But football is the only real global sport. There's a country on every continent where football is the main sport. What other sport can claim that?

So dominating football is hard, because there's loads of other countries where local tradition is to train football.

You are describing the anti-intellectualism movement. We wouldn't have many of the conveniences of today with that type of thinking.
The problem with not having affirmative action is that disadvantaged groups, even if on a level playing field on paper, have had their wealth actively destroyed while the advantaged groups have accumulated lots of it. The civil rights movement made people equal on paper, but nonwhites still had to deal with the shit hand they were dealt for generations. (And even legally advantaged groups have subgroups that have not done well, like Appalachian whites, but even so they were eligible for things like GI Bill benefits that nonwhites did not.)

Affirmative action is a clumsy policy to fix the legacy of such issues, but more targeted ones like substantially increasing education and social funding for disadvantaged groups, or reparations, are politically beyond the pale.

No, you have risked nothing but your time. Since you have no investment at risk you should not get preferential tax treatment meant to encourage you to do so.
OpenAI Gym Problems – Solving the CartPole Gym with JavaScript
My personal theory was that dreaming allows humans to rest while staying somewhat alert to the environment (because outside phenomena tend to manifest inside dreams). The phased aspect of REM sleep allow groups of humans to sleep at night while guaranteeing that some members of the group will be in REM rather than deep sleep at any given time, so the group never becomes completely unconscious of the surrounding environment.

They didn't qualify this time round, but they are by no means a joke. They tend to do ok until they come up against real contenders. And they have a fair few players in the top leagues, though not so many at the very highest Champions League level.
”the average driver is not going to improve any time soon while self driving cars will.”

I don’t see how that’s an argument in favor of letting today’s self driving cars loose on the road.

We don’t let people without any driving experience drive cars either because, if we let them, they “will improve soon”.

Or are you suggesting letting self-driving cars loose now is a necessary sacrifice we have to make to make progress?

> it's unrelated to the prior art... they've made no determination that what is in the emails is relevant to anything that I can see

Paragraph 6.1: "The author of D1 [Jarek] provided in January 2014 in an on-line discussion forum information that would allow a skilled person to reach the invention without having to apply any inventive skills."

Paragraph 6.2: "In particular, it has been proposed in the on-line discussion forum to use ANS in video compression "like VP9" (D5)..."

The patent court is saying that Google's patent on ANS in video compression is invalid in light of Jarek's prior art, exactly as Jarek claims. The report cites Jarek's emails (documents D5 and D6) as prior art over and over.
It’s not really discrimination if it’s based on evidence, which is the only thing insurance companies care about. Younger men are far more likely to act like they are in a Gran Tourismo race than people of other ages and genders. This is borne out by evidence from car crashes, etc, not just something someone decided because they don’t like men.
Continue learning while also continuing to "forget" ... that's very interesting! Space required to save data remains constant, and their ability adapts to environment and conditions. So... seeing neural nets as living structures instead of as snapshot sieves/filters... very strong approach. I wonder if for solid AI we need to make ai-biology first. To be concrete about what I'm saying now, consider that we are not in conscious control of the generation of our skin cells or the processes of our kidneys, but they do organically persist on their own. Maybe we need to get ai/biology so tight-knit first, so that we can have a proper vehicle for an AI-mind to journey within, while also not necessarily rewriting the code for its heartbeat when it just wants to remember names of common phenomena.

Your data is about the mobile device that allowed us to make a phone call.

If you say that "this is also data" then we have that kind of data for chatbot as well, e.g., the number of sales of Alexa and Google Home devices, or Messenger installations, etc.

I replied to Retric’s claim about Autopilot ”I think these are already fairly close to human fatality rates”

If (and that’s likely) other features than Autopilot contribute to Teslas killing and injuring fewer people, we must compensate for them to judge whether Autopilot is a net benefit.
It's weird to me too. But articles says it's because the brain alternates activity in hemispheres. It switches activity to each hemisphere, possibly as it gets too cool.

>These marine mammals have evolved a half-brain style of sleeping, perhaps as a way to remain alert enough to avoid predators and drowning.

>Because part of the brain is always active, it’s always warm. As a result, it never triggers R.E.M. sleep.
FWIW, the common rebuttal scenario goes like this:

You and I earn $200k in wages, and each pay $100k in taxes. You spend your remaining $100k on a boat. I invest my $100k, and 5 years later it's worth $200k. Suppose that $100k gain is taxed like ordinary income at 50%. After taxes I have $150k, which I also spend on a boat.

Without taxes, you would have had $200k to consume in year 0, but you actually got $100k; your effective tax rate is 50%. Without taxes, I would have had $400k to consume in year 5, but I actually got $150k; my effective tax rate is 62.5%.

Who should pay the higher tax rate? The person who consumes their wage income immediately, or the one who defers consumption? For them to be equal, the capital gains tax rate has to be 0%.

This is a great idea.

You are confusing a whole bunch of things

(sorry, i can't edit my original response on mobile fast enough to correct a few errors. I think you took the wrong thing away from the "unrelated to the prior art" sentence).

1. This is not a court :)

In fact, the rejection is specifically not binding.

"(1) The objective of the international preliminary examination is to formulate a preliminary and non-binding opinion on the questions whether the claimed invention appears to be novel, to involve an inventive step (to be non-obvious), and to be industrially applicable."

2. As i said, they are saying claim 1 is not inventive, regardless of those references anyway. See 6.13.4

D1 is Jarek's original paper, a reference Google gave, not Jarek.

You are right that they have a long discussion of these emails, but then decide they don't matter anyway to claim 1 in 6.13.4. Perhaps you missed that. They even explicitly say that D5/D6 do not matter in practice. The rest is just random examiner prognostication.

You'll also see they are not cited in reference to any other claims.

Jarek (and the author's) claim was the emails are important and that he told them what they patented. As you can see, the preliminary ruling was in fact, that they are not really relevant or important to the patentability of the claim. In this case, they so far have explicitly decided it would be unpatentable regardless of whether he had ever sent the emails at all!

(The claim they are patenting ANS, i have no opinion on. I highlighted a fairly small portion of the article i believe is shoddy reporting, and i still believe that)
Regarding the rats: the study has an explanation for that too. It says the rats were woken up thousands of times a day, and they are catching up on the lack of sleep rather than lack of REM.

By being one of the first to stand up you are able to get your luggage faster (if any), skip a few rows down the aisle, get out the plane faster, and ultimately get to the immigration line before everyone else. When flying to the US from the UK I would notice that this could sometimes save 1 hour+.

The end goal is to get out of the airport as fast as possible, not just the plane. So the advantage is pretty significant.

You wouldn't be ahead because there is risk in investing. The biggest capital gain tax the less sense it makes to invest. That's why the capital gain tax rate is different than income tax. Making capital gain tax progressive is a recipe for not getting any more investment from private citizens.
There also needs to be a question of what is the purpose of the so called Autopliot. You have to sit there with full attention and your hands on the wheel. How is that better than just steering yourself.
My couch scientist theory is that REM sleep is phase when brains reconnects and tunes quantum links between neuron groups (assuming brain is big quantum computer underneath), that why there are chaotic movements.
What do you mean by tight?
Just so you know, there's half a dozen of equally plausible hypotheses about REM function, and dozens more of more fantastical. Most amusing one yet is about synthesis of molecular chaperones that guard against aggregation of chains produced during NREM. But honestly we just don't know.

Personally I agree with Marcus Schmidt and his idea of "energy allocation function of sleep". Basically it says that distinct physiological states provide viable configurations of priorities for vital functions that allow for the lowest possible energy expenditure over the whole cycle. I.e. there's no single specific function of REM sleep, it hosts all functions that are too costly to prioritize during other states, and the same is true for NREM.
> So my action item for Jarek is: ... Find a friend with a big bag of weed, and take a few days off.

It's not just condescending, it's simply offensive.
Some of that should be converted into lowering entropy (building neural structures etc) so I don’t think 100% escapes as heat.
The hypothesis seems a little unlikely. If REM sleep was to warm up the brain you might think people wouldn't do it in hot climates but I don't think that's the case.

Maybe it's more like the "Google’s DeepMind AI gives robots the ability to dream" stuff that increased their neural nets rate of learning 10x https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/240163-googles-deepmind-... and "Rats Dream About the Places They Want to Explore" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9791927 - about improved cognition.

Also the 'inceptionism' stuff looks so reminiscent of human dreams that it makes me suspect there is neural network stuff going on rather than heating. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9736598
Oh, it has plenty of predictive power, it's just not evenly distributed. When economists weigh in on contemporary politics, there are usually a lot of assumptions that doesn't quite make it into the soundbyte (and I don't want to pin this solely on the press, there are plenty of economists that are happy with this situation, as long as "their side" gets a boost). This, however, is the case for all members of the "political" sciences.

I was programming the Acorn Archimedes with its 32 bit CPU in 1988. Took a while for everyone else to get on board tho.

This is not true at all.
There was a brief discussion on an Acorn forum semi-recently about "If there had been another BBC Micro, what would it have looked like?"

And the consensus was, probably it would have looked like the Acorn Archimedes. Acorn really got it right, and they got it right shockingly early.
A public disclosure by a first inventor prevents a later inventor from receiving a patent on the same invention. Even if that publication happened only one day before you file your application and you had no chance to be influenced by it at all, you will not get a patent (or it will be held invalid).

Saying that first-to-file means a non-inventor can lawfully obtain a patent is also wrong. It seems to imply that a new, non-obvious invention can only be made by one person at a time. This is not true in competitive industries where many people are working to solve the same problems and will often come up with the same new solutions independently. First-to-file encourages them to apply for their patents early.

There is such a thing as "public domain" inventing, as you call it. It is simply done by (1) inventing, (2) publishing, and (3) not applying for a patent.
> Pointing out that they are bad is useless to everyone.

This is false.

Some people may not have given the matter consideration. When they don't they may accept the bad solution as normal, and "normal" often rightly or wrongly leads people to jump to the conclusion that the solution is proper. I've many times had to argue against something where the argument in favor was "we've always done it that way."

Pointing out that a solution is bad records challenges that can be met and satisfied in producing a new solution. But if no one notices, or those who do never say anything, then people will tend to assume it is normal and therefore proper.

After reading Fooled by Randomness, I tried to replicate Nassim Taleb's strategy of buying far OTM options in anticipation of a particular stock being outed as a fraud.

I made a killing when a certain blockchain company traded on NASDAQ was investigated by the SEC and soon faced delisting.

With those winnings, I went all in-purchasing near expiry far far far OTM put options, expecting imminent OTCBB quotes.

It took 2 months for it to happen and my put options expired worthless.

So what I learned is that I suck at trading and I should not gamble.

Tax consumption, land, pollution and using natural resources. Allow people to get some amount of consumption tax back every month to make the system progressive. Get rid of all income taxes. Make sure there is inflantion as a form of tax on stashed cash as well.

Consumption tax is much harder to gain than income taxes. Corporations pay in the country they sell to so that closed all tax heaven loopholes instantly. Making the system progressive is easy as well, just allow every citizen to bring receipts up to X$ per month to the taxman and get the money back. If you really want you can tax luxury items at higher rate as well.
