They themselves said it was trained on NVIDIA chips, so I’m not sure where you got that it wasn’t. It was trained on the less capable versions sold for the Chinese market.

Why do you think there's a longer interval between inspections for Teslas? The interval for Hauptuntersuchung in Germany (which this article is about) is 2 years (except for the first one which happens after 3 years), regardless of car brand.

And a windshield wiper needing replacement wouldn't count as a "significant fault" that they force you to come back for before getting certified.

Unfortunately, some companies' HR departments actively encourage "trivia questions", because they ask interviewers to ask every candidate the same questions so that a "fair" comparison between candidates.

Why wouldn't it have good coordination? A bot has access to a perfect model of how the other bot would act - itself.

Also, computer engines didn't seal the doom of human players in chess and in go, so I don't get why it would do so in dota.

Physics and other disciplines were broadly using arxiv before ML did it. When I switched from physics to ML (CS) I was surprised that arxiv isn't used more.

Depends on what your industry is. If you're compiling c++ for mobile, clang is pretty much your only choice for iOS and the default choice for Android ...

> Because our training system Rapid is very general, we were able to teach OpenAI Five many complex skills since June simply by integrating new features and randomizations. Many people pointed out that wards and Roshan were particularly important to include — and now we’ve done so. We’ve also increased the hero pool to 18 heroes. Many commenters thought these improvements would take another year.

The linked commenters thought that getting to "real dota" (more than 100 heroes, captains mode instead of random, ...) would take another year. So I don't think it's fair to make that statement.

Edit: Don't get me wrong, I think the improvements are very nice, but pointing to people saying "these people thought we would need a year, we did it in under a month!" is not what you should do if you didn't actually do what the linked people stated.

Because it's absurd to throw all EU countries into one pot in this regard, especially if you include (and focus on) the UK?

It was mainly sold as "prevent illegal foreign gambling sites from making a profit without paying back".

Geometry Dash, still probably my favorite game on the iPad, switches between left-to-right and right-to-left suddenly in the middle of levels and it's messing with my brain.

I'm not saying "Google's Awesome!". My point is that the view you presented is far more biased than what I get from my colleagues and friends that stayed in academia. People running around like headless chickens in the "MS buys GitHub" thread was unfounded, and it is unfounded here.
