> I worked for five years at early and late stage startups before transitioning to games, and I cannot recall there ever being a time when extra work was not needed to get over the finish line.

I worked at such company too. It had zero to do with need for overtime and and a lot to do with people wanting to work this way. E.g. unwillingness to prioritize, unwillingness to negotiate, wish to be seen like the one who stays late and thus finding work to stay late when not needed. Overtime is not seen as failure of organization, so the organization does not learn how to do it. People staying late are seen as heros and people managing projects so that overtime is not needed are not rewarded, so latter leave and former create culture.

To large extend, people who stay in such companies don't believe it is possible to make deadline without overtime, so they are not even trying.

I understand that human society has progressed over time. That's not what I'm disputing. What I'm pointing out is that it's meaningless to compare current situation to the past. A homeless man in 2019 is better off than everyone in the roman empire - including the emperor and the homeless. So what? How does that help the homeless man in 2019. A slave in the 1800s was wealthier than the anyone in the roman empire. So what? People in 2019 or people in the 1800s weren't living in the roman empire. The north koreans in political camps are wealthier than the emperor of roman empire. So I guess that means everything is great? It's such a deceptive and insincere comparison. People live within their time and their "wealth" should be compared within it. And more importantly, wealth should always be viewed within the context of power because ultimately, that's what wealth is.
You're defining success in non-scalable terms. Sure, not everyone can be millionaire but what if just being "financially solvent" is considered a success? What if maximizing financially solvent people is a definition of success for a society?

I wonder if that would let you win with something like mass dark templar with phoenix's to snipe observers. You could run right past it, and it could never anticipate you.

Other than Google, which clearly abuses (at times) their market power from the dominance of Google Ads, Android, and Chrome, I have no idea what draws the ire of all those other companies; not individually and certainly not as a group.

I guess it's supposed to be something... something... social media... something... privacy... something. But I strongly suspect it's just vague anti-corporate sentiment, anxiety around our bitter political divisiveness, and resentment over the excesses in the technology sector (e.g. brogrammers).

I'm no anti-trust scholar but I don't think the purpose and design of anti-trust law is to resolve national cultural crises.

No, that doesn't eliminate the advantage -- that's what I'm trying to say. Even if you make the AI move the screen around manually and only let it enumerate units that are on-screen, that's still going to take roughly as long as just enumerating through all the units on the map in one go. It's just a matter of executing "foreach all_units" versus "foreach screens { foreach units_on_screen }". In either case a computer could do that much faster than a human.

Let me put it the opposite way: If you gave the human player a real time list of every visible unit on the map and all of their information, such that they didn't have to move the screen around manually and could see everything at a glance just like AlphaStar can, would that take the advantage away from AlphaStar? No, it wouldn't because AlphaStar could still go through all that data much faster than any human ever could -- no matter how it's formatted or what you have to do to access it. To AlphaStar, checking all the visible screens is just as much work as scrolling through a list of units.

This is a great point, and something that seems a bit lost in the discussion:

In StarCraft 2, the game IS the interface. That is to say, the developers have constructed the game in such a way as to be difficult to control; and human mastery of the interface is a large percentage of the game. Strategy in the game is important, of course -- but this is not chess, where human beings are not limited by the interface of the game. In StarCraft, you are intentionally given a limited interface to monitor and control a gigantic game while under incredibly tight time controls.

And I should also note that Blizzard is extremely reluctant to add features that make it easier to control the game. I have a friend who works on the StarCraft 2 team. We talked at length about this one feature that he designed and proposed for the team to make a specific aspect of the game friendlier towards players. It was turned down for exactly the reasoning above -- the game is the interface. By making the game easier to control, it disrupts the entire experience; an StarCraft 2 that is easier to control is no longer StarCraft 2.

> [...] to be effective and enable other scientists success.

I would reframe this slightly: What are the fundamental open problems in computer science that prevent our existing tools from working for scientists more generally? E.g. are there constraints (like the need for high performance in certain applications) that break assumptions or tradeoffs made elsewhere in CS? Personally, I believe there are such constraints, and that's why techniques which may work for CS in other application areas don't always work so well in scientific computing---and conversely why some of the historical solutions in scientific computing look so backwards to the rest of the CS community.

For us, it's not just about helping one particular group of scientists (though, obviously our work is heavily informed by working closely with scientists at the lab), it's about bringing about a sea change in the way science is done, by improving the tools we use it do it (be those programming languages, compilers, libraries, frameworks, visualization techniques, AI/ML, or whatever).

> Do you have any specific requirements that would immediately disqualify a candidate?

We're new enough that I'm not sure we've got a crisp answer to this, but if you mail me I can ask around if there are specific points you have concerns about.
There are a lot more variables that need to be added to for an "AI general".

- There needs to be a system for simulating real-world battles. (Since we need to iterate the AI, afterall.) In WW2 the WATU was a good simulation of German submarine vs. Allied Convoy battles, but I imagine that ground battles are messier. Link for background: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVet82IUAqQ

- Autonomous directions. If a unit loses contact with the AI, what orders should they follow?

- Need to react quickly to changes in the effectiveness of weapons. If army-B has a Surface-to-air missile that has a 80% hit rate, rather than the estimated 40% hit rate, the AI needs to adapt.

- Different armies have different tolerances for causalities, both military and civilian.

I suspect you're getting downvoted because people don't like the idea of military-general AI. I don't really love it either, but it's going to happen. Hopefully we can encourage its programmers to include the Geneva convention rules for war.

Decades ago, I heard a [possibly apocryphal] story that was already decades old about an encounter between a man famous for his vast wealth (I can't remember who, Carnegie, Morgan, Rockefeller..?) and a fan. A man recognized the rich guy on the street and approached him. "Are you <whoever>?" Yes. "Tell me, what does it really feel like to have so much money?"

"Young man, I could probably ask you the same question." The young man looked puzzled. The rich man continued, "Do you feel as though you have enough money?" "Well, sure, I suppose, but it would be great to have more."

"How does it feel--feeling that you have enough money and more would be a luxury? I've never once felt that way, so I can't stop until I feel that way, too."

Devoting your life to getting above some very high percentile in money is not the best use of your only life for most people, in my opinion, but as long as they're not stealing it, it's okay with me if others want that for themselves (and I don't feel entitled to a share of it.) I think we all should take seriously the responsibility to support ourselves and to help others who can't, but beyond that, there are countless forms of success that are as worthy as "owning lots of valuable things".
Lee Sedol was not the best player anymore at that time (not saying it wasn't an impressive/important achievement, but overstating it doesn't help either - the "beat best human players part" came later in 2017).

Works well if your only targets are GCC and Clang. For building across several platforms with other compilers, you could just manipulate the flags globally on those other compilers without giving up high levels and specificity of warnings on gcc/clang.

Once machines exceed normal human play, further research does not focus on trying to make the machines play badly so that it's fun to face humans again. What ever would be the point of that?

Instead we just watch the machines versus other machines.

This is why we didn't see "AlphaZero plays chess versus grand master" games - they'd be dull, A0 wipes the floor with grand masters because it's an AI and grand masters aren't, boring.

But lc0 and similar have been entering computer chess competitions with (a clone of) the Google Alpha Zero design. It does pretty well.

Just as with TAS in speed running, you get a synergy. On the one hand, the machines play a distinctly different game, perfect on its own terms, a TAS run never succeeds in a frame perfect trick on the second or third try, always the first - the AI will never mis-blink a stalker to a pointless death. But human play continues, not against the machine but parallel to it, and learning from it. Golden Eye speedrunning was hugely influenced by TAS findings. Modern human chess is influenced by the machine chess play styles.
That's really terrible recommendation. You should add firewall rules and allow SSH access only from trusted hosts, ideally over VPN. It's not about login attempts but about possible bug in SSH (and other network services), because it's all just software, written in C, so believe it or not, but it's there, it's not if but when.

Wow, this is really deep:

>One philosophical point is that each window is of a type: a browser, a debugger, a workspace, a bit editor. Each window is created by a special action that determines its type. This is in contrast to our style of windows, which creates a general space in which anything may be run. With our windows, it is easy to get to the outside world; the notion of Unix appears only when a Unix thing happens in the window. By contrast, Smalltalk windows are always related to Smalltalk. This is hard to explain (it is, as I said, philosophical), but a trite explanation might be that you look outwards through our windows but inwards through theirs.

I tried to find anything how to decrypt FlexRay paper your provided, but found only very limited observable information.

Looks like it is AES-CBC with static IV, not very good, but not that bad. Still very very far from hackable. Even if you will be able to guess AES key (somehow) there are no way to hack asymmetric keys. Sure you can leak them during delivery of firmware, but i really feel that this is not the case for Mercedes. Also that's how they make money (and provide security) - lock down access to everything.

I say the HP workstation. Not only will the work required to set up a bunch of individual RPis to talk to each other effectively eclipse the work required to configure a single machine, but the overhead from truly parallel, separate computers is huge compared to a single machine where the individual cores share CPU cache and memory. Disk performance, which I imagine to be a possible issue with your project, is going to be orders of magnitude better on a real SSD than slow, unreliable microSD cards. And 64GB RAM is 8 times as much as the RAM on all the RPis combined. Considering that there’s more duplication of code in memory required on each Raspberry Pi, you’re going to have much less than 8GB total to work with.

Per watt, the ARM cores will beat the Intel ones, but per dollar you’re getting a much better deal on the desktop. The Raspberry Pi setup will cost quite a bit more than $500 once you include fast microSD cards, power supplies, cooling, an Ethernet switch, and cabling to hook everything together.

Get the serious workstation-class machine, or consider buying a couple of used rackmount servers on eBay for cheaper than $800 (minus the astronomical power costs; you can heat your house with server hardware).

This is a great point - Stripe is one of the exceptional companies that maintains a great openapi spec though!

- Type (and nullability!) of fields

- In-situ documentation on what the fields are for

- Ability to navigate the Stripe graph from any starting point (customer -> charges -> cards) in a single super-efficient call

- Search-ability across the whole Stripe API in a single field

- Potentially joins across services, e.g. from Stripe to Zendesk or Salesforce

And so on and so on!

I have a few questions:

1) What exactly do you mean by a supersolid?

2) How would this be described mathematically? What predictions would your theory make?

3) How does this account for some galaxies seeming to have large amounts of dark matter, and others seeming to have less?

4) What predictions does your theory make with regards to the expansion of the universe?

5) What predictions does this theory have with regards to places with extreme gravity, such as neutron stars and black holes?
FWIW, they have added a lot of missing shortcuts in the last few years. Haven't used Windows Excel in ages, though, so I'm not sure what's still missing. That being said, Excel for Mac has gotten slower in a recent update. And the UI text, which already kinda looked crummy and not very Mac-like, now looks even less Mac-like.

But Excel is the lingua franca of business, so I keep on using it.

I once read that 85% of Google searches are repeat searches, queries that Google has "seen" before. If this is false, please ignore the rest of this comment.

If 85% of searches are repeated queries, does this mean Google will treat a query differently if it is a repeated one?

If a query looks like a repeat query is it funnelled into a retrieving a set of predetermined results?

(To be clear, I am referring to queries that do not match exactly.)

No doubt this would be much faster than a "dynamic" search where any similarities to prior queries are ignored.

To keep things "fast" it might be necessary to treat the 85% differently from the 15%.

It might be beneficial for the search engine provider to encourage users to use repeat searches rather create than new ones.

As we know, Google is not transparent regarding the series of steps they use in providing search results from their web cache thus these questions are likely to remain unanswered.

This isn't an issue specific to chromium or even google. There are a lot of projects that seem to have an inside and an outside with those on the outside rightly-or-wrongly feeling unheard.
The fewer people work, the more scarce products and services become, and the more expensive everything becomes. So it would probably make retiring early unfeasible. Unless things get automated to a degree that causes abundance.

Either way I'd imagine you'd be able to live a more relaxed life. With 50 years work experience you'd probably be very effective. Your probably only need to work 2 or 3 days per week.
Then maybe we need a better game than StarCraft to test this on? Some kind of RTS that's less micro-heavy, perhaps? Maybe even an RTS where you can't give orders to individual units at all, like the Total War series? You can't fault the AI for winning at the game because of the way the game itself works.

Even if you limit the AI to max human APM, it's still going to dominate in these micro-heavy battles because it's going to make every one of its actions count.

Look, I am not a laywer, and I am happy for someone to correct me here, but this is the wording of the law:

"A personal data breach means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data."

Is there anything in that sentence that means a successful credential stuffing attack would not fit the criteria?
It’s interesting that the GP says ‘success’ and you’ve said ‘wealth’. One of those Freudian slips that belies true intention. More often than not, wealth follows success, not the other way around. But to be 100% clear, success and wealth are not one and the same.
That makes sense, but there's a coordination problem. If everyone invoked their right to a speedy trial, the system would indeed collapse under its own weight.

Yes, and it is glorious...from the perspective of a defense lawyer. Because as soon as the DA realizes they can't just railroad defendants, they start getting realistic about the plea bargains they offer and which cases to triage due to lack of evidence.

I've seen it happen before (the entire local defense bar refused to wave speedy trial rights) and the DA held out for about 1.5 days before buckling.
The idea is not to "feel bad about" being male, or white, or having four functional limbs. The idea is to recognize that these characteristics - which others can't "strive" towards - may give us advantages that aren't earned.

If I suddenly became black, and nothing else about me changed, studies have shown I'd likely be treated differently by police, potential employers, medical facilities, etc.

Recognizing that fact may make it easier to combat. Perhaps the next time I interview a woman I might be more conscious of the fact that what I'd perhaps have seen as "assertiveness" or "confidence" in a male candidate is being noted as "pushy" or "bitchy" in the female one, and back off from that assessment somewhat.
