Not so clever. Calgary is also full of Canadians. I have no idea what you are trying to say. Actually I would challenge you to point out other cities in Canada that suffer similar amounts of homelessness, poverty, and crime.

I'm a little bit worried about this, actually. I've been to Vancouver and it wasn't a very pretty sight. The amount of homelessness and crime is 10 times more what I've seen anywhere else in North America. There's a

Democracies are always local. Was the US a liberal democracy during WWII when it cluster bombed Germany and Japan? Think about the context here: how South Korea in the 80s was treating its own people. Israel is a democracy within its local

If we go back even further, Korea as a whole was under Japanese rule. If the US negotiated with Japan instead of going all out, Korea wouldn't have to be split apart to begin with. Also, if there was no South Korea, then who knows, may

I think that's never a good excuse. Arab states use Israel's existence as justification to military dictatorship. Saddam also used the threats from Iran (which were very real). Meanwhile, Israel managed to develop into an industri

For the game we should use "Go/Baduk" or something like that.

I don't think that's necessarily true. When I started learning to program I didn't have it "broken down" for me to the tiny tiny details. I just read books/tutorials. I think it's the same for most of the

This module is a joke, right? Right?

I suppose in this case "less is more". More often than not, if I'm working on a windows machine, I'm not programming in C. I'm probably working on something in C# or Java. I don't care about the C API. I just w

Interesting. I think though the difference with chess is there's no simple known heuristic to evaluate a board position. AlphaGo does it with a neural network, and as far as I can tell, it seems to be doing a better job at it than top

I could be mistaken but this is what I gathered from what the people who worked on AlphaGo said in various interviews and videos: AlphaGo does not use brute force at all. It uses a neural network to find interesting moves, and this in effec

This YouTube channel has very useful and informative content. A caveat: the presenter there has a very thick Chinese accent. I personally have no problem with it but some people have commented that they can't understand what he's

Exactly what I thought after the third game. I now think that a professional like Lee Sedol would have a better chance at beating AlphaGo if he has three hours instead of two. AlphaGo's advantage seems to be the ability to read more va

As far as I can tell from watching Redmond's commentary at the time, there were other options for white in the area.

The game seemed to be going in AlphaGo's favour when it was half way through. Black (AG) had secured a large area on the top that seemed nearly impossible to invade. It was amazing to see how Lee Sedol found the right moves to make the

It was stated by one of the developers that AlphaGo doesn't play to maximize the number of points it wins by. It's satisfied to win by one point. It maximizes the probability of winning. It plays thick moves and tries to simplify

Until someone brings a link from MIT's website, I'm calling bullshit on this one. This sounds like what pops up every other day in Egyptian newspapers about genius Egyptian kids who invent this or that. The theorem stated in the a

Well they wouldn't really be three lines if they all go from the same point to the same other point. They would all be the same line. Unless the language of math does allow "references" like programming languages. All you nee

It seems to me that AlphaGo's main strengths are: - It doesn't make mistakes due to pressure or fatigue; it's always playing at its sharpest - It can read deeper than humans can - It seems to have better judgement than most c

At least in the case of AlphaGo it was pretty clear that it was dominating the board early on.

I meant the effort required to clean up the situation and turn off the plant.

Seems to be playing at super-human levels. I'm no where near a strong player but it seems like AlphaGo is far ahead of Lee Sedol.

Am I correct in assuming that the cost of "fire fighting" the situation far outweighs the value of the energy generated from the plant?

This reminds me about signalling theories in animal mating (reminder: we are animals too). For example, the idea about the peacock's tail being a good signal precisely because it serves no other purpose (and in fact can be a burden!).

Do you think 13 year olds should be treated like 5 year olds who are not suitable to do anything except having people laugh at their reactions?

Well obviously it's reduced to actual algorithms. The point is, the programmers don't quite understand what exactly are those features that the neural net is seeing.
