People make mistakes.

Making a mistake doesn't relieve one of legal protection from trespass (physical or digital).
Totally agree, but physical labor causes permanent damage. I would rather cut my expenses and make less doing easier work, but that's just me. Furthermore, the world needs physical work until robots replace us all!
Cars displaced those for a reason. Especially busses.
> It'll likely be the same for high-speed rail, hyperloops, and under-city tunnels.

Please don't make the mistake of equating the hyperloop scheme with reputable and tried-and-true railway services. Hyperloop is at best a marketing gimmick based on naive and ill-informed notions of what it takes to run a vehicle in a track, while real railway services are mundane technologies which have been proven to work for at least half a century.

I wonder if AI self-play has any implications for e-sports balance. Could balancing be aided, or at least improved, by ultra-strong AI players, reducing the chance of broken mechanics making it to live?
From a technical perspective, I understand what you mean. But from a user perspective, 'except for files' is a pretty big caveat. Files are the main thing I drag and drop!

- During WWI it peaked at 77%
- During WWII it peaked at 94%!!
I have always felt that these sorts of issues were behind the simple elegance of Google (another prodigious power user) creating a wholly owned subsidiary that was a registered power company. Sure it started as an argument between a local power company's onerous demands, but as a result Google just pays the inter-power company transfer rate, and the agreements are all private between power companies and not between a company and a "retail" user.
I'm also very excited about what these bots can tell us about DOTA but I think a certain degree of skepticism is necessary due to the bots not actually having been trained truly tabula rasa. The training contained lots of little "nudges" to reward the bots for things that lead to winning. I.e. there are nudges to get them to go to lane to start, there are nudges to get them to buy the right items. I don't know for sure but I wouldn't be surprised if they kill the ranged barracks first because there's a built in reward for killing barracks that's the same for both melee and ranged barracks but the ranged ones have less health so they value that a little bit higher since it's a more consistent reward than trying to get the melee one. I hope that someday they get to a point where they can truly train from scratch with no human nudges, I'm not sure how much more impressive of an ML result that would be (I'd imagine meaningfully so but I'm not an AI researcher) but it would certainly be a much more interesting result in terms of our understanding of DOTA.
>expensive social welfare programmes targeted at the poor, funded by oil revenues.

If they'd stuck with that things could have gone ok. There was way more disfunction and crackpot economics.
SF restaurants now add a healthcare surcharge which ranges from 3-10% (mandatory), then expect a 20% tip on top of that.

Pretty ridiculous, I've started subtracting the healthcare surcharge out of what I would normally tip since it seem to vary widely.
And tax deductions were much higher then than now. Nobody actually paid those rates.

The percentage of GDP collected as income taxes is about the same then as it is now. In fact, the top 1% paid less of the total taxes during the New Deal than now.[1]

It doesn't though, because people are often short term emotional thinkers. Hype/FUD driven decisions cause short term volatility.
I'd agree that as you get used to it, it does definitely feel as a step forward.
If your plan to change something is "everyone will start doing something" without anything being done to organize that coordination, then your plan has failed before it starts.

That gets back to my original point. The spectrum analyzer went into the gigahertz range. I don't think it was delta sigma. It was some multiple sample thing that only worked in the frequency domain.
It's everyone's fault. The upstream, the maintainer, and the users. The first person who becomes aware of an issue should take steps to resolve it. By distributing this along everyone you make sure that there's enough hands to do the work and people can specialize in supporting the packages they want to work on. Maintaining a package is not hard.

This isn't some hypothetical, for the record. I'm explaining how this actually works in practice.
Thank you

The full-disclosure mailing list has been around 20 years and has no problem garnering attention. Sending an anonymous email in that direct with no way to track back isn’t particularly difficult.
By any metric it's a ghost town. But I think that has a lot to do with poor UX, low liquidity, etc., all of which could change as it improves. For example, you currently have to download an app to interact with Augur. There's also very few contracts, each with very little liquidity.
They're using deep learning as fancy Anti-Aliasing mechanism, to fill gaps which GPU didn't have time to properly raytrace or to upscale parts of images. As I understood from what I seen ML there mostly for AA.

Does the OpenAI team think there's a way to adapt the UX of DOTA 2 "Perfect Information Edition" to communicate the game better to human players?
The types of problems described in the article related to near-constant cannabis use:

> Users or former users I spoke with described lost jobs, lost marriages, lost houses, lost money, lost time. Foreclosures and divorces. Weight gain and mental-health problems. And one other thing: the problem of convincing other people that what they were experiencing was real. A few mentioned jokes about Doritos, and comments implying that the real issue was that they were lazy stoners.

With users themselves describing problems that result from smoking marijuana like impaired concentration, short-term memory, motivation, and neglecting responsibilities. These are serious pit falls of failing to moderate. But I also feel that legalizing marijuana is a better alternative than putting users in jail. Incarceration seems like it would cause a lot of the problems described by marijuana users (lost jobs, lost marriages, lost houses, lost money, lost time).
Here's how a VR enthusiast should think about this news. Make an estimate for when 90Hz 1440P VR can be supported by the average laptop. I think that would be a good benchmark for the time a year before the widespread adoption of VR/AR by the general public.
I lived in Europe for a long time too. Trains are not a complete solution but they do solve a lot of the problems and are underused in the US.
Hmm, 24%-42% performance increase (14/16TFlops vs 11.3TFlops) for 70-90% price increase... And prices were already inflated by crypto that is now collapsing. Not sure who is the target market for this tech honestly. Still only 11GB RAM, even if 50% faster, making it a nonsense purchase for Deep Learning enthusiasts (state-of-art models are already larger).

Unless somebody invented RTX-based coin of course, then this is the minimal price...
It’s incredible to me how many comments here citing this sort of thing as common practice are made with the implication that we should be less upset because it’s just how business works, rather than more upset because these injustices are so widespread.
It's not like this isn't a problem for GitHub, either. Pull requests go ignored, too.

Higher friction => higher quality contributions.
I get that the article is supposed to be a counter-point to the rapid legalization, but you are absolutely right.

Being almost impossible to overdose on means they can't use scary death statistics, and it might be too early to have any meaningful studies done on productivity/motivation/etc. That being said, this article is really as useful as your anti-cannabis family member at Thanksgiving telling you stories about the consequences of cannabis.

> It was built when the top marginal tax rate in the United States was above 70 percent, a level which would make a lot of people go into fits of apoplectic rage if you were to suggest it now.

...a rate which almost nobody actually paid, given the copious methods for reducing tax liability available at the time (most of which have since been eliminated).
They do a pretty good job of getting you very close in London and NYC. Longer distance trains get you between cities much faster than in a car. They don't solve everything but they are definitely underutilized as a solution in the US.

We could put effort into making them better but it's not as sexy.
Why is 2 a problem? I'd love to use Augur, but the liquidity is low. If the Augur team wants to seed it with liquidity and good bets, I'm game to take the other side. This is also how many startups start out -- for example, the Reddit cofounders faked a lot of usage and self-submitted posts in order to get early traction.

The thing is, OpenAI are terrible at the game. If they try to coach too much, they'll ruin their chances at beating the top Dota team. They have to let the bot discover its own winning strategies.

For example: There are an infinite number of places to place a ward. One way to train the bot is to preselect all possible ward locations, reducing it to 30 or so common ones. Another way is to make an optimization algorithm where the bot focuses on trying to maximize the "strategic vision" (if it's possible to come up with a measure for "strategic") and then let the bot place wards wherever it wants. After hundreds of years of self-play, it should figure out the best place and times.

As I write this out, I think you're probably right. There are too many aspects of the game for a purely-random algorithm to be effective... E.g. item builds. But I'm holding out hope that's just because they haven't figured out a good way to encode all dota items into a distance measure.

AI has proven over and over that humans aren't so special. And humans know how to adapt to the game.

That said, I wish OpenAI would be completely transparent as to what's emergent behavior and what's not. :)

Oh, one last interesting thing: Icefrog is going to roll out a big patch after this TI, just like he always does. I wonder how much of the bots' knowledge will transfer over? Or if they'd be better off training from a clean slate?

There is a much larger global prediction market that comes with its own set of nuances and quirks, and that of course is the stock market. You can even get involved with no fee at all through Robinhood, but you will have to fill out some annoying and potentially costly IRS forms.

If I could paraphrase Charlie Munger, in the stock market, the only people who are successful long term are those who bet massive sums, very rarely, when they are sure that the price of a security is severely and unproperly valued.

If Tesla is currently trading at $355, and you have evidence for yourself that it should be worth something like $0 or $3,000, then this would be an example of the current market prediction being extremely wrong.

A stock's price is really just a prediction of the company's future cash flow in the event of profits, losses, sale of assets, so on.
Sure seems like it would. A big part of DOTA balance these days is Icefrog (DOTA's BDFL) talking to pro players and about the meta-game and observing pro play to figure out what should change. Having pro-level AIs that you could just set lose to play 100,000 games and then come back to you with statistics about the current patch would probably help a lot.

I think it would also raise the level of play that we see from pros. That's what happened with chess bots when they got good enough to be the best human players.

The Augur Foundation will never do that because it would put them in immense legal jeopardy from the SEC/CFTC, and at no point in Augur's growth would that make sense: when Augur is small, the gain from wash trading is much smaller than the potential fines (Intrade was fined $3m this year alone, and it doesn't even operate any more), and when it's large, it's unnecessary.
That sounds more like a cost of bigotry and intolerance.

For those seeking the anti-anxiety benefits of a daily dose of high grade medicinal cannabis without the cognitive impairment associated with THC (notably impairment of short term memory, which is crucial for maintaining flow state while doing complex tasks like coding or chess) - may I recommend looking into high CBD, low THC flower.

You want THC <1% and CBD > 10%. I recently switched over to a high CBD strain and it has been a godsend for productivity. Another nice benefit of minimizing daily THC intake is I have started dreaming and remembering dreams again. THC tends to suppress dreaming activity.

In the Bay Area, you can find high CBD flower at most reputable dispensaries. I’ve tried a few products and the best one by far I’ve experienced is a strain called C3P0, sold under the Marley Naturals Red/Jellyfish brand.

(Shameless plug notwithstanding, I’m not affiliated with that brand in any way, just a very happy customer wanting to share a quality product with others who might appreciate it)

Still anecdotal, but I’ve personally done roofing (for a portion of a summer) and worked in a warehouse (for a year and a half including 2 full summers). Roofing was worse, but not by that wide of a margin - just in terms of physical exhaustion, the warehouse work I did was much closer to roofing than to, say, retail or food service.

Then again, while the warehouse I worked in had much less stringent metrics than Amazon’s, there were other factors that may have made it worse overall.
Agreed on that point. I am under the impression that the "well proven" part was under serious consideration now. But it should not be due to this study. Which should not be used to inform either side of the debate.
Because there aren't any jobs.

And quite frankly, I honestly do not care if there are other jobs or not. That kind of treatment is completely unacceptable, and there is zero legitimate reason for Amazon to treat them that way.
I think what you're encountering is that most broad areas of law immediately break down into specific definitions and lists of rights.

Examine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiralty_law and see that in the opening summary the article similarly resorts to naming "marine commerce, marine navigation, salvage, maritime pollution, seafarers’ rights, and the carriage by sea of both passengers and goods" while distinguishing it from the Law of the Sea -- which is again immediately defined-by-list: "navigational rights, mineral rights, jurisdiction over coastal waters, and the maritime relationships between nations."

Sadly, no, "most people" don't feel differently about these rights. In fact, most people cannot even differentiate one from another. This is certainly made no better by the growing use of the umbrella term, but is not caused by it. Search any online art site and find thousands of artists disclaiming "<character> is copyright <entity>", when in fact the only copyright in question is held by the author himself on the drawing he just drew. The artist intends to forswear the trademark, but cannot or at least does not distinguish these legal ideas.

EDIT:

Removed further arguments, because in actuality I agree with you (and this article). My original reaction was a kneejerk to your admittedly overstated claim of nonexistence.

I too am concerned that greed-motivated lobbyists deliberately distort issues to strengthen intellectual property laws against the public interest. Your linked wikipedia section quotes Stallman and Lessig, as well as economists who would prefer the more descriptive term "intellectual monopoly", all objecting to to property's false implication of scarcity.

Betfair was bought by the bookmaker Paddy Power.
Betfair has both an exchange and sportsbook components.
The former is where you bet against other punters and the latter is where you bet against the company.
The site seems to steer you by default towards the latter.
If you show even minimal profitability on a sportsbook and you'll typically be restricted.
Does the sportsbook get first pick on odds on the exchange to lay off liabilities?
Do they monitor canny punters on the exchange and take positions accordingly?
Are there even chinese walls between the two parts of Betfair and between that and Paddy Power bookmakers.
Is this well regulated?
Paddy Power are a pretty slick operation but I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them.
The unintended consequence of the onerous FDA approval process is that only a few extremely large players have the resources to develop and bring new drugs to the market. Therefore they need to make a lot of money back to cover their costs.

On the other hand, in earlier times we had a lot of drugs that were in the "snake oil" category, making a lot of claims but doing nothing at all (or that were actually harmful).
