Maybe in chess, instead of measuring time, they should measure kJ spent.

- nullc 7y agoStockfish on efficient hardware should handily beat humans even if capped to comparable runtime energy usage. I don't know if the same is true for alphago.
- karmakaze 7y agoPerhaps also true, most of the energy was spent during training.
- nullc 7y agoWell the energy spent creating you across the last billion years was also significant!
- z3phyr 7y agoThen the energy spent creating the machine is always higher
- nullc 7y agoIf you're going to count that though then the difference in energy between the human and machine become relatively tiny and the comparison just becomes a comparison of strength again. :) I think runtime energy is the most interesting.
- bingerman 7y agoI have the impression that at least the training phase of alphago needs much resources to achieve superior results, though it would be nice to see some "exact" numbers. IMO combined limit for runtime+training energy would be the best way to keep things interesting.
- red75prime 7y agoOr maybe they should measure quantity of produced CO2.
