I didn't love it tbh. I had the canvas up in half of the screen and was doing something else but would look over too early then just be waiting for x seconds for my next pixel.
Congratulations on an excellent event, and I look forward to next year's. The codebase should be more settled then and hopefully you'll manage to get a decent amount of sleep, unlike this time.
I play Go, and have since I learnt about the game when it was discussed in my Computer Science degree course (then computers were considered 50+ years away from beating humans).
Overall, AlphaGo has been a good thing for human players, with it validating a lot of what we thought was right, but also that some tactics we'd thought not worth playing do work out. Having a superhuman, free advisor has made improving much easier.
The negatives include that there's less individual style amongst those that play like AIs, and also that it's easier to cheat at the game.
As in chess, humans have been outclassed by computers in Go for years now, but that doesn't stop us playing and enjoying it.
One effect of this is that someone steadily editing got more pixels than someone editing in batches, which felt like a feature when defending against trolls.
Humans can't beat AI at Go, aside from these exploits that we needed AI to tell us about first.
Lee Sedol managed to win one game against AlphaGo in 2016 (and AlphaGo Zero was beating AlphaGo 100-0 a year later). That was basically the last time humans got on the scoreboard.
designing something that Mozilla and Meta are simultaneously happy with is a good indicator we’ve hit the mark.
I think that's true. I trust Mozilla, based on their statements and their actions, and I distrust Facebook for those same reasons. Compromise is the only path forward, despite those who argue we should reject anything that's not perfect.
No ☹ When they said they chose that species because "they favoured the bricks as a habitat", I thought the frogs might just get in on their own and feel better, but that researcher then goes on to talk about bringing frogs into captivity.
“The big challenge is to drive down the price so that products like Savor’s become affordable to the masses—either the same cost as animal fats or less. Savor has a good chance of success here, because the key steps of their fat-production process already work in other industries,” Gates said.
Sounds like it's not currently price competitive but it might be in the future. I expect economies of scale would be helpful too.
Effectively they took that money and gave it to the execs and shareholders. No way should they be allowed to take more money to pay for these upgrades - why should they be trusted to do the right thing this time around?
It should have, but I was thinking about the contents instead: loopback is ::1 so it's not that, so maybe it's just something with 4 of a-f (technically correct)

Oh, really? I thought middle-click was for scrolling.
