Recently I updated my MacBook Pro to El Captain, and I don't like El Captain. One major thing I noticed is the screen went blurry. Text and everything. My Mac does not have retina display, and yet it looked fine when I still had Yosemite. Well, not saying Yosemite was good either, but it was at… Continue reading Mac El Capitan: Blurry Display Issue

In fact AlphaGo already won before, which is pretty awesome. This time, "it" challenges a more advanced and experienced player.
Starting way earlier than this event, AlphaGo has proven its capability of winning the game, and now we are testing its capability of winning advanced game.

The moment I figured Lee lost, I actually did not feel excited about the technology. I felt panic. Yes, panic. And overwhelmed.
Aren't people from Google who build this feeling panic?
Update: learned a bit about machine learning and deep neural network. Well, now I feel fine and no more panic. The bottom line is they still work obeying the "rules" that we quantify. Even if AlphaGo jumps out of the box and ignoring the rules by themselves, it is more likely that bugs happen rather than AlphaGo gets evolved and can think on its own. Happy life.
