Well I mean it's still pretty big though. We know for a fact now that there are only technicalities like fault tolerance in our way. Still you're right though, the race for "fist post" by the media definitely exaggerates

Well to be honest the iq test has always been kind of bullshit imo. It changes with your level of education. In HS mine was 120 and now it's 143 (edit: I actually took that test 4 years ago and 3 years ago I had a brain tumor that left

For those who don't want to read the whole thing. Use your brain regularly on many types of tasks, drink coffee or tea, play video games, exercise, and provide your brain with either proper nutrients or appropriate levels of supplement

I feel like they got heavy inspiration from unity. There is a lot of terms and functions named exactly like and perform the exact same functionality in unity. And having programmed in both unity and unreal I can say they aren't just ge

The new blender is pretty slick though. They have really cleaned up the interface and made it more user friendly and something that industry artists on other platforms will be more familiar with. I suspect we will probably see a lot of peop

That's a nice strawman argument but it's not the scenario actually being played out. People may think that the talk to text option is no different than storing predictive text models on their own phone. That IS technically harder

Probably because the majority of the people using Facebook are neither programmers or employees that handle data so don't know the laws or methods used. So I would argue there isn't common sense around this issue because it's

Yes the state is the entirety of the boards configuration.

by CodiePetersen 7y ago
Then multiply that by how many actions you have per state. We'll suppose 9 because you can only change one tile at a time. Then multiply that by 4 bytes assuming we are using a float instead of a double and you get 4.8 gigs of memory f

Well I don't know about q learning being talked about more but unsupervised reinforcement learning definitely needs more attention in general.
42.
by CodiePetersen 7y ago
Yeah that's a good example. Say for alpha go for instance. Without the DL network the q learner would be massive. And that's just for a board game. Imagine trying to do that for systems like moving human body parts. Every single b

It's not used a lot in ambiguous tasks like image recognition and audio because you would need to have a state for every single possible wave form or image variation. You would have to have a similarity preserving hash or some other re

by CodiePetersen 7y ago
Q learners have always been too brute forcey imo. Every action from any known state gets a value. That will explode on any meaningful task. Its better to use it in combination with some other model that reduces how many states are seen by t

Wow, very cool. I've been wanting to get into hardware for a while now. Well just as long as I have been in programming to be honest which is about 10 years or so now. So as the useful things I can learn start petering off in programmi

Wow, I had read an argument criticising statistcal significance before but it made nowhere near as good of a case as this article has.

Why don't you just talk to them yourself instead of ranting on YCNews. It amazes me how many people don't follow the guidelines on this site and the mods just let it fly. Every single one of the members of Knowm you can directly e

Yes it has been tested in Spanish courts and google news is blocked there.

by CodiePetersen 7y ago
Being that it's the internet you should think more outside whatever country law you are referring to. For example Spain blocked google news because of aggregating the news as is with little to no transformation. Plus moving it to the c

Well this was also on MIT's The Download. So I think more than just HN crashed it.

I think what is wrong with using such data, as I have stated, is that it is used at scale from single entities. If you look at the point of free speech what was it? The point of free speech was that many ideas could be expressed and there w

I never said generic data was the sole item that acheived them their victories. I claimed data was helpful and lead to victories and then clarified data helpful in targeting certain individuals. You claim there is no evidence that data was

I might also add that Robert Mercer donated to both Trumps campaign and to prominent Brexit proponents. I forget exactly who but like I said it's all public knowledge.

Actually you have plenty of evidence. AggregateIQ through data was able to automatically fashion ads tailored at capturing audience members susceptible to certain messages. Leave used that data to campaign and attract voters who otherwise w

I'm suggesting that the bad effects are usually from scale. So the only real effective way imo is to reduce the scale by breaking the companies both horizontally and vertically. Maybe each vertical has two or more companies created fro

by CodiePetersen 7y ago
Well I imagine the immediate downside is having companies that you dont care for trying to influence you with data you never gave them possibly quite on purpose. In the end that's just a privacy concern again. I think the problem is al

I think better and worse are subjective. But the thought reconditioning camps, the concentration camps for the Muslims, and the forced propaganda app are in my opinion pretty bad.

Actually that is a very good point. It is a bit unfair to allow Baidu to operate free outside but hold Google to a certain ethical standard. I had never considered that.

I wouldn't say people don't. I would definitely say HN seems not to care. I think what is more the issue is there are a lot of people on HN who see any criticism of China as nationalistic behavior from Americans at least consider
