At double-digit kyu level, you should just play every day until you feel you are stuck. After you get stuck, you should pick one thing at a time to focus on improving. But the one thing should probably be related to tesuji or life and death

Traditionally, handicaps are usually given in the form of extra stones played on the board. This is a coarser resolution than points, with one extra stone in the opening having a strategic value of about 13 points. So he probably couldn&#x2

Leaving aside the question of whether the universe is discrete or continuous, a simulation would still have lower "resolution" than the real world, and some information can be lost with each time step. To compensate for this, it c

The article is about (position, move) pairs. Why not call these objects "steps"?

In what sense is looking at a screen a failure to prepare for the world that adults navigate? Adults also look at screens.

Are you planning to decelerate by crashing into the planet at relativistic speed?

I guess you mean k log k, not n log n.

What's so difficult about optical links from deep space compared to low earth orbit, where 200 gigabit throughput has been achieved? Is it just the attenuation? I would have imagined that we could upgrade the communication equipment on

That is not strictly true. The weather at time t0 may affect non-weather phenomena at time t1 (e.g. traffic), which in turn may affect weather at time t2. Furthermore, a predictive model is not working with a complete picture of the weather

So to summarize, the game tree complexity is estimated by estimating the branching factor and the game length, and raising the former to the power of the latter. I find it slightly odd that the game length is calibrated to "reasonable&

Seems like no collision is detected if you move the ball through the cloth fast enough.

ISTM that's just an a priori feeling. The value or lack thereof of the product totally depends on how accurately it predicts human survey responses, which you can't know without looking at the data.

I think a median rating of 5 stars makes sense for a taxi service. You want the rating system to be able to express varying levels of bad. There are many levels of bad outcomes for a car ride. There are not many ways to improve on the media

I am not a vision expert, but simply matching the resolution of your display to the resolution of your sensor wouldn't necessarily produce a clear image, unless the pixels are aligned to the sensing elements. By analogy, if you resize

The `find_item` example uses List for an argument. To my thinking, this indicates that the function is intended to mutate the argument. I don't think that was the author's intention, though, so I would prefer to use Sequence in th

This is just a guess, but I don't think there's such a deep lesson here; language models and image models have simply been developed by mostly-different groups of researchers who chose different tradeoffs. In an alternate history

I'm not sold on the concept of AI-hard or AI-complete problems. For example, the Wikipedia article on AI-completeness mentions Bongard problems and Autonomous driving as examples of problems that might be AI-complete. OK, so if I have

This seems not quite right to me. A Turing machine may always halt, but with time depending on its input size. The input can be arbitrarily large, so there's no finite bound on the state space.

A small latitude difference does not imply that you can ignore curvature. I am just guessing, but perhaps your intuition is that the shortest path should lie along a line of latitude. An easy-to-see counterexample would be two points close

I think that's not a bad summary, though? Perhaps you would say it is a probabilistic next-token chooser, but that just seems like a very minor distinction.

Assuming all values are unequal, there are n factorial (abbreviated n!) possible cases that we need to distinguish. If we are sorting by comparison, then each comparison will eliminate at most half of the possible cases. So we need at least

There's some older work as well. Geoffrey Hinton's team used deep belief networks in 2006 to generate "handwitten" digits: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~hinton/digits.html

The result actually doesn't depend on any special properties of social graphs. It works for any graph that has a component with non-constant number of edges per node.

They could be overfitting somehow, but I don't see how you get that from the quoted paragraph. Of course they need to use the same subject (i.e. human brain) for training and testing. Otherwise one would need to assume that different p
