It takes time to get on top social network radar, but its impossible to get on three at the same time, without some sort of coordinated effort. In other words - it obvious that getting banned by FB, YT and Apple altogether within 24 hours IS coordinated; the only question: what massages are there networks trying to send ?

PS. I am not fan of Jones show, just like I am not fan of KKK that still existing in USA; but I do remember what Niemöller wrote.

Biochar would be suitable [1]. However, wood is probably not the best feedstock, due to its slow growth compared to other plants.

In short, it's significant progress in the OpenAI team's quest to build really effective self trained artificial intelligence. Conquest in a problem space like this has real world applications that could translate to things like extremely effective artificial limb dexterity (according to the talking points from the event).

Dota 2 was chosen because it's a nice combination of pre-determined rules (to an extent) and an extremely complex problem set of possible moves and actions. Dota's development team also was really supportive to this effort and they have an API that suits the Open AI team's purposes of interacting with the game really well. Great fit all around.

Dota 2, especially when played 5v5, is orders of magnitude more complex than in terms of possible decisions and moves than Go.
Any pointers on why is this that?

It says "currently only offered as direct download", does that mean that it'll be available as an update later on?
Yup. I've got Android P on my Essential PH-1 right now. I'm bummed I don't have the wellbeing features that were promised.

There was a recent interview with Senator Ron Wyden where he lamented that tech companies are unwilling to use their legal freedom to police their platforms:

"""Let’s go all the way back to 1996 and talk about Section 230. I think historians are completely in agreement that this is the law that made the internet what it is today.

We thought it was going to be helpful. We never realized it was going to be the linchpin to generating investment in social media. We envisioned that the law would be both a sword and a shield. A shield so that you could have this opportunity, for particularly small and enterprising operations to secure capital, and then a sword [by allowing them to moderate without facing liability over the practice], which said you’ve got to police your platforms. And what was clear during the 2016 election and the succeeding events surrounding Facebook, is that technology companies used one part of what we envisioned, the shield, but really sat on their hands with respect to the sword, and wouldn’t police their platforms."""

https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/24/17606974/oregon-senator-r...

I think that what's happened here is a normalization of deviance. Moderation action that should have been taken a long time ago has now been delayed so long it will be painful. Instead of setting strong expectations about what is and isn't okay up front (like say, Hacker News); these companies have gotten lax and will now pay a hefty price to use the sword.
I doubt they are concerned.
The big three tech companies need to be broken up. Too much power in the hands of a few. Don't like what your opponents are saying? Label them "hate speech", close down their networks & move on. You can't be heard if you don't have a voice.

They (the big three) should not be allowed to own our internet interactions anymore than the phone company could listen to and profit from our conversations or regulate what we talk about.

I can't say I have any problem with this particular move, but man, you can't just assert that as if that's an obvious fact.
Of course the real answer is "it depends".

I like golang and am very interested in TypeScript. Depends on your RAM/Multicore needs.
Falling PC Shipment. Notebook transition to SSD. The move to cloud computing, where Cloud providers chooses higher capacity unit rather then slightly cheaper price per GB model. Obviously the TCO flavours the former on power and space usage.
Well, thanks, but as I thought, its not that easy. First one is by CF themselves, no source :) Second is not used and not working. And nothing for Safari.
Manchester Airport renamed to "Manchester-Boston Regional Airport" so travel agents/websites would list them when people were traveling to Boston. Back when Logan Airport was really bad, you could plausibly arrive at MHT and drive to Boston faster than flying in to BOS and waiting for your luggage.
r0 was 0 only for addi/ addis and as rA=0 in EA calc for load/store, so you got 32 registers to store things into. The assembler should have implemented the simplified mnemonics.

addis/addi was the suggested way to load a 32-but value in the Compiler Writer's Guide to take advantage of some mythical 3-input adder hardware, but was there ever an implementation that actual had one and a fetch/issue that supported it? Not in 603/604 afaict.

ETA: [stuff about mtcr serialization which I misremembered.] The early stuff had low penalty branch mispredicts, so you would just do andi. or cmpi and however many branches.

SPR numbering included non-problem state (privileged) registers. That's why it's sparse looking from user space.
We are fully capable of designing them. Good luck getting consumers to use them. Particularly using decentralized at every step of the process, in a way that people use Google or Facebook as a one-stop-shop for getting everything done.

If a decentralized solution is not easy to pick up, and does not offer clear everyday benefits to users over existing centralized solutions, then it will not win with users. (Just "better privacy" is not really a good everyday benefit for the average person; compare DDG usage to Google.)

I work on OpenBazaar. It has grown significantly over the past couple years.

I'm mobile and don't have the stats in front of me but I do know that the network has been used by more than 55k people since last November when the 2.0 version launched.

It's now built on IPFS so nodes are still accessible even when the store is offline.

OpenBazaar.com launched as a read-only way to browse the network.

A mobile version is nearing completion now.

Check out OpenBazaar.org and download the new version, we're proud of how far it has come.
Maybe reading can be made fast(er); a very compact ROM can be pretty useful. Much more compact than a bluray disc, for instance.
It's a meaningless question. "Uber drivers" isn't well defined. How much do most Uber drivers earn? What are their living situations? Do they have multiple jobs? How many hours do Uber drivers work?

A better question would be: "do you think an Uber driver who (a) lives alone (b) in a two bedroom apartment (c) in the heart of San Francisco and (d) works 20 hours per week will be able to save $5500/year?" The answer is no. But there is a lot more to the problem than just "Uber driver".

Probably too late to this thread, but anyway - the key to understanding agile tomfoolery is that processes are most effective if they evolve to meet the needs of the people in the team.

A process will always feel like a burden (and be less effective for it) unless it is co-created by the people right in the middle of it. Most people like doing a good job if they're permitted to, and like supporting their colleagues if it doesn't prevent them doing a good job. Few people want to make their colleagues' job harder or get in fights - much of this is friction caused by bad processes.

Given a chance to talk over problems faced by each team-member and to discover fair solutions, a team that dislikes agile may themselves choose to adopt parts of agile if it is obvious that it solves real problems and makes the team more effective.

The difference between a pointless, painful, morale-destroying standup and a fun, useful, team-building standup is that one is imposed from outside and the other naturally arises from a team allowed to figure out for themselves how best to work together.

DotA is substantially different compared to Go in the following main senses:

1) In Go, you are allowed to see the entire board and pieces at all times -- it is a complete information game. On the other hand, games like DotA have partial information because you are not able to see where your opponents are and what they are doing at all times.

2) Go, Chess and many of the Atari games are single player games. OpenAI wanted to see if machine learning can be applied in a multiplayer setting where the problem needs to be solved at a global / team level.

3) DotA has so many mechanics and strategies where you have a lot of choices to be made. One of the challenges is whether one can look at the overall outcome of the game and reason about what particular choices went into the winning or losing of the game. This (long event horizon) makes it extremely difficult to learn such models.

OpenAI interfaced with a complicated game like DotA through an API provided by Valve which made it lot easier. Instead of seeing the game screen, they got snapshots of data of around 35KB per observation (co-ordinates of heroes, creeps etc). In the absence of this API, they would have had to use substantially more computational resources to render the in game graphics and this would also make the training process extremely slow.

This benchmark was an experiment that demonstrated that tackling such a class of problems is indeed possible (given a lot of computational resources and an environment to train in). During the interviews in between and after the games, they mentioned that the algorithms that they have used can have many applications in all fields a̶l̶t̶h̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ ̶s̶p̶e̶c̶i̶f̶i̶c̶ ̶e̶x̶a̶m̶p̶l̶e̶s̶ ̶w̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶v̶i̶d̶e̶d̶ @crsv's comment describes the example they talked about.

Perhaps an ELI15, but hope this helps.
This is an orthogonal concern. The only one of those necessary for US CC processing is Zip code, and only some of the time, which the CC processor will tell you when and you could handle as call-and-response. The other stuff can also be dropped from most CC-processing stores, they just don't want to because they like having that information just incase they need to ship something, or definitely in case they get marketing ideas to send you.
You've either missed the obvious or willfully ignored the fact that to use crytpo, you must first have it. This is what makes it untenable for the majority of people.
Off the tangent question here -- Do you have any plans to pit OpenAI Five against the winners of this year's 'The International 8' tournament scheduled for later this month?

Folks in the DotA 2 community are going crazy over this possibility, would be incredible if this happens.
>is an odd conclusion to draw, since the agent primarily responsible for the inability for providers to provide transparent prices to privately insured patients is, ironically, Medicare.

I'm not sure how you can be so certain that is the 1st order reason. The pricing situation seems to often be obfuscated by our private insurance companies as well. When people have different insurance plans, with different back room deals on rates, and different customer out of pocket rules, or none at all, how is the doctor to know what your price is going to be? How does erasing medicare from the equation fix that?
Not sure if you're serious--he hates on anybody that is considered "liberal" or "left" by his side. Hillary Clinton (especially), George Soros, the "Deep State," bankers, reptilians, "SJW's," Democrats, and so on. It's literal fear mongering.
It's purpose has always been to be a globally competitive commercial launch provider. A purpose they excelled at for decades. While it's purpose is now shrinking to being Europe's government launcher it should be noted that this is an event that is happening, not merely a continuation of the status quo.
Most people can accurately trace a line drawing, but can't accurately copy it by eye. Try it for yourself and you should see that your manual dexterity isn't a meaningful bottleneck in your ability to draw.

Drafting tools might well be a crutch, but they were considered essential in the days when engineering drawings and technical illustrations were routinely done by hand. If you need to use a spline to draw smooth curves or construction lines to draw perspective, so what?
Privacy settings don't make any difference to what FB can see on your account, only other people (that don't have special access from Facebook)
I would love to know why the third match turned sour. I suspect (as an amateur with no ML background) that that matchup was under-trained.

Like I could imagine OpenAI getting stuck in a subset of the draft pool for which it trained against, like maybe the top 10 of 18 champs. And then picking outside of that meta causes it to fall back on much less robust training/strategy.
That doesn't leave much left to eat and cover up from the rain with.
I'm a bit unsure about the fact that Wireguard has no negotiation capabilities whatsoever. On the one hand this feature makes the configuration of tunnels dead simple as opposed to e.g. IPSec but on the other hand it also means that all participating systems are extremely tightly coupled. If one system updates to a kernel that contains a Wireguard version with crypto changes then all peers have to update their Wireguard versions at the exact same time or the tunnels break.
This is easy if you have point-to-point tunnels where you control both ends of the connection but could potentially be a nightmare for tunnels to other companies or road-warrior setups.
I fear that in these cases many will be forced to stick with IPSec due to these constraints.
Good. They should ban more people. They should ban whoever they feel like banning, for whatever reason or give no reason at all. They already ban you instantly if you show a nipple.

We should stop pretending like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter et al. are some kind of public good or utility. They are private message boards. Message boards which already decide what you see by showing you an endless stream of content designed to optimize ad revenue.
In comparison to what?
Except developers being able to properly support their apps around it? OEMs have decided to add notches, want it or not.
Not having a API to work with them would be a huge pain.
Inequality is largely the result of the economies of scale, and peoples reluctance/ignorance towards the stock market and investing in general. I don't see how the situation is gonna change.
I believe most of the preconception against Samsung-branded Android OS is based on their experience with older (pre S6) devices. I wholeheartedly agree they were bad at it back then (esp. the bloatware that poorly replicated the functionality of various stock apps), but they've since gotten significantly better with their UX.
Like most things, trends in those states can juice the absolute numbers enough to move the entire country statistically.
It's now an application navigation function and not an OS navigation function. So in screenshots demonstrating core OS functions it's absent but in screenshots demonstrating Apps it's present.

I believe what is meant by the statement is only content producers can add external links to content they produce.

I am unable to take any content and add additional annotation for others to utilize. There appear to be other projects that try to introduce this functionality though such as hypothes.is [0].

It looks like the author is proposing an overlay system that can be applied to a variety of content types. Users can then apply different overlays that are geared towards different topics / audiences. Basically a swappable reference section.

I don't think that quote applies to the people Jones represents. The quote is about quite literally the very same people Jones' supporters are pursuing. "Jews will not replace us" and "Blood and Soil" are literally Nazi slogans.

I don't think Niemöller was worried about the persecution of Nazis...
At Netflix, the milestone we celebrated was subscriber numbers, since that is what drove the business. Someone once asked our CEO why we didn't have a holiday party, and he said in effect that he'd rather celebrate important business milestones, and not a day on the calendar.

It's interesting to me that Mr. Cook is downplaying this, but it makes some sense, since the price of the stock (and therefore the valuation) is only loosely tied to the success of the company.

It seems like the CEOs who really know what they are doing choose their celebrations carefully.

A good lesson to learn here.
Also keep your eyes peeled for an old one. No 8 is a good size. Rust is fine (easy to get rid of). A good old one will be smoother and lighter than a new Lodge. $30 is a reasonable price.

Still, you can't just go to the store and pick one up. I give new ones that I smooth out and season as short notice gifts.

Boston long had and still has many computer industry companies outside the city, especially in the Western suburbs. Maybe 25 years or so ago, there was essentially no tech of note within the city limits. It was mostly along Toute 128 and 495.

I'd rather have an economy where healthcare, housing, and education are so affordable that anyone with a high school diploma or better that is willing to work can afford to cover a family of 4 with money left over for entertainment and savings.

We know this is possible, because the USA used to have it in living memory.
I can't be the only one getting a chill down my spine when I read this. Google, a company "committed to reach and engage the right users safely and cost-effectively around the world", doing deep analysis of my every input and my context in order to "drive engagement" and "surfacing the best parts of the apps [I] use all the time"?

I hope this stuff is kept out of AOSP. Yes, I know it seems like at least some of the computation happens on-device, but I am not comfortable having it done on a device out of my full control regardless.
Counter counter argument: do we make them watch equally graphic recreations of what happened in Nanking? Based on the American morals I'm use to seeing in others (granted these may not apply to people not in the US), any notion of letting a child see the horrors of war is immediately destroyed once you introduce certain forms of violence.
