While it seems plausible that the network weights would fall under the "installation information" clause - the intention seems to be to limit this clause to consumer products (e.g. a Digital Video Recorder) and it's not…

AlphaGo Master, unsurprisingly, was significantly stronger than AlphaGoZero. AlphaZero, although it can play multiple games, was weaker yet. In both cases, they compared the 40 block version of the one with the 20 block…

Good question. I'm not a lawyer; I assume edge cases will be decided by the relevant tax authorities. Speculating here, but if there's a single place where management decisions are made, say where the CEO lives, the…
Many countries, and I think most countries in Europe, have language related to "place of effective management" in their tax code. Even a corporation incorporated in Cyprus (say), it could be considered resident in…
How much stronger is a team of top players than its strongest member? I wonder what the best way of coordination would be. Perhaps they can identify several promising lines and each player chooses one variation to…
The games were played with 5 seconds per move for the computer and 30 seconds per move for the human. (Where unused time is lost, not saved). I am not sure if slower time settings favoring the human is still true --…
As play gets closer to optimal it gets more and more difficult to play more efficiently than your opponent. To play so much more efficiently than your opponent to overcome a handicap of 6 stones strikes me as extremely…
I've also been a vegetarian for the last decade and change, and the idea of eating dead animals disgusts me, as does the taste of it. I find it very difficult to understand how meat eaters can manage to get it through…

How do you implement swap if deck is too large to hold in memory?
Don't underestimate algorithmic improvements. Today's chess engines running on DeepBlue hardware outperform DeepBlue running on today's hardware. Modern chess engines are built on a testing infrastructure that makes it…
I get your point, but four stones is beyond ridiculous. Two stones is already a really large handicap. At two stones, Ke would have no chance whatsoever. Games at this level are decided by a few points. The closer two…

I'm not an economist - can you explain why a resource being necessary makes it involve market failure?
It is not religion that is the root of all evil but religious authority. If you are religious but don't give a dime about what the religious leaders claim, then you will never be led down this path. In general, humans…
Thanks to this article, I can finally put into words what bothers me about "Copyright infringement is theft"! Yes copyright infringement share some of the properties of theft, but they are sufficiently different that we…
