Based on looking at the games at the end of the post, it seems unlikely. Both sides play extremely poorly — gpt-instruct is just slightly less bad — and I don't see any reasonable engine outputting those moves.

Also a bad argument: rephrasing GP's "We don't know enough to be sure this is safe" as "This is definitely unsafe".

The raycast probably disambiguated the state pretty well, such that it essentially had to memorize a few hundred actions, so that it did end up basically doing a sort of asynchronous distributed Dijkstra's algorithm.

This is a misleading article in the following sense: the implication is "here are these seven surprising factors that are correlated with successful marriages". Except, in recent decades US divorce rates have bifurcated into two

So yes, they would be runtime errors in Python. But that's not such a catastrophe, actually. The way I write Python is by being in an IPython shell, writing short functions, unit-testing them as I go. So the development-time cost of

Your type checker catches array indexing bugs? Impressive.

Not a book, but Andrew Ng's coursera course (or Stanford class video lectures) are great and have lots of practical tips.

This blog post? http://antirez.com/post/different-take-sexism-it.html I'd be curious how many people here find this beyond the pale. As a data point, I didn't. I don't agree with all of it, but I don't see what part of it counts as sex

I found it interesting that their claimed value of 15-20k a year went unquestioned. At ~300 days a year, that's $60 a day. I'd value free food at a quarter of that at most.

The nice thing is that many commands set the mark automatically. So in your example, there's no need for the initial C-SPC.

The way it works in Jeopardy is that after the question is read, there's a guy who flicks a switch after which the betting window is open (and there's a visual cue so the players know when this happens). If you buzz before that you get bri

How does this compare with OpenCV's existing python interface? The examples at http://opencv.willowgarage.com/documentation/python/cookbook... look fairly simple.

The arguments about mature programmers being more efficient with less time are a red herring. The point is, given this guy working 40 hours a week and an equally mature (presumably childless) programmer working say 70 hours a week, I'd go

I haven't used either of these, but they seem to fill a useful niche. What do you find are the pros and cons of deft vs. org-velocity?

OK, so if you replace his 38% chance of $200B with 28%, the valuation is still $79B. I think the qualitative point about upside potential stands, unless you find it completely unlikely that they will succeed big.

That's an orthogonal distinction. The methods thus far have typically been parametric, in that there's a fixed network topology and the learning algorithm adjusts the (fixed set of) weights on the edges. There's no reason, though, why you

In my experience, the reason is less due to speed and more because there's a perception that training algorithms for things like RBMs still involve a certain amount of "black magic" in tuning parameters, deciding when it's converged, etc, i

To play devil's advocate, the relevant number is expected future earnings, not current ones: at a 0.95 discount rate, $75 billion amounts to an income stream of $3.75 billion a year. Clearly they're not making that now, but: 1) there's a g
