Disregarding rake or table costs, the Game Theory Optimal strategy for a poker variant will always (on average over time) take money from all players who aren't also playing a GTO strategy.

It would only break even (again, disregarding rake or similar table costs) against another GTO strategy, and there's no way casual players, which is where the money enters this system, would play a GTO strategy. You're lucky if they remember all the rules of the game without prompting from the dealer.

For real poker variants, humans can't play an actual GTO strategy because it's too complicated. http://poker.srv.ualberta.ca/ provides an essentially perfect derived GTO strategy for Heads Up, Limit Texas Hold'em. It's... a lot, trying to "simplify" it will make it leak money (where Cepheus takes option A 62% of the time, B 38% of the time, simplifying to fifty-fifty will lose a little money) and trying to "improve" it (e.g. let's take on more of these potentially weak opposing hands) is likely to open gaping holes in your play that can be exploited by others.
I wasn't involved in the legal side and am not a lawyer, but in my limited understanding of US contract law (where this is exclusively used) it is quite simple to create a binding contract that will stand up in court. Building it, if anything, showed how simple the process can actually be.

Is it possible that systems/packges hosted outside of google's ecosystem dont count in the scope of "Google vulnerability reward program". The author did go through a lot of non-technical steps to demo the behavior he showed and It did seem like it involved social-engineering of sorts.

so its understandable that they closed it as non-vulnerability.

I don't remember the specifics from that long ago, but basically they're too complicated. I didn't even get the settings right the first time, and it was too confusing for my parents to log in and fix things if needed. There was also some weirdness with needing a Ubiquiti account that I'm told you could avoid, but why is it even a thing.

"Same way" can mean "using the same principles", in addition to "identical in all ways"

For instance, shirts and parkas work the same way (trapping warm air near the skin), but have radically different capabilities.

WebGPU in browser isn't really interesting to me. But I do like WebGPU in native applications, as we are yet again in scenario where Windows prefers DX, OSX their own Metal and Vulkan is yet again mostly linux only player, and popular WebGPU implementations have backends to all of these (+ more).
While this article is more about style of play than game length, it’s worth pointing out something that probably a lot of commenters in this thread don’t realize: as a result of the pitch clock (new this year), baseball games are now considerably shorter, like 2.5 hours instead of 3.

There was so much culture war discourse on this…
Agreed. I felt like it downplayed the idea that this is important to all of us at a baseline. I may be contextualizing that with the rest of the body of the article which also had odd interpretations. It's also not the first time I've seen something advertised as for x, y, and z group and fails to mention why it matters for the rest of us.
It's weird and extremely dishonest how they try to blame the platform instead of them hiring a knob (or I guess under-training them in the first place). I fear it will cause for more push for government spying on their people
Can't sign up without a credit card, credit cards are issued to folks 18 and over. This is how they've done it up until this point (with little success). Making a "know your user" law like banking, no one will want to deal with the hassle and so only corporations (with big pockets to spend on this kind of Deloitte BS) will be able to compete on the internet.

It's a travesty.
There is a distinction in the ChatGPT chat completion API between "system" text and "user" text, but GPT 3 had a problem where it would basically ignore any system text, so you had to put instructions in the user text anyway. Not sure if it's changed for GPT 4.
It's a computer I paid over £3,000 for, that got cut off 7 years after release for no valid reason as a customer.

Yes I understand what you are saying, but there is no need for it, Operating systems didn't require suddenly more powerful computers, years ago it made sense because the machine just couldn't handle it, but today my machine handles everything just fine and is higher spec than machines Apple has determined can run it.

You make it sound like it's some crazy high cost for Apple to do this, yet this small open source project seems to be able to do it and for them it would be much more difficult.

In terms of Apple's support, it's been awful, they provided one set of bootcamp drivers for the graphics card a year after release and even that was out of date when it was released, therefore I have to get the gfx card drivers from a third party.
Maybe a too short summary; my tldr would be: self-help research led to the hypothesis that acid-base balance disruption may underpin Long Covid. The hypothesis was published as a paper, the author’s successful self-treatment is described here: https://mastodon.nl/@vickyvdtogt/110202237846457614 high lactate levels were an indicator that helped finding a hypothesis which could explain the diverse symptoms of Long Covid.
If you’ve changed HP to a percentage, why wouldn’t you also change the damage and other related numbers (such as damage reduction and so on) to percentages as well? Nobody would be dumb enough to store them in different units and then convert every time they manipulate them.

I'm not sure if these are examples of dropped support, but I run into issues on websites that prevent me from doing something I really need to do:
- I could not unsubscribe from amazon prime yesterday using firefox. The page where you select the option was not rendering correctly. It was white for half the page vertically and the link/button I need to press was absent.
- about 6 months ago I could not sign into apple id on apples site on firefox. (or something like this, I forget exactly what I was trying to do).
- about 6 months ago I could not sign into nintendo's site to cancel a subscription.

So it's not super frequent, but every few months there are important things I can't do in firefox.

FTX wasn't a "poorly run company", it was a ponzi created with the intent on defrauding customers and investors.

You read that article and it'd make you think the federal prosecutors making the original indictments and additional indictments (including bribery of officials) are smoking pot and seeing things.

Oh, wait. It's the NYT. They presented SBF, before it got exposed for the fraud he was, as an altruistic genius and they're still playing the "not guilty" angle.

People at the NYT have been intellectually dishonest on that matter since day one (including, after the fraud got exposed, setting up a conference where every in the room applauded SBF).
How do I detect you using an aim hack without seeing your machine?
Yeah and to add to this: People, in general, want to connect with other people. Programming is a means to that end. Only for a small part of the population is programming in itself an end.

Computers from the era were pretty much completely contained units. Smartphones require some other service to do anything useful, and those companies don't want to support devices that have been tinkered with.

You oversaw the untrusted part, this is the only reason I prefer web over native really. If there was a way to run native apps with that level of isolation, I would prefer native.
I like the idea of Ubuntu Touch (having worked with Ubuntu a lot), but even more so Firefox OS. As a web developer, the idea that "native" could simply mean "the Web platform" is really attractive.
That would be the same as OP's example. I think it'd be fair to say you utilise mathematics in your role.

Dunno what situation would involve you wanting to say that though, maybe the job history bit of a very light resume? Haha

That’s not what it’s saying. It’s saying, if you blew up the electron to the size of the earth, and sprinkled a sugar grain on it, then the electron is rounder than that.
Well, at least they were on UPS and got power conditioning that way. But there's also just crappy programming. It's not only ISP-provided stuff, it's cheap home routers in general. I don't trust them.
Pointing at kids is incredibly effective tool, no wonder it's utilized so often.

There is already growing momentum outside of flyover states and outside of social media, gaming platforms now are encouraged quite heavily to implement severe age verification systems, out of fear of being sued or having to deal with COPPA issues. Further, people will likely embrace any bills that encourage a standardized "encrypted" government ID system as being preferable to various platforms insecurely trying to get parents to submit identification documents. Meta has already announced testing of an age verification system in front of congress.

So your hope in that regard might already be smothered. I believe at this point there needs to be greater public awareness of what's happening, otherwise every time this is going to come up people are going to embrace it naively.
Perhaps someone will give it vague instructions to create a character capable of outsmarting the smartest robot around, and it creates a sapient version of a fictional evil genius that escapes it's simulation and takes over the spacecraft running the simulation.

Maybe it gives the first person from the next intelligent race it finds, a first-hand experience of how it's world's sun killed all life on the planet it came from. Then gives them a flute.

The smartasset paycheck calculator seems grossly inaccurate. I started with the default example, single taxpayer with $66,833 annual salary. For such a taxpayer, with no dependents, no other income, and standard deduction, in 2023 the effective federal tax rate would be 10.4%, while this calculator shows federal income tax withholding at 15.44%, quite a huge difference. This example taxpayer is greatly over-withheld and would receive a nice refund at tax filing time, but the report fails to take that into account.
I'm (vaguely) surprised there hasn't been a hardware type for rationals. Then the GCD operation could be done in hardware and everything would be fast (at least as fast as floats). Not surprising, because adding new hardware data types is hard, but the financial institutions would benefit from something like that.

A rat64 could be:

- 1 sign bit

- 3 format bits. Determines where the decimal is located, e.g. 30.30 vs 52.8.

- 60 bits of numerator and denominator. The split is determined by the format bit. 50.10 would be handy for any percent/ppt operations (e.g. Most USD operations)

Might need an error bit, but that's my 5 minute gist.

Hence my confusion with the title and the article at large. We know we need new particles if for nothing else than to explain dark matter (unless we will come with a non-MOND non-matter theory that fits current observations and hopefully is compatible with other well tested theories too).

We also have “known” for a while that the standard model is incomplete but so far actual physics beyond it has been eluding us.

That was to me missing in this article.
There is an "electron field" everywhere. Electron is a persistent, energetic disturbance of this field that can travel and interact through electroweak force. It's most convenient mathematical description is as if it was a "cloud" of probability of all of it's charge and mass being concentrated at a single point in space.

If we forcefully interact with electron we can reshape this "cloud" to be as small as we need to at the cost of imparting on it random monentum through uncertainty principle.

I think what they measure is that when you interact with electron then its electric field seems to be very spherical to the point that we can rule out a lot of ideas about electron having any internal substructure that might cause the field to be a little bumpy.
I think one of the main drivers of new browser features is ChromeOS. Manufacturers are selling a lot of Chromebooks, especially to schools, and because ChromeOS is primarily a conduit for running Chrome, the best way to add features to Chromebooks is by adding to the browser. From Google's point of view, anything ChromeOS needs is a candidate for a new browser feature.
I am working on an AI-related project that isn't "making AI" but rather leveraging the APIs. I did a little soul-searching about whether to use a .ai domain (which of course is actually an Anguilla domain) or a .com, and my inner nerd beat my inner marketer but maybe only temporarily.

When I launch, I will absolutely describe it as an "AI thing" -- because it's using "AI" tech to do stuff you couldn't do otherwise.

Is your product a dev tool that happens to do something with OpenAI sometimes? Or is it a specialized interface to OpenAI? In the latter case, I would say it's misleading to not describe it as an "AI" product, because people (should) want to know whether they're going to be interacting with our new Insect Overlords.

Your case may be different, but that's my thinking as someone doing AI-adjacent work who is by no means an AI researcher.

Having worked professionally with low-code tools, low-code is just coding but with less expressivity and worse ergonomics.

In layperson terms, you're still implementing the same logic - just that now you have less flexibility and precision to implement exactly what you want (expressivity), and the UI/UX is "clunkier" than if you just wrote some code in an IDE or text editor.

There are also a few other problems that are prevalent in the low-code ecosystem but not fundamental to it:

- not having good version control

- not being able to port what you built (vendor lock-in)

- not having a good way to collaborate

These are very powerful things that we take for granted when writing code in a version-controlled repo.
This malware gets onto systems 100% through social engineering. It lures users to download the software, run it, ignore the OS warning that the code isn’t signed, and then enter their password.

So, what should Apple do in response to such malware? Make it impossible for user code to read the entire keychain, even when running as admin? Containerize macOS more, making it impossible for user programs to access files written by other programs, in the way things work on iOS? Ignore it because, at some point, security becomes the user’s responsibility?

If tools like these get popular, I can see them getting blamed whatever they do or don’t do.
For that matter why don't PC's do something similar?

I started with the BASIC prompt in 1981. And I still feel some nostalgia for those times. I don't write "software" per se, but use programming as a problem solving tool. On the PC, when I'm creating stuff rather than consuming, I typically live inside a Jupyter notebook.

I need a keyboard and a screen. We haven't come up with a better coding interface.

"Duck typing unions"
Disclaimer: I have a theoretical degree in armchair physics, not a real one.

So that's where the fun of Quantum Mechanics and uncertainty comes in. Electrons are not just point-like particles, they're sort of both particles and waves. If you nail down exactly where the electron "particle" is, then you end up with it's momentum being less defined, meaning that you're not going to be able to say anything at all about where it came from, where it's going, or how fast. Similarly if you can nail down it's momentum perfectly it won't have a definition of where it is anymore. This isn't the Observer effect, where you making the measurements changes the system, but in fact that the other related property actually ceases to have a valid definition anymore (I'm not well versed enough to say it stops existing with any confidence but that's my understanding). This leads to a situation where you end up measuring a probability density of the property of the electron, so you get a density of it being "around this point +/- some amount" and with a "momentum +/- this amount, and sort of in this direction". This means that you now have a probability density of the electron where you'll see it's effects of the negative charge and kinetic energy and those are the things that describe that "cloud of negative charge". The main effect of this that affects things is that you end up with this cloud of all the electrons around an atom and you don't ever observe the individual electrons, just the shells/clouds around the atom and how they change as energy is inserted into the system.

My layman's understanding is that essentially as you make a measurement/system/whatever where it's designed to see the position more than the momentum you'll see more point-like particle behavior, but never only just that (you can't ever nail it down to an infinite precision, if you did it'd have a momentum that could send it off at the speed of light as if it had no mass) and in the other case if you could measure infinite precision on the momentum you'd end up measuring the electron as if it was "everywhere" in the universe all at once, which is just as nonsensical of a result as the first one.
Sure, but it's precisely that difference which they claim to be measuring. Why does it matter that they don't also know some other value (the radius) to high accuracy? It's kind of like how a balance can measure the difference in force to high accuracy (and precision), but that doesn't mean we know anywhere near that much about the masses on the balance, and...it doesn't have to; you can just state that you know some delta accurately and not have to explain why that means some auxiliary measurement is probably precise.
yes, but isn't that in itself novel, what is it that you want the system to do?
Speak for yourself, I don’t like candles for the same reason that I don’t like incandescent lights. Not to mention the smoke, the wax guttering and dripping everywhere, the fire hazards, etc, etc.
It seems to me that the security mechanisms you described already exist. But Microsoft can't prevent the installation of legitimate anti-cheat software while still letting users install whatever they want to. It is a double-edged sword, one comes with the other. Users who seek this kind of protection (i.e., OS editor telling app makers what they can or cannot do) should drop Microsoft and switch to Apple.

Also, we should not confuse anti-cheat software with malicious software: if you purchase commercial software from an editor who wants to bundle anti-cheat technology in its product, this is not a malicious installation. The security mechanisms you described are aimed at preventing the malicious deployment of code in your system, not the installation of intrusive software on behalf of the consenting user.
