You make good points, but there are a few factors you have to think about. First, the built-in AI has been designed by people with great knowledge of the game and its strategy. The fact that a totally generic AI system with zero knowledge of the game can learn on the fly and beat the hand-tuned AI is pretty impressive.

They were training online during gameplay, so each round started fresh with an untrained system.
They did, and using the manual improved performance considerably.

from the gold standard

Such as having to give the Saudis, and now the Chinese, all our gold. Instead we give them paper, and they then reinvest that paper in:

* internet companies
* enron
* property
* banks
They aren't more capable, but at least they are able to take responsibility. Banks will be nationalized the minute they look shaky. Local governments will be recapitalized, and the leaders might get punished. But there won't be as bad a crisis, because someone will foot the bill.

OK, it will cause a moral hazard. There will be a big need to reform. But there already is a big need to reform. And I think there's already a commitment (from the top, and from the general public) for reforms.

Plus, it's easier to grow when you are under 1/5th the GDP per capita.
Fashion trend
Drop Dead Gorgeous Daily is the largest online source to find style advisor, fashion tips, fashion trends, glamour magazine and much much more.
So, i agree, and i disagree.

One of the important points that i think people are missing, is that family and close friends are going to be the ones who can detect the onset and severity of problems. They should inform their doctors about this (and to some extent this woman did with the "spidey sense" thing).

Doctors are not in a good position to tell how far out of the norm a child is in terms of their daily life, unless you and your child see that doctor on a regular basis. It may very well be that one's social network (especially if your social network is lucky enough to include a pediatrician and a cardiologist) who are familiar with your child may be better suited to picking between two overlapping diagnoses.

Given the prior probabilities, and no specific information or identifying features doctors are going to err on the side of the most likely symptom causing disease. In this case, if it looks like strep, and the doc has no further info, it probably is strep.

tl;dr: You know your family better than your doctor does. Your doctor knows medicine better than you do. :P

===========================================

All that said, I think it's important to note a few other things. Generalists (general practitioners, pediatricians, ER docs and the like) and Specialists (cardiologists, for instance) have different biases in diagnosing. If the author's friend had been, i dunno, a dermatologist rather than a cardiologist, she may have offered a different, and likely incorrect suggestion for diagnosis. Hard to say.

Doctors, like any other science can have biases (i do not mean that in the pejorative fashion), especially when it comes to identifying rare conditions/circumstances.

Lastly, this is really social networked medicine at it's best. Mom has a sick kid, she's snapped some photos to text to her doctor, why not post them for her friends (who have medical expertise) to look at too? As in the ideal case, the concerned friends with medical experience followed up with mom to keep abreast of changes in the kid's condition, and upon noticing that symptoms were not improving, and were perhaps getting worse, suggested that (out of an overabundance of caution) that mom needed to take kid to hospital.

In that regard, none of the behavior here is outrageous or egregious (except that her husband is a bit of a knob).

The patent system had an important purpose during the industrial revolution, and I believe it still has a place for "hard" innovations that require years or decades of research before becoming marketable.

But for trivial cases like most software patents, it is just something to prop up the established big companies (and keep lawyers fed) at the expense of emerging players.
I know that a lot of HN'ers are looking for a way to contribute to open source projects, so here's an opportunity to do that without coding.

Transifex is about bringing open source projects and translators together. Developers submit content they need translated (source code, documentation, etc) and translators simply help out.

Some well-known projects are Fedora, Django and Bitbucket.

> The Smartest Man in Europe Is Very Cautious

I first thought it was going to be an article about Grigori Perelman and about how we are all one step closer to Apocalypse because he was very close to finding that there is indeed no foundation for Mathematics (or any similar conclusion that is way over my head in even trying to explain). Instead I stumbled upon an article about a rich heir to "a mercantile family" who talks about money, money, money. Not that's anything wrong with talking about money, but if that's we consider as the "smartest thing" in an entire Continent I think we have a problem.

The vast majority of HN readers do not have CS degrees. In fact a very large portion of HN readers do not even identify themselves as programmers or "hackers." That said, I don't believe people with CS degrees are particularly better commenters than people without them. Microsoft is just a touchy subject for many geeks. Much like Facebook and the meme that our privacy is in danger, or advertising -- it generates nerd rage.
Thanx... and must say its awesome... Really, the annoying layout of TC now dumped into the gutter for good.. :D

Yep, life as a developer in Europe is a lot less problematic, even though pay can be lower.

Of course the potential downside is that a patent troll can still block your sales to USA, or even get you into the situation where you can't travel to the country.

Small risk to take in exchange for creative freedom, I think.
U.S. dollars are also a bet, you know.

Interesting. It can't seem to find a feed on https://grepular.com/ though. Is that because it's https?
You're right, that's what they do (mostly). That doesn't mean they're not useful. Plenty of services have been creating around "reorganizing" (more efficiently) sources of information. Also, once you get some volume of events and user info, you can do more interesting things with this data.
You just go the whole way up to the root node counting parents (taking max length when there are many routes), no problem with amiguity. The problem is - it's slow.
If the margin is lower, then you get more for investing money in Google.

I don't have a Facebook account and I'm not on Google+, so I can't really evaluate the tool from a personal perspective. But I find it weird, that I get some recommendations if I click the "recommend" button without entering any URL at all or complete garbage. You could add some form of input validation to see if users entered a valid Facebook URL. If a user enters his Facebook URL in a wrong way, he will get some results, but these recommendations are not based on his profile.
It would appear to me that multiple commits in a branch can have the same generation number (see the diagram in http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg161165.html ). So unless your history is linear, using generation numbers in human-to-human communication may get confusing really fast.

I'm currently in the process of building a migration path from our two different older PHP frameworks (MidCOM and Midgard MVC) to Symfony2, and I've really been impressed by the community.

They seem to be very receptive to new ideas, and passionate about code review. I've received lots of GitHub comments on my bundles even though the commenters probably would never actually use them.

And when I found an issue in Symfony2 itself that made integration with AppServer-in-PHP harder, Fabien fixed it within the hour of getting reported.
> Now, you could imagine an interface where you interactively select the pieces of the diff when committing

There's no need to imagine -- git-gui and git-cola can do this.

http://cola.tuxfamily.org/

Click on a modified file, select specific lines from the diff, right-click, and click on "stage selected lines".
So when someone overseas hacks thousands of medical records and posts them online (essentially a permanent archive because it will get saved and reuploaded over time) because of a guaranteed security hole somewhere among the numerous layers, how will that be undone? Who will go to prison? and will it change anything?

Some things should not be on the internet. Military secrets and medical files are two of them.

Can you imagine the nightmare if our nuclear silos were built today and powered by Windows and linked on the internet because it was more cost effective for the lowest bidder?

I think the natural next step of "UNIX pipes and filters" is Flow-Based Programming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow-based_programming). Processes can have multiple named input and output ports, and data flowing between them can be objects and other data formats.

In currently building an Open Source FBP tool called "NoFlo" on top of Node.js, and at least the initial results of building websites with it are promising.

For the content management API, have you looked at Content Repositories? There are pretty good specs for standard content management APIs for Java (JCR), PHP (PHPCR) and Node.js (NoCR).

The REST API alternative, CMIS, is unfortunately a bunch of committee-designed mess.
I just loaded the page, the last thing to load: post titles. Simply amazing that they don't see this as an issue.
If an email account can be used for password reset, a compromised email account can be used to log in. Since much of the internet already works this way, the proposed system has a neutral effect on security, while making things easier for users.

In effect, any site that offers a password reset via email is already using your email as your identity.

Agreed. These are the same Chinese authorities that refuse to publish key economic statistics, or blatantly make them up. They also have trouble keeping track of government debt -- just this week there were reports about regional government loans that have been kept hidden. And then there's the housing bubble developing in the major cities because it's been so easy to get private loans the last two years.

Chinese officials can do many things, but they aren't magicians, and won't be fixing anything overnight.

I like the feature-as-app paradigm, but the article says nothing about the underlying API. I have used a CMS the last couple of years at work, where documents are stored as JSON files on the server using WebDAV protocol, which off course is totally REST based. Access control is done using the PROPPATCH verb. The CMS is named Vortex, developed at the University of Oslo and has an open sourced license. Too mee this API seems to function better than the usual custom made REST based API.

I'm amazed at what people in the US earn. Seems like the Netherlands is a developing country after all.

I'm rather certain that my employer rates me in at least what you describe as the "under 100k" range, but I earn 40k euros per year.

Do you guys all go on holidays to Latin America 3x per year? And have six broadscreen TVs? And villas with seaside views?

Or is a 1 liter bottle of coke just also 10$ in the US?
The gold standard was not the cause of the Great Depression; the collapse of the investment bubble created by the Federal Reserve, along with the interruption of international trade by the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act caused the initial problem. Subsequent interference in the economy by both Hoover and FDR extended the problems.

The gold standard merely prevented the government from inflating away the dollar and using inflation to hide the consequences of other bad policies. Its a form of discipline that the founders wisely put in place to prevent the disastrous policies that many other governments have perpetrated throughout history.

But now the constraint of the gold standard is off and much larger bubbles can be created.

The supply of gold changes very slowly. The vast majority of all gold ever mined is still part of the supply. Its the manipulation of the value of paper currency that causes demand for gold to fluctuate.
What are you talking about? Banks already are 'nationalized' for all intents and purposes (rather, they've always been under central leadership). And that's exactly the core problem with the debts owned by Chinese banks comes from.
Um, no. Japan's economy has been stagnant for close to twenty years now. China's economy has plenty of growth left in it.

Although you're right that much of the scared-of-China crowd are just people who've transplanted their fears away from Japan.

HM The Queen's visit to Bletchley Park is wonderful.

It pays tribute to two different groups of people: those that worked at Bletchley Park during World War II and those that worked to save Bletchley Park and honour the memory of the work done there.

The story of Bletchley Park is the story of a battle of minds that supported and helped guide the physical battles of World War II. It is the story of one part of the start of the computer revolution. And it is a story of the power of diversity: the people who worked at Bletchley Park were drawn from all walks of life and brought together because of their ability.
Yes you are right, I suspect my guess is only part of the equation. Google must have shifted something as the article suggests.

It's funny that the US is spending so many billions of dollars trying to sabotage Iran's economy and nuclear plant, when the country poses zero threat to the US, and the US faces enormous fiscal challenges.

When I write funny, I mean utterly tragic, wasteful and a result of a relentless propaganda campaign which has resulted in every political candidate falling over themselves to prove how committed they are to facing down the menacing Iranian threat.

I worked on this project doing most of the input coding (XBox 360 controller & keyboard), some of the game loop & networking, and some of the game play. If you have any questions, I'll try to answer as best as I can remember -- it's been a few weeks since I've worked on it.

Elliott's site seems to be down, but our code is open source:

http://code.google.com/p/blackthorn-engine-3d/

You'll find our project development notes for the class (status reports, some of the initial planning, final report, etc.), along with the code, screen shots from various points in the development, etc.

A lot of things are probably still a bit messy there; we only had 10 weeks during the course to hack the engine together. (Although I believe Elliott's been continuing work on generalizing it since the end of the school year.)
Hackers have two reasons for staying up late working, and both of them are because they couldn't get the work done during the day:

1) Distracting work environments. One person commented on your last post and advised you to read Maker's Schedule, Manager's Schedule, so I won't tell you to do that. But be aware of it. A door that closes, quiet neighbors, few meetings.

2) Guilt/determination. If a programmer for whatever reason is having trouble making progress during the day, but is dead set on shipping, they may stay up late to try and make it up. This is a good thing for you as a stakeholder, because it means they care. It's a bad thing because something is holding them back. Usually this thing holding them back is some repeated obstacle that drains their willpower. That can be a variety of things: bugs when you have bad debugging tools, figuring out how to do something without quick-feedback access to documentation/expertise, running tests when there's a twenty-second compile cycle that has to complete first, working hard to add a new feature and then losing it because your computer freezes and you don't have version control, etc. Note that 1)is actually a subset of this, as it's "getting your brain ready to code only to have it interrupted often," but since you can probably control 1) directly I gave it its own listing.

#2 can be hard to tackle. How are you supposed to find better debugging tools as a non-technical business guy? And how are you then supposed to go about telling your tech cofounder how to do his job? I don't know what the answer is. Likely it's that you should buzz off and go do customer validation or whatever. But maybe not.

In general, I agree with Rework on the early-to-work-early-off-work schedule, but the way to achieve it is to figure out the reasons the night owl thing happens and address them, rather than to try and force everyone in the 9-5 bucket. Shape the peg to the hole, THEN put it in.
Yes, the abstract thinker does hold onto more actual knowledge then the concrete detail thinker. Breadth really does outway depth in terms of true thought, but in the mechanized specialty world of now limiting the brain to be concerned with only a certain set of repeatable, hard to perfect or continually repeat procedures is what is rewarded for most people. We don't pay you to think, ya know ;)
Maybe these are mobile searches.
Depends I guess on how often one reads finance articles. There's nothing new in there, there is an entire 'school of thought' that has been saying what's in this article since 2008. New economies are the future, fiat money is bad mmkay, US and Europe don't have enough room for growth to out-grow debt.

The appeal to authority with the Baghdad real estate deal is one of those tell-tale signs of a sensationalist article. If the building in case had been blown up and nothing could have been recouped because nobody wants to insure a building in Baghdad, nobody would've ever heard about the whole deal. Survivor bias at its most obvious.
