Actually it was a bunch of Phd students from some Californian Uni that discovered the vw diesel scam. There is a short documentary about them online. Elon has no credit whatsoever in dieselgate.

However, he did make electric cars something an average person would like to have. He also chose to make it work using the same inefficient principle of hauling 2 tons of steel to transport a single person. What he made is an electric luxury car, not a car for the masses that can replace average Joe's car. Is there anything wrong with that? No, there isn't, but let's not pretend a $35k (in US - much more in EU) car that requires hours of charging after driving 250 miles unless you happen to have Tesla's superchargers on your way is a new "volkswagen - a people's car". Also I find it disingenuous to advertise full battery capacity while at the same time recommending people use only 60% of it "for longevity".

Many people don't buy new cars, but choose to buy 5-8 year old cars that are really good value if they were maintained well. It remains to be seen how Teslas behave in that market.

It would be really revolutionary if someone could create and market an electric car that was truly innovative for example: much lighter than current cars while still being safe during collision, use fuel cell technology with fuel such as methanol or similar that can be created in a sustainable way, even using a fuel cell with mined hydrocarbons and electric drive would provide for a huge reduction in emissions due to increase in efficiency.

Do Teslas have a role to play in reducing emissions? Yes, definitely, but let's not present them as a single solution to all individual transport problems.
On many newer CPUs, the memory for the update is volatile, so it gets rewritten at every power-on. That could be done by your motherboard or the kernel of the OS you are using.

Also by purely framing it in terms of business, you are in danger of making two errors:

1. Assuming all business has the same needs, and all business owners have the same perspective.

2. Much more importantly, business is just one factor of the national life affected by the split, and - as pointed out -has a natural tension with other issues like rights and standards that you haven't addressed.

Out of curiosity, are you also one of those Westerners who also criticizes China for being authoritarian?

It's because I'm trying to understand the logic of those who feel like just because an action has been performed by a certain government, it therefore must be logical and ethical 100000% of the time.

I could point to examples of times where private organizations defied specific government orders because they felt the order was unjust, but I have a feeling this wouldn't be a sufficient argument for you.

So, Person2 acknowledges the importance of Person1's work but then publicly passes judgment on the manner in which they presented it as a way of dismissing Person1's main point. Person1's behavior would be widely ridiculed and probably booed if this happened at a conference.

The more professional approach is to simply present one's case without commenting on the quality, style, or manner of the other's presentation.

My two cents, best of luck in your studies :)

Alphago and it's kind are doing some things that we do, for sure. We do utilise pattern recognition and some of the neurological tools we bring to bear on these problems might look a bit like Alphago.

The thing is those are parts of our neurology that have little to do with general intelligence. I think it's becoming clear that they are merely cognitive tools we bring to bear in the service of our higher level general intelligence machinery. In that sense high level Go and Chess players turn themselves into single-task solvers. They're better at bringing that experience and capability to bear in other domains, because they have general intelligence with which to do so, but those specialised capabilities aren't what make them a being with general intelligence. Or if specialising systems are important to general intelligence, it's as just a part of a much broader and more sophisticated set of neurological systems.

As far as I know the only software that really wants it is SAP HANA.

I think you're right to bring up the NFLT, but I don't think it is applicable, it just points at the real question.

The key assumption to get the NFLT is that each environment vote has the same weight, i.e. we are targeting a uniform distribution on objective functions / environments / problems / whatever you call it.

If you break this assumption, you get an opposite result which is that search algorithms divide into some equivalence classes determined by the sets of different outcomes (traces, if I remember the theorem's description) that you discriminate between.

A uniform distribution like this is actually a very very strong precondition; it implies (looking at results about the complexity of sets of strings, since choosing an environment is like choosing a string from 2^N given some encoding, etc) that you care equally about a very large number of environments most of which have no compressible structure or equivalently have a huge kolmogorov complexity. Most of these environments would not have a compact encoding, relative to a particular choice of machine, but we are weighing these the same as those environments which are actually implementable using less than a ridiculous amount of storage to represent the function.

The reason why I think this is too strong an assumption to use is then that we don't care about all these quadrillion problems which have no compact encoding - we know this because we literally can't encounter them as they would be too large to ever write down using ordinary matter.

Allowing for this, talking usefully about evaluating an AGI or equivalently a search strategy or optimization algorithm implies having an understanding of the distribution of environments / problems we care about. I think capturing this concept in a 'neat' way would be a significant contribution; I had a go during my PhD but failed to get anywhere. Unfortunately things like K-complexity are uncomputable, so reasoning about distributions in those terms is a dead-end.
I wonder how these people have decided it is possible with a digital computer, given that the brain is analog. I wouldn't be surprised if the first step through AGI is to actually crack the analog computer hardware problem.

I just finished my PhD.

My first half was with a supervisor similar to what OP described. Fortunately I was able to transfer halfway through to a much better supervisor. I have seen both sides, having a good supervisor makes a massive difference.

Even so, now that I am finished, the emotional drain of the first two years and lack of time to properly recover has left me completely BURNT OUT.

OP, please take the advice of musicale, it is EXACTLY RIGHT.

I am a little dissapointed to find many comments here putting the responsibility on the (prospective) PhD student. I'm sure this is the case sometimes. In my case I was absolutely happy doing independent research at all times in my life apart from with this horrendous supervisor who, at all turns, made it difficult to do good science.
She says that they are “delaying justice” by taking their grievance to “the courts”. I read it as a condemnation of the courts as an obstacle to her view of what justice is.

not quite, this analogy won't fit, in the process of Peer Learning, it is more about discovering together, facilitated by resources and experiences that you can share with your peer.
Are you familiar with the development process? Like, do they one day go "ok we are gonna build a dns into systemd now, let's open up the RFC for that, print it out and stick the papers on the walls gogogo" or is it like, "let's incorporate vital parts of state of the art into our project" ?
Here the neural network was given examples of how to use the calculator for each question which means it wasn't generating it's own abstractions.

If you wanted to use this to solve other (e.g. programming) problems you would need examples of every step required for almost every problem.

Using neural networks in this way is akin to locality sensitive hashing, instead it should understand what it's lowest level operators do and discover useful combinations of them that can solve new problems.

I don't get why devs work so hard on their project/tutorial, only to be lazy on the last step (publishing/announcement) and give away their content to be published on Medium.

> DRM for datasets isn't really a thing, since to explore, visualize, and train on them, you need access to the raw data, and then instead of your machine-learning function you can just pass the identity function to get the raw data.

Functional Encryption[1] is aiming at this exact problem. It's still really early stage, and it currently has a lot of caveats (the current algorithms are really expensive and only able to work with linear function AFAIK), but the field is moving rapidly, and we don't know how far it will get. There's also Fully Homomorphic Encryption [2], which is way cheaper and more versatile, but in that case, only the owner of the data can get the result of the calculation.

None of this is currently used at scale, but their is a lot of research on this field and some PoC are being built at Microsoft and IBM IIRC. There's also Cosmian[3], a French startup working on this topic. (Full disclosure, I know the founders)

> It's too expensive to buy a diamond and promise marriage just to string your girlfriend along [...]

Q: Is it just me, or does that statement sound like it fell out of the 1950s through some kind of wormhole?

In no particular order:

* If the girl asks the guy to marry her, are we to understand that he should expect to receive a diamond ring from her, to somehow seal the deal?

* Why should it be the guy "promising marriage" to the girl?

* Why should it be based on "guys" marrying "girls" at all?

However, the scientists at Johns Hopkins University have studied the effects of psilocybin on terminally ill patients for their death-related anxiety and a psilocybin-induced spiritual experience seems to alleviate it.
