I strongly disagree with your bleak view of the EU. Membership is actually one of Spain's biggest strengths, as are other alliances, like NATO.

Of course, there is a tradeoff here, members loose a degree of independence, and there are serious problems with the design of the Euro, laid bare by the financial crisis.

But one should also compare the current situation with the alternative, which would be european nations facing US, Russia and China on their own. Their bargainaing power and influence would be severely reduced, as the UK is about to find out.

I see this current trend against international alliances as part of the larger wave of populism and nationalism in the wake of the financial crisis, where people are looking for whom to blame, and the real culprits (crony capitalism) are too happy by the distraction: career polititians, and the rest of the world in the US (how else to explain Trump?), the EU in the UK, the West in Russia, and, more to the point, Spain in Catalonia.

Much of this talk of the EU being against its members' interests is Kremlin propaganda, given that much of Russia's weakness lies in the strength of western alliances, so it is in their interest to weaken or break them.
AlphaGo Zero was extremely computation inefficient because in (IMO misguided) attempt to be "general", DeepMind avoided even slightly specializing training to Go. KataGo optimized training to Go, slightly, and obtained 100x speedup, and that was low hanging fruit.

I have dust mite allergy and had infection-prone sinuses for years and lived with a chronic feverish feeling. I recently had FESS, using endoscope blades to clear passages. I slept great for a few weeks and then allergic symptoms came back again giving me muscle aches and a racing heart. So I wake up unrested. My Huawei band says I get recommended amount of deep sleep but deep sleep continuity is lower than recommended. I am waiting for the dust mite SLIT vaccine to kick in, it could take a year more. Till then I'm trying to isolate the mites in bed.

> This wireless internet would probably work for us speedwise... but because I live somewhere that offers both Comcast and Verizon FIOS, I'm able to get 100/100 Mbps service for $40/month.

This service isn't made for you then. If you watch the video on the site the customer is clear: rural area residents without a hope or prayer of getting high speed internet. Where neither cable, or fiber, or potentially even DSL is available. There are large swaths or rural America who still can't get real internet access, and there isn't money in it for telecoms to build the infrastructure to serve them. And those telecoms have squandered the funds that were specifically earmarked to give those people service.

You luckily have two options for high speed internet. Many Americans only have one. Some other Americans currently have 0. Wireless internet like this might be their best option, even if it's not your best option.

I agree that noise can impact change, but the problem here is we've already got this noise within the Blue states. In order to get a policy change you need to have majority of Congress which means the noise needs to be felt on the Red states. So yea, if this was happening in a corporation based in Texas, Florida, or Georgia, I'd believe this was an action. Right now this exposure is going into publications that target people who already share the same viewpoint as the protestors.

They didn't publish cross-race self-play statistics, but AlphaStar's MMR is 6275 for Protoss, 6048 for Terran, and 5835 for Zerg. So it is best at Protoss, and then Terran and Zerg, in that order.

I think the point made by user jbattle is that physics already allows, for example, causal relationships that go either “back in time” or “faster than light” from certain valid reference frames. Physicists have found ways of coping with this reality. Why should the introduction of a time machine make it fundamentally any different?
Of course she can have it both ways. Don’t be stupid. There’s plenty to do in physics without building an even bigger collider which likely won’t teach us more than the current one.
The pendulum rocket fallacy refers to the placement of the engine itself, not center of mass. Mass distribution absolutely matters, because with vectored thrust, your engine can exert a higher torque on the rocket if the center of mass is farther away. You can try it yourself with a long pole and weight (e.g. broom with big brush?). Balancing the pole with the weight on top is easier than with the weight on the bottom.

No. That's obviously the case for countries whose welfare system has been designed as a pyramid system.

But saying that any kind of welfare is necessarily unsustainable is as absurd as saying that spending on video games or Ethernet cables is necessarily unsustainable.

No, starting was $18,000/year until the FAA 1,200/1,500 hour experience rule.

Now it's around $30,000/year with a college degree. (Yeah, seriously.)

Experienced captains make $200,000 based on union senority, or $300,000+ in Asia for expats.
>[2] The problem with both parties (the pros & deepmind) is that they're so overspecialized. I'm nowhere near as good as them at their respective fields, but I am a professional programmer and diamond in StarCraft II. In addition I've built StarCraft II AI myself, although with different goals related to finding optimal strategies.

So many things wrong with this comment.

You're nowhere near a professional StarCraft player if you're in Diamond league (I play casually and I'm on high plat, bordering Diamond), and Oriol Vinyals, the lead research scientist behind this project, is one of the most renowned scientists in the field and used to play StarCraft at a professional level. They also said that other employees at DeepMind are at Masters level, and helped test the AlphaStar.
No, it happens.

They get them, and Asian/Asian-Americans are excluded from this, placing them in the "advantaged group" as I stated above (usually reserved for white people).

That they ruled this was "not unfair" doesn't make it "not discrimination." They admit as such that it happens to the detriment to Asian/Asian-Americans.

Like many other studied effects, this is less likely to be a specific cause of ADHD and autism spectrum symptoms, and more a generator of broad brain malfunction.

The diagnostic criteria for these conditions has two parts - the underlying symptoms themselves, and a severity test that indicates whether the person with them is unable to handle the symptoms well enough to do without treatment. This is explicitly in ADHD and autism spectrum diagnostic criteria, but to a good extent is an unavoidable part of it; if someone is quite brilliant and successful but a little strange, there's no reason for them to ever seek some kind of diagnosis.

I'd be very curious to see IQ test results here, as I suspect that it is an explanatory factor.
I had this exact issue and had a septoplasty procedure 4 years ago to fix it. The results were truly life changing because I could breath without being congested from dust mites. I had no idea how bad it was until I could breathe after the procedure. I can recommend my ENT specialist if you are interested. Getting this procedure cleared my nasal passages permanently and was probably THE best decision of my life. I can focus now.

It's not 'a couple' it's a considerable amount of them, and though you might not mind, it's not entirely unreasonable that those who live in those communities might mind.
Some of the simpler stuff sure, but more advanced techniques may require more understanding of more complex data and relationships. A lot of this is like you suspect and straightforward. It is being automated by things like AutoML. But doing things "better" for some definition of it is always probably going to be an expert thing. K-Means like this article outlines is maybe a beginner thing? I guess you could get complicated with it though as well.

Eventually. First you have to pay for your training. If you want to work for a major airline you also need a college degree. After that, you become a flight instructor and earn $20-30k and rack up some flight time. You then need to spend several years coming up with 1500 hours of flight time, either through instructing, flying charters, or simply paying to rent a plane. If you need to pay to rent or buy the plane, you're looking at $80k minimum to get buy the final 1000 hours.

Assuming the economy is doing well, you can go get a regional airline job. Today it will pay $40k to start, but if the economy falters, there will be an excess of pilots, and those that are lucky enough to have an airline job will be getting $25k like they used to.

Finally, after some years of this, you'll move to a major airline and start finally making good money. All the while, you're often away from your family, living an unhealthy lifestyle, exposed to radiation, and if you ever have any significant illness or require most any medication, your career is over, and you have to apply all of those jet pilot skills to something else.

If you're 18 and starting your training today, you have 47 years to retirement, and it's very likely that less than half way through your career, automation and remote piloting will have advanced enough that many planes will only require one pilot, causing a collapse in the demand for airline pilots and wrecking salaries.

But hey, you get to fly for a living!

It's basically a direct implementation of the Chudnovsky algorithm. Stick the above code in some file, say chud.dc, and you can run it from the command line like this:

$ dc -f chud.dc -e '10 100 lPxp'
$ dc -f chud.dc -e 'lTx 10 100 lPxp' # outputs tracing info

The salient macro is P (for "pi" of course). The comment documents its usage, showing how it transforms the stack. Items on the left of "--" are what it expects; items on the right are its outputs.

Unfortunately, this series seems to converge more slowly than Gauss-Legendre.

The PDF command returns a Wikipedia link
These are two different commands. "strace | grep foo" looks for any line containing foo. It will find "foobar" and "food" system calls. It will find the word "foo" in the (abridged) string data that it prints out (read(..., "foo...", ...)).

Meanwhile, strace's -e filter will find exact matches of syscalls that are named on the command line.

Obviously the author wants the second one, but it is hardly useless to grep. And, once you know how to use grep, you know how to do this sort of search for every program ever written. It is nice that strace has its own budget string matching built in... but knowing how strace works only tells you how strace works. Knowing how grep works lets you do this sort of thing to any program that outputs text.

(A lot of work has been done to try and make something as good as "strace -e" but generically; for example, Powershell's Select-Object cmdlet. I have never managed to get that to do anything useful, but they did manage to break grep, erm ... Select-String, in the process. Great work!)

1. We should go back to between 1-2 billion which is carrying capacity.

2. Beckoning E.O.Wilson’s Half Earth, we should rehab most of the planet that we have destroyed.

3. Hopefully many of us will live longer and better

4. Capitalism as we know it will have to be redefined.

5. Automation will usher this.

6. We would need to make breakthroughs to preserve and store genetic material

6. And cloning.

7. I would like to see ‘artificial’ carbon neutral beings. Human beings = expensive to planet. But more consciousness is good.it doesn’t have to be biological beings.

7. I would like to see artificial beings and AI that are aggregates and amalgamations and combinations of multiple consciousness ..like our non dna children, perhaps.

10. I hope to live long enough to live in a true to the sci fiction world of my imagination.

If none of this happens, I hope that at least I can have access to some really good drugs that will allow me to hallucinate. I live with hope. (Only being mildly facetious)

As I have mentioned in another reply, just because you know grep does not mean you should stop there. Especially when teaching others, you should find the optimal way and mention that you _could_ also use grep if you were in a rush.

You could always do things the quick-and-dirty way, but does that help you grow as a programmer? You could write Python code that looks like C, like many people do when they come from a C background, or you could learn how to write Pythonic code by reading the documentation and examples.

> Knowing how grep works lets you do this sort of thing to any program that outputs text.

It's worth noting that I could say the same about strace. Once you know strace, you could run it against any program that uses system calls, which by the way, is many. :-)

> a) people aren't willing to put up with false positives (i.e., adblockers hiding the meme cat photos you were looking for)

You can estimate the actual ratio of false positives by examining existing automation solutions based on image recognition. As a very rudimentary example, I have successfully used Sikuli [1] for various tasks including a program running "binary blobs". Unless you mix contents and ads altogether (and I personally think that it is fine as long as the ad is properly marked! It is at least a kind of contents, just that what I don't want generally though.) you can't ramp the false positive ratio up beyond a certain level.

Small thought experiment: Imagine an agricultural society where the nobility own the land, and serfs work it for subsistence wages only. The nobility largely don't work, and live lavish lifestyles supported by others. Nothing too unusual historically. In those circumstances, is maintaining the status quo the only morally correct choice, and any deviation from that "stealing?"

I don't think it's reasonable to measure a society's morality by its tax rates only or to draw an equivalence between taxes and theft.

It's true that minimal government and taxes worked well in the US's early history. But if you think about it, that was an agricultural society where the main source of capital, land, was practically free. It's not surprising that relatively pure capitalism worked OK then, but historically it seems to have worked out less well in almost all other circumstances.

These days a lot of capital is in stocks in global corporations, with barriers to entry measured in the billions of dollars. It's not as simple as moving to the frontier and finding your own plot of land.

I think an ideal society delivers broad-based prosperity and individual freedoms with a dynamic market economy. And tax policy should preserve incentives to work and invest efficiently. But if there is a conflict between broad-based prosperity and zero tax rates / income redistribution, like in the example society above, the former should definitely be chosen over the latter.

I think going the other way around, rather than leading to a capitalist paradise, will only lead to the rise of ideologies that advocate heavy-handed state control of the economy, probably to the detriment of everyone.
