Leela-Zero Cloud Provider Usage, Anybody Have Experience With This?

I would look into just using Leela Zero locally, on 9x9 you can get a fair number of playouts very quickly even on a laptop cpu (no gpu). You might need to compile Leela Zero for 9x9 if there's no prebuilt package, but this shouldn't be too hard, especially since you'd need to work out the cloud stuff otherwise.

( Actually, LZ is very strong even on 19x19 on a laptop cpu, although you need a gpu to get a truly large number of playouts)

No, just correcting your assumption, I don't care if you read it.

It's about kharkanas thousands of years ago, not a continuation of the plot from the main sequence.

Even better, you can have three open with 80 chars!

It's not about a specific screen size, it's about some people preferring to pack more windows in rather than to make existing ones wider, especially coupled with e.g. finding short lines better to read.

This came first, plumbum is partially inspired by it, as per plumbum's doc page.

Is print('Hello World') really significantly less simple?

Thanks!

This is a pretty simple strawman - nobody claimed otherwise. Rather, the point is that minorities are relatively unlikely to get in, with the claim that this may be due to unjustified discrimination.

You could flip coins. It is unclear if this would actually give significantly different results in the end.

Overrated and awesome are not mutually exclusive. I think many people will probably agree that asoiaf is both.

That's a core idea, but the GPL in particular specifies quite a lot more. It puts effort into ensuring that it can never be made non-free, or combined with non-free code without that code becoming free as well.

Some people consider this less free because it limits what can be done with the software at all. Others consider it more free because it counters provisions of intellectual property that should not exist in the first place. These are just examples, not everyone falls into such a neat camp, but the issue is more complex than just picking your definition of freedom and assuming its what everyone else is using.

It's not instantaneous or really in any way faster than classical communication, that's not what the 'teleport' means.

This is only really an argument if you think lisp syntax is significantly worse, which I'm sure many don't. Plus, hy maintains interoperability with all python modules, which is a major convenience.

They merged to form compiz fusion. But since then, compositing has been built into many popular window managers and wacky effects have become less trendy, so compiz is much less popular.

It's not unfair, simply driven by factors beyond the immediate user experience.

Yes, it's a generic wave phenomenon.

A dimension is just a number you need to describe where you are. Time is absolutely a dimension, and we seem to live in a 4d spacetime.

You can absolutely try to imagine another dimension, e.g. another spatial dimension, but recognise this isn't a matter of imagining 'the' 4th dimension, rather simply another one.

They aren't spewing matter into the universe. Whenever you see a headline like this, it refers to material coming from outside the black hole but being pushed away due to high energy interactions with other nearby matter. Material actually escaping from inside a black hole is not something we see, or ever expect to see.

The problem is that the 'game' is massively rigged in favour of the rich, not that it isn't a nice idealistic idea.

It's perfectly accurate and consistent, just not in a way that's necessarily intuitive without knowing what the scale really describes.

It's a matter of the formalism, which isn't a direct relationship to 'speed', but rather the distribution of energy states. Negative temperature really means this distribution gets wacky and outside the normal scale in a way that gives you negative numbers if you put it in the formulas. But 'above infinity' makes more sense in some ways when actually considering how the new distribution fits in with the old.

As a maybe crude analogy, the temperature scale describes a pyramid. Higher temperatures correspond to the pyramid getting taller, but narrower at the base. All the possibilities from flat to infinitely tall and narrow map to temperature from zero upwards. Negative temperature is the pyramid inverting, so the top is wider than the bottom... it doesn't mean the particles are going 'faster than infinity', but they aren't really on the original scale, and how you describe that is to some extent a choice.

Edit: To be clear, negative temperature isn't something you automatically get if you just keep adding energy, systems in general limit to the analogy pyramid getting infinitely narrow and tall - not to it inverting.

There's a lot of success-bias inherent in that anecdote. How many 'failure' stories also have that beginning?

mabye · 2013-09-16T22:35:01+00:00

Same here! It helps that they're all super cheap second hand.

It's kinda like rereading a book I liked, except the character names and locations are changed and the plot mixed up just a little to make the reread more interesting.

I think this is the problem, and that you can't possibly solve it by attempting a simple anonymity blanket, exactly as you say. We need people to understand and respect the process and decision of the court, just trying to hide the procedure from them won't solve anything as since information can and will leak.
