Actually humans are now able to defeat the bot that won the Arimaa challenge. In games like this: http://arimaa.com/arimaa/games/jsShowGame.cgi?gid=628806&s=w

However, there is also a new bot that has been trained using the self play method and has been crushing the bot that won the Arimaa challenge. In games like this:

Yeah. In Czechia we can use the card to open the enclosed area and use the ATM.

> I never had an ATM refuse my card, tho. The worst was some steep fees (see below).

I have never seen a Czech ATM that can't handle literally any card from planet Earth, meanwhile the first German ATM I saw has been MasterCard only. And then the second and the third one as well, I was not amused.
The problem with doing this is you end up with a bunch of tools which may or may not have unexpected behavior depending on how you ran them. It's better to have a simple design that just works one way, and you're forced to use it in the one right way. When users invariably use it the wrong way, the reasoning about the failures is simpler, and there are no extra bugs from the extra lines of guard-rail code.

If you really wanted to add this 'protection code', you could make a bash wrapper around every Unix command that has its input or output connected to a tty. Not perfect, but it would eliminate a whole lot of extra tty-checking code from every app, providing a single reliable interface. I imagine you'd turn it off after a while, though.
Yeah why else would someone need financial privacy.

I trusted that some committee somewhere was trying to make an honest go of it with this Internet thing [1]. With the selling of ORG, I lost some trust in the administration of the domain name system. Most people already knew anyone could register a .org domain. That really wasn't the point.

Another couple of differences: No support for rr because of some lack of performance counters[1]. I also found that lm-sensors can barely see my AMD Ryzen at all, missing all core temp information.

Did you mean to imply we are consuming crude oil "orders of magnitude faster than [reserves are] produced"? Because that isn't true - the amount of oil "known reserves" is how much we've bothered to find and figure out to tap thus far, but whenever it seems like we might be running out we just go find and figure out how to produce more such that total known reserves are approximately stable-to-mildly-increasing.

Here's a plot of known oil reserves since 1980:
https://www.indexmundi.com/energy/?product=oil&graph=reserve...

Does a similar plot exist for helium? My impression is that helium reserves are low because the world hasn't been trying very hard to increase the amount we capture as a proportion of the amount we could capture.

We have no scientific evidence of any process in and brain or mind which isn't computable in the sense of Church/Turing. On the other hand I personally feel that I experience episodes that couldn't be computed, but I struggle to articulate the smallest parts of these. One is the small creative epiphany of writing, the structures of with can be created computationally, but the turns of sense and narrative don't seem to me to be the outcome of functional transformations.

I know that others will hold to the idea that they are and could be, but to me that renders us as zombies, and that isn't satisfactory in the sense that while a zombie that acts like a real person would be evolutionary fit, I see no reason why the zombie should believe it has free will, or could, and yet I do.

While early-millennium filesharing was useful for finding obscure content, the stuff available wasn’t up to the standards of professional archivists. In the library world, there are strict standards for how information is to be ripped, encoded, and tagged, but the content on filesharing networks seldom lived up to solid archival standards.

That is a very naive view of private equity buyouts.

The domain business of .org is run by Afilias, they pay about $2 per year for a domain. That is a extremely low price and it would be very difficult to manage to get a lower price anywhere. In fact Afilias might not be motivated to continue with such a generous price if they are a for profit registry now.

In reality value is created by private equity buyouts through an aggressive use of debt, which provides financing and tax advantages and freedom from restrictive regulations.

For western people(and also most of indians) who want to judge for themselves based only on verifiable facts should read http://www.ambedkar.org/ambcd/02.Annihilation%20of%20Caste.h... to get the incentive model of hinduism and the varna system which is advocated by Vedism. Varna system is basically providing right to people based on birth. At the top of the hierarchy is the Brahmins(priests) . Most of the first generation hindus who you might encounter in America will be most likely to be Brahmins. This was because only Brahmins are allowed to get education according to varna system which was followed until Britishers came to india and setup schools for everyone. My great great grand fathers owned 600 acres of land but did not had any education. They were okay with it because the people at the bottom of the hierarchy are not allowed to own lands. The varna sytem is setup in such a way that by honoring it one gets more rights that the lower hierarchy but lesser than the higher hierarchy. At the top there was Brahmin(priests) who enjoyed all the rights and who had lot to lose with the fall of varna sytem. So that is the reason you can see all the Brahmins support Hinduism even if they dont believe in god.
My understanding is that being a non-profit simply means the organization can never pay money out as shareholder dividends.

This is not the same as the organization can never end the year with more money in the bank than it started. This is not counted as profit, it's simply money that must eventually be spent for charitable purposes in later years.

Large amounts of money can enter the organization, but it can never end exit. (Though, there are some loopholes, like admistator salaries)

I manage campaigns for a local, independent contractor. The business runs ads with a meager budget, <$500 a month. At the same time, clicks average around $5. The conversion rate hovers around 15% for those within the service area. That's a cost per conversion of ~$30.

For those who are outside of the service area it's less than <1%. While it may only receive a handful of clicks from outside the area a month, it eats into the already minuscule budget for the long shot of a person who decides to look up the service while on vacation or visiting relatives. It's not efficient ad spend for a business like this.

A SaaS business is a different case, but this issue is persistent and getting worse.

Never rely on Google Ads to be honest. They are unlikely to respond at all.

After spending ~100k, our ads randomly stopped working last month without changing anything. Support took 10 days to reply saying the account was up for a review (no notifications sent, no indicators). Yet, it still wasn't working.

Booked a consultation with one of their so-called "Experts", he couldn't find anything wrong and suggested to contact support again.

After the initial 10 days response, still waiting for a reply from so-called support 20 days later. I'd assume support only exists for companies that spend millions a year.
We have no way of predicting that physical process (not by a very large margin) so reasoning about it that way is quite useless. The inability to predict (perhaps) deterministic physical processes is randomness and (un)luck.

It is maybe predetermined since the beginning of the universe how (un)lucky I am if only we could track every particle since the big bang (or whatever booted up time and space) but that is not very helpful if the economy crashes and I get some horrible disease just when I launched my new venture.

Wasn't this just a presentation providing generic blockchain information? I don't think he's being accused of advising on how to use the blockchain for any specific illegal act, let alone a "sophisticated money laundering scheme".

From a brief read through of the government's case, it seems their case rests on the accused doing the presentation despite having privately admitted to his friend that North Korea is likely interested in cryptocurrency to avoid sanctions.

See this:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EKkbzzYWwAAdAqa?format=jpg&name=...

tl;dr: In a response to a question about why he thought NK was interested in cryptocurrency, he is alleged to have said "probably to avoid sanctions ... who knows".

So it was his alleged belief that they would probably utilize the general information on the blockchain that he would be presenting for illegal purposes that made his giving of the presentation illegal, according to the government.

That the discipline of physics doesn't study everything doesn't entail that everything isn't physics. The title of the OP doesn't refer to the discipline.

As for your other points, I'm familiar with the debates on physicalism in their various forms. I just believe most of them are elaborate semantic games with very little actual content.

That people will ask what it means for everything (or anything) to be physical is precisely my point — stating that "information is physics" is a vague and (in my view) probably empty/tautological statement if you don't explain what you mean by that more precisely.

When I read aazaa say

> What I find inexcusable is climate activists who assume that people who are skeptical of the link between human activity and climate change are idiots. Those claiming the link have the burden of proof, and they've done a pitiful job of presenting the actual evidence.

I think thats the actual complaint. Consider the essay The Categories Were Made for the Man[1] written by psychiatrist Scott Alexander about the phenomenon of gender dysphoria and whether we should use people’s preferred pronouns. The essay includes this paragraph about the opposing position:

> I take this argument seriously, because sticking to the truth really is important. But having taken it seriously, I think it’s seriously wrong.

This attitude seems to be what aazaa is seeking: one which takes seriously its burden to pursuade.

> a large portion of the frame time in that demo is spent in browser code, recalculating styles and redrawing

This was my point actually, not that React adds no overhead which of course it does.

Updating a property on a bunch of DOM nodes, without actually waiting for their effects to be applied by the browser, is of course very fast. But the browser code (reflow, paint, etc.) is part of the frame budget, and the number of nodes you can change – accounting for those changes actually appearing on screen – within that budget is embarrassingly small regardless of whether you are doing raw DOM operations vs. using a framework like React.

It doesn't really count to say "ah yes, but the code that technically made the update was fast!" when the updates haven't actually been committed to the screen yet.
"There have always been paradigm shifts, therefore there will be more", isn't that the very definition of wishful thinking?

Jancovici's proposal isn't to artificially limit growth, it's to do realistic accounting. When you pull out a barrel of oil from the ground, you gain something (in GDP, etc) but you also lose something. If you never account for the losses in biodiversity, resources, clean water, etc then you can pretend you're "growing" while actually having net losses accumulating.

I have a hard time explaining to my children how addition of fractions work. Not how to do that, but how to feel the intuitive way. And percentages, to some extend.

My children like me to explain them physics because I love it so much and they appreciate the analogies, their limits etc. It is just these freaking fractions and their convoluted addition I do not know how to properly convey.

a) How do we know these clicks are bad? A sample size of 3 is pretty early to make any conclusions.
b) If clicks are not delivering value, advertisers should lower their bids. As Google encourages advertisers to switch to bids set on hitting ROI targets, what really matters to advertisers is that they achieve their targets. If the clicks are "bad" and conversion rates are poor, then bids will be adjusted down, presumably by everyone.

The fact that prices are set by an auction makes the system inherently sustainable unless you think many of the bidders are irrational.
To me it shows that you shouldn’t try and violate economic sanctions against countries like North Korea.
