Wagers on things which are part-skill and part-chance are covered by the definition of "gaming", which is one of the other forms of gambling in this law and seems like it was originally designed for games like roulette, poker etc. If the loot-box is designated gaming then the restrictions are no less severe and certain exemptions around lotteries wouldn't apply (so probably more severe).
Yeah, that is in line with what I'm saying. This is a bit off the map from my original point about the value of a limited worth resource being held magically in the human suffering required to extract it naturally. My initial point was not that anyone should buy real diamonds at a retail store. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

If you would like to have an argument about something that really doesn't matter I would prefer if it was Star Trek related and not "Diamonds as an Investment" related.

Submitted for your approval.

How does warp drive compensate for the temporal complications of faster than light travel? Earth and the Enterprise all seem to keep the same clock. I'm not convinced they could do that effectively even with the proposed energy output of trilithium. It just doesn't add up. Warp isn't creating a wormhole to punch through subspace, which could account for it (maybe?). Faster than light as a warp bubble stretches space forward and around the ship slinging it to it's destination. After a fun trip to Risa, you would get home and your kids would be elderly. I'm no astrophysicist, but my armchair quarterback understanding says that's the case.

Would travelers aboard a starship essentially become gods compared to their planetary counterparts because of temporal perception? They wouldn't age (from the perspective of the planetary occupants) but they would have accumulated massive experience and useful insight while the planetary toil away in the moisture farms. Checking in from time to time, maybe getting 3 visits in the lifetime of their loved ones. Sorry, mixing universes. I think my point still stands.

What sort of societal constructs would even grow around something like that? How long before the interstellar separate completely as a different race? My bet is not very long, but I think they would still come back to the planetary frequently as it would be an invaluable information resource for their new Galaxy Class civilization.

To keep this debate on the rails, we should probably avoid abuse of concepts involving tachyons. Reverse or otherwise.
I agree, the effects can be very impressive. I meant, that what is achievable is quite clear now and that we need a major innovation/steps for the next leap

There is no damage. Certain diamonds are laser-engraved with microscopic serial numbers, which can be linked back to certification. Nowadays people are even having their names and wedding dates put onto the diamond.
Put another way, not "lazy" then, but "slow". Because if you're "fast" enough (in understanding something new or different), you can do more of your own research and thinking and demand a higher bar on the outsourcing accuracy.
That's probably why some of the insurance policies require things like curfews and private security.
The article states that planets may outnumber stars 100,000 to 1.

The Milky Way has 4E^11 stars.

It has an upper estimate of 4E^16 planets.

It has a lowest estimate diameter of 100kly.

It has an estimated thickness of 2kly.

It's lower estimate volume is 63,000 kly^2.

-----------------------------

If planets are uniformly disrupted (they surely aren't), there are ~17 planets in every cubic light year. Sure, that's a hazard.

They went on to make AlphaZero, a generalised version that could learn chess, shogi or any similar game. The chess version beat a leading conventional chess program 28 wins, 0 losses, and 72 draws.

That seemed impressive to me.

Also they used loads of compute during the training but not so much during play.(5000 TPUs, 4TPUs).

Also it got better than humans in those games from scratch in about 4 hours whereas humans have had 2000 years to study them so you can forgive it some resource usage.
Same as Ferraris, except wealthier. No one needs a private jet. A turboprop is much more efficient. This is faster though, and there's a certain cachet to being able to say, "We took my jet."
My wife and I got married without buying a diamond ring. I simply refused to spend money in things that are overvalued by the market because some marketing scheme was so strong that it made facts look silly. I told her that I refuse to spend money on things that cause other people pain. Especially when there is no guarantee that the diamond we buy are not blood diamond. Instead we invested our money in buying things that are truly beneficial in our lives, like buy an SUV, preparing for a baby, preparing to buy a home.

I have to say this is a huge step forward. I just talked to her about buying her a 3 carat lab-grown diamond ring now because of this news. She's still in doubt. I told her "It's the exact same thing, and no one died in the process the rest is up to your perception now".

FYI, you're just quoting some technobabble.

Back in reality there were popular magazines like Discover that would have flashy covers about things like ROUGE PLANETS! Mostly just sensationalism.

Some semi-unemployed Hollywood writer would be paging through these while smoking out and get inspiration for a script. That is Star Trek's scientific insight.

And I'm a trek fan. OP probably just doesn't know a lot of this stuff was "ripped from the headlines" (of popular science magazines).
I'm sorry but it feels really good to be true about many things like Blockchain and AI/ML hype, get ostracized for having such opinions by communities like HN and Reddit, wait few years and then find out that they have all jumped ships when you didn't check.

>This is subtly different from cruise control, which lets you concentrate on steering and rest your foot on the brake so you can use it quickly if needed. Cruise control doesn't encourage lowering attention, but enhances it.

What has lead you to this conclusion? Autopilot is really just advanced cruise control. You can treat it the exact same way by leaving your foot on the brake and leaving a hand on the wheel. If people aren't using it that way, that is certainly something Tesla should try to fix. But I am just not sure I buy the argument that cruise control is inherently a safer technology than cruise control plus auto steering.

Thanks for the insight, that's very helpful. That would confirm what I suspected: it's not the core solving algorithm that's slow. Rather what's slow is building the graph in the first place.
Sure it is not technically a loan. But it carries the same sentiment change when it blows up. People get extremely cautious, to the point of skipping some really good ideas. And not just those VC's that made the bets but everyone else too. Fear spreads just as effectively as hype.
As you can see from the output, it is not the solver per-se, but the weird idiosyncrasies of go imports and gopath layout. 'satisfy' and 'select-atom' and such are the solver bit and take about 20ms all together. A SAT solver is 20ms, MVS might be 1ms, but who cares about that difference, right?

The top 3 items there are slow because they're:

1. 'source-exists' (~6s) which will do network traffic to find if a project exists to be downloaded or is in the cache; it's network io heavy in most cases.

2. list-packages (~3s) which parses the downloaded source code for import statements to find further dependencies; disk-io heavy + go loader has to do some work

3. gmal - GetManifestAndLock (~2s) which looks for lock files, including of other dependency solvers; disk io mostly I think

Any system designed with the constraint that it cannot use a centralized registry / list, must be compatible with things not using this system (and so must parse their code), etc will have these problems regardless of the algorithm.

Those steps are all doing network/disk-io/go-parsing, and none of that is SAT solving.

I don't think vgo has these problems because vgo is built by the go team and can dictate far more, such as the use of a centralized repo, that all dependencies must use vgo, etc.

I find it best to stick with UTC. Otherwise there's too much ambiguity. Especially when we're all pretending to be somewhere that we're really not.
It’s certainly easier than it was before, but video is also as hard as ever because of the many moving parts. To replicate YouTube (in terms of basic features, not scale), you need:

- robust transcoding that is reasonably fast, into a multitude of different formats to accommodate web and mobile (example problem: do you support vertical videos)

- a good CDN at the best cost you can. videos need to start almost immediately

- ability to snap thumbnails and other artifacts

- lots of storage

- a fast single page app

- content controls (because a lot of people upload porn)

- a good extensible player that supports fullscreen and VAST ads and whatever else

- a robust uploader that can reliably handle large chunked uploads

I remember a quote from Chad Hurley where he said the reason YouTube succeeded was because unlike its competitors, who were all offering similar services, it didn’t suck. Given this laundry list of must-haves, you can see why it was so easy to suck.

If we may not connect directly to reality, which has been a well established idea for the last 250 years, how could we deny that what is reality to us is essentially a construct?
I did no math to confirm this but intuitively it seems incredibly unlikely to hit a rogue planet if you shoot something to a star randomly. How's it any different than shooting something inside Solar system and accidentally hitting an asteroid?
And that (near critical mass rogue planets smashing into stats) sounds like a cool angle for visual simulations.
Planets can be detected by their gravity field.

Collision with planet sized object in space would be extremely rare. Even if you would travel blind it would be very unlikely that you would hit star or plant while traveling trough galaxy.
Wedding rings are supposed to be expensive, that’s the point. It’s basic signalling. You know this, deep down. Of course there are exceptions, but those are often about explicitly signalling some other virtue. Like hipness.

Warning 23 year old CS grad angst ridden post:

I'm very sick of the AI hype train. I took a PR class for my last year of college, and they couldn't help but mention it. LG Smart TV ads mention it, Microsoft commercials, my 60 year old tech illiterate Dad. Do any end users really know what it's about? Probably not, nor should that matter, but it's very triggering to see something that was once a big part of CS turned into a marketable buzzword.

I get triggered when I can't even skim through the news without hearing Elon Musk and Steven Hawking ignorantly claim AI could potentially takeover humanity. People believe them because of their credentials, when professors who actually teach AI will say otherwise. I'll admit, I've never taken any course in the subject myself. An instructor I've had who teaches the course argues it doesn't even exist, it's merely a sequence of given instructions, much like any other computer program. But hey, people love conspiracies, so let their imagination run wild.

AI is today what Big Data was about 4 years ago. I do not look highly on any programmer that jumps bandwagons, especially for marketability. Not only is it impure in intention, it's foolish when their are 1000 idiots just like them over-saturating the market. Stick with what you love, even if it's esoteric. Then you won't have to worry about your career value.

It's also quite disconcerting to consider the implications of this. Since we 'opt in' to the articles we click on, tracking what individuals read and then building a profile based off of that would be quite informative, and quite invasive.

And then sharing, trading (to expand the profile), and selling it to other companies? Really nasty stuff.

I'm by no means well informed on these topics, but I'm unsure where you're getting your 2 billion year estimate. Furthermore I thought that Earths magnetic field shielded from solar radiation, and additionally that there's a significant amount of radiation in space anyways.

Further questioning I have though is, does solar radiation penetrate through ocean water?

What radiation is between solar systems or what rogue planets would likely encounter, and how that effects single cell life, amino acids, organic compounds, and any other building blocks to life?

Tesla Autopilot doesn't see stationary objects. It sees moving objects with its radar, and tries to avoid hitting them. It sees lane markings with its camera, and it tries to stay between them. Sometimes lane markings are confusing, worn, or inconsistent. If that happens, your Tesla will smash you at 70mph into a concrete barrier/police car. It will not slow down if it is uncertain about the lane markings, it will not beep if there is a stationary object ahead.

I know this thread is probably dead, but just feel like responding: the factor you’re leaving out is that having multiple people competing to develop the best knife leads to better knifes.

This is old school Econ 101, but I think it’s relevant. Know we have multiple options for knifes. How do we decide the best one? We let people decide for themselves, and price is the signaling mechanism as to where resources should be focused.

So we have a “market mechanism” for discovering quality, thereby making “market” an integral part of the system.

It could be done otherways, and markets have known weaknesses, especially for certain categories of goods.

But for many categories of goods it’s a very powerful system to spur and support innovation and entrepreneurial endeavors. So to call an essential part of a market bases system valueless does not make sense.
It has.

I remember there was Linux Journal article about it, almost 20 years ago, regarding Java.

Also this is how mainframes like IBM i work. Binaries use the TIMI format and are JITed into native code at installation time or on demand, if needed.

React.js turns 5
I really wish everyone had a chance to use the autopilot feature and judge themselves. I use it every single day and trust the machine.

Issue is, with every complex system, there are few ins and outs that users need to know - like lane merge buffer lines, sharp lane merges by another vehicle in front of view, etc. Within your first few rides(below 10), users could pretty much guess when it works and when it might have issues.

On labeling the feature, it is marked clearly BETA and wiggle prompt is shown pretty much in all the confusing cases - so alert is never missed for me.

My only gripe is with all these incidents, Tesla is forced to update the feature to make it less user friendly or take out completely. I genuinely feel safe and come home every single day with less stress. Elon's tantrums are not helping the situation either.
That depends on the response time of the firefighters, ie. how long the fire is allowed to rage.

No.
The brain most likely has much more than a petaflop of computing power and it takes at least a decade to train a human brain to achieve the grandmaster level on an advanced board game. In addition, as the other comment says, they learn from hundreds or thousands of years of knowledge that other humans have accumulated and still lose to AlphaZero with mere hours of training.

Current AIs have limitations but, at the tasks they are suited for, they can equal or exceed humans with years of experience. Computing power is not the key limit since it will be made cheaper over time. More importantly, new advances are still being made regularly by DeepMind, OpenAI, and other teams.

>the driver has literally under six seconds (according to Tesla) to avert a fatal accident.

This is what gets me the most. Right after a tragedy Tesla is always quick to put out a victim blaming PR piece claiming that it's all the driver's fault and that they had i.e. "6 seconds" where they could see the divider yet they never publish anything like how long they had between when the car left the lane and the collision. Sure it was 6 seconds where they could see the barrier but how long was it between when autopilot went into casual murder mode and when it hit the barrier?

We've all seen videos like this one https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/8a0jfh/autopil... where autopilot swerves towards an obstacle and the driver only has a split second to react or be the next fatality. I think it's about time that Tesla acknowledges that their sensor platform is fundamentally dangerous. They never should have made such huge promises without lidar of any form. They aren't just going to be able to magically fix this with a software update.
