The algorithm won't assign them that way in that case. A more thorough explanation is elsewhere in the comments, but essentially if Alice got placed at B despite preferring A, they had to have gotten bumped from A, then bumped someone (or found an open space) at B. But Bob can't have been the person that bumped them: if there was an open space at B, Bob would never even have considered A; if Alice bumped someone at school B, then in your situation it must have been Bob, and so for Bob to end up at A when Alice couldn't there had to be someone else with priority between Alice and Bob for A, exactly the person getting screwed over by the swap.

This also happens in the Rust documentation generator. The code snippets in any piece of Rust documentation are compiled and run, and the assertions found in it will be reported if they fail. They're sort-of automatically part of the test suite.
Consider an alternative theory: the vinegar is a digestive aid (just like pineapple) and your root cause or part of it is, in fact, indigestion. I only suggest this because I found indigestion to be the one and only consistent cause to heartburn/reflux in myself. Seems like some foods don’t want to break down from normal stomach acid but will respond to other acids. So that’s my theory. But whether it’s accurate or not, it does work.
Good work. BTW, why can't you save it in Github or even Google drive? Am i missing anything!?
Formalisations do break down in the limit, Wittgenstein showed everyone that, but the denial is a deep and powerful choice "he must transcend these propositions and then he will see the world alright."

There were engine room troubles for symbolic AI, committed choice meant that reasoners were unpredictable and impractical. We saw 100k improvement of compute change sub symbolic AI, and it has done the same for symbolic, and there have been some really smashing advances in the algorithms. Answer sets explode all solutions and then eliminate contradictions, we couldn't have dealt with them in the 90's (much less in 1985) as the idea of having 10G data structures in memory would have made people lol... but now so what?

Probabilistic formalisms and MCMC have changed what we can write down and reason about effectively as well.

I was very interested to read the story a few days ago about the relationship between compute resource and results in deep learning. https://blog.openai.com/ai-and-compute/? I was more interested to read the HN reaction! My team has had lots of success creating models using our cluster (in 2014) and then a cluster of GPU's which we bought because we could see that this was the way to go. We haven't gone and spent 100x more since then, and yet we now can see plotted out that the leading teams are doing this. The hardware has not improved at a rate of doubling every 3.4mths, it's hardly improved at all for 12 mths. What's happening is that people are spending money to make waves.

This is denial big time. Brute force is a wall, you can climb a few bricks, but the top is unobtainable. There have been some improvements in tree search and there have been some insights in terms of where we are wasting time with optimisations that aren't working but I've always thought that DL is brute force at heart and I think we are where we are with it now, and Alphazero is where we are going to be until someone really sees a new way.

> Fair enough. As an implementer at a company, I can understand that sentiment. But the GDPR isn't for companies, it's for users.

You're absolutely right! GDPR is wonderful for users as a ringing and clear statement of human rights.

Unfortunately, it also needs to be for companies because it affects companies just as much as users. I would go so far as to say GDPR rests almost entirely on companies to turn this stirring declaration of human rights into rights said humans can actually make use of. In this regard, it's a collection of opportunities for improvement of awe-inspiring proportions.

You're right. Technologies and threat landscapes change. Regulation needs to acknowledge this or be worse than useless. Yet, perhaps there are ways to deal with this that don't rest largely on handwaving away critical questions of what compliance actually might look like with weasel-words like "reasonable".

Does that seem possible?

Make that 1985 for windows 1.0

Stunning success in creating Hal 9000s or image classifiers? Because traditional AI was aiming for generalized intelligence and not just success in narrow domains. Minsky's critique of modern AI (or rather the entire history of the field so far) is the lack of progress on common sense.

> It's just that examining evidence related to past events can only go so far in explaining their cause. If you assume natural causes all the way back, you will inevitably reach the limit of a natural chain of events. If the origin of life isn't a big enough question, perhaps the origin of the big bang is -- how does anyone go there without stepping into the metaphysical?

Why speculate in the absence of real knowledge? Maybe some questions simply cannot be answered? Maybe some answers are simply beyond our reach for now? Faced with these gaps, If I'm going to get metaphysical, I'd sooner reach inwards than outwards.

> My point is that on the surface, philosophically speaking, there's no difference between the two explanations beyond their starting assumptions.

Pretty vague, and I disagree in any case, I think—there seems to be a great difference between the two. One is based on phenomena we have directly observed (comets, life on Earth, etc.), and the other is not.

> Not at all. Everything that exists constitutes evidence for him in one way or another. (It’s late. Can provide more details tomorrow if you’re interested.)

If you presuppose that "He" exists and work backwards from there, sure. Otherwise no, I don't think so. Willing to read more, if you write it.
> the article kinda does answer

As you say, "kinda." Obviously, the way I understood it, it kinda doesn't. It does make some simple tests, but fails short from concluding (or clearly stating) anything specific in the text of the article. The way I read the article, it still appears to me that there are some specific names active in the scopes used, the way they are used, and that author's code hints at them.
Logging them by default is a silent opt-in to a scenario where you are legally obligated to protect data you may not even know exists.

Anyone whose software logs IPs by default should stop, so that the admins who choose to log IPs must voluntarily choose to log protected information and handle it appropriately.
> If the test is based on the standard middle/high school curriculum (if there is one), then it can be a fairly good predictor.

I doubt that, humans are capable of overfitting standardized tests extremely easily. Just doing a single practice run will usually give you significant advantage. You would have to "regularize" by changing the test structure/types of questions/whatever every year, which is not really feasible.

> Otherwise, even if it is an arbitrary test, it takes study skills and discipline to be able to master it. I imagine that both of those traits correlate with performance at school.

Sure they do - except now you have got students training for a significant part of their middle school life for an arbitrary test instead of some "real" education.

I'm the first person to criticize the US, but I've been to the US and to China, and no, it's not the same level.

A higher percent of the US population enjoy a lot of freedom and comfort than the chinese population. In China, only the very rich have what the american middle class has. Also the US hasn't been employing children to manufacture things on his soil for a while (well, it does delegate that to China, but it's another debate).

So no, definitely not on the same scale.

But if I had to pick which one is the most dangerous for the world, I'd pick the US. They are very aggressive, they always have been, and they think they are the best country in the world and that everything they do, no matter how bad, is justify because of how awesome they are.

If you read some of the comments of the threads, you'll see that some people completely dismiss their military activity like it's nothing. Like was is not a huge terrible deal. Like they had to do it, and it was right.

My favorite is "we only invaded Irak twice".

So yeah, for WWIII, the US is definitly in my favorite pool. Especially with their social and economical crisis, that will be easier to distract from using scape goats and guns than to solve.

Well, yes and no. It's true that the US is more an oligarchy that a democracy, but the people have the possibility to vote with their wallet. The US literally takes the direction its people choose to consume, because the corporation have so much power, and they are only interested in things they can sell.
Most non-scam cryptocurrencies use the currency thing to back up another technology on top of it. For example smart contracts or storage of data.
Indeed. Is anthropology useful to humans? I hope we'd all agree that it is, and would be even/especially if conducted by aliens (assuming they shared their findings, which would be a massive violation of the Prime Directive).
Decentralization doesn't have to mean anonymization. The real benefits lay in the lack of a middle man to take a cut and possibly slow down processing times.

> The Wikipedia editing process is broken

It is broken, in my opinion, because people in charge insist that it is not (and should not be) a democracy.

So in the end, there is no clear understanding who is in charge, and you get people who invest lot of time and get implicit power.

Democracy is a principle which, for all its failings, is there to protect interests of people who can't or don't want to fight for power full-time. Because we say, here we are being treated as equal. By explicitly setting the power that people have, democracy makes attaining implicit power somewhat pointless.

Therefore, democracy is in the interest of people who want to get job done and not get so much involved in politics.

Are any of those your favorite show? House of Cards was entertaining, but I don't know anyone who had it as a favorite or even liked it by the end.

> I think it arises from a misguided attempt at calling out hypocrisy

That's quite a good analysis.

And it's literally the case here. OP was going all "white knight", being judgmental and saying how could people help such a bad country as China.

Which is both a limited view and hypocrisy at it's finest. I'm veggie, but I don't stop being friends with meat eating people, although I do consider it something cruel.

The world is not black and white.

It's not because we don't know it's not a proper civilized argument. It's because it was not meant to be an argument in the first place. Just a way to keep OP in check.

Then don't use the project. Good lord... the sense of entitlement is over whelming!

"I shouldn't be forced to make a contribution to a project" OMG.

Anyways, the whole argument doesn't matter and is totally irrelevant. Serious teams/engineers will analyze the code, consider using it, and then assign developers to help out with documentation if it provides sufficient value proposition. And thus the cycle of OS improvement continues.

Yes, documentation would be nice, but code quality is 100x more important. 100 times out of 100 i'll pick the project with better code quality over better documentation.

BTW, clear, understandable code and APIs is an example of good code quality. And of course, well written unit/integration tests usually provide sufficient example code.

This does not concern the GDPR, as the article clearly states, at issue was the interpretation of the old Directive.
Which a lot of comments here prove they have forgot. I mean, the "we only attacked irak twice" is really something.

I feel like this article would be warranted if ML results had stalled and not achieved anything impressive in a few years. But we had AlphaZero recently, and Duplex is pretty impressive. There's no indication that cool new stuff isn't forthcoming in the near future. It's entirely possible that the current tradition will prove to not be up to the task of building an AGI by itself, and we'll need to invent new techniques. But in the absence of better ideas, continuing to iterate on ML and neural techniques seems like a good approach.

I think that you've got your timing out there. Money started to flow straight after Gulf War 1 in 1992/3 because several folks had build components of the logic systems that were used for organising the logistics (Tate : HTN's; Winston schedulers - although I am hazy about this) What I am clear about is that there was money to be had for AI research after that.
I really like what they're doing with maps and map generation. To highlight a few from this post:

"Hellas" gives you random cutouts of actual Greece landscape.

"Egypt" is just Egypt rebuilt at small scale, including 6 pre-built cities.

"Jebel Barkal" has a pre-built city on it, which dominates the map and occasionally launches attacks against the players.

But it seems the smart way is to default on this (as long as it doesn't affect the co-signer, or the co-signer should default on it - if possible - as well)

That doing you are referring to, how is it related to advancing the state of the art? Does it only happen on the forefront or is rediscovery just fine? If it's the former, then everything up to that point must be a cruel grind to compress millennia of discovery into less than a lifetime. Curriculums usually follow the historical development of their sub-field, just skipping the dead ends. So in theory, at any point in time you could remove the books with the spoilers, lock up the classroom and let the students rediscover on their own. That might confer the excitement, but it would be glacial. So you add a teacher, to nudge the students into the direction of the fastest path. That quickly turns into full-on spoilers and students are left with watching someone reenact discovery at break-neck speed. Is there any place in the world that teaches math in a different way? The idea is sound, faithful execution impossible.

That being said, the author was studying applied mathematics. It's kind of their job to not get excited and instead ask the boring question of "how will I ever use this in real life".

You are right, I forgot to state an assumption, which is that "a gets pushed out of A" happens before "b gets pushed out of B" (and then goes on to apply to A).

One of those things must happen before the other (each step in the algorithm is a currently-unassigned student applying to their next choice). In your case, if a is the most-preferred non-accepted student for A, then b must have been pushed out of B first, so the argument applies to B instead.
That's rarely been my experience. In fact, documentation usually exists because code quality is poor and it needs to be explained.
maybe you shouldn't have gone to private school, or not gone to college at all.
