It's not that simple. Partially, it's not blinded by 3,000 years of what the "right" move is and it makes the actual right move. Thus- human go players will be able to learn from it.
But mainly, it has much more experience playing than human players. Picture a go "savant" who was able to play 2,500 games a day... now stretch your imagination to 25,000 games a day. Now make that 250,000 games a day. Alphago plays more games than that per day against the best player in the world (itself).
It still learns playing against itself all the time.
You can get 25mb for $58 from comcast. I think that's the slowest option any more. They toss in basic cable plus a premium channel for $10 (hard to resist).
The 25mb seemed to have higher latency a couple years ago (you tube videos took a second to start instead of starting instantly) but that's gone and now it seems identical to the normal service.
I suspect they've found that the profit yield curve peaks for them selling $240 packages to the top 20% who don't care about price.
I cut the cord on cable TV and if money ever gets tight, my cell bandwidth is now high enough and fast enough that I'll probably kill cable internet and use my cell for internet.
Cable TV used to cost about 8 minimum wage hours back when it started. And that was with the two premium channels. And it had a fewer commercials. Now it's easy to hit 24 minimum wage hours. And with more commercials.
The LD 50 rating for marijuana appears to be about 1 unstrapped tons in the back of your car. That's one of the few documented deaths clearly due to marijuana. The guy (who was not stoned) was crushed when he had a car accident.
When I started drinking at 33, I had some nasty hangovers. When people start smoking pot- they don't know how to handle it and can end up going to the emergency room because they are freaking out and overdid it.
Personally- I would prefer the high cannibinoid pot available over seas (and MAYBE in colorado) over high THC pot. I like the silly giggly shit vs simply being stoned.
But pot is much healthier for almost everyone than booze is (which is why booze makers donate to anti-pot legislation).
Son, I'm a retired white guy from Texas and I call it like I see it.
Women did poorly on IQ tests because the 3d spatial questions were based on male culture. Vocabulary tests (and analogies) were (and still sometimes are) often designed with very culturally biased choices.
Solve the following analogy
OLORUN is to YEMAYA as Thor is to ??????
No clue what or who Olorun and Yemaya are? You must have a low IQ!
Just like someone failing to answer
Crab Bisque is to Lobster Rolls are to ?????
High income also equates to private schooling and tutors. And $300 calculators. And special summer camps where you learn LOGO as a 7 year old. And being taught IQ and SAT tests.
Low income also equates with people refusing to sell or rent you houses or to hire you- even when you are equally qualified in every other way except your skin is slightly more brown. And to being put in jail for 2-4 years for the exact same crime that a white person is let off entirely without even a jail record (Florida- frikkin 2016!?!?!?!).
You, sir, are a racist idiot. It was clear from your first post.
Go educate yourself better on genetics, biased IQ tests, racism, and get some counseling.
Yes, it must be racism because blacks from european cultures and later immigrants from african countries do much better than descendents of blacks descended from slaves and blacks in southern states.
One of the largest problems with assistance based purely on race is that it means well connected wealthy blacks get extra money while poor blacks (and other minorities and whites) do not get extra money.
Assistance should be based on economic status- not the color of a person's skin.
And many awards have come to recognize that difference over time. The private school educated black daughter of a black doctor doesn't get the assistance as easily as they did with more primitive programs in the 1970s.
Your entire post just reeks of racism and begs exactly the point I was making above. Racists (as you appear to be) argue for changes RIGHT NOW cutting benefits for minorities based on an insufficient and biased set of data and on culturally biased and primitive "intelligence" tests.
Coal is being killed because natural gas is cheaper (thank fracking).
Solar power is already cheaper than natural gas in very sunny locations. By 2020, it will be cheaper than natural gas in most locations.
The real issue is battery technology and durability. Both are improving. An electric car fleet will improve on that further. Rooftop solar will improve on that even further.
The only way coal will get cheaper is to automate coal mining. Which they are already working on. That won't bring back jobs. But it may save a lot of ex coal miners from cancer and various other coal related deaths.
Not really... coal is just more expensive than natural gas.
In at least a half dozen places, coal seam fires have rendered hundreds of square miles uninhabitable. We freak out when nuclear power renders hundreds of square miles uninhabitable.
The trump administration is directly assaulting the Appalachian regions. Cutting jobs programs and their safety net. The proposed republican budget cuts the benefits, food subsidies, and state to state tax transfers which have previously benefited Appalachian regions even further AND gives the money to wealthy people (almost all to the top 0.1%- not even to the top 1%) .
The issue is racists have used psuedo science too many times to justify unequal treatment under the law, unequal treatment in schooling and even eugenics (more than once too).
Good solid science will be helpful. But racists using bad science to justify for horrific evil behavior means we have to use caution going forward.
I *agree* that the far left often suppresses free speech but that is partially due to decades of bad behavior in the past around pseudo science by racists.
A look at "Who Pays: A distributional Analysis" with disprove that immediately.
Fact is that poor people pay a much larger percentage of their income for social security taxes (7.5 to 15% vs.03% for the top 1%), sales tax (7 to 12% (depending on the locality) vs.3%-.6% for the top 1%, state income tax ( about 2% more in most states except income tax free states and south carolina), excise taxes (about 5% to 9% vs under 1% in most states).
If federal income taxes are loaded on the poor, then state, local, excise taxes should be greatly increased for the wealthy.
There is a very good chance that President Trump is and has been suffering from dementia since before he ran for office. If you compare his vocabulary and speech patterns from 20 years ago and today, it's remarkable how childlike he has become and how simplistic he has become. His personality is the same but he's hollowing out inside and has been for serveral years.
Define socially positive- and over what time period? A month, a year, a decade, a generation, a hundred years?
Some things which are lovely short term are destructive mid to long term. Some things which are socially negative over the short term are positive over the long term.
And some things are socially positive for the group while others are socially positive for the individual.
I'm not disagreeing- I'm just highlighting that with a large diverse population- the same action may be both socially positive and negative and vary over time.
We define our worlds. We define what is positive and negative.
Figuring out how to finesse your resource constraints, negotiating to get into the next release, negotiating a shared resource conflict into a win-win situation, building a case for your project's priority and presenting to management is fun.
Yea, Uber established themselves as a lying company that doesn't follow the law or meet it's commitments at least two years ago. I'm shocked anyone would deal with them period at this point.
I think aggressive ticketing and confiscation of the uber cars would be in order.

The amount of junk mail has become staggering.
I should be getting 8 envelopes a month in my mail box.
I get a pile over a foot high. And there have been times critical bills were buried in with junk mail.
You are off by over an order of magnitude.
Cable subscribers have dropped by over 8 million households since 2017.
And the longterm trend is towards the European model with much lower rates of subscriptions except for sports fans.
Business Insider estimates it will cut the value of media companies (esp Viacom) by about 40%.
Cable TV is grossly over priced.
I suspect they've found that the profit yield curve peaks for them selling $240 packages to the top 20% who don't care about price.
I cut the cord on cable TV and if money ever gets tight, my cell bandwidth is now high enough and fast enough that I'll probably kill cable internet and use my cell for internet.

how many heavy pot users die trying to quit.
I'm unfamiliar with any Amy Winehouse type cases amongst pot users.

They are without honor or shame. A bad combination.

Project management is fun too.
Coding is an act of creation and creating things is fun. Debugging is fun.
People come home from work coding and start coding again for fun.
What are these people smoking?
I coded until my hands went. And even despite the pain, I still occasionally code because it's so much fun.
Each movie in the series has been new and different.
it hasn't been the same trilogy 2.66 times.
The last spiderman reboot died immediately.
Hope springs eternal
Which is why I stopped watching Spiderman.
At some point, you need something new or the audience won't care to watch it.
AC makes an excellent point...
Curious as to whether either driver was insured to drive commercially.
Because if not, your insurance would have been on the hook for the medical bills you apparently got lucky to avoid.
(and worse- your insurance may NOT have been on the hook leaving you naked to the bills).
With a company like Uber, that's not enough. You need to have money put in escrow.
Uber will likely stiff you on the contract as well.
/facepalm
You do not 'wisely' pass erratic drivers to get away from them. You stay behind them.
See your story as an example of why you should not do this.
Many accidents are avoidable. Even tho the Lyft driver was not at fault, the Lyft driver could have avoided the accident entirely.
Yea, Uber established themselves as a lying company that doesn't follow the law or meet it's commitments at least two years ago. I'm shocked anyone would deal with them period at this point.
