I appreciate that you're demystifying this, but you are downplaying the difficulty of keeping 4 tallies with perfect accuracy for 100 steps while processing new inputs every 300ms. That produces demands on working memory and parallel p

I agree that multiplying 42x37 is not difficult. Many western mental calculators can do so quickly. I also agree that grinding, memorization, and tricks play a role in mental math. > the correlation between Asia and mental math + abacus

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 clear

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 version of the other

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 corporation mi

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 Germany (say), i

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 calculate more deeply. Fro

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 -- AlphaGo works a little b

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 unlikely at pro level

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 players come to optima
