There are limitations they put on the AI to try ti restrict to human levels. Such as having an action counter. And in the demonstration they filmed today, they actually limited the information the AI knows about to the screen space, which is probably along the lines of what you were wanting.
The live exhibition match definitely made Alphastar look like a machine making the decisions, not a super smart being. The micro was obviously impressive but that should also be the easiest part to master. I share the sentiment that DeepMind is hosting big events to paint a very one-sided picture of man vs machine, so this last win of mana feels oddly satisfying.
But it is substantially more fun!

Your other remarks here suggest you are Catholic and saved yourself for marriage. If you have only ever had one sex partner and have only ever had sex without birth control, then you seem rather unqualified to make a comparative statement of this sort.
Different agents for now, and 1 of the 6 possible matchups and just on one map (starcraft usually is played on multiple different maps/boards with different layouts over the course of a series). Given that this was just a demonstration match it's reasonable restrictions and they surely will lift them one by one (just like they removed the zoomed out vision in the final, live-played match). I'm really impressed with their performance, and even if my brother was just playing offrace I didn't expect him to lose.
CockroachDB's Consistency Model
>If there were a unionization effort that focused on 1) a hard 40-50 hour cap on work hours (or with paid overtime) and 2) enforced profit sharing plans, I could support it.

>The current main unionization effort basically says "things will be better for everyone" on their FAQ. Total bullshit.

What is your familiarity with how a union works? An industry-wide unionization effort cannot effectively state what the future will hold.

When employees decide to try to organize a union within their company, they decide what the issues are. Their task is to convince their coworkers to join the union, so they will be focusing on the pain points unique to their own employment situation. Maybe in one company, it's crunch time, while in another, it's keeping a more consistent labor force despite project sizes changing wildly over time.

The new union will then negotiate a contract on behalf of its members. Each new union will be focusing on different things.

An industry-wide organizational effort that focuses on work hours and profit sharing would not catch the interest employees at a shop with good hours, good pay, but zero job protections and inadequate health coverage (for example).
I live in Michigan and I hate the bottle deposits. I would strongly prefer just putting bottles in recycling. Bottle deposit machines break down frequently, the machines fill up, they only take cans sold at the store you bought them from, that part of the store smells bad and is dirty and sticky, and the cans take up a non-trivial amount of space in your home.
All employees are equal, but some employees are more equal than others.
I thought `npm ci` is more suited for ci machines, where it's crucial that packages are pinned to specific versions. For local development, I just npm install. Perhaps with no-save option in order to avoid updating package-lock. Works fine.
I thought they said 350ms.

No, modern GPUs run many of the same instructions as CPUs. They have branches and everything. Their main limitation is that groups of threads are bundled together (called warps) and share a program counter, so lots of branching can result in a lot of wasted work if the threads disagree on which branch to take. That, and there's a huge penalty you pay for moving data across the bus to GPU RAM.
Well, speaking as a marketer, I'd beg to ask what you're selling me if you're unable to show me what I'm getting for my ad spend. If I'm worrying about branding for a large company, then yeah, perhaps I'd happily pay for billboard ads, TV ads, radio ads, or some placement on a high traffic website. More realistically I'm working with an SMB and when they pay a few thousands on ads they want to know their ROI so they can decide if it's moving the needle or not.

Also, PPC and PPA are what SMBs prefer to buy. PPV only holds its ground when used for brand recognition purposes, with the caveat that it's hilariously easy for fraudulent publishers to stack ads on top of each other and get away with it.
Research on the effectiveness of open-floor plans
The AI makes some awful decisions, such as building five observers. This calls into question its "understanding" of the game. It looks like a lot of its ability comes from micro, which it's unsurprising a computer can do better than a human.

This is impressive, but with a lot of caveats. DeepMind's work on chess and go was impressive with no caveats whatsoever.
There’s a community version.
What makes you think this would be easier to parallelize than a traditional application? Just because there is only one kind of instruction used doesn't mean they don't still have to come in the right order!
Random inside joke I overheard about ten years ago:

"It's called BigTable, not FastTable or AvailableTable!"

...It's probably a bad idea to evaluate 2019's BigTable based on the joke, but my puerile mind still find it amusing. :)
This is exactly what Bootstrap does and why most Bootstrap-built sites end up looking very similar. If all you're after is functionality, that's easy enough to achieve, but you're going to need designers at some point if you want to differentiate yourself visually.
There's a rock-paper-scissors like aspect to StarCraft openings where you essentially have to randomize your strategy so that the other player can't blindly counter what you're doing. I assume each of their agents learns one particular strategy; in that case, they could simply create a "meta-agent" that acts like one of their trained agents at random (probably using some weighted distribution).
> So even with a history of Silicon Valley playing tricks to suppress what developers get paid[1], the typical HN reader is humdrum about salary because it's "better than average?" I have a hard time believing that.

Yes, because the "pay suppression's" effect was to knock people making six-figure salaries down to six-figure salaries, on average. It actually had very little observable negative effect.

(Note that if you go back to the original lawsuits, they were regarding gentlemen's agreements around headhunting. Given that SV's default attitude is "individuals are responsible for themselves," an agreement against headhunting isn't interesting---if an employee is dissatisfied, they know where the competition is and who to talk to about changing companies. If anything, there's a weak positive to an anti-headhunting agreement for employees at the companies in question: it was one fewer recruiter squads pumping spam into an employee's inbox).
This is very much a college by college thing.

Where I did my CS degree, any student in the major was always going to be able to get their core courses on a proper schedule that allowed for on-time graduation. Sometimes that meant the college would add entire extra courses if there were more people needing something than expected.

Did I get every elective (not all electives were taught every semester, some were only taught once every year or two, there was a large rotating selection - You had to take a few from different areas) that I was interested in? No, but I got most of them.

However, if you were a non-major looking to take some CS classes (beyond an intro one specifically intended for non-majors), you would have a tough time getting in. You were only allowed to register for those after all the students majoring in CS registered.
Statistically speaking 4000 is a good enough number. I mean, election polls in the US usually use less than that for a population of 300 million and they're usually close to the real number.
Its 80 years of propaganda that makes people think like this. It is to be expected, since many of these beliefs are from emotion, and not from cold business logic.

The cold business logic says to consolidate and make partnerships/business unions.
MSSQL currently does not have horizontal sharding capabilities like this, or easy UPSERT functionality.
Basically, you're going to try to emulate other instructions that you don't have with this one instruction, and that's not going to perform very well because now, instead of many optimized instructions, you have strings of this one instruction in its place. And I don't see any way to parallelize this: you're doing the same thing you always were, just with a bunch more code.
I'm not missing the value we just have a different idea of what that value is, but anyway, this is a different, more specific topic than the one I originally brought up and one that I don't feel like engaging in.

You're making it far more complicated than it should be.

Why do you care how many people saw the ad? What you care about is results. If you run an ad and accrue benefits of $50,000, you are happy if the ad campaign cost less than that.
Why would it make sense to use a single instruction?

(Also no, GPUs are not the same at all)

>Of course individuals shaped the planet long before corporations existed, but once people could organize and compete, individual farmers lost control.. right?

They didn't "lose control"; we discovered that, if we specialize, we can get more done and increase our standard of living. It's not all just farming either. You can see city lights from space. We have sculpted mountainsides. If I'm forced to go back to your angle, none of those things are possible with division of labor and a healthy economy.

>These days, farmers are beholden to governments, banks, and agro companies, who use economical pressure to force specific behavior and crops. How much control do modern farmers really have over their farm?

You're going off on some socioeconomic tangent when the discussion here is simply "which organism is most dominant." I don't see how anything you're saying is relevant.

>humanity may technically be thriving, but most people are just trying to make ends meet.

As they have been for all existence. The difference is that these days it's much easier than it used to be. For everyone.

>I haven't spent much time on that subreddit, but it sounds like I would feel at home there!

Ugh, enjoy.
So what is actually happening when I hit search? Have google ever shared the high level process?
This is pure speculation, but I'd imagine they would increase game quality too. Many AAA games are heavily marketed but lacking in depth and features; it would make sense that if game designers had more power in the organizations they work for, they might be able to push back against unrealistic publisher-driven deadlines which lessen game quality.
They can still charge a premium over any other phone manufacturer, and they sell at the about the same volume. They have a lock in that seems likely to protect that premium for the foreseeable future. As long as they can charge a premium they get a nice profit margin.
In his lecture series on Bach, Robert Greenberg discusses temperament quite a bit and I found it fascinating. He relays all these descriptions that Bach had of different keys that are basically lost on us now as we cannot refer to the specific tunings he utilized (and thus cannot hear a lot of the music he wrote as he wrote it).

He also makes the claim that equal temperament became wide spread _because_ of the piano specifically - not just to sound the same in every key, but to sound the same on each piano. And so equal temperament would not have saturated European music until the early 19th century when the piano became ubiquitous. The reason being (as mentioned) that many other instruments can be tuned by the musician on the spot, whereas a piano requires some standardization.
I do believe the live match was with a newer version of the agent that hadn't been tested against human yet
I'll admit I just plucked a year at random there and it was a poor example. You've aptly demonstrated your grasp of history but think it's a case of refusing to see the forest for the trees. The question in my mind is whether you've soured on the entire imperial project or not. Were the American objectives there ever realistic? Did the war ever make sense?

The Syrian conflict itself is far too big a can of worms to open here. We probably disagree on the ground truth of what precipitated the conflict there and who's fighting whom and for what reasons. Regardless, it's very hard to convince the average American that whatever geopolitical maneuvering is happening there is worth caring about - despite very hard propaganda push campaigns in support of it.

Back to the start of the thread, it was my observation that media outlets such as CNN, Fox etc are broadly pro-war... you're basically getting the range of perspectives between State and DoD and that's about it. The broad heuristic you can use to predict their editorial slant on any issue is use-of-force maximization. And that's definitely a discernible agenda.
If you don't think your nation had a moral duty to apologize for the genocide of millions of Jews, black ppl, disabled ppl and queer people, then I don't think we are going to find common ground. The contingent nature of history seems to largely escape you.

> If you really want to go down that route - you are aware that the USA was taken away from native Americans, who died by the millions?

Of course and I believe those people are owed reparations both for their historically poor treatment and for the continuing violence they face (see standing rock)
Its a weird industry. If you're there for appeasing people who enjoy art, story and gameplay, there's now a market for that. And those people don't mind either paying a little more for the title nor a 2-3 hour long game, as long as the experience is great.

But if you're there to chase teenagers for their parent's money, or even just the lowest common denominator of gamer, you'll probably have a bad time. Those customers want very long campaigns, AAA graphics and as low of a price point as possible.
Sounds good if you trust the "Watchdog" - some have criticized NewsGuard as biased towards news outlets representing Neo-Con interests.
It's not clear to me whether the costs of lower specialization from having designers do a larger chunk of the work are necessarily worse than communication overhead. Having a component library is great when it'll already do everything you need it to (e.g. because in the course of your organizational history you've gone through a lot of designers and a lot of designs), but the failure mode can be a huge drain.
A lot responses challenging your Angular-is-hated claim, but I'd like to challenge your other one.

Tensorflow is not necessarily the most loved framework, despite it being in python, and being around for years now. This is in stark contrast to the way TF was marketed and hyped up, as the f/w that's going to take over the world of DL. That clearly didn't happen.

I think torch/pytorch is more popular (but don't quote me on that). And there are about half-a-dozen more competing with these two.

Putting two and two together, Angular and TF likely have more similarities than differences when it comes to community response.
Except in 2016. And that 4000 is a biased population of only game devs that attended a certain conference. Maybe if it was a totally random sample of 4000 of all game devs it would be statistically significant.
Their action counter rationale seemed fallacious, allowing 300 actions per minute sounds like it would give the bot an edge, presumably the bot has a much better ratio of meaningful actions vs all actions.
> Publishing good reliable content.

What is your definition of “good reliable content”?

I find it funny you cite left leaning sources that masquerade as objective. NYT hiring Sarah Jeong and claiming white privilege is rampant. Give me a break.

(This is an unpopular opinion, particularly on HN.)
But considering how many developers don’t live where the conference takes place and/or can’t get there I have to agree with the top here and say this survey is severely limited.
you happen to be talking to someone graduated in UX design. and from my high horse I often don't fall for personal taste when writing UI critic :)

if the user wants to move to a terminal window they have open in the background, which key combination do they press? alt+tab or alt+backtick? they have to stop and actively think about which current window is highlighted. is it the browser? or another terminal? this completely kills the action fluency of a keyboard shortcut.
The issue isn't with sample size. It is with sample method.

The population of gamedevs who go to a conference is probably not a random selection of gamedevs in general.
You can perform multiplication by repeated addition, but that is a very inefficient way to multiply. It's the same thing here, where you can replace other instructions with MOV, but the replacement is much slower than the original.
"standard": random endpoints returning JSON can be easy to use, once you're familiar with them, but you have to learn each endpoint separately. Hopefully GraphQL (or something like JSONAPI) will bring us a real standard interface to apis.
If you're on a Macintosh or iDevice, Apple News lets you block specific sources.

I use this to lock out sources that are behind a paywall, or that only feed Apple News one paragraph and require you to click/scroll through to their site for the full story. Often nothing is lost because those sites are only barely functional on mobile anyway.
Just so you know, this is the knife edge that leads you down to crunch.

Literally every time I had a 3-4mo 80-100hour crunch it always started out with "we're going to push for a week or two" which just transitioned into "just one more week" for the next 3 months.

Also, shame for celebrating a crunch. You may have enjoyed it but there's a high likelyhood someone else went along just to not "rock the boat". I don't care who you are putting in more hours puts stress on other parts of your life.

I just don't understand how that industry has their head up their ass from top to bottom for such a long time. There's some interesting problems in that space but after my 6 years I'd never go back.
Well, how about you actually measure the ROI. Run the ad for a while, measure the click-throughs (and resulting sale). It's not rocket science.

That survey is biased, because it makes Angular == Angular 2+ == AngularJS.

If mov is Turing Complete it seems like there'd be a big win here... You could parallelize this massively.

Actually, One Instruction Set Computers were proposed for this very application! (Also mentioned elsewhere, but is applicable in a serious way here.)

I've talked about this with friends – is CS a gold rush right now? I'm sure with the younger generation being fed that it's a cheat code to make money the market will flood and wages will be driven down. Or, web dev jobs will be flooded and proper system design jobs will stay the same since they have such a high barrier of entry? We'll just have to wait and see.
We only run it for quick tests. This is custom code that our main application uses for custom logic that is different for each customer. We can't build it into the main product because not everyone wants/needs it. We always test on the lambdas directly, but we just dev on our machine as that's sometimes quicker.
On a slight tangent, I remember minimal lambda languages like Iota, Jot and Zot that I think were derived from Unlambda.
Federal law forces unions to represent all workers in a bargaining unit. You can choose not to pay anything in most states. In the rest, you are forced to pay an "agency fee" for the services the union is forced to provide you.
Correct, but perhaps unions didn't arise from that because the model failed---that era of Silicon Valley died in the dot-com bust.

The second generation of dot-coms that succeeded centered developers as domain experts and essential to company survival (broadly-speaking; there is certainly variance).
It had a variety of strategies, not always making a lot of stalkers. And humans can do some really impressive blink micro too up to a certain number of units.

So that's one aspect of it but isn't the main strength.
Then don't let them into the union? Or, alternatively, fire them from the union. A modern union is not restricted to follow the same practices as ones for different times and industries.
> safely merging YAML diffs however could be trouble

Yarn will actually do the merging automatically — if you have conflict markers in your lockfile, just running yarn will parse them along with the rest of the file and produce a new lockfile with the changes from both diffs (unless there's a genuine conflict).

I assume that this feature won't go away with the new lockfile format
They’re definitely not sanitation workers. On my street the homeless constantly empty full public trash bins all over the sidewalk looking for bottles and cans.

few problems are easily parallelizable. that said, that's not even the issue here. specialized instruction may be emulated by movs, but the speed loss could never be recouped even by massive parallelization.
What makes you think this would be easier to parallelize than a traditional application?

Exactly such an idea was proposed for parallel signal processing quite a while back, actually. Look up One Instruction Set Computer.

I'm not a fan of unions either. That said, I won't work more than 40 hours in a week more than a handful of weeks out of the year. I'm 44yo now, and when I took my current job, I stated I only have about 1 crunch week a quarter in me. If I have to do more than one 40-50+ hour week a quarter, then it's not me that is the problem.

I don't work in gaming though. I would love to, but the pay for business development is frankly better with a lot less stress. I wouldn't mind seeing a push legislating that any salaried worker in a week must be granted an extra paid day off at 45 hours and each 5 hours above in a single week. That would stop, or at least compensate, the abuse.
They mentioned that they initially used imitation learning on human replays.
I think if you're merging lockfile diffs, you're doing something wrong! Merge the package.json diffs and regenerate the lockfile.
"What people don't realise when making cloned products is that this diverts money into knock-off merchants' pockets rather than our licenced distributors (for which we take a licence fee)."

In other words, they can't (or won't) sell at a competitive price.
