those familiar with BOSH, Pivotal engineers built "Tornado" for load testing. It's a BOSH release of JMeter with some convenient dials.

Since it's BOSH, you can deploy to AWS, GCP and Azure without fuss. The difference between running one worker, ten workers or a thousand workers is a line of YAML and how much you're prepared to pay.

There are some blog posts:

"Half a Million Concurrent/Distributed JMeter Users with BOSH ... in 10 Minutes" (http://engineering.pivotal.io/post/jmeter-bosh-usecase/)

"BOSH + Apache JMeter(TM) = Tornado for Apache JMeter(TM)" (http://engineering.pivotal.io/post/jmeter-bosh-release/)

The release itself: https://github.com/jamlo/jmeter-bosh-release

Disclosure: I work for Pivotal, BOSH is definitely one of our favouritest things.
Many medical insurance companies already offer premium discounts based on tested blood glucose and/or A1c levels. So we kind of already have a mild form of what you're proposing. I don't agree with cutting off Type-2 diabetics from health insurance benefits, but financial incentives can help encourage some people to make better choices.
