Infrastructure as code services is actually matching the City metaphor quite well. With the huge difference you can rescale and reshape your "city" at will


The mutated cornavirus shows reduced responsiveness to antibodies thus a threat to current vacines in pipeline. Yes, it transfer Human-> Human. Hence the drastic measures to contain and eliminate the variant.

Likely they used transfer learning on an anime face model.


Close! I used anime to test the basic functionality/UI of the site. Transfer learning was in fact done on the FFHQ512 dataset from Nvidia (I figured the complexity of its features was a little higher, which would lend itself well to abstract textures).


I hope you haven't read the reports from the medical frontline in Lombardie - They are making life or death choices now due to influx of ICU patient without enough equipment and medical staff exhausted and starting to get sick themselves

One frontline story among many here https://twitter.com/jasonvanschoor/status/123714289107769753...


Triage, i.e. if you show up and have any condition that reduces your chances of survival you are not treated at all. Palliative care only.


Also the government, despite sounding enlightened and getting most of the praise of the press, is locking everyone up with exceptional measures, but still goes the bureaucratic way to procure respirators (which are essential in the current emergency, and they are needed now, not in the two weeks required for the lockdown to show any effect) and masks (either useless because not certified for medical use, or stuck in a warehouse due to "missing authorizations").

At this point my region (Lombardia) appointed someone with the sole task of getting an emergency hospital up in Milano to house more patients, doing whatever it takes. Hopefully this will help.


Maybe the initial hint of skynet or hopefully more likely impressive calculation to come

From https://pastebin.com/RfUMXJZE referenced in article:

Here, we report using a processor with programmable superconducting qubits to create quantum states on 53 qubits, occupying a state space 253 ˘1016. Measurements from repeated experiments sample the corresponding probability distribution, which we verify using classical simulations.

While our processor takes about 200 seconds to sample one instance of the quantum circuit 1 million times, a state-of-the-art supercomputer would require approximately 10,000 years to perform the equivalent task.

This dramatic speedup relative to all known classical algorithms provides an experimental realization of quantum supremacy on a com- putational task and heralds the advent of a much-anticipated computing paradigm.


What quantum tasks are relevant to AGI?

I'm not aware of any concrete evidence that the human brain uses quantum superpositions, so why would a quantum computer be necessary for artificial general intelligence.


a personal skill which improves life over time, e.g. take up meditation, tai chi, yoga, regular fitness or similar

If planning on going freelance/solo develop presentation skills. (reading up on stuff like https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321668790?ie=UTF8&tag=gar...)

For technical skills, really depends on where your interest and skills are ... look for longterm trends and learn stuff that matches your personality/interests/skills


I've always thought the risk of too hot "balls" in the car was greater in that area of the world ...


No, as far as I can see all dataplans (in Denmark) differentiate between "at home" and in EU allowance, e.g. I can use 8GB out of 40gb monthly in EU

Anyway, for a typical one week vacation this is a good step forward.


I cancelled my pledge on kickstarter for the Anonabox. Surely looks like the projectowner has been "a bit to clever"
