Guessing it's because it's most similar to a regular 6max game. Also it should limit lower the number of possible ways to play a hand, less chips means the correct choices are easier, so maybe it's computationally easier
It's all garbage. I don't get why anyone thinks these ads are any worse than any other online adverts. If anything, they're less creepy because they're generic clickbait and they don't appear to be tracking me or targeting me personally.
This article is from 2017 and I’m sure was on HN before.
> By "classical QM", I meant regular, Schrodinger-equation QM, not "quantum trajectory theory" QM.

"Regular" QM is not limited to the Schrodinger Equation. You also have to use the collapse postulate and the Born Rule where appropriate, i.e., whenever measurements are made. QTT is basically just a reformulation that makes it easier to see how to make use of the information revealed by measurements.

The "Schrodinger" viewpoint referred to in the article is not the Schrodinger Equation, but Schrodinger's personal take on QM.
Hard to say, this is matter of political option so it changes regularly :) my easy guess is that most people like benefits paid thanks to the taxes but do not like paying them :D
I'm more partial to the summer interns hypothesis.
I agree that automated systems applied to the same task will (eventually) beat human performance by a lot, but there are 2 issues that make this less relevant in this case.

The first is one relates to this application of facial recognition targeting poor people. This woman had no documentation on her. I'd wager this is really common in Brazil. How could she possibly prove she is _NOT_ the person the software with 99.999..% accuracy says she is?

If the actual criminal wasn't already in jail, would she be set free in the same day she was arrested?

The second issue is perhaps more universal to other automations, but certainly potentializes the first one, dealing with _scale_. Human cops can't check every person they see against the entire database of wanted people.

25% of false-positives from every cop is a hell of a lot less than 0.00001% of an automated system when applied to every crowd, everywhere, all the time.
lol how about with the offshore devs that rightfully should've gotten the entire fee for the work? why is it always that the company is the loser and not the labor that's being arbitraged against
That value is per month, which would be roughly 2 million euros / year. An average of 50k euro / (person * year), seems pretty reasonable.
It's really a shame that a (relatively easy to implement) solution exists to a problem, that could potentially save lives in this case, should be left to the wayside and a new solution needs to be invented. Which, that solution may also not be implemented.

I guess I have a little bit of surprise left in me on this issue.
I will observe, without asserting that it is actually the case,

that successful executions of #3 should be indistinguishable from #4.

(And this is maybe a consequence of #1).
Can you elaborate on the ridiculous hiring process?
Neal - super interesting stuff. Couple of questions:

1) What were the reasons for choosing 6-handed play (assuming logistical and costs)? It would be interesting to see how the bot’s strategy would differ in a full ring game.
2) Are there any plans to commercialize the bot as a tool for training human players?
Nothing. Depends on the mode of operation we want to support. I want to support that, but we need to add some signal handling (or similar mechanism) to properly reload configs after an raunchy is done.

Right now a restart would be required.

> There were two formats for the experiment: five humans playing with one AI at the table, and one human playing with five copies of the AI at the table. In each case, there were six players at the table with 10,000 chips at the start of each hand. The small blind was 50 chips, and the big blind was 100 chips.

In the fb article linked above.
Interesting article. Too bad a don't have a subscription to read the paper.

The bot played like 10 000 hands. There is no way that is enough to prove it's better or worse than the opponents.

More so in no-limit where some key all-ins can turn the game up side down. The variance is higher than limit or fixed, right?

I did a heads up Texas holdem fixed bot with "counter factual regret minimization" like 8 years ago from a paper I read. It had to play like 100 000 hands vs a crappy reference bot to prove it was better.

Strategy detection in so short games is probably worthless.

The edge is probably in seeing who are tired or drunk in paper poker.
Rule one of having interns and retaining your sanity is that interns get their own branch to muck around in.
We considered both options but decided to go with 100BB because that is the standard in the poker world. It doesn't make a big difference for these techniques though.
Your suspicions are exactly opposite from what I can tell talking to a number of blue-collar people. A lot of the ones I’ve talked to seem very apprehensive about learning anything technical involving a computer, and it all seems kind of mystical in there eyes. Honestly I think a lot of what holds people back is a lack of confidence and a willingness to learn more than anything else.
>He wasn't honest with the companies that the work product was not his.

When dealing with companies, so many of them strongly specialize in methods of dishonestly that aren't quite illegal and in using information differences to their advantage, purposefully choosing to avoid any chance of disclosure. To that extent, I have a hard time as seeing the morals as questionable and instead seeing it as someone beating companies at their own game, assuming he never directly lied that it was his own work. Companies almost never tell you what they view the real value of your work to be, which is also hiding a form of information that the other party would have found relevant in negotiation the trade of money for work.
Well, maybe a data scientist should do some research into a platform's terms before taking on a job there. And read up on a topic properly when writing a blog post.

> No, software written in C is and will continue to be replaced by software written in modern memory safe languages; the trend is strong and growing, to the point where we tend to look askance at (1) new software written in C and (2) popular software written in C that doesn't need to be written in C.

When will we get an ANSI standard for one of these new fangled languages?

Go is captive to Google, and Rust is more akin to C++ than C -- neither have an actual standard with competing compilers.

Until that changes, I think plenty of new software will be written in C, especially freestanding and embedded software.
I think one famous Minnesota politician called it the Hoot-Smalley tariff.
Not really. There are plenty of chips out there without even a C compiler. Some don't even support Turing Completeness. There's even more that were designed and installed before manufacturers started slapping C compilers together for their DSPs, FPGAs, and MCUs.

It would be weird to care about memory safety when your board doesn't even have a heap!
Yeah, my question for the author is if stack depth was relevant for this experiment. In headups, they exhausted the entire tree, in six max, they went to a fixed depth.
And what makes Android what it is to most consumers - Google Play Services is also proprietary as well as all of the drivers. Not to mention whatever the OEMs and the carriers add.

My comment was that "walking away" every time one has a founder conflict is not without financial consequences.

I didn't actually make any comments about marriages being more or less important or impactful than startups.
I just think there are a lot of people out there who have no idea how much money we make for a typical job, and therefore don't know what's reasonable. They may have worked hourly jobs in the past and have calibrated their hourly rates to those going rates rather than doing any kind of market research. $20/hr would be pretty good for a journeyman carpenter in some areas I've lived.
> it often feels like so much useless hand wringing and lamenting.

Not every comment on the Internet needs to be actionable, but sure.

> Further, language design does not imply better products.

That's fair, but we aren't talking about products here. We're talking about an announcement of a language implementation. Jazz records won't cure cancer, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about jazz.

Not defending any language design or any technical choices over others here at all, just saying if you want to see a change in the state of things sentiments like this are more like eating popcorn while you watch the world go by.

My day job is working on a language, for what it's worth, so I can both eat popcorn and work to change the state of things.
If you're interested in a deeper dive into this, Andreas Zeller's Udacity course is excellent: https://www.udacity.com/course/software-debugging--cs259

Despite the name, it's not a "how to drive PDB/GDB/JDB/etc." course, but focuses on the higher level concepts of how to identify bugs and build tools that automate the debugging process.

Amazon should and probably will just raise prices for French shoppers.
That's still not a company I'd been keen to work for. I'd rather work for a company where the Product Managers at least create the content for the website if not actually run it.
geez, tough crowd. do you wanna ten dollar hug?
It depends who you ask. I think it's inevitable that it's released one day. By not releasing you're just delaying it.

All the top high stakes players already have solvers that they've spent a lot of money developing and studying privately. They would definitely be upset with you, but by releasing the code you are democratizing the information to all the midstakes pros who want to study but don't have the resources to pay developers and solve the game privately.
Very interesting comments that reflects the difference of values between french and north americans!
What’s stopping them from performing an offline IP location lookup and requesting location specific search results without sharing the IP with Microsoft?
I'm a four season bike commuter too (boosted board when it's hot out). I'm done following the rules of the road just because— I'll do what's safest for me. If the police want people outside of cars to follow the rules "for our safety", they need to make the first move and actually enforce the car-side rules that would help make us safer as well.

The big one in Ontario is yielding to crosswalks. As of September last year, failing to yield to a crosswalk is supposed to be $1000 (!) fine. But as far as I know, there hasn't been one single instance of that ticket being handed out in my city, yet I witness pedestrians cut off by vehicles literally daily. I've even posted helmet cam videos of it happening to Facebook and YouTube and tagged my local politicians. Nothing happens.
I used to work on Upwork and almost all of the projects required screen logging. I think this was before there was any webcam thing in it.
They are not running out of talent but they are running out of starry-eyed tech dreamers and people that can be exploited of their passion. The SF Bay area tech scene is fizzling out and the excitement is long gone. Also, this is a chance for top tech execs and their friends to capitalize on the real estate speculation game as they reinforce the new talent pipeline to NYC.

FEC: Campaigns Can Use Discounted Cybersecurity Services
In the paper we include a graph of performance over the course of the 10,000-hand 5 humans + 1 AI experiment that was played over 12 days. There's no indication that the bot's performance decreased over time (there is a temporary downward blip in the middle, but that's likely just variance). Based on discussions with pros, it sounds like they didn't find any weaknesses and they didn't seem to think they'd find any given more time.
to be more clear, perhaps they could demand those taxes from Ireland, or Luxembourg where amazon is. This is like california taxing startups because they are based in Delaware.
The discourse on mobile traffic is all very interesting, but for a blogpost introducing new tool for capturing that traffic, I would have been more interested in hearing more about the diagnostic protocol you are using and its capabilities.
Malicious intent is the only thing that separates malware from a regular security issue. So if we disagree on intent we have to keep disagreeing on whether or not it's malware.

But I will admit that I'm starting to see the question of Zoom's intent a bit differently after thinking about what you have said.
That does not make it not arbitrary, there is no logic in that statement.
You mean the same Flash that Adobe said they could have gotten to work on the original iPhone - with 128MB of RAM and a 400Mhz processor but barely worked on Android with minimum requirements of a 1Ghz processor and 1GB of RAM?
I also suspect it would not be able to maintain a ~40bb/100 hand win rate. The thing about human players is, while the best are capable of learning and employing truly balanced GTO strategies, in practice they rarely adhere to these because other humans (even good pros) will still have exploitable flaws in their strategies, and attempting to exploit these will be more profitable than sticking to the unexploitable strategy; of course it also opens the exploiter to counter-exploitation, creating a fluctuating cycle of players trying to exploit, getting exploited, then moving back towards playing unexploitably. That's the normal state of a pro's strategy in a given game - so to switch to a steady state of always playing unexploitably would be a fairly big adjustment even to top tier pros who are capable of it.
It seems the simplest solution would be to never collect the data in the first place. Can't sell what you don't have.
AppSync does have limitations we have to contend with. Custom scalar types cannot be defined hence we are not able to define strictly typed GeoJSON objects. Apache VTL has its own learning curve; once you master it you can implement functionality without leaning on invoking lambda functions and avoid paying for their usage in high volume GraphQl call scenarios and access queried data faster.

if you take in account that when selling physical items the selling margins are between 15% and 25%, you are paying 3k to make 15K profits, thats a 20% of your benefits. In much cases those 3k could be the difference between a profitable business and one that isn't profitable.
Ask HN: How comfortable are you participating in the “Google Experiment”?
Google once was David against Microsoft's Goliath. Not anymore.

Now Google is just another Goliath with its own objectives: to know everything about you, by every possible means, before anyone else. And the excuse is "to help you get things done" but the reasons are all the old ones: profit, market share etc.

How comfortable are you with that?
How do you think the tax system works?

As soon as you do business,you have to register yourself to the "tax office"..

Now you structure you company in such a way, that the company
pays more money for the trademarks of your partner company, than you make.

Now of course, that is something a small company with 50 people can't do.

So the company with 50 people can't make ends meet, and the company which makes 200 million, continous to make money hand over fist.
Is there a way to see the EV the bot is calculating when it's deciding between checking and donk betting? When you place these spots in solvers, they actually advocate for a significant amount of donk betting on certain boards, but pros don't do it because the EV is marginal and it's better for pros to simplify their strategy so they make less mistakes. If you have a flop donk bet strategy, you also have to develop a corresponding turn and river strategy, which makes it extremely difficult.
I think I've been pretty clear that it isn't my problem.
There's plenty of engineers that already live in those cities though?
At the highest levels of play psychological factors are pretty minimal. Before a showdown which cards you actually hold aren't particularly material, as the only information you convey is through your bids. This means if you predict that you're more likely to win a hand by bidding (and inducing a fold) than by calling and going to a showdown it makes mathematical sense to "bluff". I'm sure AIs have no trouble learning that fact.
All changes should be in a new branch.

I think that you can, as long as the entire project as a whole, when distributed, is licensed by GPL, even if all of your own source files use MIT license. (Since it is compatible, it can be done.) If you later remove CGAL then you do not need GPL, I think, and can distribute the version without CGAL as MIT license. (However, I am not a copyright lawyer so I don't know, but I think this is correct.)
I think it is impossible to sell anything in the EU without VAT, which is a much higher taxation rate than profit (not as percentage, but as money: VAT is 20-25% of the product or service price, profit can be as low as 1-5%.
What the likes of Amazon, Google or Facebook are not paying is profit tax, pretending they have no profits. French companies that have no profits also don't pay profit tax.
> If you look at hockey, it is mostly white. That doesn't mean being white gives you an advantage in playing hockey. It just means way more white people enjoy hockey compared to black people.

As best I can tell, tmux is developed primarily by Nicholas Marriott for OpenBSD and made portable with libevent. The original paper uses OpenBSD, and here[1] he says: “I preferred to work on it in base: I felt tmux would be improved by being part of OpenBSD.”

Can't forget about performance.
Colluding bots are the main worry if you play online though.
This is generally true. Most languages were carefully designed and if they are disliked now, it's mainly because we've forgotten their original constraints in which the language's design made sense. (For example, header files in C are a reasonable approach when your compiler can't fit an entire source file in memory.)

But JS and PHP aren't that. They both have a lot of good ideas in them but they are also both hampered by lots of initial mistakes in their design. JS because it was designed so quickly, PHP because it was cobbled together ad-hoc by someone who wasn't focused on the design of the language.

Semicolon insertion in JS doesn't represent a smart trade-off from the past, it was just a bad design whose author didn't have time to fix it before it hit the marketplace [0]. Likewise, PHP's wildly inconsistent core library names aren't a sign of some thoughtful hidden order. They're because Rasmus lazily used strlen() as the hash function for strings and wanted them to go into different buckets [0].

At stupid low interest rates expect that trend to continue.

The pressure on spending is often driven by factors that are growing, like inflation which pushes up raw costs, and population, which is also growing. Outside of some discretionary spending (e.g. military) you can't really put a limit on it.
I'd normally go for #4 but hypotheses #3 is starting to be a more plausible explanation for the timely "coincidence".
Correct. That's why we have an established, well worn process for raising funding for your business. You raise from accredited investors by selling the highest-risk equity, then as you become more mature, you raise from bigger, less risk-tolerant entities. Eventually, you're in a position to publish financials regularly, and raise money from a broader audience ("go public"). Your itemized list is why we do it that way. This "tokenize everything" end run around the SEC is a just a way to bilk low-income individuals of their hard-earned savings.
