Do you think human players could use the results of this paper to learn how to be better poker players? I'm wondering if it could be an alpha go type situation where players learned different strategies.
I have seven versions of Illustrator sitting on my computer. The last five work just fine if I try to run them (albiet with a bunch of "this is from an unknown developer" errors from OSX on the plugins for 2018). OSX says 2014 and 2015 "may be damaged or incomplete".

There might be some deliberate breakage of very old versions, I dunno, but you can definitely keep on working with old versions for several years. Which is a good thing given that the .0 version of a new release has a 25% chance of being completely unusable due to either a killer bug or a feature change that breaks your workflow until enough people scream on the bug/feature request forum for them to add a fix/switch in the .1 version.
They were clearly consumer. I think the reporting is off, I just don’t know why.
They stopped making machines he could repair and parts for the few that he could.
I fondly remember the actual Maytag repairman coming to my parents’ house when I was a child (he also did Kenmore and a few other brands). And the subsequent years as he explained what not to buy until it got to the point where he couldn’t recommend anything (at least near the prices his customers were used to in rural eastern Canada).
I suspect its the Mike Smith who was a FreeBSD committer and core team member 20-ish years ago.
where did you get 3.25 billion? is that a years worth of subscription income? Does game pass blow up after that or something? Have subscriptions just stopped, 18 million and ..... no more growth.
Not true. Flash mobs stealing things is not a US exclusive thing.
Sorry but how is that even comparable?

My comment is actually encouraging „hacking“ in the sense of finding unusual solutions other than the officially approved way.
All of the carbon we put in the atmosphere was transported (oil, coal, etc) to the location where it was used so this rings false. Presumably the carbon will be pulled from the atmosphere on site and stored on site anyway.

Maybe something like building solar arrays in semi-arid regions and mixing up the resulting solid carbon into the local soil for some ecological engineering or filling up old mining pits.
No evidence of this, so I take it as nothing more than a conspiracy theory
Not even mentioning Pluribus is just bad journalism
Not sure what the difference is but either probably works for my use case.
The carbon byproduct is essentially coke, and coke already has a lot of industrial uses.
I don't understand your argument: if the shady things they're doing have gotten leaked, isn't this because they were doing those shady things in the first place? Can you conclude one way or the other that the net is so loose that bad things will always see the light of day? Don't forget that with PRISM taking 6 years to be disclosed and MKUltra having taken 22, a lot of people rightly don't have such idealized views anymore.
Hmmm... This is the same result basically. Weirdly, the OP paper doesn't cite this paper in Advanced Materials at all, although the OP paper was submitted 2 days before the Advanced Materials paper was published.

Anyway, good to see it works in two different labs.

EDIT: The Advanced Materials paper's process seems to produce carbon oxides, whereas the OP paper produces solid carbon. I suppose this is an important difference, the latter being more useful.
Yeah it can be emulated many ways just curious if anyone has actually modified or built the original source to arm target natively.

The reply above (currently second) has links to forks that build from source to arm (for switch and android). Looks like the original code is pretty hearty and can be compiled to those targets with minimal code changes (mostly for drawing calls and input mapping).

Modern compiler devs are wizards.

Very cool.
FWIW, I just had a game where these were my guesses:

IRATE
SOUND
PLUMB
FOUND (the answer)

In fact I nearly always play "SOUND" after "IRATE", even if I know it can't be correct, and in this case I knew PLUMB couldn't be correct - after the 2nd word I knew it was -OUND, but there are a lot of words ending in -OUND, so I wanted to eliminate as many as possible in the next move. PLUMB would either eliminate or indicate POUND MOUND or BOUND as the solution, and once it did the former, it was either FOUND HOUND WOUND, and I got lucky. In fact I should have played WHOMP which would have given me a better chance (given LOUND is not a word). In this sense the game is somewhat different to the coloured peg game "Mastermind", where there's no benefit in making a guess that can't possibly be correct.
Voter opinion on individual issues is not a valid metric for evaluating how well the "will of the voters" is being represented.
anti-BDS regulations, implemented through either legislation or a governor’s order, require businesses contracting with the state to affirm that they are not participating in a boycott of Israel. I don't know of any laws that have attempted to silence individual citizens or direct their ability to protest as individuals (not businesses who also want government contracts).
The "speedy" part was to prevent the government from locking people up indefinitely while awaiting a trial that was never going to happen.
I'm reminded of how Linux beat GNU Hurd, or how systemd is slowly replacing SysVinit. Highly modular systems often lose out to more monolithic ones, since they tend to be slower, more complex, and harder to use in practice, despite their theoretical advantages.
I believe it was 2 months — do you have a source showing 6? Also, the paternity leave started in August, and he started in January according to wikipedia.

I would agree that Buttigieg didn't come in with much expertise, and he sure hasn't generated great results. But there's no need to exaggerate the length or timing of his paternity leave to make these points.

Honestly, I think the more damning point is that the public was unaware he was on paternity leave until a month or so after he'd left. If he had been taking charge of the supply chain crisis before leaving, his absence would have been noted much sooner.
That could even be a feature if used to compute just the list of active jobs. Later pgs might need to be explicit to reinsert the optimization barrier, as the implicit one for all Cates was removed.
Good suggestion! I'm just a little skeptical as the job is remote and paid hourly. I submit my hours at the end of each week. I don't want to submit my timesheet and then be like "Oh hey yeah by the way these X hours are for something completely unrelated to what I was assigned. Hope that's okay." If it were salary based or something else I'd be totally willing to dive in but as is I don't want to ask to be paid for something that they may not have even wanted me to do.
Let's not forget the 4 billion in American tax dollars they except every year for "defense".
PCs too. I’ve lost hours to OSX updates that bricked my dev setup (making me reinstall / compile libraries, disabling my second monitor, etc.). First thing I do is turn off auto update and wait for releases to bake for a while and until I have enough time to deal with any breakages.

Not great for security though…
It seems early commenters missed the point of me posting a link to the original story. :-)

I'm saying there should be a law where the govt punishes the company.

If the law needs me as an individual consumer to procure my own team of lawyers to go up against a multinational every time I buy a new TV, then that law might as well not exist.
I feel like that was actually a fairly legitimate removal by Sony. Sony was selling the consoles at a loss in order to make money on the games. People were taking advantage by buying cheap Linux computers, never allowing Sony to recoup money from the initial sale. I don't have much sympathy for the people abusing the system in this particular case. Probably an unpopular opinion around here.
> Truthfully, I think most property crime would be stopped in its tracks if people didn't have economic reasons to commit petty theft.

As someone who grew up poor this type of racist/classist argument is insulting. The poor have morales, values and pride too. The people robbing these trains are criminals and do not represent the community they live in. Frankly your hurting poor kids by allowing these criminals to be present and act like role models.
Putting aside the details of how to make it fast on MySql, I always push back on pagination designs that require direct addressing. Pages don't have any semantic meaning for the person clicking on them. Why would they click on page 17? They're not looking for specifically the 170th-179th results of whatever the query is. There are few cases where this is a useful UX and this is for roughly the same reason the DB is bad at it.

So my playbook here is to ask if direct addressing is really needed and then, when it isn't, switch to using cursors.
The "right-to-repair" sentiment is totally understandable, as the article says. However, on the other hand, imagine some user modified the underlying Android, which caused the treadmill to run unstoppably, which end up injuring him. He then sues the company for millions of dollars. If I were the owner of the company, I would rather losing some customers than sleeping on a ticking bomb. Their move is also understandable.

I think an ideal solution could be the manufacturer officially supports accessing the "privilege mode" with some sort of "release of liability". Customer must agree to this the first time they access, forfeiting warranty and ability to sue. Much like when people decide to unlock phone bootloader and root.

And to make all manufacturers willing to provide privilege mode to their products, I think either 1) the court makes clear statement of supporting this legally, or 2) having a supreme court precedence established for this, is required, otherwise some manufacturers would still fear the potential legal risk.
Yes - ADHD is a social construct. But this is not unique to ADHD among mental disorders.

IIRC it's "solved" for heads up but not really multiway like 3+ to the flop. I believe in a recent Bart Hanson Youtube he points out that mutltiway is not solved.
I'm currently grieving a large loss and reading an amazing book "finding meaning, the sixth stage of grief".

I cannot recommend it highly enough!!! The writer is a grief researcher and counselor who lost his adopted son to an overdose. The counseling wisdom along with stories from every angle and type of grief are amazing.

Get this book if you could ever use it!

From your post, people grief at massively different rates and processes. Unfortunately, grievers will often take another person's grief or thier own grief as wrong because it looks so different.
“ Some customers are threatening to boycott the workwear company”. I doubt anyone that buys Carhartt cares.
> Existing chat programs use formatted messages with quotes, bold text, smilies and whatnot.

Right, but they're not arbitrarily nested tree structures. They're structured data that you want to represent in a structured way (e.g. lists of different kinds of spans), but I don't think a full DOM tree is a good representation.
I actually agree completely with that!
Also note that these days Windows itself is an "emulator" in much the same way Wine is when running apps in the various compatibility modes for earlier Windows versions.

Still, even today people tend to think of emulation as implying some sort of required slowdown. Unlike something like ARM or console emulation, most slowness in Wine has just been bugs rather than an inherent limitation of the concept.
Talk to your coworkers to find a mentor who can help you. I have read this story before and the folks that don't ask for help (and learn their dev tools, both standard and internal) are let go regardless of whether they want to move on or not. Difficulty navigating code is the tell tale sign - if others are being productive and you're not, ask them what they are doing and how they work. You will learn the tricks and tools of the trade.

It's fun to start new projects because it's easy and there's quick payoff. That said, no one really has a place for a serial project-starter on their team and the majority of your work in your career will be like this. Learning how to explore and modify/test a large existing codebase is crucial not only to how we work on software, but also to learn how to build (or not build) new projects from scratch in the future.

That's not to say there aren't codebases that are easier or harder to learn, shops with crappy tools, or that there aren't awesome startups doing new things all the time. If you want my advice, I'd say stick around for at least a year to eighteen months and learn how to navigate and work in a big codebase with tech debt and legacy, because when you move on to start a new project you'll know how to avoid the pitfalls or how to deal with it as it arises in that project.

Then get it from *ahem* elsewhere, you've paid for access to that content in that quality, if they can't provide that… Maybe if enough do that they'll fix the problem, so they can start tracking your use of the content again when you return to consuming it their way.
6 figures. Turns out there's a lot more (and less risky) money in software development than there is in poker. I gave up the professional poker life pretty early and actually made quite a lot more as a talented "amateur" with a Silicon Valley software dev salary that took away the risk of ruin constraints I had a pro. Plus I didn't really enjoy playing professionally anyways - it's pretty mindnumbingly boring to play the number of hands you need to in order to get the EV/variance tradeoff to some acceptable point, at least for me.

My highest and lowest sessions were in the 5 figure range (cash game player, not tournament), so I was never up in the really nosebleed stakes, but I was high enough up that a lot of the nosebleed players would play in my games. Some of them have an impressive ability to play their A-game even when switching between games an order of magnitude in stakes apart. Some of them, uh, don't. People you've seen on TV are overwhelmingly more likely to be in the second category and were generally welcome in my games, at least for monetary reasons. (There was an old screenshot of Phil Hellmuth sitting at a full 9- or 10-handed 300/600 limit hold'em table online. He's out of chips and every other player is sitting out, waiting for him to reload. I have a pretty similar live story about him.)
> What exactly is keeping developers from making a fully featured open source web browser not at the mercy of Google or the browser's developers?

It is incredibly difficult to build a web browser because of the sheer complexity and scope. You are essentially building an entire platform on the scale of an operating system that must support legacy features and behavior from decades ago. Users expect everything to just work, and if you can't make it work, then they have little incentive to use your product. Just ask Microsoft[0].

Timothy Snyder: “How to think about war in Ukraine”
oh wait, Google showed me this:

> Machines have raised the stakes once again. A superhuman poker-playing bot called Pluribus has beaten top human professionals at six-player no-limit Texas hold’em poker, the most popular variant of the game. It is the first time that an artificial-intelligence (AI) program has beaten elite human players at a game with more than two players

If you read what the page and price says you'll see that there is a couple of offers available now that reduced the windows price with ~260 USD.

I mean, I feel like that's fairly obvious, and the playful pedantry of my comment in a discussion on the very definition of basic unit of measurement was overlooked.

If we are going so far as to rigidly include "sea level" in the definition of "a second", it would probably help if we say that that we mean mean sea level.

Know what I mean?
Don’t mistake your product preferences for the average consumer.

Some people will select a washer based on the available color scheme or some “anti-bacterial” setting.

Or it can be as simple as “that washer is 20% cheaper, I don’t care if it doesn’t last as long”.
It’s reasonable for people to want those who do harm in their community to be removed from it so they can’t continue to perpetuate that harm, isn’t it?
Americans have quite a bit of shared history and culture. It's quite bizarre, not to mention factually incorrect, that you would say religion [of which is supposed to be completely separate from the state so that Americans wouldn't by default be defined by their religion] is what held together 80% of the US.

I think poker in general is slowly dwindling but somehow the solver in fact got more popular over the years. I think the pandemics helped us a bit and maybe general switch to nie analytical play. To be honest I don't understand it very well. We have never done any marketing, our website is terrible (put together on a free Shopify template and never really updated) but somehow it keeps getting more traction.
Did IL6 exist at the time? I'm guessing the informal name is just "the building after the ones which actually exist".

The only emotion I can feel is disgust. Disgust that Microsoft would tacitly approve of Kotick's decades of harboring, encouraging, and protecting sexual assault within his companies. The man allegedly, and settled out of court, for telling his secretary he was "going to have her killed". He hid internal sexual assault allegations from the board. They threw parties with strippers & DJs telling the women to drink more so their male coworkers could have more fun. They passed around a nude picture of a female coworker, leading to her suicide. An awesome person was promoted to be head of Blizzard, before leaving just months later, telling the board that she had experienced years of sexual misconduct working there, and there was no hope for them to ever change their frat-boy culture.

This isn't old information. It came to light just weeks before Halo Infinite was released. Phil Spencer & Microsoft had to be well into discussions at this point; and it didn't phase them. They didn't stipulate that he would have to leave; they instead leave him in charge of the company post-acquisition. They fire, what, a couple dozen people? In a company of tens of thousands?

Just... disgust. Maybe a little hope that Microsoft can improve their culture, but without signaling a fundamental change in leadership, that hope is dim. But at least they'll make some money.

I've tested old Delphi versions and they were a joy to use under WINE.

For the more adventurous, years ago there was a"special" version of Delphi 7 around called like "Delphi 7.2 second edition" which essentially was to plain Delphi what the "ultra lite" versions of the OS were to XP back then: the author removed all the cruft, applied lots of optimizations here and there making the compiler a lot faster and the entire package much smaller. If memory serves, the entire installation file was less than 50MB. It literally flied on old machines.
Was it legal? Definitely not, but it was probably safe; when installed on Windows it didn't trigger any AV.
SQLite would not be a good choice.

DOC file format, combined with OLE containers, was designed at least partly to deal with common practice of keeping documents on floppies, and to make saving documents as speedy as possible.

This meant a combination of pseudo filesystem (OLE containers can be summarised as a variation of FAT filesystem) and blittable data structures. This way when you saved an updated version of the document, Word would only extend the file with new changes, minimizing amount of I/O necessary.

Another aspect to this was that DOC was not supposed to be interchange file format - that's a role that was supposed to belong to RTF. Which was much easier to parse and had formal, published specification instead of memory dumps of internal data structures. However it took a more resources to update such file, so RTF and DOC were kept in sync when it came to capabilities all the way to Office 2003 - everything you could do in DOC, you could do in RTF, and vice-versa.

Of course, practice quickly went in different direction and most people only think of RTF as the simpler sibling of DOC, because WordPad on Windows used it.
It's in the OP
Not quick nor easy at all - it was an optimization for end users.
Nobody blamed Trump for the pandemic even after he downplayed it and referred to it as a 'democrat hoax' at a rally. Now, it seems like Biden is left holding the bag, simply because he claimed to have a plan to address it. A pandemic isn't some finite, controllable force. It adapts and mutates when given the chance to do so. And the failure of almost 40% of our highly-fractured population to accede to vaccines, masks, or lockdowns is making these mutations possible and likely. You can't just spray the air to rid the world of this virus. It has to be killed within its human hosts or blocked at points of infection.

The anti-vaccine crowd at first pointed to lacking FDA approval and once that came, refused due to possible 'long term side effects'. I'm unfamiliar with any infamy around long-term side effects of past vaccines, so I see this as something of an excuse. It's just easier to blame the President who promised to get it under control, isn't it? But is it fair?
Uh, what? How did making blacks sit at the back of the bus improve economic efficiency? It may be argued that many legal systems, far from being a boon to economic productivity, actually hindered growth in many nations due to their use in oppressing underclasses for the benefit of a ruling "elite," i.e., rapacious predator class.

Reality isn't so nice and theoretically pure. People want power and they develop various systems to gain and secure their power.
Thanks, all great advice. Really appreciate it.
