To set it in perspective here is the part about the violated Agreement:

> In that Agreement, Defendants promised, among other things,

> (i) to use the CryEngine game development platform exclusively and to promote that platform within the video game,

> (ii) to collaborate with Crytek on CryEngine development, and

> (iii) to take a number of steps to ensure that Crytek's intellectual property was protected.

> Defendants utterly failed to follow through on those promises, and their actions and omissions constitute breaches of contract and copyright infringement and have caused substantial harm to Crytek.
A lot of malls started kicking out the arcades in the early 1990s, assuming they had them in the first place.

Then they started kicking out the kids completely, and act surprised when they don't return after reaching adulthood.
What? Chase.com is horribly bloated. It takes a good 25 seconds to load. (I measured)

Reminds me of the case with TPB. The court argued for large sums of ad revenue and the founders were like: “no idea where that money went because we never saw it”
Such a simple and elegant solution. We could also upload our minds into said robots remotely.
Can anyone summarise how self play works here if AlphaZero only starts out being told the rules of the game? Does it initially plays games using completely random moves as both players? Is it only told who the winner is with no other feedback? How is it able to learn e.g. that certain moves at the start eventually lead to a win?

Your argument is based on intent. YouTube shows their intent to not infringe by the effort they put into removing infringing content.

But the GP discards intent as a relevant point and says if you host it, you should be thrown in jail, regardless of intent.

Likely, somewhere in the middle is more reasonable. But the parent is correct in that the volume of infringing content on YouTube appears to be significantly larger than just about anywhere else, and no one is raiding their offices. No one is going to jail.

So the asymmetry is striking. If it were all purely civil rather than criminal, I'd get it.
>> Finally, he overstates how hard it is to customise the engine (Markov algorithm + AI) to a game.

I think you're imagining some setup in which a neural net is directly
communicating with an external rule engine that generates a set of legal
moves for each piece in each board configuration. That's not how it works. You
know how people say that Neural Nets are "black boxes"? That's what they mean.
You can't just plug into arbitrary steps of their training with arbitrary
external processes. You have to setup everything right at the input and then
wait patiently at the output, until what you want comes out. Then you can plug
that in to whatever reasoning loop you want to set up.

So like I say, it's not a trivial thing and it doesn't generalise very well to
arbitrary problems. You need to match the architecture to the problem. For
example, that's why ConvNets have been studied extensively for vision- their
architecture is specifically tailored to vision problems.

Hence also the doubts expressed in the article about the claims to general
game-playing ability. Yeah, you might imagine that it's possible to create a
specialised architecture to play any particular game (or even sets of games
with similar setups, like chess and shogi)- but it's not clear how exactly
you'd do that automatically. Handcrafting a thousand architectures for a
thousand different games is not very "general purpose", is it?
It's not foreigners' fault that salaries in Poland are low. And shaking fists at powerful neighbors is counter-productive.
Disagree. Slides, even out of context slides, can be an excellent source of information for people new to a field: they still give a sense of the structure of the talk (what is related to what), and they give you keywords to start searching for. And for experienced readers, sometimes they just contain nice ideas or tips you had not been aware of.
Apparently this is done by injecting nanoparticles into each mature plant, not by gene-editing, so the plant's offspring won't glow.

I still can't see it being remotely practical as a light source.

This is not as much about xenophobia (as xenophobic as USA is) but about not having an egg on your face.

Companies seems to love to throw "state sponsored" around because it sounds better to imply that you were so secure that only North Korea, Russia or China had a chance and at that level of attack (by such a state that openly challenges USA so often) it's not your fault you got breached because it's implied everyone would be. Equifax ran outdated Apache Struts for a few days after a patch and information about the vulnerability was out and now China is being pointed at with really flimsy (IMO) evidence[0].

On the other hand no one probably wants to defend China, North Korea and Russia and it sounds much cooler to be fighting against their state hackers than script kiddies and saying that all these "high profile state attacks" were script kiddies is basically shitting on the security industry in a way.

The framers of the U.S. Constitution knew the risks of the government creating and granting monopolies, however limited. The incentives are to remove the limitations and expand them.

The industries formed by these government-granted and defended monopolies have removed most of their limitations and keep growing. We see the benefit to them. They make big blockbusters that people enjoy watching, so we see that benefit.

The costs keep growing too, such as this article and the deprivation from the public domain of nearly a century of work. Meanwhile, technology has lowered the costs of production and distribution, making investment for most works unnecessary, obviating the need for a monopoly.

Have the costs grown to outweigh the benefits? The monopolists' power can maintain the monopolies past when that point so it's hard to tell, and people with different values will disagree, but this article points in that direction.
I'm one of those people: I'm not actually a scientist, but I studied mathematics and build my own agent-based macroeconomic models (amongst other things). I am also a fairly autodidact programmer, meaning my code is an ungodly spaghettified mess that can be used to scare small children.

I am very much aware that my ‘programs’ are of the “big untidy spaghetti script” variety, and I simply consider them a kind of work-in-progress, notepad, or prototype for later professional implementation. I also have a couple of professional programmers (cough ahem, coders, they desire to be referred to as coders) that are entirely adept at taking my horrid final ‘thing’ and converting it into production-quality code that doesn't take down the enterprise (with the same tools I use, incidentally: Mathematica, Python (>3.3) including SymPy and NumPy, and ABAP/SQL/Java for interfacing with the SAP ERP system).

The important part of this is that I never be under any illusion that I something that I toss together and make capable of ‘running’ be definitive code that can be put into production or used as-is, and that under no circumstances must the coders have any bright ideas about fudging the underlying mathematics.

> But baby-boomers with nest eggs cashing me out because they feel entitled to make an easy buck and are buying something they don't understand doesn't seem like the most important injustice.

That's condescending, hypocritical bullshit. Why do you feel entitled to "cashing out" on their savings because you're tech savvy?

> Not necessarily rich people (not just rich people), but well-off people who have money they don't need sitting around.

This is straight up delusional. I'm appalled that you would spend so much time describing who you think invests in cryptocurrencies, just to justify yourself profiting off them. Actually, most people who invest in the stock market know better than to get involved with bitcoin. Most people who hyped its value lately are the kind of people who have no idea what's about, invest poorly and have fewer funds. [1]

So yes, most likely your profit came from "broke people, people working several jobs on minimum wage, people who have to use food pantries, people trapped in debt". At least don't try to pretend it's otherwise.

Not sure how big breakthrough in Ai domain it is, but after watching some of the AplhaZero games against Stockfish (available at youtube) I'm convinced it's a true revolution in how computers play chess. It plays so much more like humans do, without the usual crazy micro management that other chess engines love to do. It's not boring to watch, makes very little weird moves that only a computer would ever make. If I didn't know what it is, I would presume that it's a real player (and extremely good one).

The need for vectorisation is a problem of the language, the user is not at fault.

> Whereas the "correct" way to play chess will consist of knowing always exactly which move to make, most Poker variants will require a statistical model that says things like "In this situation we will fold 4% of the time, call 89% of the time and raise 7% of the time". Then the actual choices you make are random with a specific weighting.

Instead of the output of the neural network being the move to make then, couldn't you make the output be the weight/probability you should fold, call or raise?

> How is it better than babel? Why is it innovative?

Just for the record, this submission's original title was "A very fast Ecmascript Transpiler+Bundler+Minifier in less than 80kb minified, gzipped"; There was indeed another submission with the current title, but I actually deleted it, thinking it was somewhat pretentious. I'm not sure how the title got reverted during migrating the submission to show HN.

I made no such claims as jazzle being better than babel; I'm not even sure such comparison would be logically true. All I said was that it has performed better than babel on my local benchmarks.

As for innovativeness, what I can tell off the top of my head is its advanced tdz tracker, along with its non-invasive transformation strategy for closures containing loop lexicals.

Thanks a lot reading this far, and I can't wait for your feedback!

I had last run this comparison with rust 1.15. I reran it with 1.22 and they have added a few of the fixes. Unfortunately, none of them mattered for the n-body solution I was using. What is more, it was more than 10% slower than 1.15. Not impressed. I keep saying I want to try out rust as a c++ replacement where I work as soon as it settles down. I think that may he a while. The problem is that the rapid changes in c++ are causing us problems too as far as tool accreditation for safety and security. So a language that changes even faster is a non starter. But the comparable performance and superior safety guarantees is quite attractive in our case.
> Reading about those things, one get the impression that the Department of State works for the Camber of Commerce, instead of the USA citizens.

If I'm not mistaken the first permanent "embassies" were set up by the Venetians (mostly) and the Genoese, and their role was essentially just that, i.e. protecting the economic interests of their "home" entities. It so happened that most of the time protecting the citizens who happened to reside in foreign countries also meant protecting their home-city economic interests, but that mainly happened because the citizens involved were traders themselves. So, in a way, you could say that what the Department of State is now doing is just the continuation of the initial idea of a "foreign embassy".
1. I can't picture that many Americans moving to Europe, even if it were easier.
2. Of those who do move, do you think they will be smart or stupid for doing so? Will Europe get America's best or worst people?
3. Isn't Europe full of Middle Eastern refugees and globalists? Is your view a minority or is it a common opinion of Europeans?

Are there areas other than digital media where you can make copies so cheaply and easily?
Russia lost it's economic importance here before we even joined the EU, and it's lost even more of it's importance as a trading partner, because Russia tried to use trade as a weapon. They have repeatedly randomly banned imports of products (mostly food) from Estonia and other countries for made up reasons, then removed the restrictions to repeat that again in some years. Then after a statue was moved they basically stopped all oil exports through Estonian ports, the excuse being an emergency repair that lasted ages on a railroad next to their border with Estonia.

Because of this most people avoid doing business with Russia, because it's just so random. You build relations, start selling something to them and then their state randomly bans the imports of the thing you've been exporting. There's too much risk.

If they were a reliable trading partner then everyone would be happier, and they'd have more soft power.

I've never seen anyone reference it in that way, which doesn't mean nobody does, but was the basis for my wording of "little actual relevance". (Admittedly, going to either HTML spec is not something that's needed very often for most devs, since most changes happen in other specs (CSS, web platform APIs at W3C, ...) and/or are widely documented outside, but while I've had occasional discussions involving quotes from the WHATWG spec, W3C HTML5 spec hasn't been referenced at all)

For the question "is this supported widely enough", caniuse.com + your local traffic stats is in most cases more relevant than inclusion in some spec or not.

Nowadays every time some news pop up revolving around cyber attacks more sooner than later someone points at China or Russia, with some very vague evidence at best. "Oh, we found a Russian text string embedded in the binary, it MUST have been written by the Russian government."
Star Citizen is an amazing idea. That idea was funded by millions, including me.
The people managing it should have never put our money on the line by not respecting whatever agreement they signed in the past. Review the agreements if necessary, but do not disregard them and put everyone hopes in the mud.
Star Citizen community is not expecting to pay millions to settle that lawsuit if that was avoidable, and yes, the community gave that money, better thread carefull here.
Reading the complains it seems CIG has just completely neglected the agreement. There might be a lawfull explanation to all of that, but if their description of the event is precise, the people managing the Star Citizen idea are at fault for not doing their best to protect it and should be questioned by the community.

> I think EU should make it easier for US citizens who get any job here to move over. Americans in general are super hard working. Europe needs hard working people

Chinese, Indians, Filipinos, Russians want to have a word with you.

And no, Americans won't move to Europe to do blue-collar jobs. That's what East Europeans, Asians, Africans already do, Americans won't do it any cheaper. Heck, go to the South, compete with the Mexicans. Why do you think it's any different?

If you really, really want to move elsewhere, there are plenty of opportunities. You'll have to brush up on geography and languages first though, and start assuming nobody will grant you special privileges for being an American.

Yes... too many people. If a software eng or ceo wanted to eat out, someone has to prepare the food. The person, in turn, has to live there.

So, if 86,000 is "poor" (defined as the minimum needed to live in the area), the person doing the food preparation has to be paid at least that. The "burger flipper" has to be paid that.

If people moved out, quickly the "burger flipper WOULD be paid that". But that, in turn, would attract "burger flippers" who simply compare the money. Resulting in high unemployment, and the need for food banks again.

Its the concentration of rich people that is the problem.
I wish WHATWG would properly version their work. I don't like the idea of a "living standard" because it leads to checking for individual functionality and feature detection, rather than being able to say, "This is fully HTML 5.x.x compliant."

Regardless of the state of W3C, if I built an embedded renderer based on their specs, I could at least say, "this renderer is based on <http-ref> and link to the recommended spec version. Whereas if I did that with the living standard href, I'd be out of date any time they decided to rename an attribute.

I know one thing for sure: it will achieve less output radiance than it receives as solar insolation.

I would be surprised if they were able to make it glow only when it was dark, so put a 50% modifier on that. Then you need to account for the energy needs of the plant, any inefficiencies in the light producing chemistry and light emitting apparatus (a semi-opaque bulk emitter will absorb a lot of the radiation it produces), but we'll generously assume that's equal to the difference between a conventional electric bulb and its light output, so we can approximate the light intensity with our expectations of regular lights. But you also need to account for the photosynthetic efficiency which Wikipedia says is about 2% [1], so you are at 1% of incoming light energy in equivalent electric light power.

Solar insolation gives you up to 1 kW per square meter, a large daisy might have an irradiated area of 0.01 meters or 10W input, and you get 1% of that so 0.1W output.

That's a couple lumens, or about 10x less than a typical solar landscape light. Which is as you would expect, because we eliminated the light sensor and (more importantly) used photosynthesis instead of a solar panel.

But fortunately, these things literally grow like weeds, or on trees!
