Making "quite a bit of money" still leaves open the possibility that the AI is leaving a lot of money on the table by not taking opponents into consideration.

Also I would be curious to see how it performs against people that aren't "elite human pros". Would this AI win at a higher rate in a game against average recreational players compared to the rate a pro would win?

Lastly it is also possible that the pros simply didn't have enough time to adapt to the AI which would be extra important considering the AI plays unlike humans and therefore is harder to predict.

"I emailed Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and star of TV’s Shark Tank, because he is known for responding right away to anyone who emails him, and because now I can give this story the headline, “Mark Cuban’s Advice About Email” for LinkedIn. I wanted to know, did you always email this way, or did you only start once you became the boss? His answer (over email): “Yes.”"

You really think Apple cares about benchmarks against Android phones? People aren’t going to switch phones from iOS to Android because of benchmarks.

Besides that’s not the way phone manufacturers benchmark well. Android manufacturers have been caught detecting the benchmark and then running in a higher power mode - not running higher all of the time.

I see the link you provided as evidence to the improbability of GP's premise.

Consider that common daily used words can change to a degree that they at best resemble their origin, and that in just a single or two millenniums. Do you believe any oral tradition can survive and preserve anything from it's original meaning after 20k years?

Do you know any story about your family from 300 years ago? Do you know anyone who knows (leaving aside kings and the like, where the stories are again only known from canonical origins)? Do you know the name of any of your ancestors from 4,000 years ago? The name of the place they lived in?
Why are their countries of origin so bad that they are willing to illegally come to the US to work? Shouldn't we focus on the root of the problem/fixing this?

It's probably easy to do if you know it's an issue to begin with. I've run into this scenario before (running sql queries to read data that turned out to lock everything) and it caught me by surprise. Why would a read query cause the database to lock anything? I thought databases did stuff like multiversion concurrency control to make locks like that unnecessary.
I think it's the other way around. No harm happens if the coins are unclaimed. They're out of circulation, similar to what happens when countries destroy currency.

Satoshi has effectively 380 tons of gold worth of btc.

His wealth is about 1/10 the amount stored in Fort Knox. And that's just one guy. What of the criminal empires and corrupt politicians who have their wealth stashed away in wallets? There's easily hundreds of billions of dollars of lost money out there.

All that money going back into the system destabilizes it. Imagine someone saves up all their lives for 10 btc, then some guy just drops 1000 btc on a house like it was nothing. Pretty soon, there's inflation, and the prices (vs other currencies) plummet.

This is all theoretical, but the reality is that there's no harm if nobody gets the coins.
Problem is that those files previously exist on Windows 7 as part of CEIP

Were they there from the beginning? If not, which update(s) first added them? I doubt they were, because I clearly remember all the telemetry being in the news starting with Win10 and plenty of people refusing to upgrade to 10 because of it.

Even if it's a security update to CEIP, I don't think it should be offered to those who didn't install the original version of it.
We do yeah.

For my money, to be an acceptable Python, you have to be able to use the Python numeric, scientific and machine learning libraries -- or have other libraries that are just as good or better. That is the number one reason I would use Python in the first place.
You know, I would do quite a lot to get full granular control of Windows Update back. I'd sign and mail a liability waiver. I'd send Microsoft a box of chocolates. I'd take a training course and pass a standardized licensing exam.

In the meantime I'm stuck dealing with Windows Update breaking things every week. I've completely given up on ever using my convertible laptop as a tablet again because every day I have to replace the updated broken drivers for the orientation sensor with the good ones from a fresh install of Windows and every night it dutifully installs the broken updated ones and there's not a damned thing I can do about it without disabling Windows Update entirely.

Pretty sure I've read a long time back on 2p2 that large consistant winners on certain sites have been asked to submit camera footage of their play with a clear view of screens and inputs. So this is probably something that companies like Pokerstars have been dealing with for years already.
Yeah, I must say that I have never really understood that idea. In times of increased productivity it seem like you would want to tax the machines, the markets and the networks. Now it is people that are paying for housing, education and internet connections while finance, insurance and tech companies makes profits. Putting a huge burden on the one thing that doesn't scale, the input. Rather than what does, the output.
>It is seen as strictly a negative thing.

Negative because of magnitude. I don't think anything except for the most die-hard libertarians want 0 taxes. Stop unnecessary staw-manning.

>The opposite idea is that taxation is an /investment/ by corporations and individuals, directed and designed by the government,

People dislike it because it is seen as a terrible investment. ROI is extremely low on tax dollars. There is just no incentive for efficiency. Arguably stuff like medicare and social security is just pure consumption. 0 wealth is generated there. Stuff that can be classified as investment takes like <20% of the budget.

>...to allow society to keep running smoothly.

Many argue that most of what the government spends money on is unnecessary. The amount of money absolutely necessary to keep things running smoothly is thought to be less than what is spent now. The budget could be cut in half, many people would be mad or sad, but its not like the country would fall apart. At its core, all a government __needs as a bare minimum to be classified as such__ is to provide is military protection and a legal system, because those things are what government cannot be defined without.

>The difficulty for most Americans is seeing taxation as a long term benefit rather than as a penalty.

You are making an assumption that tax = good and More tax = more good. This isn't a "difficulty in seeing" for those that disagree. Perhaps people who disagree aren't dumb or have the misfortune of not being blessed with enlightenment such that they agree with you.

Money transferred to the government doesn't become magically different or something. There is no 'moral correctness' in transferring money to the government. It just takes agency away from individual citizens and grants it to a bunch of people who don't care at all about losing a few billion here and there.
Why (and when) you should use Kubernetes
The borrow checker isn't nearly as big a deal as you make it out to be from a complexity perspective. You have to take some time to learn the paradigm but when you do it's easy. The challenge is people assume it writes like C because it looks like C, and are frustrated when it doesn't. After a couple of months, you'll realize the borrow checker is your friend, you just need to feed it stuff in a way it understands.

The borrow checker is great for all sorts of things, like ensuring that you only have a single mutable reference or an arbitrary number of immutable references to objects (to prevent corruption) and for the pseudo-threaded model interrupts entail. Memory safety matters in embedded systems, too. You can encode state cleanly with ADT enums [2] where the language can statically detect invalid state transitions.

It's also a much more expressive language, providing you with great abstractions with no added cost. The ergonomics are pretty great compared to dealing with C once your peripherals / register accesses are wrapped, as often are already. For instance, check out the stm32 package [1].

Being able to rely on the compiler more means you get correct code faster, and debugging on embedded systems can be absolute hell. Anything that helps me avoid it is a massive win in my books.

Ageism has always baffled me. In my pre-funding pursuits, I've always dreamed of hiring a team composed of top-tier talent. That typically means people who have been in their respective industry 20+ years. I'm in my early thirties and there's no one on my hire list that's younger than me. That isn't to say I wouldn't hire anyone younger than myself provided they've the skill—I absolutely would—it's just that age and experience (and thus skill) tend to be highly correlated.

Presumably the motivation for the most common form of ageism is that young people are easier to exploit and abuse under the pretext of "saving money", but why the fuck would anyone ever want to run their company on that basis? It makes very little sense.
You're spreading baseless FUD about the article.

I watched the first season but got tired of the constant morose attitude of the main character. Does it get better?
Absolutely, things moved at a glacial pace back then... literally... since the Pleistocene (2.5 million BC to 11,700 BC) encompassed several ice age pulses -- freezes and thaws, over tens of thousands of years. We're currently in the thawing period of the latest ice age, by the way.

The ice ages, by the way, would have been quite intense. Over 1/3 of the Earth was covered by frozen ice caps, extending down past Britain to central Germany in Europe, and the Kansas region in the U.S. Imagine if the Arctic were that large. The habitable zones were commensurately smaller, the warm seasons were shorter, and oppressive winters were the norm. People anywhere near the ice caps would have had to adapt to the intense cold, both physiologically and technologically. If you didn't have fire and the means to hunt and take down large fur coated mammals on a regular basis, you died.

It's amazing to think that Homo Erectus, the dominant hominid circa 1 million BC, had fire and tools. They were far less advanced than H. Sapiens and H. Neanderthalensis, had smaller brains and smaller physical stature, but would have been fearsomely strong and fast nonetheless.

After half a million years, Erectus gave rise to more advanced species so some kind of change and adaptation was occurring, albeit slowly.

It would not surprise me to see kind of an opposite thing - such as other carriers selling phones where they purposefully turned off or hid settings for wi-fi calling, turning on hotspot and similar.. in which case if tmobile sold the same phone, then it would be a matter of them not turning off / hiding.

Would be an interesting chart to show the things the various carriers had turned on / off... added / removed which similar phones.

Amazon revenue in 2018 grew 30% over 2017, but headcount grew only 15%, which is quite an increase in efficiency per employee. That doesn't really make the headlines since there is still overall headcount growth.

As they get larger it is harder to grow revenue that fast percentage-wise. If revenue growth rates drop below ~15%, and that rate of efficiency gains continue, then it would lead to net headcount reductions, which will likely generate much less positive press. So this seems like a good way to get ahead of that soon to be upcoming bad press. Whether it is just PR spin or a genuine effort to mitigate this is I guess open for debate.
