One of the best debugging tools is to consider the application layers. Item 2 in the list "Stabilize, Isolate, and Minimize" touches on this, but to be more specific: consider your system as a call-stack or as an application stack. Can you find the last place in the system where things work as expected?

That's true, but typically, quad-based models are not decomposed directly into triangles, but, rather, subdivision surfaces that do have a predictable resolution. In other words, a direct triangulation of a non-planar quad can be resolved in two contradictory ways -- but smoothing it out produces a hyperbolic paraboloid with just one consistent resolution.

The US loves a cheat.

Home town legal decisions are the norm. Gerrymandered electorates are the majority. The american exceptionalism of we can but you can't is openly embraced by all in politics and the media. Regulatory capture is the norm. Revolving door Washington lobbyists is not even a story anymore.

Cheating is an absolute way of life nowadays. Which is really, really strange because it seems to me that most Americans really don't like cheats and cheating. Brady.
There are two main issues with IP and China. One is outright theft (the old fashioned way), Two is forcing local ownership and IP sharing. It's the latter that's most problematic for foreign businesses mfg in China. India AFAIK, unlike China and Russia, doesn't contractually force foreign concerns to hand over IP.

If that’s happened thousands of times, sure, that’s the sign of a relatively common/weak password. If it’s happened once? I’d be frustrated if I was trying to pick something memorable and got stuck because of that.

Didn't realize I could use `itertools.count`. In fact, it accepts a `start` parameter.

The `take` function is borrowed from Haskell. It feels lot more natural to say/read `take(10, primes())`, than `islice(primes(), 10)`.
"Strategic" is probably the wrong word, but I think there is a valid question here regarding the approach the AI is taking. One of the key things for a good poker player is having the ability to adapt and adjust their strategy depending on how others at the table are playing. Sometimes you can have the exact same cards in the exact same position and in one game it is smart to fold and in another game it is smart to raise. From the description in the article, it doesn't appear that this AI takes those ebbs and flows into consideration. Instead it seems to play "purely mathematically optimally on expected value" that was honed through trillions of simulations.

There is a cliche about how poker is about playing your opponents and not the cards. Is this AI is only focusing on its cards and ignoring its opponents?

No. You don't lose authority, you lose credibility. Unfortunately, conspiracy theorists tend to believe and repeat information that sparks an emotional reaction in them or agrees with their paranoid worldview, regardless of the credibility of that information. However, because of Google's track record with user data, paranoid assumptions of them tend to be correct.
All the major online chess websites have anti-cheat mechanisms. They don't publish details of how they detect cheaters though, and I don't know how good they are.

From what I've read, they work by comparing the player's moves against chess engines, and if the player is picking engine's choice too often in positions where there are multiple roughly equal moves, they get flagged.
The AI doesn't adapt to the opponents, and that's still an interesting challenge for AI research. That said, at the end of the day, it was making quite a bit of money playing against elite human pros. I think that suggests the cliche is, at least in part, wrong.
My first job out of school 25 years ago they were big on further education and training. You actually had in your yearly objectives that you complete atleast 10 days of training.

And open that center console if it doesn't open!
I think it's a systems issue not really a software one. You need some sort of gap between the control unit (which can kill people) and the monitoring system which shouldn't be able to.

Would be perfectly reasonable to pass monitoring data from the control unit via a tx only channel to a networked monitoring device. For instance using a digital opto-coupler to galvanically isolate the two units.
You can tell he's a good guy or he'd have only taken half of it to ensure the continued supply.
It does bluff, but that’s not my point. My issue is that it bluffs without consideration of its opponent. High level strategic play of most games is about adapting to your opponents play. This bot does not do that. It is secretly a giant lookup table of game state to response.

In the case of poker, it appears that adaptability is not as good as pure mathematical optimization. Humans can adapt their strategy, but it’s basically just worse regardless because this thing has cracked the code.

I’m surprised that you managed to beat pros without adaptability. It’s pretty impressive and says a lot about how we define strategy. If human adaptability is just not as good as machine optimality across all games, we could imagine discovering that an adaptable poker AI can’t outperform this one. It raises a whole lot of interesting questions because lots of criticism towards something like Starcraft AI is that it is strategically stupid and doesn’t adapt. Now the Starcraft Ai is admittedly kind of stupid now, but we may hit a wall on its creativity simply because creativity is, despite human intuition, a dumb idea.
John Carmack is the immediate one that comes to mind.
Does it beat poker by reaching Nash eq (where you cant make profit and no one can profit from you) or exploits opponents weakness to seek profit ?
>move all production out of the PRC

...

>Interesting to note the article mentions iPhone 6, 6s and 7

This is pretty much why Apple or other OEMs can't move all production out of PRC. Mainland supply chain and expertise is critical to rapidly refining and launching new products. Once manufacturing matures, the process can be exported to other countries. Apart from Indian, I don't think any other country can replicate Chinese scale and specific expertise, the latter being particularly limiting due to demographics. Both would take generations to develop.

It's my understanding the big sites have some pretty sophisticated bot detection systems, so in theory a bot that would be successful at beating online poker couldn't be a huge winner, it'd presumably raise too many red flags. However, if it were a near break-even player, with dozens, if not hundreds, of instances running at any given time, it's going to slowly grind out a substantial figure. You'd also have to take into account that the sites are monitoring things like reaction times to bets and raises, hand range consistency, etc. I'm not a coder, but it seems like it'd be a tremendous undertaking to code a bot that would be a substantial threat to players. Then again, maybe I'm naive about the level of scrutiny the poker sites are employing.

The problem with putting a $ figure on it is that people who create free software create emmense amounts of value but don't capture even a tiny fraction for themselves. OTOH to montize their genius they need to help corporates do things that are not neccesarily great for society. Also a coporate situation may hamper their genius, although at this level he probably gets to call the shots.

Also a lot of useless consultants would earn that much, as would people doing shady shit, as well as many talented people so the $ comparison is kind of insulting.

Why Cutting Costs Is Expensive: How $9/H Software Engineers Cost Boeing Billions
> Between June 1995 and January 1987, six patients were seriously injured or killed by unsafe administration of radiation from the Therac-25 medical linear accelerator.

> The Therac-25 software errors that cause radiation overexposures can be reduced down to interface errors. The first of these errors involved the entering of treatment data by the machine operator. Once an operator enters treatment information at the terminal outside of treatment room, the magnets used to filter and control radiation levels are set. There are several magnets, and the process takes about 8 seconds. If the operator makes a very, very quick change of the treatment information, within 1 second, the change is registered. Or, if the operator is rather slow about it, takes more than 8 seconds, the change is also registered. However, if the change occurs within the eight seconds it takes to set the magnets, the change is not detected and the magnets continue to be set up improperly, and thus the level of radiation is set up improperly.

> The last of the accidents occurred at the Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital. On January 17, 1987 an operator placed a patient on the turntable in the field-light position for small position verification doses. After attempting to administer the treatment dose, the machine shut down with a quick malfunction message and a treatment pause. The operator pushed the "P" button, and the machine paused again. The machine indicated that the patient had received his prescribed 7 rad of treatment. The patient, however, complained of a "burning sensation" and died three months later from complications related to the overdose (Leveson and Turner, 1993, p. 33) .

I think that is the plan with Fuchsia.

The core of the OS is small. The drivers can be separated out more easily, and with a (hopefully) stable driver API, they may not need to get updated ever (baring security bugs in the driver code itself).
I fully intend to break these devices if I ever hear them. I'm over the age of 30, and can hear them quite clearly; it violates my right to be in public spaces. Even if the device is installed in privately owned property, it's not like the sound waves magically stop at the end of that property. Regardless of the law, the use of these devices within hearing of public space is against the public good, and they should be destroyed if heard.
Yeah. If there is one thing I've observed over the years is that systems usually function as the design goal intended. So if you think the system is broken because the behavior is odd then there is a high chance you just misunderstood the design goal.

Wow. Pretending that ads make a difference.

I think we all know the truth. Even if you look at ads. Even if you click on ads.

Looking at bullshit (or pretending to) with no intent to commit and buy isn't valuable.

Imagine an auto dealership with continuous foot traffic and no sales. At some point, the truth becomes obvious.

It's like a corner gas station at an intersection with a long, slow traffic light. First they post a sign that says "no through traffic" because people route around the red light. At some point they start calling the cops, and a patrol car starts writing tickets for bypassing the intersection via private property.

Everyone loves to pretend that ads are valuable but they aren't.

I have mixed feelings about the move of manufacturing to India. Whilst I would like Indians to be economically successful I can't ignore the ecological disaster that is happening in their country. It is absolutely terrifying. The air in Mumbai was unbreathable when I visited and it wasn't even ranking remotely near the top in the most polluted city air in India at the time (Delhi's was 3x as bad). Adding to this the much publicised water shortages, growing population putting strain on the already way over-burdened infrastructure, accelerating pace of urban development and a healthy democratic culture which doesn't instil confidence of them being able to quickly rectify these problems once Chinese style growth has been achieved I can only predict a disaster of biblical proportions for India in the not too distant future. I hope I'm wrong but I fear I'm not.

> This has been collaborated by a team at Kobe University in Japan, which has furthered the Finnish researchers' theory: "New evidence suggests that high-energy particles from space known as galactic cosmic rays affect the Earth's climate by increasing cloud cover, causing an 'umbrella effect'," the just published study has found, a summary of which has been released in the journal Science Daily. The findings are hugely significant given this 'umbrella effect' — an entirely natural occurrence — could be the prime driver of climate warming, and not man-made factors.

It doesn't exploit its opponents' weaknesses. Its focus was on not having any weaknesses that its opponents could exploit. However, the algorithms are not guaranteed to converge to a Nash equilibrium in this setting because it's not a two-player zero-sum game (and in either case, it's not clear that playing a Nash equilibrium would provide much benefit in this setting).

I used to hate aws for how expensive their bandwidth and storage was, until I started actually using it last year.
I think their new serverless stack is about to leave a lot of devops out of a job.

You can setup a a CI/CD pipeline in about half an hour with amplify, at the previous company I remember it taking a good 3 weeks to get CircleCi up and running properly.

And then moving a microservice over to it is basically 1 command, a few options, mostly just copy over the config from your old express backend with a few changes, and you're done.
It's insane.

One other dev I've showed the lighthouse scores of the react stack I deployed on it even said "this should be illegal".
