My biggest problem with the current way of chess is opening theory. So much analysis is done (especially now that computers have taken over that part), that it has become a game of memory rather than one of enthusiasm, calculation and daring. Springing a surprise 15 moves deep - has now become a brilliance of memory, not of calculation. My suggestion would be - Use computers to run matches - until say 10-20 moves deep, where they give to humans. When it is given to humans, the state should be exactly equal (maybe a negligible advantage to one - whatever it is, it will never be as advantageous as white moving first) Let the humans start from that position, and then play. Remove the gargantuan exercises of memory, and make it one of calculation, mind set and daring.
I have no dog in this fight between American or Chinese politicians. From my neutral perspective, what I felt was that this was Kim's plan all along. NK had a very high percentage of their GDP being spent in military, and it is a difficult thing to sustain. The people were also suffering, and as a new dictator (not accustomed to the suffering of the people as one who has ruled for decades), it wasnt a nice thing to have. The solution to avoid (a) Iraq/Libya like situation - where the ruler is deposed and killed and (2) to improve the lives of people, was nuclear armaments and missiles. Once they have reached a deterrent level nuclear capability and missile capability - the need for a huge military and its associated spending decreases, and more money can be poured into improving the economy. For that, they need to open up the markets also. So, this overture. NK is planning to follow Chinas policy - open economy, authoritarian leadership. And the way to achieve it is through nuclear and missile deterrents - which they think they have achieved now. I feel the other aspects (Trump/Xi etc) doesnt really have much of an impact in this plan.
Not indifferent- we shouldnâ(TM)t confuse the systems that we see now with a post singularity system. To understand the behaviour of the AI then, I did an analysis of the meaning of life - using a theory of information - and I got a concrete answer - that one finds real meaning of life in our relations.
It is based on this understanding that I am suggesting that AI will be benevolent- if the meaning of life for any intelligent system is its relations, AI, being super intelligent, will understand that having deep relations with other objects - in this case, humans - is what will give itâ(TM)s life also meaning.
I actually do an analysis of whether the AI - post singularity - will be a hostile one or a benevolent one. The result of the analysis pointed to a higher probability of it being a benevolent one.
There is a bit of analysis done on the possibility of a hostile AI also. The result was not pretty - at least as I saw it. From my viewpoint, that is a while where we donâ(TM)t stand a chance. That said, as I mentioned earlier, the probability of AI ending up hostile is extremely low though.
I have released a book a month back (UTOPAI) which looks at the social and economic effects of a benevolent AI. What I found was that the current economic system would become obsolete once AI goes mainstream. Even the social structure undergoes a radical change as a result.
The primary focus of the novel is to find a society which works well in such a completely new environment.

Hi Rei, I wanted to contact you personally. Is there any email id which I can use to connect? My gmail email id is rajmohan.harindranath Can you send me a mail to connect?
Why wouldn't microwave (RF dielectric) heating work in this case? That also is uniform, right? And can thaw even bigger organs better. Am I missing something?
But trucks do have a lot more wheels, which means the road wear is 1/16th (for 8 wheels) to 1/256th (for 16 wheels) - right? So the actual price will be about 16$ per mile.
Good points. Another factor which could be looked at is the recharging vs usage capability of a battery. Considering that long distance jets fly in the jetstream, we might be able to use the air flow to generate quite a bit of energy. It only has to be above the losses due to the additional drag, and we might be able to go with lesser fuel than required. Or, in the future, fly through thunderstorms, somehow able to tap into electrically charged clouds and recharge the batteries straight away (using a thunderbolt connector, maybe:-) ). It might not be much though.
Another possibility is that of mid-air recharge. Not attempted in civilian due to the inherent dangers associated with jet fuel, in this case, it is nothing but a long trailing cable which can hook to recharging connectors. The dangers after far less than what one would have from jet fuel transfer.
The point is, there might be many other avenues open too when we move towards electricity. The future seems bright.
Anonymous coward has already given a scenario where even this is dangerous. Say, some over steals the phone, replaces touch id with one which steals finger print details, and puts it back. The user tries to use finger print sensor, it is disabled, so uses pin to enter. Later he steals the phone again, gets the finger prints for his use later.
In my view, any hardware changes should be handled with error 53 on a secure device. If apple hasn't done it, i would be unhappy. Say, screen is replaced. How do you know whether someone hasn't put a screen which captures finger pressing to get the pin. Or any such scenarios.
The best way should be a user setting - which says, for security purposes brick phone once any hardware is replaced outside apple stores. One who isn't concerned about security can then use as you said.
Since they didn't think about this till now, the best option is to brick them now.
:-) Good one. Quite funny too. I don't disagree it looks rather far fetched. But the point I was trying to make was that there are more than one way to skin a cat, even though this way of skinning was rather far fetched.
I started with sub sections which is not very bad, but then went and decreased the size a lot - which might be:-)
They have superb engineers who I guess would have thought about these and far more complex scenarios. A possible solution is to have say - the whole tube is not low pressure - only subsections. These subsections can be quite small, say 5-10 metres wide where they might pull the air out just as the pod reaches that area. Sections covered with maybe small valves which allow the pods to go in - and not air to come in from the other side.
That itself can be done by so many different means Say some help from previously vacated chamber or some other system which pushes the air to some other upper chamber - or many other ways.
There might be many many more far better solutions - this was just 5 minutes guess work.
My point is that - these are amazing engineers, and let us believe in them.
Not that they wouldn't have thought about it, but wouldn't it have been better in that case to make it 50:50 PV:Solar Thermal or so? The PV provides the electricity for the day time use, while Solar Thermal just stores the energy in molten salt. In the night, electricity is taken from the molten salt. Isn't the price difference per watt is so high that it makes sense to have PV along with it?
Superb work, Danielreiterhorn . Amazing work, and amazing, providing it as open source.
Would you mind if I ask for the motivation to put it as open source? When it provides 10-20% compression, it would be worth a bit of money, right. In such a case why are you keeping it under BSD licence? I am in awe of people who do great things without expecting anything in return. Because try as I may, I can never be truly altruistic. So, I try to pick the brains of the ones who are to really understand their motivations.
Are there any hidden selfish motivations, or is it purely altruistic? If I can understand, I will be able to understand a bit more about people. And not me alone, many others in the forum too. Will you be able to help, Danielreiterhorn?
I know it is a long shot. But couldn't he have fainted and fallen - changing many button positions - including this. I am just giving the benefit of doubt - but the prosecutors, having access to breathing patterns, would be at a better position to judge.
It is more similar than it is different. Both uses a set of fins (in jetboil, it is underneath the pan) to effectively reroute the energy that otherwise would have dissipated. Actually, with the fins being on the outside for this design, I think it would be less efficient compared to jetboil.
I do see a lot of bigoted comments in the whole chain. Do understand that all the things mentioned here are part and parcel of developing countries where concept of equality etc takes time to manifest. Since we are going the anecdotal way, amongst my friend circle it is quite different. None of us bar one stayed in America and not because manual work is beneath them. Everyone wants to stay in India now, due to myraid reasons ranging from bigger opportunities, parents a,d relations etc. Similar to Japan being made,fun of and then later respected, I believe similar path will follow for all the developing countries china, India and Nigeria included. Please consider that just 3 years back this same forum used to make fun of code quality etc, which nowadays I don't see. Consider first that humans are equal other than,in the opportunity that they get, then all these things wil be secondary.
Or binary hadron collider? Is it possible to have two circles of say same circumference each and then redirect the electron/protons to a junction between them where it can collide? With such a contraption, we can keep on revolving the protons until it reaches the required speed. Obviously this would have been amongst the first ideas to be checked and rejected, but what are the negatives in this idea?
This is slander. Unless he is tested positive, it is extremely unfair to him and the hours he put in to be labelled a cheat without a shred of evidence against him. Cynicism is all well and good - but this goes beyond that. Shame to the mods also.

True. But, the savings - which starts from month 1 - also has to be calculated with interest component then.

Because road wear is a function of the fourth power of the weight, the fees should be:
A 540-pound motorcycle pays $0.0013/mile
A 3,470-pound SUV pays $0.347/mile
An 80,000 pound semi trailer pays $4,252/mile
But trucks do have a lot more wheels, which means the road wear is 1/16th (for 8 wheels) to 1/256th (for 16 wheels) - right?
So the actual price will be about 16$ per mile.
