Exactly, I was under GA once. If felt like sugary vapor, and I started to feel funny. Then I blinked, just for a second, and when I opened they eyes, I suddenly felt that I can't focus my eyes and everything is blurry. They told I was out for 6 hours, but to me it was just a blink.
From the paper:

>Humans play StarCraftthrough a screen that displays only part of the map along with a high-level view of the entire map, to e.g. avoid information overload. The agent interacts with the game through a similar camera-like interface

What exactly does that mean? Does it or does it not play by operating purely on image data human players would see on the screen?

How much of the system's interaction with game's interface is learned as opposed to hand-crafred and filtered through APIs?

It's amazing that most people here seem to think that system's ranking in a computer game are more important than its ability to learn from and interact with unstructured data.
Interestingly, everyone I know treats this as just a way to get free papers. There's something about its design that says "free papers", as opposed to "form community". Like, maybe it's logo: "Discover scientific knowledge, and make your research visible."
oh yeah, such a funny and nice idea :)
How is it a bad thing?

The only way to deal with climate crisis is to lower the population of the planet down to one billion. Possibly without wars and famines.

Well, they obviously don't have the training or technology to resuscitate someone who is mostly dead - for this, you need a miracle wizard.
I also have had great experiences on Airbnb, with only a few less than desirable ones, but the fact that Airbnb isn't refunding these people, and not paying the extra cost for the last-minute accommodations they had to take in is extremely disturbing and makes me completely lose faith in the platform.

If Airbnb would take fraud seriously and refund people who have been defrauded on their platform, it would be fine. The fact that they push the risks of fraud to the customer and refuse to pay for reparations is not acceptable.

People have been subverting language for about as long as there has been language. It’s incredibly difficult to police and a losing battle anyway. There are infinite possibilities for encoding other meanings into words, and if two or more people agree out-of-band to use covert communication, you can’t really stop them short of preventing all communication entirely.

I have been launching rockets with my son the last few years, but it was kind of boring after a while because you I thought you can't (legally) introduce any controls. I thought! This has taught me that you can introduce controls for stability. That sounds pretty exciting.
See, what you're experiencing is the transition to what we call traditionally, middle-age, I'm certain. And this isn't necessarily based on age, as much as mindset.

There was a time, in my 20's, that I would drive out somewhere and 'just figure it out' once I got there. Even for work functions or conferences.

Then AirBnB became a thing, and I was even more caution to the wind, because I can book ahead of time, but it's still a surprise, sort of! Best of both worlds!

Now, though, not that far out of my 20's, I'm with you. I'll pay a premium to know that I'm getting something that is agreed to by both parties, with no surprises.
I think it's more about the sexual morals of the countries where the majority of users are located.

That said, I think it's silly. They're a technology company that should be able to come up with a technical solution. Twitter handles nudity just fine.
It matters particularly depending on whether you are a or b after the transition point.

To your consciousness, there is no gap, just the novel experience of watching someone who looks an awful lot like you die.

This could be rephrased as:

Thanks for the kind words!

> Can someone elaborate on how a instruction at the machine level can be "overloaded"? At this machine level how can an instruction be mapped to more than one entry in the microcode table?

Yep! Instruction overloading can occur in a few different senses:

1. As different valid permutations of operands and prefixes, e.g. `mov`

2. As having totally different functionalities in different privilege or architecture modes

3. As being repurposed entirely (e.g., inc/dec r32 are now REX prefixes)

Instruction-to-microcode translation is, unfortunately, not as simple as a (single) table lookup on x86_64 ;)

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how this has anything to do with "cracking" the algorithm, or really with cracking anything.

YouTube openly admits to having a metric for scoring videos, which, of course they do. Then they accidentally, seemingly, leak the scores of videos. It turns out that content that is really successful on YouTube has a really high score. Meaning the score... works.

I suppose there's the question of whether the score is the cause or an effect of the success of these videos, though it's almost certainly a bit of both, since that's how virality and feedback loops work.

No. When I set the value of a symbol in a dynamically scoped by default language, it only affects the closest binding for that symbol.

When I assign in bash without "local", it affects global scope. There is no way to do the corresponding behavior of "setq" in bash.

That makes sense but I guess the question is why? If things work and people are happy with a system, why do the opposite and ruin it? I know it isn't an easy question to answer and could really be anything, but sometimes I really just want to sit down with them and find out why. It is fascinating stuff, but it hurts to think about sometimes. Just because the value of becoming a scammer goes up, doesn't mean we should embrace it.

Elena Programming Manual
I recall using something exactly like that with my iPad 1 in 2010. If I remember correctly, it did work quite well for simple programming related applications.
The normal size of this box is so big, it can carry several autos. When you put passengers inside, there are various required features, such as anti-climb mechanisms [1] to keep the casualties down in a crash.

Selling boxes to the organizations that buy them is different depending on the box. It seems to me that the process for rail cars is much longer and involves more public meetings.

No I only did it that way because I couldn't get it to work with a CNAME file. However, that guide you linked is much more detailed than what I originally read so I'll give it another go. Thank you.
It's meant to operate purely on data viewable on the screen to mimic a human player's experience and provide an even playing ground.
I don’t know, the rest of the developed world doesn’t want to live with gun violence, and they... don’t. Your argument is absurd, though, because most knives and apples aren’t designed to kill people, and serve other purposes. You can prevent access to one thing (like pipe bombs) without preventing access to other things (like knives). As always, intent and purpose matter, and it’s not all-or-nothing.
This system appears to be designed primarily for situations involving pilot incapacitation, not compensating for deficits in pilot skill.
What if a user was planning on importing contacts and using tags so they sign up for the premium account. Then they decide to drop down to the free tier. Are the tags still there that they can see but just unable to add more tags? Do the tags disappear? Or once you have a paid account you can't just drop back down to free?

I always wonder how other app developers handle this kind of thing.
Purely on image data.
Building a rocket or an airplane? There is a lot of work that needs to be done before you can start working incrementally.
Exactly. It is implied (legally for this use case), at least in the United States of America. I don't know about outside the USA.

If I detect breathing or a heart beat, I am required to tap you a couple times and ask if it's ok for me to assist you. If you can't respond, consent is still implied. If you respond with anything suggesting "no", then I am to leave you alone and notify emergency personnel that you declined help.

If I am permitted to help, (you give consent or can not respond), then I must only do things that are within my training. If I step outside the line, such as administering a miracle pill (from Miracle Max), then I am liable for resulting damages. If I stay within my training, then I am protected legally.

> On the high level, there is no "chess AI", "go AI", "image classification AI" and "dexterous manipulation AI". These are all sides of the same coin, that gets significantly better every year.

On a practical level, this is not true. There are different algorithms, different architectures, different hyperparameters required for each of these problems, and often for each subdomain within each of these problems, and often for each specific instance of these problems. It's difficult to draw any kind of holistic picture that combines all of the individual advances in each of these problem instances; that's why progress in AI is so hard to measure, and why a statement like "each of these toy problems...brings us closer and closer to solving the 'real problems'" is probably a bit too coarse-grained to be fair as well.
Who attends these events anyway? What do they say on stage that you can't read off of their website? I lucked into tickets to some event that was near my office to listen to some panel of business titans talk about sustainability or something and it was just some half-baked sales pitches and posturing.
Sorry to be a pedant but since it took me a second to get it at first: "all but gone" implies that they're definitely still here, I think something like "almost gone" or "almost out of use" would be the right phrasing.
Biological signals are very noisy. By contrast, CS signals are much cleaner. Only when CS delves into large volumes of social data do signals complicate. But even then, the cooked events of digital data is much cleaner than the raw signals inherent in bio-data. The complexity, interdependency, nonlinearity, and unknowns in bio variables are frequently overwhelming even for experts.

Success in biological research is driven by the scientist's ability to sort wheat from all this chaff, and it's acquired by gathering the data themselves hands-on in wet labs. A master biologist has learned how to navigate that space experimentally and analytically using techniques they've mastered just well enough to see over the noise.

As someone with degrees in both bio and CS and 15 years of work that crosses the boundary between them, I'm decidedly more in awe of those who have mastered biology.
Fox News has hired many democrats in the past. That doesn't mean their content doesn't meet the same muster of more professional news organizations that don't have narratives that are delivered from the top down.
I'm totally fine with that system, where they can choose to report. But I'm also a guy who's never had to deal with sexual harassment, so maybe it can be already on for non-friends at the least?

It's amazing that a billion dollar digitally facilitated reservation system in 2019 allows for double bookings.
This is actually the first time I've heard of HomeAway, thanks. The only short term rental company I've ever used or heard of was Airbnb. I'll probably be shopping around the next time I travel.
I'm using Airbnb in Paris and Spain in a few weeks - if this happened to me - what exactly should I do ?
I'm really trying to understand what you are saying here. It reads like you are saying that because something is hard it is not worth the effort. I mean would you not expect the benefits to outweigh that effort, or at least assume that this is what the author believes to be true?
>I don't want a refund in either of those cases so much as a place to stay that matches my requirements NOW.

-Don’t get me wrong; I’d much rather have no fuss at all - but when a bad experience occurred, AirBnb were better than I had feared with regards to setting things right.

The double booking was after a ten-hour drive with kids aged 10, 5 and 3 in the back seat. I didn’t need that.

Luckily, the host had friends nearby who shacked us up for the night, so disaster was averted - but this was way out in the Swedish boonies and I envisaged having to drive another couple of hours before finding a hotel.
"smell"

It's not really a cultural fit.

I'll try to say it differently: Sometimes I suspect that candidates are struggling with mental health issues. It's not why we (the company) rejected those candidates. (We reject them because they can't do the job.) But, I suspect if those candidates took care of their mental health issues, they would be stronger candidates overall.

[Edit] I'm not a doctor, so it's not my place to judge or diagnose anybody for their mental health issues.

All they realized was that people wanted Vine, even if it wasn’t called Vine anymore. I still don’t know why Twitter shuttered them, it seems stupid in hindsight.
I'd wager it's getting harder to find because content strategists have figured out that they can pick up search traffic by creating throwaway blog posts about unrelated topics on a site that already has a high domain ranking.

Take for example Game of Thrones. What does GoT have to do with personal finance? Nothing, but that doesn't stop sites like Yahoo Finance from posting bilge like "10 Epic Personal Finance Lessons From 'Game of Thrones'".

Who's going to rank higher on a search for GoT related content? It depends on the search query for sure, but chances are Yahoo Finance, or HuffPost, or any of the other content mills will beat out your hand-coded personal website that probably doesn't even have Google Analytics set up on it.
Toddlers are usually fine - 14-17 year olds (or worse college+) shouting and running - yeah, that's infuriating.
I haven't torrented in a while but I shared a non-piracy one for downloading creative commons game assets with someone about 5 years ago and it just wouldn't go through. I forget the automated message Messenger would give me but it was basically "We think this is illegal file sharing".
I find this list a bit disappointing and not particularly insightful. I think that its because a lot of success is timing and luck (in addition to something being good), so it's like asking a startup founder why their startup was successful and not another.

For example:

- is errors on unused variables/imports really such a bold new stroke or that controversial?
- is a formal spec that unusual? how many Go developers have ever looked at the spec?
- was getting Docker that big of a deal other than having a good dogfooder (vs it being "killer")

I agree with the open source process, kudos for them for allowing the community to help them get things right (well, some things, Go has a bunch of rough edges).

IMHO, its:

- Good runtime perf
- Great built in libs
- Built in cross-compilation and shrinkwrap binary that does not require a runtime installed on target machines
- Good use of opinionated tooling (go fmt, go test, etc) that take a bunch of concerns off developers plates

To be honest, the scientists just need big data + data science + workflows/ pipelines.
Starcraft is a relatively simple game (which is one of the main reasons for its enormous popularity), so seeing an AI do well at it is not particularly impressive.

I'd have been far more impressed had an AI beaten some of the best wargamers at a complex wargame, or had it beaten some of the best text-adventure game players at novel text adventure games neither of them had played before.

The former would be difficult because of the enormous search space that results from the large variety of units, possible actions, and board size in complex wargames, and the latter is from the creativity required to do well at unfamiliar text-adventure games (which are hugely varied and can't be boiled down to any simple set of rules).[1]

Text adventure games would present a further difficulty in that not only do they not have very many players compared to games like chess, go, or Starcraft, but their players aren't normally ranked relative to one another, and there's no enormous record of human-played games to draw on. Further, in text adventures sometimes there are clear winning conditions and sometimes not, and sometimes clear signs of progress and sometimes not. It's also hard to objectively rate a text adventure game's difficulty. Without these features researchers would have a much harder time training an AI to do well against humans.

Another game which I briefly thought about nominating as a challenge for AI's was Factorio, due to its enormous complexity. However, when I thought about it for a little while I realized that this was a game that computers would find it easy to beat humans because they'd do a much better and faster job at number crunching and optimizing. Factorio is really more of a game where a human almost tries to emulate a computer, much like programmers do when they're mentally evaluating or stepping through an algorithm or trying to optimize something.

Of course, seeing an AI beat humans at any of these games would still make the front page of HN, but most gamers (nevermind most non-gamers) who would probably just say "What?" ... and that's probably yet another reason for the reasearchers choosing Starcraft. It's relatively easy, low-hanging publicity fruit, where they could claim success and a relatively large number of people would kind of understand why it was an accomplishment.

[1] - Yes, I'm aware of the recent HN post about fuzzing done on the Z-machines, but by the author's own admission that fuzzer cheated by having access to the game's word dictionary, and it also cheated by having access to the game's internal state -- neither of which a human player would have access to. Also, many Z-machine games are ancient and relatively simple and straightforward compared to more modern games.
That's actually really common for distributed systems stuff as a way to run something in between full integration and unit tests. I think there's some official support for, e.g. local file stuff mimicking the interface of DynamoDB.
No one who wants to talk securely should ever use a facebook-owned channel in the first place.
As long as the network and its weights are open-source, you can create adversarial examples automatically. So the idea is to run the auto-aim bot, but then run the network on your inputs backwards to morph your inputs to look more "human-looking".

Raw Autoaim Bot -> Neural Net (since its open source) -> tweak inputs until its considered a human -> send the tweaked autoaimed command.

I guess I can still be shocked because I still want and believe people can do the "good thing", whatever that good thing is. I can be pessimistic about a lot of things, but sometimes I just want things to be better. I don't know, I want to help fix things but I feel pretty helpless sometimes.
Don't let it get you down, anyone with 12 years is going to have some pluses and minuses, and any good interview loop will ferret out most of both on everyone.

Can you cite something that confirms your assertion?

From what I'm reading in the paper, it sounds like there is some custom interface in play:

>AlphaStar can target locations more accurately than humans outside the camera, although less accurately within it because target locations (selected on a 256x256 grid) are treated the same inside and outside the camera.

It's really hard to parse what such statements mean. The fact that someone who is cited as a co-author of the paper approved the interface as "fair" isn't particularly reassuring.
>A lot of tech companies, including AirBnB operate by passing risk / responsibility off onto everyone else (the host, the customer) and thus saving AirBnB a great deal of time / money.

That's what I've never understood. When uber got big, their argument was "we're not a cab company, so we don't have to work under the same regulations". Yes you are. You use an app instead of a radio dispatch. That's the difference between you and a 1980's cab company.

The entire middle of the country is getting wise to "we're not x" just means "we certainly are x but we're avoiding the liability because technology" and they're getting sick of it.
