If you subscribed to Compute! or Compute! Gazette (Commodore 64), or got one of the programming books, the more complicated programs required that you had to enter eight three-digit numbers (000-254) and a three-digit checksum for each byte (IIRC). Took hours to enter those programs. If you done everything right, the program works. If it didn't work, you had to double check your numbers or re-enter the whole thing over again. Not for the faint of heart!
Is creimer programmed in coffee creamer? Or does he just peel open the little cups and drink them by the hundreds?
Neither. I have a skinny vanilla latte (milk, espresso shot and sugar-free syrup) in the morning and drink water for the rest of the day. If I'm programming at home, I'll drink Diet Pepsi.
What does this have to do with my question about AlphaGo?
Watching Logan's Run would be the most exercise you've had in years!
In addition to walking 20 minutes on the treadmill, I also pulled 75 reps @ 75 pounds and 15 reps @ 150 pounds on the sit-up rowing machine. Not quite ready to pull 5 reps @ 300 pounds yet.
Yes, I'm sure you just happened to meet this "tech" at a meeting, and he had perfect recall of shit he did 13 years ago just to be able to fellate you in a meeting.
The original tech left 13 years prior. The PCs that I replaced were replacements from six years earlier. Most of the techs have been on the job for 8+ years, including the tech who replaced those PCs six years earlier.
True story. But let's look at the historical context of that story from the L.A. Times.
The Leventhal study estimates Japanese investment in U.S. real estate last year at $5.06 billion, down from the $13.06 billion spent in 1990. The peak year for Japanese investing was 1988, when they spent $16.54 billion on U.S. properties.
The Chinese American community comprises the largest ethnic group of Asian Americans, comprising 25.9% of the Asian American population as of 2010. Americans of Chinese descent, including those with partial Chinese ancestry constitute 1.2% of the total U.S. population as of 2010. According to the 2010 census, the Chinese American population numbered approximately 3.8 million. In 2010, half of Chinese-born people living in the United States resided in the states of California and New York.
According to the TFA, smartphones, TVs, Chinese media and electric cars. Initial reputation was "Netflix of China" before they expanded to US. Looks like someone had money to burn.
Hollywood used to wait 30 years before recycling old movies for a new audience. Now they can't even wait 90+ days after the last movie to reboot the franchise.

Damn Creimer what did you do to that poor AC. You are going to have to add him to your foe list. He has a bone to pick with you.
My boner of contention comes from the half-dozen asshats who jumped on Slashdot at 5PM Pacific and start spiking my comments for the day.

You have to be far on the Aspie spectrum to not see the humor here.
You missed the part where I'm ROFL as my comments make you stupider and stupider.

What does this have to do with my question about AlphaGo?
The Internet existed in the late 1980s, Mr "IT Wizard".
That's funny. Web browsers didn't appear until 1995.
Find it at archive.org.
Probably on microfiche at the main library.
Is AlphaGo programmed in Go?
Like, a whole 20 minutes?
That's 20 minutes and 5 minute cool down period.
And 20 minutes... how was your breathing after?
Regular.
You sure they didn't nail it to the ceiling so they could cart your immobile body under it?
Are you that stupid?

Not when I was talking to you, that's for sure.
Fat people make you stupid? That would explain a lot.
I'd bet you are also not aware of the 1925 Wizard of Oz.
Actually, I have. Oliver Hardy played the Tin Man.
So much for your "30 year" theory,
I'm looking forward to the Logan's Run remake, which will be based on the novel and not the 1970's movie..
Shit, don't strain yourself; when's the last time you stood?
When was the last time you asked an intelligent question?
Source it [...]
It's a story I read in The San Jose Business Journal (now The Silicon Valley Business Journal) in the late 1980's (pre-Internet).
I stand corrected.
Thank you for the Tao reference. I enjoyed it greatly!
You literally just said the opposite of what you think you said.
WOOOSH!
You're trying to explain something to creimer?
I understood the explanation well enough, especially since I lived through those times.

Interesting. I wasn't aware that there was a 1931 version of "The Maltese Falcon." The 1941 remake was obviously a lot more successful of the two.
That story never happened.

As for the Chinese, they're outspending the Japanese on real estate.

Was that supposed to be funny, insightful, or informative?
When the Japanese were buying up U.S. properties in the 1980's, a reporter asked them where they were looking.
The Japanese replied, "The East Coast."
"New England, the Carolinas, Florida?" the reporter asked.
The Japanese laughed. "The East Coast of the Pacific."
The reporter didn't understand.
"California, Oregon and Washington," the Japanese explained patiently. "Your West Coast is our East Coast."
Go back to sticking your head into a bucket of Krispy Kreme, you doof.
I hate Krispy Kreme.
East Coast of the Pacific.

You would sacrifice him at the Alter of Youth? His best creative years may still be ahead of him.
