that's an optimistic way to frame the situation; there's heavy opposition from the content industry to limits to geoblocking, and unsurprisingly the industry seems to have support within the commission (Oettinger at…
curious: what kind of txt editor(s) would make sense for non-code writing, say a novel, say w markdown or something similar? Especially if the person writing is non-technical so stuff like emacs, vim, atom don't seem…
sounds like General Game Playing task. Well, MCTS alone is often used in that domain, and it wouldn't surprise me if Ke Jie was a weaker checkers player than just a brute MCTS, nevermind any attempts to use neural nets…
Hm, well you are no doubt right that it doesn't generalize well to a change of rules. Reminds me of that game DeepZen played. It was trained with a komi of 7.5 and it played too soft and lost when in the actual match…
> AlphaGo essentially baked good movies into value and policy network by playing millions of times. I don't think that's a very good description of how AlphaGo was trained at all; you're essentially saying it merely…
but humans obtain their watts very very inefficiently, so there's prob at least an order of magnitude to give for the same kind of system-level efficiency. Consider a field to feed a human vs a PV installation of the…
yup indeed; and also it started already in December, not just January as stated above. Should've double-checked my memory before writing stuff...
It absolutely should be dominant in a long game too. Even if it loses some of its strength at such time settings, it shouldn't lose THAT much, it was just too superhuman. The play should be interesting though; Ke Jie…
Nono, you missed the REAL computer supremacy event then; it was the 50ish (!!!) games MasterP bot played in january against the field of top go professionals on some asian go servers. The bot went 50-0, crushing all…
hey, that's not bad; didn't even expect SGU had such detailed transcripts. But actually looking for it now, the particular study I had in mind seems to be from a science or fiction segment from this episode:…
ah, I'm sorry but I really don't remember. this was some years back.
could be, I really don't know. I can imagine perfectly benign scenarios too; if our long-term memory grows with time, maybe there's just more possible connections/associations to filter out with time too, so that…
well, if only categorisation of extremism online were better. Recently I was searching youtube with the word "Lokiarchaeota", an exciting very recent find in the origin of the eukaryotes, hoping for a scientific…
Why? Its supposed to be significantly more efficient, given that its breathing air for launch which enables much higher specific impulse than anything a chemical rocket even could do, and it'd have the operational…
I dont want to go look it up to verify and properly link a citation etc, but I think Schumpeter argued that monopolies are actually good for innovation, at least of the (what's the term?) big bang, fundamental kind,…
The device really should implement speaker identification before accepting commands, yeah. Seems like a task a machine learning focused company like Google really should be able to accomplish.
> The US certainly has many issues, but I find calling it a "Police State", while praising the Islamic Republic of Iran in the same sentence quite ironic. you mean, praising it as a tourist destination? How's that even…
I'm also missing a lot of context here, but I was looking at the leter and she says she's especially sorry she slandered John Sullivan and Ruben Rodriguez. Wondering exactly how she slandered those two people in…
> Does anyone know? Is the claim that this is definitely bacteria, and not Archaea? Shouldn't really be either; this should be quite a bit older than Last Universal Common Ancestor and hence older than the…

heh most things are, but I cannot see what complication you may have in mind relevant here. Vedas don't have any authority in buddhism, just like in other shramana religions, and seem their claim to traditional…
afaik there was never any influence of hinduism on Japan at all - barely a contact with it before late 19.century and modern ways of migration. And it would be the height of irony to call buddhism a vedic religion, as…
A rather similar hardware with a recent version of the same program plays on the KGS server. Seems to be about what would be 10d and is among the top players on the server (was 1., now seems to be 3.). You can see the…
sounds plausible, yeah. Looking at wiki on demographics of yugoslavia, croatia, serbia and bosnia is a bit interesting; 81', which appears the peak, has yugoslavian as the ethnicity of 5.4% of yugoslavia total, 7.9% of…
A Croat here; I have no idea what you're talking about; Who the hell are Yugoslavians? Where does this ethnicity live? Before the breakup of Yugoslavia, some people identified as yugoslavian, yes - as one might identify…
