Though I'm not much of a poker player myself, I am friends with many professionals who have found success both online and offline, in games from pot-limit omaha to no-limit hold-em.

Cheating in online poker has been around for many years, with varying success by online gaming companies to implement anti-cheat measures in their software. With recent developments in AI, there is renewed discussion about cheating as the best AIs have no trouble beating anything from PLO to NLHE.

It was only a matter of time before this started to spread offline, and just a few weeks ago, I heard a story from a friend of a friend who caught a player using a device similar to this during a private game he was hosting. It's only a matter of time before these sorts of devices continue to spread, and I'm not sure how the world will respond.

It would be a huge deal to cheat at events like the World Chess Tournament, but the consequences of getting caught will likely stop at complete disgrace. Cheating at events like the World Series of Poker, with tens of millions of dollars on the line, or even worse, private events with potentially billions of dollars at stake, could lead to a hell of a lot worse.
You must live in an utopia and/or are very good at reading code. My experience sees a lot of code around me get re-written because of poor comprehension skills.
In my quest to reverse-engineer the Ensoniq Mirage software I reached out to one of the original authors, who replied to my email and said that while he remembered working on the Mirage fondly he couldn't remember any details and no longer had any of his notes or paperwork from the 1980s.
FLAC can use polynomials or lpc, as described in the article.

I'm curious if you'd gain anything by doing an mdct and then modeling in the frequency domain and then storing the residuals... Lots of the frequency channels will usually have much lower energy, so the residuals wind up being easier to store.

The whole point is that some people CAN replicate, but not everyone can, because the documentation for real (interesting) experiments would be so complex for a layman that they would likely become confused and never finish. If I give you and your 20 best friends a $300M EUV machine with all the documentation in the world, the best thing you could do is sell it for $10M in parts. Give it to TSMC or Intel's experts and they will make $Bs in chips at 50% margins. YOU can't replicate the experiment. Most people can't replicate the experiment, and being unable to do so does NOT make you special. However, some people can replicate it many millions of times a year.

Who's results would you publish?

I've played Touring many times!

My grandparents had it, and we used to play all the time in the 1970s and 1980s. The deck they had was a real antique even back then.

I think they actually had two decks. Based on photos from BoardGameGeek[1], one deck was probably from the 1940s and the other from the 1920s or 1930s.

It was a fun game, and even as a kid I enjoyed the cool retro art.

A lot of organized crime is idiots. Aggressive ones etc, but smarts is not exactly the defining feature.

Answer by OpenAI? Good advice tbh.
Programming and math both depend on mastering a language, while much simpler than natural languages, that is both rigid and abstract, at least for beginners. While repetition leading to pattern recognition and comprehension works for everyone acquiring a mother tongue, I am troubled by the de-emphasis of the need of rote learning (that is, work) at the elementary school level. In my own case we did extra exercises (adaptitve q&a a couple of times a day) to make sure our younger one actually master multiplication and division. I remember being worried how kids without additional attention at home would fare.
The hack shows, that users data is at risk regardless of whether users accept the T&Cs.....how moronic to think that accepting new T&C will somehow negate another hack or data breach.

I guess normies will believe it ... :(
Perhaps you were selective about those ~50 countries, as the opening paragraph of Wikipedia agrees with my experience:

Vaccination requirements for international travel are the aspect of vaccination policy that concerns the movement of people across borders. Countries around the world require travellers departing to other countries, or arriving from other countries, to be vaccinated against certain infectious diseases in order to prevent epidemics. AT BORDER CHECKS, these travellers are required to show proof of vaccination against specific diseases; the most widely used vaccination record is the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP or Carte Jaune/Yellow Card). (emphasis supplied)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccination_requirements_for_i...

See also:

The International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP), also known as the Carte Jaune or Yellow Card, is an official vaccination report created by the World Health Organization (WHO). As a travel document, it is a kind of medical passport that is recognised internationally and MAY BE REQUIRED FOR ENTRY to certain countries where there are increased health risks for travellers. (emphasis supplied)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Certificate_of_V...

As noted in prior comment, while I’ve had to have this card for some nations, most countries that require immunization record do it in order to get a VISA, and most airlines consider the visa sufficient.

It may also be that your ~50 countries were not in zones that have these practices. For example, I’ve traveled extensively in these green and light green zones that do:

Johnathan Gruber! Nice work
> My understanding is that many of them were discovered by KF in the first place because they were vexatious litigants.

That seems if anything to reinforce the idea that this is unrelated to welfare?

- KF finds some vexatious litigants and starts targeting them

- The vexatious litigants sue KF

- ???

The pattern that's jumping out to me here isn't that people are on government assistance.
Yes it’s annoying that we’re stuck with UTF-16 inside many programming languages. Still, I think it’s better than having two types of string (C, C++) or introducing a breaking change (looking at you Python 3).
Everything already is running on the same operating system with Kubernetes where it matters (kernel, runc/crun, etc). Containers are a band aid to wrap an app with additional files/libraries/whatever. In Go for instance, I can include all this stuff at compile time (even conditionally!).

I'd love to see Kubernetes be able to schedule executables directly without using containers by way of systemd nspawn or similar. You could have the "container feel" without the complexity of the tool chain required to build/deploy/run/validate containers.
Maybe it's the number of levels down the tree of cuts. With one cut, it's A1; cut the results one more time to get A2; cut the results one more time to get A3; &c.

The inconsistent and often incoherent shadows and lighting effects are immediately annoying in all generated images if you've spent any time working with visual media.
This is why it's unwise to ever post one's location online.

It is truly pitiful, because this is ultimately what social media encourages. They encourage tagging posts by location, they rip the EXIF data from the images (which most users don't even know exists in the first place). This is all information that is fed into the advertising and mass surveillance machine.

At the very least, this is what we have castle doctrine and self-defense law for.
I am not sure why programming should even be considered as beneficial for Math learning. Isn't the question the other way around? - Should Math be beneficial for programming? Math is a tool (for everyone except for 0.000001%, who could use it as an occupation) to use somewhere else. While programming technically is also a tool, it's a tool which is also an occupation for millions of people. So we better make sure that teaching of Math benefits programming, not the other way around.

> for metric users, Celsius is 100% intuitive.

For metric users, Celsius is 100% familiar. Intuitive means that there are a bunch of hints that can give you an idea of values that you don't know. The fact that 0° Fahrenheit is about as cold as you can easily stand and 100° Fahrenheit is about as hot as you can easily stand is something that gives you an intuition: if it's as hot as I can stand, it's about 100°, if it's as cold as I can possibly stand, it's about 0°. I can figure out intermediate values through converting my feelings into a percentage.

You can of course do that with Celsius too, but Celsius hasn't been built around a range of human feeling, it's been built around the phase changes of water. You just have to remember the human comfort range in Celsius, do all the same calculations as above, multiply the result by the difference between your low human range and your high human range, then add that to your low human range to get an answer. There's no help, and it might as well be arbitrary.

I asked GPT-3 about it using an array of vectors of fragments of this page, weighted by relevance (using np.dot(v1,v2)) to the query. This is used to build the prompt for submission to the OpenAI APIs. I'm interested in storing these vectors in a very fast DB for memories.

pastel-mature-herring~> Could this matrix be compressed to binary form for storage in a binary index?

angelic-quokka|> It is possible to compress the matrix to binary form for storage in a binary index, but this would likely decrease the accuracy of the cosine similarity values.
You seem to have a short memory. That was tried last time Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. Look where we are now.

At the point we have to be realistic. The best path forward is just to grind down the Russian will to fight in an endless war of attrition. Keep killing.

No worries! The simplest example I could give is I'm building a Verisign and GoDaddy on crypto. Most people don't know who Verisign is either, nor do they need to.

People don't care about blockchains for the sake of decentralization or whatever, they'll care if they can build cool shit on it easily though. It'll be easier to show when I'm ready to launch.
I am not surprised there was little to no improvement in algebra and arithmetic capabilities. They should measure for discrete math performance instead, as that is what CS is. Programming (for general purpose applications) has very little to do with non-discrete math unless you are doing ML/scientific programming/game development.
Oh yeah. Mike Postle was 100% cheating and getting fed moves from a confederate. But even if he wasn't, this type of setup with communication could simply maximize imperfect information, run it through a "solver" (which is what poker players call their game engines), and return the best plays.

It might be worth editing the title as well. I clicked in to figure out what it meant. Bachelor's degree didn't make much sense...
I have some anecdotal evidence against this. Learning how to write automated proofs using Isabel and HOL definitely improved my ability to write proofs with pen and paper.

I think the suggestion is to use native Linux binaries with static linking of any libraries and resources in the executable.

Java programs would need to be compiled as a standard ELF. I think GraalVM can do this.

While it is technically the obvious way to go, I just can't wait for the first time the systemd-pamd decides that no, it is working on the correct way, and every linux user that decided to upgrade to the last release-marked version should have ported all of their userland first to deal with the non-communicated change, not being able to log on their machines is their fault.

Preferred by whom? I've never encountered a use case where A4 was too skinny. And it certainly never stopped anyone from making paper airplanes from whole sheets at school. A4 folds neatly to sheets of the same ratio, which is its party trick and why the DL and C series of envelopes are a thing.

So I would rephrase the parent poster you replied to even though he replied himself.

There are many programmers that put cart before the horse - they think they should use those patterns even before they start to emerge in their systems and treat those patterns as some kind of a goal.

Whereas one should notice when pattern is applicable because it starts emerging as such - and GoF wrote down descriptions for people to realize what these are and have names to call it out.

Like if you would be tasked to build local "folks music" museum and you insist that it has to be built just like Guggenheim Museum because that is state of art of building museums.

So real architect should say "well for folks music museum - build a shed, put on some folksy clothing on mannequins, set mp3 player with folksy music, that is good enough ... what is your budget? ... well it will not be enough for top grade sound systems so maybe a smartphone instead of mp3 player with amplifier".

Most of people in software dev should stop pretending they are building next Guggenheim Museum and accept they are building shed from wooden planks.
Correct, and the difference between them and KF is (a) their market cap and (b) the work they've done, consistently, to address issues when they come up, up to and including using automation to scale the moderation pipeline.

KF either can't or won't keep its house in order, and at this point, the can't-won't difference is immaterial. I welcome someone making a solid run at providing another channel alongside Twitter / FB / et al, but this ain't it.

The Nordic countries have the best social safety nets in the world and their native birthrate is still dismal. What short of significant financial incentives would you do?

I didn't want to bring attention to it because I can't play the game or something, but because I wonder whether anti-bot war isn't going into some crazy direction,

Why would I use it? Because, as I said, it all fits on a microSD card (and that's a 256GB card, which is not the largest you can get). Yours would fit on the larger-sized card with plenty of space left over.

No, I did not say "it serves no purpose." Those are your words. And I didn't say I can't hear the difference, either, I said I don't care if I can't.

My purpose is "you don't throw away information."
People have the freedom to say awful things. That's part of free speech. But shunning then for saying these awful things is also part of my free speech. Calling on others to shun them for saying these awful things is also part of my free speech. You cannot have free speech without also allowing people to be ostracized (even in organized campaigns) for how they use it.
It also finally has application audio capture built in. This isn't such a big deal for a dedicated streaming box, but if you're using it for screen recording, it's nice to not grab audio from programs other than the intended one.
Saturated fat: villain and bogeyman of cardiovascular disease?
In the source material they look pretty much just like Men. The most consistent difference seems to be their height (they’re taller than Men) and the fact that their bodies don’t really age at the same rate. There’s never any mention of them having pointy ears, or any other obvious physical characteristic.

I think there are several places across the Silmarillion and other books where it’s mentioned that some Men are mistaken for Elves. If I recall correctly, this happened with Túrin, who was given the name Adanedhel (“Man-Elf”), which he got because he was so alike to them.

The Wizards are given the appearance of old men, but the Men think that they’re elves. Gandalf’s name comes from the Old Norse for “wand/staff elf”. In-universe, in the north he was known as “The Elf of the Wand”, because Men mistook him for an Elf.

Also, I’m not sure that calling them a “different species” is accurate. They certainly can produce offspring with Men just fine.

Interesting! I'm not familiar with how French electric and gas is set up, but in the US we don't really sell electricity or gas to the end user in a market, so there are no market prices. In what way was EDF made to sell below "market" electricity?
Actually I have a related question about CDs: do any CD players indicate when the (Reed-Solomon I think) forward error correction actually corrects any errors? This could give an indication of the quality of the media. It could be total corrected error count, or corrected error count per minute.. something like that.

Second, do any give an indication of when the error correction fails: I think CD players just fill the missing data with the last sample value (certainly this was the case for first gen CD players)- but this FLAC encoding gives a better procedure: replace the missing samples from those of a predictive model. But either way, it would be nice to know when the playback is not perfect.

I don't think the goal of KF is to de-platform individuals, but merely to discredit them by publishing demeaning information and rumors about them. So they are categorically different: one side is pro-free-speech, and the other side is pro-censorship.

"Doxxing" doesn't restrict someone else's free speech. It just discourages them from conducting speech under their public identity.

If you ask me, what they ought to do is "counter-dox" the KiwiForum users and give them a taste of their own medicine.
> LNG

LNG only accounts for a small portion of the EU natural gas imports, most of their gas is imported in gaseous form.

Main extra-EU partners for imports of natural gas, 2021:

Russia: 39.2%
Norway: 25.1%
Algeria: 8.2%
United States: 7.3% <-- The one you're blaming.
United Kingdom: 6.5%

All natural gas import, LNG and gaseous combined, only account for 24.9% of EU energy imports. In 2021, 61.8% of EU energy imports were crude oil.

Main extra-EU partners for imports of petroleum oil, 2021:

Russia: 24.8%
Norway 9.4%
United States: 8.8% <-- The one you're blaming.
Libya: 8.2%
Kazakhstan: 8.0%
