In the year 2049, we might read the same headline but with a very different meaning.

There's a single machine version, which beats the distributed version 30% of the time. That should be plenty strong to be useful.

I didn't say AlphaGo is essentially the same as Deep Q Networks. I said the convolutional neural network part of it is essentially the same. We agree that the integration of that CNN into the rest of the system is very different.

For AlphaGo, a "pixel" is a point on the board. It uses essentially the same convolutional neural networks (CNNs) that are in state-of-the-art machine vision systems. But yes, the overall architecture is rather different from the

Keep in mind that professionals are counting throughout the game, and are playing to win, not to win by a lot. So a 0.5 point victory may simply mean the victor was confident in their position and chose not to take unnecessary risks.

It means you have to develop your experimental method prior to seeing the data, so you can't try a dozen different ways of slicing that data up until you get the result you want.

Correction: corporations are not persons under the law. Corporate personhood is a notion that gives corporations some, but not all, of the rights of humans (e.g. to enter into a contract). (It's frequently said that the Citizens United

All I can find from that Snowden tweet is https://www.youbetrayedus.org/facebook/ . Are there any news articles explaining what the source of this claim is? That's a big deal if true.

They have added asteroids. And you can redirect them to Kerbin. The moons are on rails though. They can't be moved.

Maybe, but there are no intelligent natives on asteroids.

Wasn't trying to be condescending, but the reason I mention it is that in rocketry, the required thrust is very different (not linearly proportional, I mean) from required delta-V, especially in deep space missions where you have lot

There are many asteroids in so-called near-Earth orbits, with nearly zero delta-V (beyond Earth escape) to reach them and return to Earth. The delta-V is even less than an insertion into lunar orbit. Mostly it's just a matter of being

Can you elaborate on how this could replace proof-of-work in a blockchain context? Certainly I can use records of astronomical observations to prove a message was sent after a certain date, but the double-spend risk is mainly mitigated by t

Objects exist that we cannot see. Those words provoke little controversy when spoken about matter beyond the visible universe. Why? Because the simplest mathematical description we have of the objects we can see also includes those which

Looks very cool. One thing I noticed about the video introduction is the speaker is explicitly talking to the viewer as if he or she is not the target audience, e.g. "while you and I may take this for granted ..." and "the di

In research, Python is extremely popular since all the number crunching is done with numpy or Theano, which use BLAS and CUDA.
