I hate to be all jaded about things, but this is the second story I've seen on this boy, and I feel like he falls under the "extraordinary claims require extraordinarily evidence" umbrella.

These are charcoal-based sketches, and for that style of art a majority of the artistry lies in image choice and finishing detail of the sketch (and a little bit in the presketch, though that's trainable if he's using a reference image.)

I would like to have better evidence that these parts weren't just done by an adult, because without it, this boy is arguably a once-in-generation genius, and that is an extraordinary claim.
Thank you! It seems you've done a lot of work to arrive where you are now. And it probably wasn't easy either. I see the world like this as well and it is great to read about like minded people!
Is this really true?

Look at The Simpsons, for example. No matter what anyone does in episode N, the world is reset at the start of episode N+1.
I don't think too much knowledge can be a problem, only applying the wrong algorithm to that data. I think the thing you're missing is that you can independently reduce the set of numbers of statues possibly seen by the other guy based on the number of passes and based on knowing the total and what you see. The first can be expanded gradually and it finally intersects at only one number by with the second set.
I quote that number because I saw a study about that. The worst was AWS (x10) and the cheapest was Google (x2).
I suspect you are misremembering.

Update: to be clear, absolutely there would have been people who thought they’d fall off the edge of the earth. There are always uneducated people, presumably large numbers in the 15th century.
Nothing to do with bread but...

Over the last couple of decades, this 10k-15k ybp period has gotten a lot more interesting. Especially to us romantics, who always want origins to be more ancient and mysterious. The Natufian Culture now has a lot of sites. Everything from proof of a predominantly hunter gatherer diet to a full scale sedentary city, 9,000 year old Jericho. We even know they particularly enjoyed eating cat, and may have domesticated them for food.

Even more remarkable is the progress in southeastern Turkey. Gobleki Tepeh is a find on such a scale that it challenges archeologists to re-narrate the neolithic revolution. Many think that it reverses the old narrative: Agriculture lead to caloric surpluses, permanent settlements, cities, organised religions, kings, advanced art, complex mythology... Maybe an organised religion crowned the first god-kings, designated specialised societal roles, built temples, then cities, and invented agriculture to support them.

Near Gobleki Tepeh is Catal Huyuk, a residential "city" archeologically and temporally similar Jericho. It appears to have been built after Gobleki Tepeh, a more "ritualistic" site. Perhaps archeologists should be looking for ancient temple sites, predating Jericho.

Perhaps the Egyptian pattern is to be expected. First, giant ritualistic projects are undertaken. Politics appears to be simple, the king is a god. People do what he says. Complexity comes later. Maybe this is normal. Maybe modes of production follow from modes of culture, to put it in 19th century terms.

Egypt's old kingdom were the the great builders. Out of "nowhere" they suddenly take on massive works, million man-year projects. The middle & new kingdoms were more advanced politically, agriculturally, economically & militarily. But, the scale of ritualistic sites declined. They still had great temples, and fine art keeps progressing. Literature proliferates. Law advances. But, the amount of labour dedicated to pure ritual seems to peak near the "beginning."

It is a fascinating period. The middle east definitely has its roots here. Keep up the good work archeologists. We appreciate it, us spectators.
>People love Wikipedia for what it is, not because it "grows exponentially".

That's because Wikipedia is not a social network. A social network is only worthwhile if it gains a critical mass of users such that there are enough friends on it (or sometimes, i.e. Twitter, enough interesting people on it) to make spending time there worthwhile. Massive growth is more important to the survival of a social network than to any other business model.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon_world_record_progress... indicates otherwise.

Well in a way. "Less" would be accurate than it might matter in contests of strength, but it's still hugely relevant. I think the older races may even be more informative since that would be more of contests of raw athleticism as opposed to the extreme diet/supplemental/developmental process that high level athletics is today.
Turkey is even further on. Though in their case the civil institutions that fought against it were weak to begin with.

Iexec did an ICO last year and recently launched. It’s a decentralized computing marketplace. Users can rent or rent spare compute cycles and dApps (https://dApps.iex.ec). It’s still quite early days so the number of users is small but decentralized cloud computing is one of the most obvious use cases for smart contracts.

Golem is also live. Their roadmap converges onto the same end goal as iExec but are starting out by focusing solely on graphics rendering.
I don't really care either way - it's a setting so you can use what you prefer.

You learn that she knows that you don't have 19 or 20 statues, and she learns that you know that, etc.
> We can make non-destructive 3-D scans of objects

Of their surfaces. What about the internal components?

The Mona Lisa is many things but it is not very thin or flat.

There are pigments and bindings involved that are sensitive to protein structure, as well; it's not just the count of atoms (and subatomic components; there are metals involved too, and isotope ratios are fingerprints), or even their relative position sensu stricto that matters.

I'm not sure how you could go about non-destructively determining (for example) potassium radioisotope differences in the original painting's layers between the optical surface and the canvas.

> state of the art in gravity wave detection ... black holes

We can detect gravitational waves of much closer much smaller systems just fine, and did so about 105 years before Poincaré proposed them formally. It was almost eighty years later that they were cast into the current perturbative formalism though.

The amplitude isn't really the critical factor with LIGO. It's sensitive to a particular frequency band (~ Hz - kHz) that is far from that of a small off-axis bump on a planet (~ microHz). It would totally pick up a set of deadlift weights spun around by a dental drill, if you could make that work in practice. (The amplitude difference between the sites would exclude it as an astronomical signal; the final inspiral of binary black holes and neutron stars have enormous amplitude, but that falls off linearly with distance, and they are very very far away, so the amplitude difference between sites is basically nil).

> track an 8kg object through a gravitational field

Given that one knows a number of things about the object including rough position and its surrounding environment (notably one wants to know its background metric exactly, or at least the exact model metric for Earth and some subleading-order non-Mona-Lisa contributions to perturbations thereof), it gets much easier. For a painting it's not something we could do today even if we had a spaceborne observatory sensitive to the relevant bits of Earth's GW spectrum, but it is plausible that we could observe the GWs shed by Olympus Mons with current technology, for example. (It'd be expensive to build).

We have good lunar masscon data so can watch the GWs shed by those as the moon relaxes into a more spherically symmetric shape; we have decent masscon data for Earth so can in principle with today's technology watch seismic events using gravitational wave Earth observation (as opposed to astronomy) (earthquakes make Earth rounder and spin faster, so the remaining masscons shed even more gravitational radiation).
Replying to myself, I think we can take this further.

I know she can see 6 or 8.
She knows I can see 10 or 12.
She knows that I know she can see 6, 8 or 10.

Given this information, we both know that the minimum number she can see that the other knows is 6. This allows us to both shortcut the process. We can both discard the first rounds that eliminate that she can see 2 or 4. The first round we need to play is the one where she can see 6.

So, in my first round, I'd give an answer if I could see 14. I don't give an answer, so she knows I don't see 14.
We both already knew that, but it was the first round we could agree on, so that's where we synchronize.

After that, you just play out the rounds as in the proposed solution.

Edit: doesn't work: if she had actually seen 6 rather than 8, she'd have known I'd see 12 or 14, so she'd know I knew she would see 4 , 6 or 8. So you can't synchronize on 6 after all.
> It there a performance boost to simply have more memory, even if some of it is Optane, or is it better to have a lower capacity without the Optane sticks?

I would imagine it depends entirely on whether your working set fits in main memory already. if yes, you're not gonna get much speedup from more memory. but if you have to keep swapping from a traditional SSD, it's gonna be hard for faster main memory to make up for that.
I assume that bearer shares fell out of favor for a number of the same reasons as bearer bonds. On the one hand, the average person doesn't really want to hold a lot of money in paper assets that they're responsible for the physical security of. On the other hand, governments don't like untraceable paper assets that can be used to transfer a lot of value because of money laundering etc.

Is this actually a well-defined altitude, or does it depend on the properties of the vehicle? (Certainly, the minimum speed to maintain level flight normally does.) The Karman line is near but distinct from the boundary between the thermosphere and the exosphere, which is well-defined: it's where atoms become so thin that their mean free path becomes so long they stop bouncing off each other and just follow parabolic trajectories under gravity.
Well, you can believe what you may, of course. But at least no one is dying from it...you can't say that about very many modern medicines, even Tylenol kills a lot of people.

Probably half of the world's peoples have had good effects from ginseng, whether that is "placebo" (as scientist and western doctors might say...) or based on chemical compounds that haven't been extracted yet (they are still extracting them from another plant medicine in use for over 5000 years called Cannabis...scientists have no idea about most of the 500 or so in that plant either), or based on some kind of spiritual element as is said about Ayahuasca and Peyote is really all besides the point. Ginseng has cured many people and kept many more from ever getting ill in the first place.

As mentioned in that entry "The following information is derived from the 1961 Encyclopædia Britannica and other sources, some with questionable accuracy." Like somebody else has mentioned, older life expectancy figures are pretty bad because it's difficult to pin down the exact age of mortality for skeletons beyond a certain point. And then there is also the question as to whether or not we're discovering representative samples.
They wouldn’t grow if they were just good enough, but they happen to be better at what they do and that’s why I use it.

Thats not what I said. I said some significant percent of cells (I remember as high as 10% from one paper, but usually its closer to 0.1%...) seem to have indels at any given locus. Either that or the methods used to measure this are too noisy to detect mutants that exist at those rates.

Indeed, they must have known that they could make bread out of wild grains before they even learned how to seed and harvest crops, otherwise, why would they have done in the first place?

Wild grain would probably grow in the same place year after year, and the tribe would go back to harvest it even though they did not plant it themselves intentionally or irrigated the soil.

I have fond memories of holding a printed out gentoo install manual and watching windows getting wiped from my box as a kid.

Then the terror of getting the modem to dial from a terminal, using lynx to get some browsing going so i could figure out how to get some GUI going on the thing.

Finally, getting Wine to run CS 1.6 so I could play at LAN parties with my buddies. They all thought I was a wizard because I was running this strange OS.

I genuinely believed that gentoo was going to give my machine super powers because all the software was "compiled and optimised for my machine." Maybe that was a little off the mark, but a great learning experience!

Now everyone has a smartphone, so it's hard to replicate that feeling of being cut off from the net with just a printed manual and your determination to carry you through. Good times!

I think that, yes, on her turn, she did know that I knew that she knew that I could not see 20.

Postulate 1: Total number of statues are 18 or 20

Lemma 1, she knows that I can either see 10 or 12 statues.
Proof: She saw 8 statues. Since the total is either 20 or 18, it
means that she knows I can either see 10 or 12 by Postulate 1

Lemma 2, suppose she saw 10 statues, she knows that I did not see 20.
Proof: Assume she saw 10 statues. Since the total is either 20 or
18, it means that she knows I can either see 8 or 10 by Postulate 1

Lemma 3, suppose she saw 6 statues, she knows that I did not see 20.
Proof: Assume she saw 6 statues. Since the total is either 20 or 18,
it means that she knows I can either see 14 or 12 by Postulate 1

Prop: She knows that I knew that she knew that I could not see 20.
Proof:
She knows I can see 10 or 12. (Lemma 1)
Lets consider the first case, from her viewpoint, that I have 10 statues.
If I saw 10 statues, then I know she can only have seen 8 or 10
statues, by Postulate 1
If she saw 8, then by Lemma 1, she knew I could not see 20.
If she saw 10 statues, then by Lemma 2, she also knew I could
not see 20.
Therefore, if I have 10 statues, I know that she knows that I
could not see 20.
Now for the second case, from her viewpoint, that I have 12 statues.
If I saw 12 statues, then I know she can only have seen 6 or 8
statues, by Postulate 1
If she saw 8, then by Lemma 1, she knew I could not see 20.
If she saw 6 statues, then by Lemma 3, she knows I could not see
20.
Therefore, if I have 12 statues, I know that she knows that I
could not see 20.
For all the cases she knows that I could have, I know that she knows
that I could not see 20.
Therefore she knows that I know that she knows that I could not see
20.

Joe Rogan. Really interesting point of views and opinions. Some like the guy, some hate him.
The answer to your question is, I believe, in the article that grandfather post linked to.

"What Platform Did It Run On? Intel did not answer this platform directly, however it was clear that the CPU was aimed at the LGA3647 server-based socket given from our examination of the demo system. It was unclear how Intel was going to promote this as an extreme workstation-type system, however Intel did note that they expect only a select market to be interested in this type of processor: a niche of a niche."
Can it still be solved if I generalize the question like this?

* Same setup: two prisoners A and B overlooking two distinct gardens with a constant nonnegative integer number of statues each.
* The guard asks A and B each day if there are more than N statues total.
* They can either guess or pass.
* Wrong guess is a life sentence for both, game over.
* Good guess and they are both out instantly.
* N is a nonnegative integer.
* N is the same each day.
* N is the same for both A and B.
* The question is posed each day to A first.
* They both know all rules of this game.
* A and B can't exchange information except indirectly by the fact that the other has passed in his turn and they get the question posed to them again.

So the same except generalizing [18 or 20?] to [more than N, in this case more than 18?].

The solution in the article doesn't seem to require the more specific question and the information derived from it ("the other guy must see either either 20 - X or 18 - X statues"), while this seems to confuse some solutions given here.

The guard asks whether there are at least N statues total. [For any integer N which in the linked case would be 19.]
