>this is my little brother :(

It's all of our little brothers. It's an entire generation of lost souls spending their lives on World of Warcraft and Fortnite, feeling like they are accomplishing something by earning another loot crate. When fantasy becomes more compelling and stimulating than real life, it's no wonder.
If you're interested in following these things, the Deep Space Network Now page [1] is a fun one to keep bookmarked. It displays the real time status of each DSN station and what spacecraft they are communicating with. [edit] you'll want to click on "more detail" on the lower right to see the technical information about the signals for each antenna.

Right now, Canberra has both an uplink and a downlink going to New Horizons.

Even more fun is when they get a downlink from one of the Voyager probes. The signal strength is so incredibly small, it's testament to very skilled engineers developing the signal processing they use.

Haha fair enough. The gaming industry is at the level of textile mill exploitation of workers.
I think the CIS benchmarks are a good option, but they are very detailed. They do provide pre-rolled images though, which may be a quick solution.
Agree, it doesn't adequately capture the full range of business models in the software market.
If you watch the 11th game where pro player wins, (prior was a 10-0 shutout by Alpha), the AI actually lost because they rebuilt the agent to use the same forced camera perspective as the human - so there is absolute truth to this being a compelling advantage. It was able to micro multiple units in disparate areas by having far better spatial awareness. When they took that advantage away it seemed more even.
Feedback loops aren't always negative, and even if there is a small chance for a positive feedback loop with respect to increasing temperatures, we should take action now and attempt to reduce carbon emissions.

I also think that if there is a reinforcing temperature feedback loop, this isn't likely to happen to happen fast enough--at least through behavior changes. So we should focus most of our resources on developing better methods of energy production, increasing energy efficiency, and developing technology/methods to mitigate the damage of rising temperatures to human civilization.
The difference between a blob storage system that implements an "S3-compatible" API, and AWS S3, is that no one is mistaking the other offering for S3. Dozens of libraries that implement the S3 API as a client, and offerings that implement it in the server aren't under pressure to diverge between fake S3 and real S3, because the API is feature-complete, and doesn't change in meaningful ways. There may be monetary harm to S3 from the competitor cloning their API and competing with them on price, but there is no reputational harm to S3.

It would be revisionist to claim that there was no reputational harm done to official Java by Android's lookalike Java -- irrespective of any mismanagement by Oracle of the Java platform. How does one prevent that?
The biggest current roadblock to urbanization is the insanely high cost of living in cities, and your solution to this is to add an up-to-1200% land value tax?

This would be a really quick way to force working class people to live even further away from the city than they already are.
These lists are always the same and never say anything new. Work hard, have goals, be focused, etc etc. No fucking shit. Everyone has heard this stuff X1000. The problem is, you can read the same shit again and again, but if you're not that way from the beginning, reading the same crap isn't suddenly going to change you.

Most people who are mega driven are that way because of their birth parents and childhood. If you were born into a crap family who didn't encourage you, by the time you're 18, it's radically harder to change, no matter how many billionaires come along and say "hard luck chum, just work harder and set some goals."
Late on this as well but in case it's useful to you, I use this for quick "git add":

ga () {
if test "$#" -eq 0
then
echo "No arguments (0_0)?"
elif test "$#" -eq 1
then
git add -u && git commit -m "$(echo $1 | sed 's/^./\U&\E/')"
else
git add ${@:1:$(( $# - 1 ))} && git commit -m "$(echo ${@:$#} | sed 's/^./\U&\E/')"
fi
}

Usage:

# Add all modified files and capitalize the commit message
ga "fix typo in README"
# Add some files and treat last arg as commit message
ga main.rs point.rs "speedup by 10e9"
And perhaps worth noting that the great apes we evolved alongside have the same kind of outrage to unfair trades.

> primitive people

The only indigenous population I know about in any detail is that of my nation (Australia). They were far from "primitive", rather constituted an unimaginably ancient continent-wide civilisation.

> native Americans had already hunted the rest of the megafauna to extinction

Again, speaking for the Aus equivalent: there's an arguable case that descendants of the original settlers arriving across the PNG land bridge may have caused species extinctions. Given what we know of H. Sapiens, it's pretty likely.

But that has little to do with the indigenous Australians who the European invaders encountered. By this time they had undergone 40-60,000 years of cultural and social development. By this advanced stage they had an extraordinarily detailed understanding of the ecologies they lived in and managed. The "in tune with nature" phrase is not to my taste, but if any population could be described this way, it was them.

> The truth is more likely that being "in tune" with nature was simply a matter of survival

Well this assumes they were not true human cultures, a hallmark of which is rarely doing anything only for survival. All known human cultures have myths and institutions, beliefs, roles and manners of life woven deeply with all the acts that also happen to perform survival functions. It's a bit of a dehumanising stance to expunge everything but the survival aspect. It's also not a stance that ever withstands even a modicum of familiarity with any real human culture.
Its almost like trying to copyright a spoken language.
Aye. The old rules are ... old rules. Nowadays we have rather a lot of temperature sensors - inlet, outlet and each subsystem has multiple sensors - they will also report max and min and current.

Rapid changes in temperature and interactions with certain ranges of humidity can be interesting.
Hi neighbor. Indiana has a Bill this year.

Here’s what I wrote in:

Hi Justin,

I'm one of your constituents and I'm writing to ask you to support Right to Repair legislation in 2018.

As a Purdue physics PhD (makers all), it’s frustrating to see producers of electronic devices (mostly out of state mind you) keep their devices unserviceable by anyone but the manufacturer. Allowing service creates a flourishing repair culture, supports local entrepreneurs, and encourages reuse and recycling.

Please join Terry Goodin in the support for this bill. Let me know if there’s anyway I can assist you.

All the best,
Rubidium
This is why you unionize.
Yeah that's a reasonable way to look at it.

> The biological origins of narrative lie in shallow information cognitive ecologies, circumstances characterized by profound ignorance. What we cannot grasp we poke with sticks. Hitherto we’ve been able to exapt these capacities to great effect, raising a civilization that would make our story-telling ancestors weep, and for wonder far more than horror. But as with all heuristic systems, something must be taken for granted. Only so much can be changed before an ecology collapses altogether. And now we stand on the cusp of a communicative revolution even more profound than literacy, a proliferation, not simply of alternate narratives, but of alternate narrators.

> If you sweep the workbench clean, cease looking at meaning as something somehow ‘anomalous’ or ‘transcendent,’ narrative becomes a matter of super-complicated systems, things that can be cut short by a heart attack or stroke. If you refuse to relinquish the meat (which is to say nature), then narratives, like any other biological system, require that particular background conditions obtain. Scranton’s error, in effect, is a more egregious version of the error Harari makes in Homo Deus, the default presumption that meaning somehow lies outside the circuit of ecology. Harari, recall, realizes that humanism, the ‘man-the-meaning-maker’ narrative of Western civilization, is doomed, but his low-dimensional characterization of the ‘intersubjective web of meaning’ as an ‘intermediate level of reality’ convinces him that some other collective narrative must evolve to take its place. He fails to see how the technologies he describes are actively replacing the ancestral social coordinating functions of narrative.

What happens if a human tries to use the API with a custom UI of the human's own choosing? Such a UI might not exist yet, but are there ideas for more efficient UIs that could be built?
For myself, I was surprised by how low-level Tensorflow was. I found that basic operations (things like saving and reloading a trained model) were much more difficult than in Keras, scikit-learn, or other machine learning libraries. Using Tensorflow feels sort of like computing derivatives with limits.

I think the problem lies in the idea that publicly traded companies need to do more, more, and more. Stability should be rewarded, too.

There are a bunch of ports that might be used in the course of handling it, but most of them aren't port 80.

Trying to solve Imperfect information games is interesting.

But realtime game is not. As computer have edges in boring fileds (apm etc).

I feel the real challenge will be Imperfect information, turn based, and cooperation( teamplay based) for ai.

Unfortunately there are currently no game AFAIK with these characteristics...

Like a 2d turn based counter-strike or dota/lol would be really the good format game to solve.
I don't see why they shouldn't. They're definitely creative works that take skill to produce.

You're missing an argument in there that joins your two assertions.

The fact that something is creative or requires skill to produce doesn't mean that it should be copyrighted.

Copyright is a government enforced monopoly. In order for society to enforce that monopoly on behalf of private enterprise, there has to be a quid pro quo. The usual one is to promote creation and distribution of new works.

The question then is: would no APIs exist if they weren't copyrightable?
I also worked on a Python project that integrated DocuSign.

I was able to hack together solutions and skirt around DocuSign's many problems, garbage documentation, and general very-low-quality API, but in no circumstance would I ever recommend it to anyone. Late in the project I seriously considered throwing it away and switching to another API.

The other API I considered was: https://app.hellosign.com/api/pricing

This is literally ten times the price of DocuSign and I don't know how long they'll be in business, so it's a hard sell to buy into that. The API docs looked way way better (like stripe or twilio or slack apis, rather than some janky enterprise nonsense), but development and hacking around DocuSign was a one time expense, and the API is an ongoing cost.

If remotely possible, I'd just sign stuff in person and mail or fax it, since all this stuff just adds difficulty, complexity, and cost, to very little benefit unless you have a LOT of people signing stuff. The application I worked one was for one or two signatures a month, so not worth the trouble.
I watched all of the event live and I feel that that graph is deceptive. If a game is 15 minutes and has 3 main battles lasting 15 seconds each, and you use 100 average APM on non-battle time and 1000 APM during battles, your average APM will be 145 but you obviously have a superhuman advantage.

This is compounded by the fact that almost all of AlphaStar’s actions are “useful” whereas a significant amount of the human actions are spammy.

You will typically see a human select a group of units, and fast-click a location in the general direction they want the units to move (to get them started moving that way), and then keep clicking to continuously update the destination to a more precise location. Every click counts as an action. An AI can be perfectly precise and “clicks” the right place the first time.
What about future Microsoft? :)
Sure let's stop consuming fossil fuels and go back to the stone age. All for a scientific theory that has zero evidence (save for computer models that are always wrong).
How can you appeal the arbitration in court? Pretty sure you agree (when signing away your rights) that you will hold the arbitration result to be binding and you give up any potential court remedy. IANAL though.
> It basically boils down to essentially being if you are successful then it directly because of your privileged class...not from your hard work or skill. If you are unsuccessful or poor then it is because the privileged class is holding you down and preventing you from being successful.

This is a completely incorrect idea of what people are arguing privilege means.

Privilege is a step up on the ladder. It doesn't get you the whole way, and someone without that bonus step can still get up the ladder, but it changes the difficulty somewhat.
Copyright law has nothing to do with "reputational harm," assuming Java in fact suffered any.
>There's not much of a difference, practically speaking.

It means you can come up with your own API design without infringing on someone else's copyright.

>If you can copyright the structure and organization of an API, then interoperability becomes impossible.

It doesn't become impossible. It simply means that people need to follow the license that the API has. If the Java API was valuable to Google then they can pay the creators a license fee to use it. If the license fee is too expensive or comes with unacceptable terms then don't use it. Write your own or use some other API with a more permissive license.
> That will be more interesting any day of the week.

I doubt it. I'm not successful because I haven't even put in the work these articles lay out. And I definitely haven't gotten lucky. I assume millions of dollars definitely won't come my way until I at least do the part of the equation in my control.

Doesn't sound like a very interesting article to me.
Actually none of the standard means (ie. not stealing/hacking logins , but using archives, caches & reading services) are illegal in my jurisdiction, so I am perfectly entitled to do just that.

Your approach fits an old fashioned way of reading (ie. reading primarily a small group of publications). Personally if I were to do that I'd rather buy paper. A huge part of the point of the web to me is to be able to read articles from a multiplicity of individual sources, not be corralled within a few. This affordance doesn't suit site subscriptions, which are fundamentally anti-web.
Sadly, you can't beat the physics with today's magnets. Magnetic monopoles are still sci-fi, so the strength of a magnetic field over distance falls of with an inverse cube law; the field strength is proportional to 1 / (distance ^ 3).

For the same reason, electromagnets need to use an enormous amount of power to be effective over long distances.

That's why people get these magnets implanted; because they sit right against the nerve, and the distance is on the order of nanometers. Hurts like heck to get it in, though.
I believe you are conflating latency and throughput. It might take AlphaStar 350ms to perceive a threat, but once perceived, it might issue many commands at high speed to respond.
The spectacular performance of the US economy, 1800 to the present, relative to countries with varying levels of socialism. The poor performance of socialist industries in the US. The failure of any socialist/communal agricultural system to produce enough food to feed itself. (Even the Soviets gave up on collective farms.)
This not standard practice. DLC plans will be specified at a high level early in production but will only solidify as the game gets closer to ship. There is a gap, which differs for different disciplines, between finishing work for the shipping build and its actual release. DLC is a great opportunity for the team to continue working at peak production on new content.

I've never seen content held back or cut out of a main release explicitly for the purpose of including in DLC. What sometimes happens is that features or half-finished content that the team decided to cut from the game is revisited for DLC. From my perspective as a game developer, modern games are never finished but at some point you have to start shipping things. DLC is an opportunity to explore ideas that would have otherwise been left on the cutting room floor, and provide some stability for large teams as they ramp down from full production.
IANAL, but why not just have a special labor court with more judges to be the nonbiased arbitrators? Or use retired judges to be like “independent contractor” arbitrators as a special division of the courts?

(I’m also not sure what the requirements to be an arbitrator are so please correct me).
Water is great but it is much better and safer to base the amount you consume on your weight and activity level rather than a fixed amount such as 1 gallon per day. This is the conclusion the author came to also.

It sounds like it's not 1 ISBN per book, it's one ISBN per printing/publisher of each book. If you have 9 books and 9 publishers in different countries print them once and then in some countries they get reprinted/resold later on by a different publisher...

I agree a tough background makes it a lot harder. But I don't think that takes away from the fact that people find these kinds lists helpful in moving forward from their starting point. I can think of a few famous examples of people who attribute their success partly to crafting and refining their own personal guidelines. Charlie Munger of Bershire Hathaway and his "mental models". Ray Dalio of Bridgewater documents the principles that helped him in a landmark book called Principles. Now I'm curious to look up people's backgrounds to see what successful people from tough backgrounds put in their lists.
I believe you are right. The CentOS repos don't have the security metadata?

"That seems very inefficient and friction prone"

That's the way its done in general: User makes request, request is approved, action. I was noting that a Linux system does not get in the way of that work flow by being a Linux system. If the box belongs to a company then the company gets to decide what is on it.

If the box belongs to the end user then obviously root rights are in order. However, my wife never gets to use anything requiring root rights on her Arch Linux laptop and does not care and would not know what it is anyway. I keep her laptop functioning effectively by watching disc space and other metrics and regularly patching/updating it for her.

It most cases the only requirement is a pulse.

There’s usually no mandatory legal or industry training.
Haskell's type system still isn't sound. It just elimates that particular class of errors.

A lack of soundness is closely related to the Turing completeness, especially in languages based on HM. In an ideal world you would want a sound type system and not want Turing completeness, but the tooling doesn't exist to make those choices the most pragmatic right now.
Which has asymmetrical effects. Ask why all of those miserable people working in the video gaming industry don't just quit? The "just go find another job" refrain is a tired one.

Back during the Microsoft antitrust trial, there was talk of breaking them up into two companies, Apps and Systems. And I thought, really? Now you'll just have two companies--smaller, nimbler, hungrier, that don't compete with each other. Or, as jwz might say, "Now you have two problems."
It's not "games", as it was a single game, and it came with the big caveat that they didn't have much time to actually prepare and train this one as much. The one that won against Mana was trained for 2 weeks, versus this one that only had one week of training.

While the AI did have an advantage in terms of micro/camera view, it still was able to make decent decision making and independently come up with a bunch of interesting strategies. At the end of the day, that's really the goal of the research, not whether or not it uses the right number of APM or uses the camera properly. Those are just artificial restrictions put to make it look fair and entertaining.
