Artificial intelligence bots have achieved superhuman results in zero-sum games such as chess, Go, and poker, in which each player tries to defeat the others. However, just like humans, real-world AI systems must learn to coordinate in cooperative environments as well.

To advance research on AI that can understand other points of view and collaborate effectively, Facebook AI has developed a bot that sets a new state of the art in Hanabi, a card game in which all players work together. Our bot not only improves upon previous AI systems but also exceeds the performance of elite human players, as judged by experienced players who have evaluated it.

I’ve been using tmux for about six months now and it has become just as essential to my workflow as vim. Pane and window management, copy-mode for navigating output, and session management make it a no-brainer for those who live in the terminal (and especially vim). I’ve compiled a list of tmux commands I use daily to help me work more efficiently.

Measures to prevent record linking & privacy leaks.

Your laptop is way more powerful than you think. Unleash its full potential with the Vaex dataframe library.

Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first.

Typically, you would connect to your server with an SSH client like PuTTY and after logging in you are dropped into a shell like Bash where you can enter commands and interact with the operating system. For most purposes, this simple setup suffices. However, in certain scenarios, you may need, or at least benefit, from expanding the capabilities of such a session with a terminal multiplexer like tmux. Just like the operating system running on your phone or computer can execute and display, side by side, multiple applications on its graphical user interface, so can tmux do with text-based programs and shell sessions.

A curated list of reasons to stop using Facebook and how to do it.

This article will provide the reader with a brief overview for a number of different Linux commands. A special emphasis will be placed on explaining how each command can be used in the context of performing data science tasks. The goal will be to convince the reader that each of these commands can be extremely useful, and to allow them to understand what role each command can play when manipulating or analyzing data.

We are living in a global knowledge economy. People who might never meet face-to-face are working together daily through the internet. Knowledge work is becoming more accessible for people everywhere in the world, and technology talent is no longer exclusive to Silicon Valley.

We created this guide to help more people join the internet economy, and gain flexibility and independence in their work life. This guide is based off of our experience originally as remote workers ourselves, and now as a 100% remote team. This encyclopedia is open source, and we hope that the whole remote community will contribute to make it better over time.

Whether you’re looking for a more flexible way to work as a maker, or to build an amazing remote team - this guide will help you get started, stay productive, and build a better future of work.

How to run an internet speed test from the Linux command line. We examine two tools that both use the speedtest.net service to test your connection speeds.

Watch out! If you start reading this paper you could be lost for hours following all the interesting links and ideas, and end up even more dissatisfied than you already are with the state of software today. You might also be inspired to help work towards a better future. I’m all in :).

This post overviews the paper Confident Learning: Estimating Uncertainty in Dataset Labels authored by Curtis G. Northcutt, Lu Jiang, and Isaac L. Chuang.

I like to use Makefiles. I like to use Makefiles in Java. I like to use Makefiles in Erlang. I like to use Makefiles in Elixir. And most recently, I like to use Makefiles in Ruby. I think you, too, would like to use Makefiles in your environment, and the engineering community would benefit if more of us used Makefiles, in general.

A comprehensive description of how I currently use org-mode.

I have always held that the act of programming is something that is done in an abstract realm and only later translated into a programming language. That programming should involve much more thinking than actual writing.

I mostly still stand by that but my years as a readability reviewer at Google raised my awareness of the fact that it takes time and practice to use a language well. Many were the hopeful C++ programmers who wrote fully functional and reasonably object-oriented code in Java but with a heavy C++ accent that couldn't quite meet the bar of elegance in Java (even if a C++ programmer might think it mostly elegant apart from the "flaws" of Java).

So how much does the choice of programmimg language matter? Is there or could there be a language that could be considered perfect?
