I think this is a strange reason to retire and as the article points out it might also simply be due to the legal conflict he is currently in with the KBA.

Chess engines have been defeating humans for 20+ years (and are overwhelmingly stronger for a long time), but that hasn't diminished the interest in competitive chess, because the human element of competition and struggle and deep fundamental appreciation for the game is what makes it worthwhile pursuing.

AlphaGo can play go but it cannot appreciate the beauty of the game (at least as of yet, and I don't think it would make the game worse if it could), and so I don't think there's a meaningful conflict between humans and machines.

If someone invented some sort of superhuman math proving engine tomorrow it would not diminish the beauty of maths and I don't think anyone would quit the field. Just like in chess it ought to motivate people to understand their field better.

> It wont understand what it is to be human and mortal,

But it won't need to. All it will need to do is manifest the same end-product via whatever means, no matter how vacuous or computational that means may truly be. The suffering of an artist is relevant only inasmuch as it is responsible for producing the art. If the same end-product can be manifested via a mere computation then our criteria of "art" is still satisfied. In a world in which provenance cannot be established, the ostensible mortality of the artist becomes moot.

They're still referring to them as "orders" regardless as to whether you define them as such or not.
Here's a concrete example:

Maybe the three most noteworthy things are:

1. it's not hard to write your own nix expression

2. you get a reproducible build

3. there are very powerful hooks to allow you to easily customize derivations by various means (look at some more complex derivation, like php, which defines dozens of options and there are other mechanisms as well).

1. Brew also has, but not 2 or 3 (it's definitely more customizable than say debian packages, but much less so than nix)

The FAO report says, roughly, that climate change will have strong adverse effects on crop yields but this will be offset by growing industrialization.

Tesla's revenue last quarter was $6.3 billion, so this amazing $25M interest-free loan is the same amount Tesla earns on average in just under 9 hours.

There could be any number of reasons why Tesla lowered the deposit amount. Either way, the purpose of a preorder is likely to gauge demand and not to guarantee sales. Of course the conversion rate won't be 100%, but 250k deposits is a much more promising signal to Tesla than 100k or 25k.

Counter-intuitively, I wonder if this has contributed to jupyter notebooks' popularity. You write your program in pieces (cells) that you can run independently; modifying, going back, rewriting, and rerunning bits on the fly. Which is hilarious to me, since the usual kind of debugging is so painful in jupyter. You could imagine an alternate history where we had amazing debugging and jupyter never got quite as popular. Hell, maybe even REPLs wouldn't be as popular.

And my boss knows very well that he's getting me cheap, so never gives me any static. I think he'd come mow my lawn if I asked him. :-)

Full disclosure, I've never played go in real life. In fact only a handful of times on the family computer back in the early 90's (i486). Back then I had 0 understanding about the complexity of the game but now I can appreciate it.

> said his retirement was primarily motivated by the invincibility of AI Go programs

I have a slight problem with that line of thoughts. Yes, there is undoubtedly a program that is thrashing humans left and right day in and day out. But I don't see why that would motivate someone to quit/retire. AI, in this day and age, to me at least, is still basically curve fitting. The fact that humans have figured out to do that in N-dimensional spaces (even with very large values of N), does not in any way undermine someone's effort and time dedicated to learning how to do a task. I'm sure that in several years someone will build an "AI" that can drive a modern Formula 1 car and it will smash all records and the best drivers without any efforts. And when that happens, should we abolish motorsports? Or sports in general? As humans we are confined to the limits of our biological abilities and personally I'm fine with that. I don't know who the first trillionaire will be, but I'm willing to bet that someone who figures out a way to interact with those models efficiently has a good chance. Essentially build a fast, all-accessible interface between the biological and digital world, which doesn't involve the traditional digital inputs(keyboard, screen, mouse, etc), and you have access to a decision making superpower at your disposal 24/7. When (and if) that happens, this is where games will cease to have any point. That's when it will boil down to who has the best hardware and software running along them rather than who is the best. Until then - game on!

All due respect to the scale that FANG/FAANG employees work at, but I can't help feeling completely disconnected from this person's situation (being an "exiting high-level former-FANG employee with ridiculous compensation"), and like they come from a completely different walk of life/world.

I mean, I work in a global corporation with 6,000 employees, and yet I am not experiencing a financial/social/career status that I think this person is.

And then, I realized that, minus the "FANG" part, I can't think of a single person I know in tech that hasn't asked the same question about "burnout" at some point in their career.

It's amazing what different scales we work on.. but yet the same common human concern seems to be there. I don't really think it's specific to tech either, but it seems such a common theme in tech.

I wonder if "burnout" has something to do with the fact that tech/digital work involves so much repetitive mental labor (much like repetitive physical labor also causes injury if not managed).

EDIT: Or maybe this person is simply questioning their mission in life and finding that money and status isn't enough. If one persists in this condition long enough, performing repetitive labor without inspiration, maybe that is what causes the injury.

Taking your numbers for granted, that would be just the ongoing replacement costs, not the capital costs.

Current capital costs are about $200/kWh. Daily global energy use is about 400 TWh. That would be an 80000 trillion dollar battery.

The number is so large we just can't build it, so it's actually infinite. It also doesn't take into account land costs, because these batteries will take huge amounts of space. It's also only for 1 day, and there will surely be multiple days where wind and sun are below 20% output, so you'll need to accept periodic blackouts.

I'm going to copy-paste a comment I wrote a year ago because I get tired of hearing this BS. As far as I can tell, "on board" is just code for "remain poor while we keep the status quo".

India and China both have leadership that acknowledge the existence of anthropogenic climate change and is taking active measures. That would seem like table stakes but unfortunately we live in a world where that's not a given.

India produces 20% of electricity from renewable sources, not including large hydro[1]. Including large hydro, it's 29%. In comparison, the US produces only 15% from renewable sources including hydro[2] which, of course, has lots of environmental costs before any energy generation begins. This is admittedly a meaningless factoid but still kind of cool - India has 5 of the 10 largest solar power stations in the world, more than any other nation.[5] The Delhi city government has made it mandatory for government and public institutions to install rooftop solar[6]. This is on top of a government program that provides subsidized loans for rooftop solar on factories.[7] There's plenty of other renewable energy, rainwater harvesting, and recycling programs at various levels of the Indian government - federal, state, and city. I'm not saying all of them will work (it's the government, after all) but it's solid effort, and hard cash being put in.

Gasoline costs USD 4.55/gal in Mumbai today[8] - compared to around USD 3.50 in California, which already has the highest gas prices in the continental US. Due to the lower average disposable income in India, this means motorists prioritize fuel economy over comfort, and even safety.

India's annual population growth rate is 1.10% - a shade above the global average of 1.09%[3]. It's also been steadily dropping for decades and that trend is expected to continue.[4] China's population growth rate is 0.41% - lower even than the US.[3]

The only way India and China can keep from increasing their emissions is by stopping their economic progress. This would effectively keep their respective populations poor, undernourished, and lacking modern amenities such as healthcare, transportation, or entertainment. So what do you mean by "on board" exactly? What other shining exemplars of environmental rectitude can one point at to persuade India and China? What other nations have made, or committed to make, similar lifestyle sacrifices?

It seems clear that bots will dominate humans in many/most competitive closed-world games over the next couple of years:

They are already unbeatable in perfect-information games like Chess and Go. They could crush human motor racers tomorrow.

They will be unbeatable in games with limited information (Dota/Starcraft) within months.

The next frontier is donkey-space games like rps, poker and day-trading (https://universalpaperclips.gamepedia.com/Donkey_Space) where they are already beating pros. It may be another couple of years before they totally dominate here.

> How did that work in China?

China is mostly what I was referring to, honestly. An iOS device that can run five secure-messaging apps instead of ten is still better than an Android device that's been potentially wiretapped during last-mile delivery to the customer.

(This is the same reason that contracts from Western governments propped up RIM for a while, before Apple became a viable replacement for them. A US government official could trust a Blackberry they acquired in China, far more than they could trust a regular Chinese cellphone.)

> More to the point, companies are not nations or governments. Having agendas for countries is not their place.

Companies (at least S-corps) don't have agendas per se; but their employees, as citizens of countries, certainly do. When everybody behind the design of an iPhone lives in the US, you'd better believe that the iPhone is being designed to put forward an implicit "agenda" carried by the cultural beliefs of citizens of the US, whether Apple-as-a-profit-motivated-corporation likes it or not. (You know how there's a recent trend in the US with corporations adopting social-justice messaging in their community guidelines? Think about how that kind of support develops in a corporation, and then replace "social justice" with "foreign policy.")

Yes exactly this. Information technology has improved at a totally crazy rate, and I think it's unrealistic to expect safety and sanity to keep pace, The internet has only been around for 30 odd years, and getting all this right takes time. To examine another technology, the automobile was invented in 1885, seat belts were invented more than 60 years later, and it was another decade or so until they were made mandatory for new cars (in the US at least).
