Expert systems work very well for well defined problems where experts can analyze their own reasoning without resorting to gut feeling.
In Go playing there was some tentative to create expert systems to reduce the size of the tree but it failed because all of the best Go players were unable to explain why they played this move more than any other move without saying that they feel it was the best move to do excepted for 'technical' move where the complete sequence could be calculated and every variation eliminated like for Tesuji and Yose. The best Go (AlphaGo) program doesn't use expert system but neural networks.
Go study ergonomics. Go measure your biometrics. Go compute the load factors and necessary structural supports. Go design the contours and material attachments required to make something that is perfectly comfortable for you, rather than just cribbing someone else's work.
I have build my own bed. The only thing I have measured is the bedspring I was reusing from my old bed. For the rest, I have put together some plank in a way the my bed look like a japanese bed. (eg: no mine, but similar). What is its load factor? I really don't know, I just put some wood plank together. What where the structural support needed? I really don't know, I just put thing in a way that everything stuck together thank to gravity and need no nails or screws.
Then if it happens to look like a commercial design, you have a nice solid legal ground to stand on and say "I made this on my own".
My bed look like any commercial design of japanese bed for sure. If a company come after me saying I have stolen their design, I still can say "I made it on my own", but if I need to prove that I am fucked up because the only proof I have is my own saying and that will not stand before a court.
If you should remove every pokemon in a zone of half a block around any sex offender, due to the size of the sex offender list there is no more place you can put a pokemon on the map of the USA:)
The keyword is "being confirmed". It take time to confirm that a truck running over people is a criminal act and not 'just' an accident. But in the end this demonstrate that this application is completely un-useful...
One productive use I see is to run this password database against the company logins to check if one is in this list to ask the user to change it. Because sooner or later, and most probably sooner, a hacker will do the same...
I have fought my IT department to keep my 1600x1200 monitor and not to upgrade to these newfangled 1920x1080 monitor for these fucking 120 pixels. 120 pixels are 8 more line of code on my screen.
I did felt for this kind of trap myself. I did bough a netatmo thermostat for my home. I though it was some kind of home thermostat with an integrated web server for use with my tablet. But actually that thing connect to the internet to the netatmo servers:-( I tried to ask on the netatmo forum for information about their politic about the EOL of their products but got no response from them. I really hate that. I am looking how I can revert my mistake (searching for any current reverse engineering project or to scrap the components and its bow (I really like the design) to make my own one)...
$10-$20 is certainly for fedex:) The price range is more in the 4.000$ to 13.000$ per Kg for sending stuff at LEO. It has been said that spaceX could break the 1.000$/Kg barrier.
Well, say that to the Brussels politicians:) They are able to fit bus lane in 1 way streets in some place of the city:-( Brussels is the worst European city when it come to driving and the politician have that capability to make it worst without proposing better public transport:-(
I didn't felt the same this time as in 1997 because this time I was really betting on the computer to win. It is true that most professional didn't have imagined 1/10th of a second that the human will lose any match against AlphaGo due that the state of the art until now in Go AI were at most 1dan AI and it is hard to imagine a leap from 1dan to 9dan overnight. I really enjoyed seeing these games and thank Sedol for the great job he did under such circumstances. And if he think he failed me he is completely wrong, he even surpassed my expectation by beating AlphaGo in the 4th match. There are so much AI actually used in industry that beat humans by some margin in a lot of topics that I couldn't expect that there will be not AI to beat any human at Go.
It is not because you can 'solve' a problem by throwing some machine learning and tree search that this problem doesn't need some creativity to be solved by a human. The human has a very good machine learning capability, but I should say a very limited tree search capability. The human compensate that tree search capability deficiency by its very good machine learning capability and a touch of creativity. I dare you to do an extensive search like deepblue did 20 years ago with your puny grey sponge in between your ears for its first move outside its opening move library and by realizing this feat demonstrate that you don't need any creativity to play any game (in this case the 'more simple' game of chess).
It is not because you are completely uninterested by a subject that advancements in that subject have less "creativity" than in other subjects. I could reverse your 'demonstration' by saying that Einstein did get lucky that some of his results were proved true. He has been proved wrong about quantum entanglement. Should I compare him to Leonardo Da Vinci who was a genius painter, a great engineer and an anatomist and made great advance and publication in these subjects but was also interested in invention, sculpting, architecture, science, music, mathematics, literature, geology, astronomy, botany, writing, history, and cartography.
AlphaGo in its matches against Lee Sedol showed 3 interesting moves who will certainly be studied and played by all the professional Go players around the world for the next years. It is not because you limit yourself to a certain set of problems with the objective to excel at it that you are a lesser being that someone else.
Yeah, but you know, it is the Apache 2.0 opens source license. It is not good enough. Every developper shoud have its name on every newspaper headline for releasing its implementation of the first exercise of its machine learning course under the GPL. He want to put its library against actual behemoth who can do way more and are for some even GPU accelerated. I am sorry, but if the GNU project should promote such library only when it could be compared to other such libraries such as TensorFlow or any other currently available library. I really like the GNU project work, but on this one, they really hurt my feelings about them.
Lee Sedol is actually 3rd and recently won against the 2nd but that's not the point. Should it be a bad thing that human can't beat an AI anymore? As long as there is not AI how think that it should kill off these puny humans, I have no problem with that fact. On the contrary, I am welcoming that fact. There is so much place where humans do not so bad work where an AI could do to the same thing but with far better results (I am thinking about a certain company doing transport like UPS where the routing of the trucks is done manually in 2-3 hours and where an simple AI find 10 to 20% shorter/faster routes in a matter of seconds).
I think that this approach would probably reduce the computing power necessary to go as deep as the current best algorithms. The neural network used by AlphaGo are there to select the best places to search for a position and how deep to search for each of these best places. From there you still use conventional algorithms best appropriate for the game (MonteCarlo for Go, and I suppose some kind of min/max for Chess). For Chess the NN would do the prunning in the min/max search.
Even if a cosmic ray flip a bit and the computer then think it should do some crazy stuff at that moment. 1/100 of a second later it will correct itself and due to the law of physics and the mass of the vehicle nothing will happen.
Or would you also argue to lift any age restrictions on things like driving, so parents can send their kids for driving lessons the moment they've grown tall enough to look over the dashboard?
I have started leaning driving at that age with my father on a deserted WWII airfield. He have done more or less the same with all my brothers and my sister depending on their willingness to learn and being tall enough to see over the dashboard and touching the foot pedals at the same:-)
I see the insurance company fighting to see who is responsible to not pay what they should pay... It is already an hassle when it is clear cut, imagine when the circumstances are a little bit less evident...
Similarly, for my windows account, I have a strong base password (upper, lower, numbers and special characters) and I add a counter after. I just write the current counter under my keyboard. For other company software or machine requiring another credential, I use the name of the system then the same base password and another counter (the counter is also written under my keyboard)...
Under my keyboard, I have: windows: 17 SoftNumber4: 5 Computer3: 10
Yes If they crack one of my password and devise the methodology they can enter in all my systems at work. But I have run my base password against 3TB of rainbow tables (MD5, LM, SH1, NTLM) and the 2014 password list I could put my hand on (25M pwd) with success to have some confidence in it it will not be cracked so easily.
If volvo will try to not pay, then your own personal insurer would have to pay. And because they would not like to pay for Volvo, they will go against Them. 2 behemoth fighting against each other, could be fun to see, but you could wait some time before getting your indemnity except if your insurer make you an advance payment waiting for the mess to sort out...
Some progress has been made on _general_ intelligence but probably not enough for this work. But enough progress has been made on special purpose intelligence who should be able to categorize anyone and send a signal to the intelligence people to keep an eye on these categorized as suspicious. But as long as the false negatives are near zero and the false positives are low there is a possibility to investigate...
I, by far, prefer to have a 'black boxed' AI that go through all that data even if the IA is not perfect. And if a person is deemed suspicious, the IA grant access to the related datas to the authorities. Letting the authorities having unfettered access to the data without any oversight is the recipe for abuse of the datas.
What you don't seems to see is that privacy is freedom. When you lose privacy you lose freedom. For example: your medical condition is your privacy, and say you have a back problem and you can't pull heavy weight. Let's say you want to do some sport like Aikido. You know that if you take care you can do it. But when your Aikido club ask you for a medical certificate for the insurance, you still have the freedom to cheat and go to a doctor who don't know to have that certificate who say that there is no problems at all to do that sport. Now without privacy, your medical condition will not be private and as a result you will have less freedom. Some will say that the doctor is the law and I say that freedom is only used to cheat the law. It is not my word.

That's why in my previous job I always tripled my estimates and made sure that my colleagues make so too.

You clearly never played Go.
