I read it that they divide by an 'index divisor' which appears to be denominated in £, leading to the FTSE being a unitless figure. My point is that if I am right, then the devaluation is taken into account in the numerator and th

Then it would decline due to increased risk.

I believe the FTSE is normalised to another basket of equities (also in £) to account for that. http://www.ftse.com/products/downloads/FTSE_UK_Index_Series_...

I have 8x2.8 ghz Xeon cores 32 GB of RAM and a 970 GTX in my gaming vm. Works perfectly for DOOM, Witcher 3, all at 1920x1080 on high settings (maybe not full but damn pretty). Consensus on the forum seems to be you lose low single digit pe

I've been using Unraid for a few months. It has a different - arguably inferior - parity strategy but has amazing support for VMs. I've got my gaming machine, my GPU dev box and a bunch of smaller services all in the same box and

Apple can free ride on other people publishing and synthesise in house. The field might lose out (but there are always free riders) but does Apple?

Apart from traffic data, where Google is slightly better, maps has been fine for me on ios9 and is better on 10. Apple even learned from the errors they made with the initial launch and have these big open betas for a reason. Safari is perf

Taking that at face value that's amazing.

Good comment - a few thoughts: AlphaGo is impressive no doubt but has DeepMind done anything really key to Google's bottom line yet? A lot of the really sweet stuff they do doesn't have immediate commercial utility that I can see.

That's because they're not intelligent. They're layered function approximators with some specialisations for vision - conv layers. Their structure is designed by humans as is the data they are fed with. Maybe the human brain

I use it as a daily and it's fine. Occasional freezes (a few day a day) and very occasional crashes (once a week or so). 6s+.

They definitely do cause issues - higher risk of exciting cancers and a generally more sickly existence. Studies in IBD have their efficacy at 20-30% of patients in remission after a year so they're only somewhat effective (vs half tha

If your design fails one user, blame the user. If it keeps failing, blame the design.

Bad road markings are very hard for current self driving systems to solve. Your other points back up the claim though - self driving cars need to be compared to like-for-like mortality: same roads, same demographic, similar safety features.

A comparison also needs to include the fact that Autopilot is really only used on highway like streets, which are much safer than most other types of driving.

I'm curious - the author talks about the New Years sex assaults then says it was reported incorrectly, and even quotes something. Is there an article that sets it straight? Wikipedia's article has it that more than half of the cri

From an chat with one of their employees, my understanding is that they have a nice SDK to make it easy for people to write simulations thay scale well, by enforcing some constraints: Dependencies between agents are local and can be express

That was my second paragraph - and to be clear, they don't want to ban it, they want to backdoor it. My idea was that rather than ban it outright and make it like most other internet traffic (decrypted on a server), they could mandate
