See, I agree with this mentality. I would actually respect Apple a lot if they had just come out and told parents to "just take the phone away" rather than launching a half implemented feature and then forgetting about it. Unfortu

I mean, yeah, like anything there are a million weird edge cases that would take time to code around if you needed 100% coverage. But changing system time and trying to view a video in the core messaging app on the phone, which is marketed

Facebook should be on this list. It didn’t fail as a business obviously. But in terms of delivering on its vision of social networking as a force for good it‘s a raging dumpster fire.

Read the article expecting to find a review of different apps and ecosystems, maybe some big picture thinking. Instead I read a description of Apple products and a sales pitch for OP’s company. Title is perhaps a tad inaccurate.

You appear to be completely missing the point of my root comment, which is that AlphaGo’s tech isn’t nearly as general as it’s made out to be, even if you stick to Go. > AlphaGo can play very well on a 19x19 board but actually has to be

It would change the game but not enough to reduce the performance gap between an expert and a novice. See my grandparent comment for a specific suggestion on which pieces to use.

I mean, if that combination of words causes people to stop making or believing inflated claims about this kind of tech, go right ahead.

Right, which is why it makes sense to apply the word “learning” to what we do. In contrast to “machine learning” which is merely a fancy way to say “data processing with massive compute”.

Interesting. Note that both of those types involve introducing new pieces. I would argue that this changes the fundamental nature of the game in a way that increasing board size alone doesn’t. The reason is that I (as a human chess master)

I’m not aware of 10x10 chess ever being attempted, let alone codified. Here’s my suggestion: add another set of bishops (or knights, or one of each) in between rooks and king/queen. Castling works the same, king goes around rook.
