You may try to buy it with some logistic companies/ warehouse if the discount is larger than the service charge.
E.g. I am currently in Hong Kong. The service charge is USD33. If I buy the USD499 one, the discount is 124.75, still cheaper than buying in Hong Kong.
I am not working in US and in a different industry. I am doing marketing. You may just take my opinions as reference.
From the point of view of business, I suggest you can describe how you helped your employer/ company/ clients in the job description. I am not familiar with IT so I use things related to business as an example.
e.g. H&M Salesman
Original: Sold clothes to customers.
Suggestion: Provided professional advises to customers in order to help them to develop their personal image.
Numbers and descriptive phrases can help HR manager to remember what you have achieved.
To address this, has anyone considered pitting AlphaGo against a team of 9p players consulting with each other, and perhaps taking charge of different conflicts on the board?
I can't find the source now, but I remember reading a while ago that a team of go players is, perhaps contrary to intuition, not significantly better than their strongest individual alone.
There's just no useful way to "pool" human thinking power and redistribute it to where it's needed the most – all the players will simultaneously consider the same branches. At best you reduce the risk of making a silly mistake, but sitting pros are already pretty good at that.
> all the players will simultaneously consider the same branches
A computer-assisted pool of humans might work. Feed each human a board state advanced by 1/2/3/N moves down the decision tree in some direction, and have them evaluate that particular sub-tree. It's a map-reduce problem!
For some reason this made me think of the Focused in A Deepness in the Sky - where real general AI isn't possible [at least where we are] so human minds are harnessed to solve problems in a deeply unpleasant way.
Is there a non-dystopian way we can do this? The immediate problems seem to be bandwidth of communication and ability to quickly generate shared culture and jargon.
Are Bridgewater Capital's employees Ray Dalio's focused?
AFAIK Mechanical Turk is just getting random people to do stuff for you - the concept of Focus is something else entirely and genuinely quite terrifying.
If you haven't read A Fire Upon the Deep I'd recommend reading that first. It's not vital but there are some subtle links between the two that are rather cool (not the shared character, more the shared "physics" and tech).
That's actually a really interesting idea. At this point you're basically replacing the "policy" neural network in AlphaGo with biological human neural networks.
Is there a meaningful response that each one could give that would be optimal? I figure this would only stand a chance of working if the pool of humans were cloned from a 9 dan :-)
Each one needn't give a 9 dan response. Each person gives one response to the best of their ability, and scores the situation on a scale of like 1–100. Collect all the responses and distribute the new board situations over the same – or a different – group of people. The score is mostly used to value the quality of previous moves. If a branch leads from a situation most people rated as 60 to a situation where most people rate 10 it's not a good branch.
Of course, Go has way too many eligible possible moves for random people to vote on, but a large enough group of top pros might be able to do well just by voting.
Four to five expert chess players suggested moves for the world team. I feel that for any reasonable non-expert it comes down to "choose between these suggested moves" rather than "pick a move". It's also not really random human beings, since the selection of participants is self-selected and therefore much more likely to contain very good chess players.
This is mostly semantics, but anyone who doesn't read your link might get the wrong idea, so I felt like clarifying it a bit.
Fair points. Thanks for pointing this out. I used "random" to really mean "not-top-pros." Moves suggested by experts being voted on by a large sum of people are kind of similar to how democracy and capitalism work.
Part of the reason go is a difficult computational problem is that local conflicts can have global relevance. If it was the kind of thing that could be decomposed easily to different humans then it would be an easier game for a computer to crack.
Yes, particularly because of the sente/gote dynamic. However, it takes time to read individual situations through, and this might be chunked and distributed. The problem, as usual, is efficiently communicating analysis in a useful way. There would probably need to be a hierarchy where "specialists" report to the captain about the battle, and then the captain has to prioritize and decide on the order of action for each region. But the minute detailed analysis for each region would be entirely delegated. Note that leiutenents would be responsible for understanding their region's relationship to the whole, but only the captain is truly responsible for understanding it all.
At the same time, only now are people seeing how its hard for people to play Go against computers. Until AlphaGo I didn't even think computers were close.
Actually computers were already in the top 10 percentile or so. I mean top go playing bots ranked something like 5dan amateur which is very hard to achieve, so it could already defeat most human players.
Go is much harder than chess. The tree of available moves is massive and difficult to prune, as it's hard to get a reasonable heuristic about the "strength" of a given Go position.
After reading this, I was so glad that I was born in the 21st century!
I can feel the pain by just looking at the monitor. The pain travels from thousand years ago and reaches my teeth!!
Medical science has come a long way in just the past century and a half. Not many stop to appreciate how far we have come and IMO how far we need to go. We still are unable to properly diagnose and treat most of the prevalent mental illnesses.
Keep going!
To make a new OS successful, there are too many difficulties. Existing competitors, acceptance of consumers and cost of shifting from the old to the new. We are happy to see a new OS. Hope it can go well!
Gas and oil will not be cheap forever. Now it goes down but when investors or governments want to rise its price, it can be easily changed. Just make some "noises" or "predictions" and the price will be affected.
Besides, electric cars have zero road emission. Drivers will not see the exhaust emissions by themselves. Electric cars shifted the emissions to the power plant so drivers will have less feelings about their contribution to global warming.
> Electric cars shifted the emissions to the power plant so drivers will have less feelings about their contribution to global warming.
Even the filthiest conventional power plants are significantly more efficient than the internal combustion engine and emit fewer greenhouse gasses.
Aside from that, the electric grid is becoming cleaner by the month which means EVs automatically become cleaner as we transition to renewables and clean generation. Gasoline engines never become cleaner.
That's the main sustainability argument for EVs: de-coupling transportation from oil or any particular fuel, thereby enabling a clear path as the grid continues to transition to renewables.
It's not just shifting emissions, those emissions are decreased, significantly in places like California with lots of non-carbon electricity, and almost entirely eliminated in places like Norway which have a surplus of clean energy.
And there is a clear path to eliminating the remaining emissions, unlike in an internal combustion vehicle.
Let's not discount the value of shifting the emissions though. Look at the air quality in major cities and the health effects that has on the billions of urban residents.yes the majority of that might not be from cars but any electric whatsit give us the ability to move the pollution and a world where the emissions are all just moved away from the people is still a better world.
It is hard to convince those traditional countries to join since they have a strong sense of protectionism. Japan and Korea are also facing some difficulties from their citizens.
Keep inventing and love innovation.
That's the reason why he can be successful. Some say you need to become a billionaire so that you can have free time to invent. However, he could become a billionaire because he used all his time on inventing. This is the fundamental difference between ordinary people and billionaires.
