That I don’t know. I haven’t been looking into one-board computers for a while. The one I bought ~10 years ago was running out of juice when I was trying to run Kodi on it last year. Wifi shouldn’t be a problem IMO, I’ve been using mine as torrent downloader and hosted a few university projects (dynamic web apps) on it. The graphics might. I would guess that as long as you find one with decent specs (so probably not the 10$ one) it should work. I’m sure there’s someone who is doing exactly that and either could answer what to buy/look for or wrote a blog about it

I haven’t gotten to it for myself but I think Kodi+something like RaspberryPI is your solution

EDIT: or just install a Linux on some one-board computer or old laptop and check how HDMI-CEC is working. You’ll need to install virtual keyboard too

“updoot”

Clear what you’re referencing, IMO flows nicely and AFAIK (IANAL) isn’t a trademark

Yes, but that’s only because a generation found some random, specific motion that scored better. Not because it analyzed that doing a skip should be possible

Yes, but that’s kind of my point

We see it learn something with insane precision but most often it is almost an effect of over-training. It probably would require less time to learn another layout but it’s not learning the general rules (can’t go through walls, holes are bad, we want to get to X), it learns the specific layout. Each time a layout changes, it would have to re-learn it

It is impressive and enables automation in a lot of areas, but in the end it is still only machine learning, adapting weights to specific scenario

It’s cool but my question is (I did not see this addressed in the article nor video but might have missed it) did it learn to win the game in general terms or only this one example? I mean, if the layout of the board was changed, would it still solve it?

I’m not big on gambling. But I feel I could bet that their software/firmware is so bad that someone could still hack the network via the bricked printer

This page is credible?

Interesting. Will port87 work with third-party mail clients?

network-connected wrenches

Do wrenches really need to be networked? Honest question

What’s as big as a house, burns 20 liters of fuel every hour, puts out a shit-load of smoke and noise, and cuts an apple into three pieces?

A Soviet machine made to cut apples into four pieces!

But then that is for desktop Firefox, not mobile. Right?

This is on mobile?

over 450 add-ons

But no Cookie AutoDelete among them. Firefox Nightly is still better

So it’s not like: when I affect the hue (some attribute) of my half, the other half will change too? That has always been my understanding of it

Of course. And you know where is the end of this line? When we are allowed to rent (DRM) the games for absurd amount of money or for a sane one but with ads every 5 minutes. Add a microtransaction that blocks ads for 15 minutes in MMOs to the mix and maybe have less ads shown on big streamers’ accounts so it doesn’t look that bad on let’s plays

You mean like Ubisoft just did?

…
I’ve spent so much time waiting for Cookie AutoDelete to be available. And you don’t even need to create a collection, I just installed it from the mozilla addons page

Thank you!

I get that. But my point is: are we really sure that this is the problem?

One of the bases of our scientific method is repeatability of experiment. But at some point, when we can produce a lot of experiments, comes a problem: we can run out of people with time and resources that allow to repeat it. And one of the ways to mitigate it is to strengthen the requirements on the data gathering. So when you do find something weird, you can analyze how the parameters differ from other similar runs and if someone else is able to repeat it, you might have easier time finding which variable makes it so. Without consistent “we measured X after setting that to Y” it’s hard to repeat the experiment or even recognize if you really are observing something new.

Take a look at that error a few months ago that resulted in us thinking that a new superconductor that can work in ± room conditions was found. If we didn’t have precise description of what they did and what they measured, we could be still trying to reproduce their observations

modern inventions are orders of magnitude more complex than anything in the past

Well, in a way that’s always the case with inventions. I think when the first modern submarine (it’s just an example) was built it also was a marvel of alloy purity and manufacturing precision compared to anything in the past. It’s just that in the last century we observed a lot of technological progress because we started doing research in a lot more directions and in much higher volume. We caught up to our technological and theoretical knowledge and now the progress will slow down. Only to explode again after another breakthrough, as we often move in sinusoids, but that will be in one field + how it can help other fields, not a bunch of fields developing all at once in a short timeframe
