> this has nothing to do with cyborg chess.

From my perspective, cyborg chess is about playing the best game of chess in all time... only stopping once we have discovered "the perfect game" (aka: proving that White-wins, Black-wins, or a Draw is always possible with perfect play)

The computers currently playing Chess, and Go, are incredibly powerful. But they are far from perfect. People have constantly found weaknesses in chess playing programs over the past 20 years, and as a result, have improved chess programs significantly.

Go has only had 2-years in its "cyborg" state, where we can finally use computers as a methodology of exploring the game state.
That reminds me of a story ..

Maybe take a look at Default Folder X or contact the dev to see how they go about this. I think they just inject into the existing implementation, but it might provide a starting point.
Health insurance is the single thing that would sink my finances if I wasn't working. Everything else you can minimize costs on pretty significantly. Health insurance is on the order of $1-2k / month even for the worst plan (family of 5).

I lean right on political issues, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if a Democrat won in 2020 and actually pushed through significant healthcare reform.
>If you say "Oh, well we'll just tariff it!" then the next step would be to ship it to a country without said tariff. That country could then move the goods directly to the taxed nation or it could ping pong a bit till it reaches it's end goal.

Duties are based on the country of origin, a middleman country would have to do something substantial to the goods to change the country of origin (for example taking wafers and manufacturing them into bare printed circuit boards).

Even with a country doing something significant they could still be subject to counterveiling and/or anti-dumping duties for another country. For example the tariff 8517700000 which is frequently used for parts of mobile phones like the screen/keypad/bezel/antenna from say Vietnam are still potentially subject to ADD/CVD for China. Or photo-voltaic cells/panels universally flag as potentially subject to ADD/CVD regardless of the declared country of origin.

In examples like the above two part of the scope of the investigation involves companies in those countries known to use things from CN, such as aluminum extrusions for the 8517700000, that are subject to ADD/CVD so they have to disclaim it on a case by case basis or pay the ADD/CVD charges.

Source: this is what I do for a living and the 8517700000 VN example is actually from this morning with some mobile phone displays.
I'm not demeaning GNOME at all, I'm contrasting against it. GNOME is a great product, but I didn't like that its recent incarnations seem determined to smooth out the user experience by removing user choice. I tried out KDE (having used it long ago) and was very pleasantly surprised to find it both faster and more tweakable than GNOME. I'd expected tweakable, but the performance was unexpected. Plasma is a far cry from the KDE of old.

The GNOME project seems to have made a conscious decision to go for the consumer market, which usually cares more about things "just working" than their being tweakable. That's a good thing - that market needs to be served - but it's not what I wanted. A big part of the reason I run Linux is for detailed control of my user experience, and KDE is the better product in that regard for my use case.
> AlphaZero uses Monte Carlo Tree Search. It definitely has randomness built in.

That's not what MCTS means.

MCTS refers to the bandit problem which formulated the search parameters. MCTS always chooses the "most interesting" path to explore. (Where "most interesting" is the path that balances explore-and-exploit hyper-parameters).

AlphaZero improved upon MCTS by deferring to the neural net as the hyper-parameter. But AlphaZero, for a given network on a given board-state, will ALWAYS choose the same position as "most interesting".

Turning AlphaZero from its current deterministic form into a random form would be an easy fix. But its just one example of how AlphaZero really isn't designed for competitive use yet (despite playing the best game of Go of all time). Instead of picking the top #1 move, maybe you randomly pick from the top 3 moves... or some other scheme.
ISIS was incredibly successful at beating an organized (although not great quality) military with small arms and improvised weapons. A lot of the military equipment they got was stolen. They really may have been able to take over Iraq if a number of foreign powers did not intervene against them.

I am certainly not an advocate of terrorism. But I think recent events show that it doesn't take a lot of arms for a motivated group to overcome a well armed unmotivated group. It makes me wonder what Hong Kong would be like now if 1 in 10 people owned a rifle or hand gun. Probably in the long run the situation would be much worse, but also maybe less hopeless.
What about annotating e-mails? Any tools that can aggregate such annotations with other types (e.g. web)?
I agree. Linus even made a video about his own clickbaity thumbnails. His basic message was "sorry, I know it's dumb, but clickbaity stuff makes more money. Simple as that". If anyone wanted to see what a race to the bottom looks like, it's called "YouTube face".
Programming is a very social activity, though. It will take a while to automate all the non-coding parts. Yes, if you have a set of tests that the program must pass, we might soon see methods to generate code that passes all these tests. But a lot of work goes into translating a chat with a client to a set of tests. Work that might be much more difficult to automate.

You forgot to mention that Crimea Tatars, Greeks, and Ukrainians were deported and murdered in Crimea. It's easy to make Crimea speak any language this way.
However, in times before mass-education was started and official variant of Russian language was developed, the folk variant of language spoken there was called "molva", which now known as Ukrainian language ("mova").
This is the same argument used by some to claim that Huawei is the extended arm of Chinese surveillance agencies (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20366883 ) and I don't think it's very convincing. Work for the government once, lose civilian status forever?
I just don't understand why people think the US military would act in unison. I'm sure there would be factions that would go along in this (crazy and unlikely) scenario. But I'm fairly convinced the larger faction would protect the people.

We had a hard time getting soldiers to kill civilians in Vietnam. We had a hard time shooting others in WWII. How can you convince me that the majority of these soldiers are going to shoot their friends and family? That scenario itself seems ludicrous.
In this case, I'm seeing a lot of similar responses and some simply waiting to push comparative data to later in the day release.

I'd be surprised if most articles don't footnote the newer Threadripper chips or update their articles. I've seen very few articles not comparing or mentioning them at the very least. Especially since most reviewers already had them for comparison. Actual 3950X stock seems to have been harder to come by.
Sure they are.

I'm just not convinced humans are just biological computers and nothing more. The fact that we experience qualia and seemingly have free will leads me to believe there is some extra "special sauce" that makes it impossible for a classical computer to replicate.

I just like Java. I know it well and mainly don't have issues with the problems kotlin is trying to solve. The main benefits I see of kotlin are coroutines (coming to java with project loom) and nullable reference types (which isn't a deal breaker for me).

I also don't enjoy functional programming, I find that it quickly becomes unreadable and kotlin is a weird mix between FP and OOP.

There's a strong argument to be made that the Romans existed as a political entity for 2000 years and that the final end wasn't until the fall of Constantinople in 1453. The last thousand years are mainly a story of slow decay which is why they get lopped off in all the simple narratives about the fall of Rome. If there's anything to be learned from Rome, it's that an advanced civilization can survive almost anything.

> Won't the winner be the one who just takes AlphaGo's recommended move every time without changing anything?

That's only true if AlphaGo never makes a mistake or if AlphaGo will 100% always make the better or equal decision than a human + computer at any given state of the board. I know the former certainly isn't true and I assume the latter isn't true either, but I don't know enough about Go to say for sure.
I would think maps published in a given region pretty much have to follow the political norms of that region -- unless they are specifically meant as a political statement.

Now, if Apple showed Crimea as part of Russia in other parts of the world in response to Russian pressure, then that's a story.
The question isn't whether or not there's a dispute. The question is whether or not there's a meaningful dispute, and whoever's showing the map still has to make that determination. For example, I still hear people calling it "the war of northern aggression" and calling for the South to rise again. Do we mark everything south of the Mason-Dixon line as being disputed by successionists? No, obviously - that claim is ridiculous. But that claim exists, and so you must decide whether or not it is "legitimate". It is exactly the same process as deciding how to show Crimea or Ukraine or dozens of other international borders of varying dubiousness.
AlphaZero does not "smash" Stockfish. In official games they draw 90+% of the time, and stockfish won a non-negligible number of games. AZ is still the "winner" but honestly it didnt seem like a massive leap forward to me.

"According to health authorities, HIV-positive men can father children with minimal risk of transmission to their partner or their baby as long as they have up-to-date advice, support and HIV medications, even if their virus is detectable."

Minimal is not zero. Why should women be encouraged to this risk? There are plenty of sperm donors who are not HIV positive.
Sure, it seems out of character for someone like Bezos to raise an army of armed thugs like you might expect from the Sinaloa cartel. But history is full of wealthy people getting away with obvious crimes. A more likely response from someone with Bezos' personality to some situation like this is taking a private plane to a no extradition country, bankrupt a state with lawsuits from an army of lawyers, or bribing/blackmailing low level officials. Bezos isn't an Epstein, and we did eventually put Epstein in prison, but we knew that guy was raping kids ages ago and the state of FL let him go free under very sketchy circumstances.

The comment about cyborg chess is spot on.

This is why AI is more significant to Go than horses and cars are to running.

It's easy for humans to build machines that enable them to travel faster than they could run, but it has zero impact on running as a sport. The existence of cars doesn't change how runners run. But the existence of AI does change how Go players play.

Now that AI is more powerful than human players in chess, it is no longer possible to reach the top of human performance in chess without AI. That's why this is so significant. It's not that a human can't beat the AI. It's that a human can't beat another human without learning from the AI. You simply can't play chess at the highest levels anymore without playing cyborg chess. This is different from the impact of other machines on other sports.

But I disagree with you on the comparison to how we use the internet to enhance our other abilities, such as programming. Computers help us be better programmers, but they can't replace us. AI completely replaces humans as a Go player. The human is no longer needed at all.

I can see this causing a significantly different psychological response. In effect, a human trying to become the best chess player or best go player they can become is trying to more and more closely emulate a computer that they will never actually reach parity with. Another commenter noted that "A Professional Go player is an explorer of truth in a millenarian board", but this is less and less true as AI improves. All knowledge about the best way to play Go was previously gained by humans. In 20 years, humans will probably be meaningless on driving knowledge of perfect Go playing.

Chess players today rely on playing moves which their opponents don't expect and haven't trained on as much as they rely on outplaying their opponents. If there is a perfect chess game or a perfect go game, humans are not going to help find it anymore.

So AI doesn't make it that humans can't meaningfully compete in games such as chess and go, but it does change how they compete. We no longer drive the pursuit of perfect play as "explorers of truth". We no longer learn primarily from each other, we learn by imitating the more powerful, yet unmatchable, AIs. And we no longer compete primarily on sheer expertise in the game. We have to, in some sense, include trick plays that work by exploiting the humanity of our opponents rather than playing for a platonic ideal of the game and seeing who is better from that perspective.

AI has fundamentally and irreversibly altered these games, and I think it's appropriate in some sense to mourn the loss, regardless of our feelings on the new reality we live in.

> because all software is in one repo

All software is most definitely not in one repo. If it were, people wouldn't have to use PPAs or compile from source and deal with all the problems those things cause.

> better make sure they're the "offline" installers, not those idiotic stubs that just dl the latest version for a server

Oh, you mean the ones that aren't just acting like apt.

> I have a feeling it would be even harder on macOS.

Depends, but MacOS software that uses Application Bundles should be fine. Even a lot of Windows software works fine if you just copy the installer contents to a directory. Self-contained application directories (or single files) are an old as dirt concept that Linux communities never got behind, preferring instead to use overly complicated schemes like package management that come with a bunch of their own problems. So many, in fact, that people are now often distributing applications in Docker images.
Having a kid is hard and usually looks unrewarding from the outside in the US. I get that having a kid isn't for everyone but for a lot of working class people the optics look like a choice between having a belligerent room mate that takes all your money vs. being able to poonhound around on Tinder and blow my money on fun. Some people might choose the former if the outcomes weren't so starkly contrasting. The government needs to be doing more to support families or else we're going to end up in a situation like Germany where we have to import people from abroad just to prevent shrinkage.

The earth resources are stressed beyond the breaking point with the current population.

A declining population is not a problem - except to handwringing economists.

From a human perspective, we need to only have workers to fulfill the production needs of society.

Idk, this is one of the things that don't get me upset. It seems overacted but then again it makes the message pretty clear, which I find interesting for a full time YouTuber that reviews stuff. Usually they try to play nice with everybody and everyone to not ruin potential future sponsorships. Or risk not getting invited to exclusive release events/press conferences. Or not getting those review samples plus NDA ahead of time anymore.
They don't and can't deny the affiliation between Sun Yat-Sen and the KMT since it's clear Sun founded the KMT. Rather, they place most of the blame on Chiang Kai Shek for starting anti-Communist campaigns in the 1920s such as the Shanghai Massacre[1]. Indeed communist members dominated the left wing of the KMT before Sun died.

Mr Money Mustache [1] advocates just investing in index funds. Others push things like real estate. Really depends on where you interests and talents lie.

A common thread that these people tend to find though is that once you've saved up that much money, what you have actually learned is how to efficiently grow wealth, and I have seen very few examples of people actually just stopping there and coasting. Usually they just keep on trucking, maybe shifting into a different field.

I put "I am not conscious, not sentient. The fact that I might so is an illusion, carefully crafted of mere empty manipulation of symbols using statistical rules." into talktotransformer and got this:

Do you have a link for this? I don't be surprised to find out that a press article is misleading, but do you have a link for this?
Yes it is a thing. All these platforms were built on people sharing their thoughts, pics, feelings, etc with their friends or with their subscribers. The platform was built on consent. If you don't like what someone has to say, unsubscribe or unfriend. The desire to deplatform is just censorship.
