AlphaGo played a series of online games under the name 'Master' after the Lee Sedol match, so presumably deepmind are still working on it. Id say it's pretty safe to assume that's going to involve a lot of training.

ELO scores can only be compared across a single pool of players, and those scores you linked to are from computer v computer tournaments only. The absolute scores aren't comparable because you can effectively adjust the absolute score

Or they're clever guys and gals who got a bit lucky? Its hard to say what the case is without a more comprehensive audit of the codebases in question.

It seems to me like the point of this post was to clarify whether the vulnerability was being actively exploited prior to the announcement, and I think it does that well. Just think of how easy it would have been to exploit this bug: buy a

Depends on the system. If it's a website of some description you could always generate the password in the clients browser. Obviously you'd then need to be pretty careful to generate your suggested passwords in a secure way, becau

Andrew Gerrand wrote a nice overview of how the go playground works: https://blog.golang.org/playground Im pretty sure the source code is available somewhere, though usage isn't very well documented. There's perio

Id be surprised if there's a really compellingreason to go with gerrit over github in terms of features, but the overhead of switching all the tooling (gocontribute tool, trybots etc.) is probably pretty high. No reason to spend a big

Basically, reputation. Arxiv isn't peer reviewed and thus you get a lot of crap on there (just have a look for proofs of goldbach's conjecture). Because the barrier to entry is low you dont get any kudos for publishing there, and

It's getting there, though admittedly some fields are more advanced than others. Maths and physics are pretty good examples. You have https://arxiv.org/ for open access to pre-prints and overlay journals are starting t

>The only thing good about Go, is being an evolution path for C coders willing to embrace a GC and some type safety. You say that like it's a small thing, but what proportion of bugs in C code does that cover? Im guessing you'd

It isn't a language freeze but a comparability promise. "It is intended that programs written to the Go 1 specification will continue to compile and run correctly, unchanged, over the lifetime of that specification. At some indefi
