1) The goal was to show convincingly that we could handle multi-player poker. The exact number of players was kind of arbitrary. We chose six-player because that's the most common/popular format. Considering training the 6-player bot would cost less than $150 on a cloud computing service, I think it's safe to say these techniques would all work fine in other formats.

2) I'm quite happy working on fundamental AI research and plan to continue in that direction.

For the first issue, carry your documents. I've been taught that since I first got my ID at 12yo.

My understanding is that the automation is to verify people who are needed by law, right? They don't voluntarily hear a beep and go into the jail. There are police officers that still have to arrest them and check their documents.

The situation is so bad in Rio that society simply will have to deal with any deficiencies in the automated system. It will still be better than the current reality.

The fact that police officers are probably not giving people of color enough flexibility in situations like these is beyond the scope of the automation system.

EDIT: Carrying your documents is not a popular opinion among the US audience, I understand. Still, I find it very reasonable and I think the situation that happened to this woman is being blown out of proportion.

yes! he has been one of my favorite programmers over all these years. so happy that he continues to dispel the 10x programmer myth. at least, as far as i am concerned. we should all take note. it's less about productivity but more about focus and hard work.

this project seems to have started in 2017. from a quick glance at the code, they used c (his favorite language) -- which by the way people are still there convincing us not to use. many of us would have been discouraged, distracted, or simply fazed by the pace of our field.

I think it would be hard for the pros to find exploits against the bot, but they could definitely lose less. When using solvers, pros generally only input a couple of sizings for bets, and avoid 2x+ pot sizings, which from the video it seemed like the bot used at much higher frequencies than other pros.
Copying of multiple files is not atomic. You need to ensure a file with func1 exists before another file calling func1 gets copied. You can do it atomically by having 2 directories and swapping a symlink, but... that's a scriptable pipeline at that point.
Excersising stock options is usually two transactions in one: you buy the stock, then a second later sell. The company will do this for you. And usually they will also keep income tax and do the proper filing. Since startups stock has no public market the buyer is also the company. If the options price is higher than when you received the options you have profit. It is a gamble but you don't have to bring in any of your own money.

> What if all these shares, which I bought for a substantial chunk of my net worth, go to zero in the long period of uncertainty between exercise and liquidity?

If you own shares, then you have a big loss. If you own (or are entitled to) stock options, then you have no gain or loss, you simply don't exercise them.
An interesting thought: ultimately this lack of consequences is backed up by the US's military power.

> All parties in this scenario are legally compliant.

They were complaint with the letter of the law, but the law makers decided that the companies were not complaint with the original spirit of the law. So they introduced a new law so that all parties can also be complaint with the spirit.

In software engineering terms, the written down code was not producing intended behavior. So new code has been written to deal with this bug.
In these cases, I've had good luck just emailing them with a clear notice that I'm cancelling my account (and telling them I think it's rude not to support cancelling via the same media used to sign up). I'm not going to go through your manipulative user-retention flow.

This is a great question. I wonder how this bot would do in a game with a couple of pros and a couple of reasonably skilled amateurs?

Still well, I suspect, since straightforward theoretically-correct poker will take money off the amateurs efficiently. But it seems possible that playing to wipe out weaker or less consistent players could provide enough margin to bully the more stable AI player.
I think DrRacket also has something like this, but it shows lines between identical variables instead of using colors.
I suspect the main authors of the language did not implement multiple dispatch on purpose, as it leads to unsafe edge cases (see https://lexi-lambda.github.io/blog/2016/02/18/simple-safe-mu...)

> Not only do Bitcoin exchanges have a horrible track record about keeping your coins secure ...

I've been using Bitcoin since it first went public. And I have never used an exchange. They want to know too much, for one thing, with all that KYC bullshit. And as you say, they can't be trusted.

But I have used less formal exhange services. And although I've been ripped off a few times, it's worked well for the most part.

> ... it is grotesque that you fear the monetary policy for your "moneys value", when Bitcoin can collapse to 0 any time enough people lose interest in it for speculation.

You keep saying that, but the data doesn't support it. Just look at Bitcoin price history. I used a nine-month moving average for price. And plotted log price, to clearly show older prices.[0]

After the peak in early 2013, price bottomed at ~50% of peak, until the next peak. After the peak in late 2013, price bottomed at ~20% of peak, until the next peak. And the bottom was about twice the previous bottom. After the peak at the end of 2017, price bottomed at ~50% of peak, during early 2019. And the bottom was ~17 times the previous bottom.

So there hasn't been any "collapse to 0".

Shameless self plug, but I wrote something that does the exact same thing as this (https://github.com/antoniomika/sish) but has some added benefits:

1. Don't require installing a local client, use something that is installed almost everywhere: ssh
2. Use a protocol that is already great at multiplexing: ssh
3. Supports authentication using PK/password auth: ssh
4. Completely opensource

Nothing crazy or flashy, just simple and does the job.

Amazon cannot go around VAT, it is paying it in full to the state; Amazon's customer can deduct VAT if the customer is a business and it is using the product in the production of other products or services that are sold and VAT is collected. The state collects VAT in the end, no matter what.
at least in europe with 3d secure authentication, it's easy to get rates under 1% for a new business. If you have big volume is easy to go downwards from that.

It is. You take the good with the bad. There's not a lot of evidence this is "bad" within that spectrum. It's very subjective, since I never had to question my ethics when working in advertising. There are things I will do and things I won't, but I don't champion the eradication of those things I won't do.
OK, thanks, but that war game didn't consider what would've happened if the Germans had learned about the British radar network.

Indeed, notion of carrying your documents is very culturally dependent, from a rational decision to quasi-religious fervently-held belief.

Coming from Eastern Europe originally, I carry my ID everywhere as a matter of habit in Canada; but in turn get very very very nervous and uncomfortable if it's taken from me (for example, at hotels in some countries, or at the border for a quick check).

As much as I loathe to word it way, the public resource is the French citizen. Or, the citizen of the country.

If Amazon bypasses it with gig economy logic then they are depriving the country of tax they would have paid through traditional means.

Amazon owes tax to France for as long as it maintains a workforce out there. They shouldn’t be able to dodge it by treating employees as contractors or having offices in Luxembourg.

It's not.. it is malicious. They want to circumvent os/browser behavior / user protection (the prompt to open zoom). To hack around this they install malware to get things done. It is exactly the same as using doing something that wouldn't pass the appstore checks.

It is actually very competent of them, except for the security part.
To each their own view, but the more wealth someone builds up, the more complex their tax affairs become. Especially if operating internationally. The 401k example is good for a normal employee.

But what if I have businesses in Poland, the UK and Belgium and I can book my investment gains in either of those countries? Am I evading tax because I book it in the country with the lowest taxes? No. You'd be crazy to book it in the highest tax county if you have the freedom to not do so.

The spirit of the law is an extremely hairy discussion, exactly because different people have different views on this. In my view only the exact letter of the law can be interpreted as a set of rules to determine whether you're breaking the law or not.

It is done intentionally by countries like Ireland that otherwise would have zero interest from any investors. And this loophole is actually the foundation of the EU free market: you can produce something in a country, sell in another one, pay VAT in the destination country but pay profit taxes in the origin country. What France and others want is to pay profit taxes also in the destination country, on top of VAT.
The supply of customers is not endless. It's in Shopify's best interest to optimize the churn to success ratio - not simply have more success stories. We all know the metric. Happy customer tell three people. Unhappy customer tell 10 or more.

Facebook Built a Texas Hold ’Em Poker Bot That Can Beat the Pros
Curious if we'll see human poker pros get much better in the coming years as they incorporate training regimens that involve bots (analogous to chess today vs. 50 years ago). Seems like this will be the trend in almost every game.
FWIW, libevent was originally written by an OpenBSD contributor who wished to write portable programs which could make use of kqueue on BSD and select/poll elsewhere. At the time Linux didn't yet have epoll.

In any event, tmux on OpenBSD also uses libevent as libevent is, naturally, part of the base system. libevent as most people know it was originally a portability fork of OpenBSD's version, similar to the portable versions of tmux, OpenSSH, etc, though unlike those projects core libevent development eventually switched to the portable version and OpenBSD stopped (AFAICT) backporting changes wholesale.
The bot does bluff, and in fact it learns from self-play that bluffing is (sometimes) the optimal thing to do. At the end of the day, bluffing is simply betting when you have a weak hand. The bot learns from experience that when it bets with a weak hand, the opponent (another copy of itself) sometimes folds and it makes more money than if it hadn't bet. The bot doesn't view it as deceptive or dishonest. It just views it as the action that makes it the most money.

Of course, a key part of bluffing is getting the probabilities right. You can't always bluff and you can't never bluff, because that would make you too predictable. But our self-play and search algorithms are designed to get those probabilities right.
Agreed. What I said does not protect against BGP blackholing or ISP screw ups rendering services inaccessible. However, all I was pointing out that services could be built for higher uptime than what is currently being offered.

What do you mean by that? The only way I see him dispelling that myth is that he's a 100x programmer instead of a 10x.

These are exactly the reasons why Netherland stopped using voting machines. Although interestingly, it was the fact that anonymity could be compromised, that was the final nail, rather than the lack of transparency.

With paper votes, anyone is able and allowed to check that every step of the voting process is done fairly. You can see the empty voting boxes before the election starts, you can see that everybody puts their one vote in it, you can be present when they're counted. Dutch law made an explicit exception to these rules to make voting machines possible, and that that was even necessary, should have been a massive red flag. And yet this obvious lack of transparency was not enough to get them banned. Only when hackers proved that anonymity could be threatened, were voting machines banned.

Personally I think transparency is more important than anonymity. Compromised transparency enables much larger scale fraud than compromised anonymity, so I'm surprised proving compromised anonymity was even necessary.

Could you explain more what you mean about our growth based economic model not being sustainable? This is a topic that I'm fairly new to and the only substantial thing I've read about it is Tyler Cowen's "Stubborn Attachments" which presented what I found to be a very compelling argument that long term economic growth is very good and is in fact the only sustainable way forward.

I've been hoping to read some counter arguments to that idea to round out my exposure to the topic.

This is true in tournament play. In a cash game it doesn't matter since there is no elimination, you can always rebuy.

What table information does the bot take into account? Position? Other player's stack size?

Is this information used to form an idea of what other players might be holding based on how the other player acts and how closely that action matches Pluribus's 'what if' action?
