they haven't been implemented yet though, I think That's kind of a show-stopper, then. Saying that Bitcoin is an alternative to Paypal for these kind of Kickstarter-like efforts is just disingenuous and exposing your "custo

It's nice to propose Bitcoin as an alternative, but there's no "they didn't make it so you get your money back" system like pledges, is there? Also, I don't see how they qualify for PayPal donation status as a

I'm a bit shocked that this works even on Debian. I don't understand how it is possible without Debian violating the patents.

Why? Firefox has had WebRTC support for a while. Edit: Ok I see below you want Firefox to give you access to the users microphone without asking permission.

I'm guessing the problem is that it's encoded in H264, which isn't available in Chromium due to patents.

HTML5 doesn't support live streaming That's a very bad way of stating it. It's perfectly possible, and "supported" even though there is no "use this thing" solution for it. The problem is that you can&#x

Same in desktop Firefox. Does the attack not work against Firefox or did he mess up the CSS?

Needs you to give your email address. Also I see no references why it would be scientific, most certainly not the "Science Behind The Zone" part. This is spam.

Web Audio has been supported as of Firefox 25 or something: http://caniuse.com/audio-api It never had a proprietary API, their proposal for WebAudio just lost out to the Chrome proposal and the latter was standardized.

You need a Xeon v3 for the ECC support, basically. Also obviously getting ECC ram for stability and getting a K series CPU for overclocking is just an incompatible mindset.

That is how the Firefox implementation works. And the DB is local, the server is only checked on hits.

The feature is still in Firefox for Android. "Text Reflow" in settings.

What you say actually makes no sense whatsoever. What is forcing you to consider 1 second windows? Also, 48kHz is 2^7 * 3 * 5^3 so it actually avoids the larger prime factor of 7. Not that anyone cares: just use an actual power of two as yo

Also I waste considerable amount of time trying to do things in the most readable, maintainable and simple way possible. Is waste really the right word here? They don't see how many hours I have wasted, how unmotivated I am. Inste

Those rulesets weren't written by mathematicians. What do they say about life & death disputes while scoring "after the game has ended"? I'm going to guess: Resume the game. Humans agreeing on a score and outcome has

by rockdoe 12y ago
Scoring is trivial - if the game is actually finished. No human wants to play go games to the finish so essentially all human games are scored by agreement. But a Monte Carlo program just simulates the game vs itself. See the addenum to my

I guess the remark comes from the "perhaps infinite" proof game. I don't know why they put "perhaps infinite" there as most Go rulesets have rules against repeating board positions.

Anyone who has a modest understanding of chess can codify very simple rules for identifying a winning endgame. The exact same thing can be done in go, scoring a finished game is trivial. The strength of the program simply isn't det

by rockdoe 12y ago
Not sure what you mean? That's exactly how go programs work today. They don't need to play out the games with an optimal strategy. Just an unbiased, sufficiently random one.

It depends on what you consider "teach to play Go". Priming the pattern databases using existing games is a pretty typical strategy.

I would also note that Monte Carlo is by definition a heuristic method - it is statistical and not guaranteed to be optimal. So is the endpoint evaluation in chess programs. This isn't a difference between Go and the other games. (In
