As an ex-professional player and a software engineer, gotta agree here. There have actually been proofs-of-concept for reading cards off these RFID tables. It's not hard to believe someone improved on that technology and put it all together with a buzzer in her pocket saying "you have the best hand."

Agree that these levels of bold, decisive claims are signals about what makes poker a great game.

Nobody has near enough evidence to be sure. I think the play is incredibly suspect, and I think I've met many players at the tables stupid enough to make it. It's not common, but they exist and keep playing.

What is exceptionally stupid are the guys saying "it would be a mistake to call here if you were cheating" while still believing "she called with J4 because she's really bad." Their logic requires her to make a (massive) mistake with J4, but assumes she wouldn't make a much more nuanced mistake doing an EV calculation.

I personally think if there was cheating involved, it was a binary signal ("you have the best hand") and she's too dumb to understand the implications of calling with J4 in the spot.
Yes, people who believe it's highly likely the 5 year yielding 4% will outperform DOCU (or "most tech companies") over the next 5 years should absolutely be selling call options. The current option prices imply it's likely that the opposite will occur. So, it's a great bet EV wise for said people.

For those worried about "unlimited loss", just buy a wildly out of the money call, well above the price they sell them at.

Easy money - assuming it is in fact "highly unlikely" that the stock will outperform the 5 year bond.
Whatever else this emergent "creative AI" phenomenon may or may not do, it's definitely touching nerves in people who still believe there's something ineffable and transcendent about the creative experience.

Considering more people are reading these headlines than experiencing a round of google freebies for their shutdown, this is only going to work to limit consumer buy-in on whatever google decides it needs to do next.

Google is panically trying to find another unicorn, as it knows its current cash cow, ads, is holding almost all its eggs and could be facing its demise as online regulation only continues to strengthen.

Not to mention google’s perverse promotional incentives that ignore supporting products long term, focusing on launching new things instead.

Google, as it is right now, is a dying company. They need basically a complete overhaul, starting with firing the entire C-level, especially the true CEO, Ruth Porat.
Without doubting what you say (and some considerable empathy), I actually think the motion sickness part is over emphasised.

I've given probably 30 people a try of my headset. I think two of them had problems with disorientation and nausea. The vast majority were just fine with all the stationary / teleport experiences (and there are plenty of of those). Smooth motion would be more of a problem for them but a lot can be done with 6DoF and teleporting.

It's an awkward fraction because if 10% of people can't tolerate VR at all it's definitely going to get in the way of VR becoming a ubiquitous tool where it plays an essential role in work or shared recreational experiences. But I don't think its nearly as large as people think .... many of those perceptions being formed from 5-10 years ago when headsets were vastly inferior to what they are now in terms of latency, tracking and other factors.
Coming soon to ProductHunt- Faraday underpants.
This sort of attitude is how people are wrongly convicted. A person's behaviour can reflect any number of things. Where is there any actual hard evidence of cheating? Or even a practical explanation of how it could be done.

Personally, I feel guilty when I'm (wrongly) accused of something merely if it's possible that I could have done it. It makes no sense but that's how my mind works. If it were up to you I'd be convicted every time.
I hesitate to reply, because it's not a very important point I was making. But to be clear, if she was cheating by knowing for a fact what card the dealer was about to play (and her opponent's hole cards), then none of those odds you mention, matter.

Edit: And again, not saying this is remotely a possibility here, or has been suggested by anyone. But all the cards were in fact known by the television program covering the table, and there have been cases of someone in the control booth feeding info back to a cheater at the table.
The CCC (Chaos Computer Club, which are one of the largest hacker collectives in Germany) area also sceptical about electronic voting machines and have been campaigning against them for roughly 20 years. Id definitely not call the CCC "frauds".

Since 2009, electronic voting machines are illegal in Germany. The argument of our constitutional court is that every single voter needs to be able to understand how our voting system works without being an expert.

Extraordinary claims ought to be supported by extraordinary evidence. Those are some serious accusations you make.
> I'm pretty sure you're chasing.

Right but chasing what - she can't beat J8, QJ, KQ, any high flush draw. Let alone value hands (she's drawing dead against a 10). So she has to put him specifically on 78 (which he had), 68 or 67. That makes it more suspicious, not less.

The intimidation thing makes sense if you believe her story. I can only guess what happened between the two of them after the game. I know that I've seen her change her own story about the hand that she thought she had. If you're questioning someone's credibility, you can't really go with their own story about what happened as a reason to exonerate them.
You can do it anyway assuming they used a moment js framework and took 2 seconds to configure the list order and search order
Interesting stuff. We used singularity containers at Stratum in the past. What's the similarities/differences and advantages between them?

Maybe. I guess I could say my Instagram feed is like what you're saying to some extent - mostly exercise tips, recipes, underwater photography, pics of friends having dinner, etc. But twitter on the other hand was terrible. I quit twitter in May as it was just becoming an outrage factory. Maybe I've been more careful with who I'm following on IG? Maybe IG isn't as amenable to political discussions and thus tends to stay saner? I'm not sure.

Check out ‘Mike postle’ in the poker world - he was accused of cheating based on hundreds of hours worth of evidence but no actual proof, the evidence was substantial enough to basically prove guilt beyond doubt.

The current poker drama doesn’t offer enough evidence to prove or disprove anything. I think largely the poker world is addicted to drama, unsure if the objective is to remain in the media or just because drama sells.
In just what kind of server/application mismanagement would you need to incur for a traversal attack to be succesful? Surely those are the least effective ones?
I personally like a lot plug-in hybrid vehicles. For example the Toyota RAV4 plug-in has an electric-only range of 42 miles. Very few people commute more than that one way. If you can charge at home, and then charge at work too, you will not need to use gas for your commute. You will end up reducing your gas usage by a factor of 10 easily. And if we reduce all our emissions by a factor of 10, we are net negative (because forests sequester more than 10% of the emissions).
If Garrett turned his hand face up, she makes about 20k by calling on the turn.

Sometimes, people create entire new fields of knowledge. The idea that somebody could teach Shakespeare about Shakespeare's work is ludicrous. The idea that somebody could teach what is open source to Stallman for a limited period of time does not have any sense. He coined the term.

Honorary doctorates are created for this cases, when the recipient is --the-- expert in the field. Is a shortcut to encourage this experts to became teachers and pass their knowledge. Win-win. Do we really think that somebody spending four years writing a these about emacs knows more than Stallman about a program that he developped since 70's?

Is abused to groom donors? Yes, Sometimes is abused, but is a perfectly legit way to became a doctor.
What I mean is that there is no universal definition of which properties are safety properties. In principle, you can define any property you can formally reason about as a safety property. Therefore, whenever you talk about safety, you first have to define which properties you mean by that.

In the context of Rust, there are a number of safety properties that Rust guarantees (modulo unsafe, FFI UB, etc.), but that set of safety properties is specific to Rust and not universal. For example, Java has a different set of safety properties, e.g. its memory model gives stronger guarantees than Rust’s.

Therefore, the meaning of “language X is safe” is entirely dependent on the specific language, and can only be understood by explicitly specifying its safety properties.

This is what I kind of don't like about all of the analyses. They pretty much admit that Garett's hand is weaker on the table. He has more outs, yes, but if the hand were to stop right there, he'd lose. If he doesn't hit his outs, he loses. Which is what happens. On both rivers.

His response to the call feels a bit like Michael Scott in the episode Casino Night. "I went all in, you should fold, I have good cards". Ok, that's why you play the hand. If all the responses are going to be dictated on rails, then why bother. Deal the cards and let the computers sort it out.

And it's not like it was guaranteed that he wouldn't hit either his straight or flush. I know the cards have RFID in them, I don't know if they're sensitive enough to tell the exact order of a stack of cards. Because that's what she would have had to know, his cards, and the next cards in the deck in order.

Thank you! I wasn't confident in understanding the die shots.

With 40 years of hindsight I think we can probably conclude that caches are a better use of excess on-die transistors than register windows are? Even though register windows theoretically reduce the cost of subroutine calls and thus of good factoring.

I feel like even a fairly small instruction cache, or explicitly-used instruction scratch memory, could have produced big payoffs in reducing instruction fetch cost, especially for RISC designs without hardware indirection? Like, if your compiler emitted explicit code at the beginning of every short leaf function to load it into instruction scratch memory, then run the scratch memory, instead of running it from RAM? At least if it contained a backward branch?
Dunno, I think if anything reliance on Google has increased. Back in the day I usually looked at the documentation. Back in the day there was documentation. Also books, like not written to be a bait-and-switch cash-grab but they were genuinely well put together by experts in the field.

The couple of times I had to go digging into the kernel what the thing looks like to me is a very large bare metal piece of firmware. As someone who writes firmware that very last thing you ever want is it to hang or reset without reporting any diagnostics. Because you have no idea where the offending code is. I'll belabor the point for people that think a large program is a few thousand lands. With the kernel it's millions of lings of code mostly written by other people.

Small rant. ARM cortex processors overwrites the stack pointer on reset. That's very very very dumb because after the watchdog trips you have no idea what the code was doing. Which means you can't report what the code was doing when that happened.

> a quiet walk in a garden does more for me than an hour of social media.

This is to me a weird way to put it, as we're probably doing both, and for different reasons.
We all have different goals and expectations regarding social media, but I don't think compassion and emotional depth are the first and formost reason most of us are here for instance.

On the "social media" label, HN is one, but it works pretty differently from the others. Same goes for MMORPGs, drawing sites, reddit gardening communities etc. Putting all of it in a single basket makes the discussion a lot harder I think.
Wait a couple of weeks and see how the Meta Quest Pro/Cambria version looks. It's a significantly updated design using pancake lenses (thin/light) and all the weight of battery is moved to the back for better balance. I think this will make it massively more comfortable for longer term use. Of course, it'll be $800+ but that's still a bargain in the VR space (for what it is, anyway).
And 99.999999999% of YouTube is not worth my time. Quality takes effort and talent, and putting a carrot at the end of the stick makes sense to me to incentivize expending effort and developing talent. Especially for media where the probability of success is very low.

Movies might be advertisements in conjunction with just being a movie, but the creators’ multiple intentions do not seem relevant in this case.

I am pretty sure obesity is a huge difference, unless you are including reducing it as a preventative measure. The diet may be the same but you are going to have way more heart problems at a BMI of 35 than 25. Anybody who has been to both Japan/SK and the South could tell you that there is a massive difference in BMI between the two areas.
I think the operative question is, why must the guns be fixed? Wouldn’t it be useful for guns to be on turrets that can aim in other directions?

We do it with helicopters (complete with automated aiming), and we used do it with bombers in WW2, after all.

I’m sure the answer has to do with aerodynamics, and the general rarity of close-range dogfighting in the first place, that make such a design impractical.

that's an abuse and an excuse.

1. It's an abuse of what async/await is. async/await is about concurrency and says NOTHING about the cause of that concurrency.

2. It's an excuse to rationalize what is clearly a bad idea.

RPC should obviously be RPC. What seems obvious to you in that function call isn't going to be obvious in 5-10 years once your sensibilities are gone and it's someone else dealing with the crap you wrote.

Deploying has become a nightmare.

It used to be transfer your source files via FTP, now it’s setting up Docker and Kubernetes and I don’t know what.

Ofc the latter is better for teams, but now you must learn a whole stack just to deploy code.
Yes, LDM / STM were great for memcpy-like things (eg graphics). For other loops the usual technique was to use predicated instructions to avoid pipeline flushes, and loop unrolling.

You would have to ask Sophie Wilson or Steve Furber why there is no loop cache; it’s an interesting question. I guess there simply wasn’t the transistor or complexity budget for it.
The machines were not a problem when he won the first time.
Yes, but why would you go to these lengths? The purpose of the whole mechanism is to prevent accidental misdiagnosis based on an incorrectly interpreted X-ray image. This isn't DRM, just a safeguard against incorrect use of equipment.

Look at marjorie taylor green's most recent insanity.

"accusation in a mirror."

and it goes far beyond a handful of loud extremists who are given megaphones from the 'less-extreme' in their party (are they really the minority then?)

the Fox news led contingent have been screaming this 'under attack' narrative.

and they are openly setting the conditions for IRL violence.

Othering trans & queer people. freaking attacking drag queens which is SO silly..

claiming we are pedo groomers who give out hormones to tweens like candy. saying your identity will no longer be people like you in the future, straight & cis.

child abusers seem to be the one class that it's still acceptable to openly wish violence upon.

telling their audience to 'take a stand' or else lose their entire existence & identity produces extremism and prods armed extremists to show up in real life.

they are bringing guns to shut down libraries, ban books, pile into vans to go attack pride, passing discriminatory laws.

not even touching on poc, immigrants, & attacks on democracy/jan 6; i'm focusing on my identity since I can better speak to it. which btw funny how there is always an eminent caravan invasion (a specifically chosen word) right before the election.

we have always been victims of violence.

but this is a much bigger boiling kettle and one group is stoking the fire.

i clearly see this fear in the eyes of a large & heavily armed group.

they think they are under attack. what will they do to 'protect themselves and save our country'? what happens when the kettle boils over?

they're pointing those guns at me.

Let me give you all a quick crash course in poker exploitation. Exploitation is taking advantage of inaccuracies in the other player's strategy to maximize the amount of money you win.

When you bet or raise in poker you need to do this action with some combinations of hands that are good (we refer to these as value hands) and some combinations of hands that are bad (we refer to these as bluffs).

If you ever have too many value hands the opponent can exploit your strategy by folding all hands that are worse than your value hands. If you ever have too many bluffs the opponent can exploit your strategy by calling with all hands that beat your bluffs.

The problem with this J hi call is that it does not beat the majority of Garrett's bluffs. In this situation Garrett has at most 2 combinations of hands that are worse than J hi, those hands also have 50% chance of winning due to half the deck improving them on the river vs J hi. In this situation Garrett could have three of a kind, a single pair, a full house, or maybe just Ace hi (which beats J hi).

So this call is terrible, even if "you have a read".

So the only explanation is that she's extremely stupid or cheating. Both explain the shifting story for why she called because nobody wants to admit they are dumb and they definitely don't want to admit to cheating.

edit: She could also just have poor emotional regulation under pressure which compelled her to call despite knowing it's bad.

This is the issue. If it’s not #1, or maybe #2, in the market then google is certainly going to drop it after a while.
I argue that real dichotomy is:

"write perfect code that gets used a lot, frameworks, libraries"

"write throw away glue code with use of libraries and frameworks"

Because for me "write garbage that succeeds" vs "perfect code that never gets used" is false dichotomy.

Where most devs want to write libraries and frameworks because these are places where "eternal fame" is - even better if you can write your own programming language that is the highest echelon of software engineering.

Ugly truth is most devs are driving beat up honda - where Linus Torvalds, Anders Hejlsberg, Bjarne Stroustrup are F1 drivers - you can rev up your honda on street lights all you want - but that is not the same league.

So most devs write business apps and many of them overshoot quality.

The RFID only works at a few millimeters distance. It's useless when trying to read a deck of cards since you'd get multiple responses and would be unable to determine the order of cards.

> 3. Computer security for many systems is critically important yet very difficult, and attackers are everywhere.

I would offer that a lot of the attack surface came from the intersection of the Internet and shipping faster than testers could keep up. The Internet means a mistake's blast radius is no longer just limited to insider threats or downloading shady software onto your own machine, now every computer in the world is a potential threat. The shipping "faster than thinking" means years worth of best practices about SQLi or CSRF or IDOR or or or get swept under the rug

In some ways, this is the same as 2 in your list, and I guess some of 1 also given that some frameworks and tools help that problem and some are "welp, good luck, don't screw up"
