You can still "win" by taking money from the other human players and minimizing EV loss against bots. The major poker sites claim that they have really good (and very top secret) bot detection. I'm skeptical.

The "standard" strategy is to play GTO (game theory optimal). There are solvers out there (like GTO Wizard) that show you the "optimal" play for every situation, which is used as a baseline, and then players deviate to e

Four times a day, I get an email notification that someone requested a password reset for my Microsoft account, which gives me a six-digit number to recover my account. So every day, an attacker has four shots in 1,000,000 of stealing my ac

Last time we were in Japan, we were walking around in Hakone and thinking the same thing. Then we stumbled upon a (literal) video game treasure chest. Inside there was a journal, stamps, and stickers to contribute your stories to. https:&#

Very cool, thank you for sharing. Has anyone done similar experimentation and/or benchmarking on using webgpu for neural nets in JS?

Making less money isn't really the risky part about founding a startup. The risky part is missing out on years of other life experiences, stressing (or losing) your closest personal relationships, failing and feeling personally respons

Yeah, I was just curious to see if that's a purely modern phenomenon or if there's a longer historical trend.

It's unfortunate that subjective well-being was left out of this, because that's the one that looks like it might be getting worse. Arguably, it's also the most important.

You can definitely tell while you're playing it. It's probably the best-looking game I've ever seen and it has a pretty unbelievable amount of content.

FF7 Remake and Rebirth are both incredible, but Rebirth's sales are significantly lower. I'm hoping this doesn't make them reduce investment for the third installment.

Our lawyers told us otherwise. Regardless of the answer here, the fact that there's still a debate about what basic functionality requires a cookie banner is really a testament to how bad this legislation is. How long has this been aro

I think this applies not only to startup founders but also to early-stage engineering teams. We distilled this into our company's engineering values: Real work is work that improves our product or makes our users happy. This includes

Really interesting, thanks for writing this up. I'd love to see this applied to actually playing the game, provided that you could fit a (long) game state in the context window.

1999, created a Magic: the Gathering fansite on Geocities. Pretty sure I made a solid $13 or so with display ads, and would one day go on to make many dozens of dollars with my next Age of Empires II strategy fan site. Good times.

GPT-4 is a major leap ahead of everything else I've used (including GPT-3.5), so definitely worth trying for comparison.

I use Todoist (todo list software). The killer features for me are that it has natural language parsing for recurring things like "take out the garbage every tuesday", "replace the A/C filters every six months", etc

The OST is a masterpiece, and has only gotten better with time. The Orchestra world tour ( https://ffvii-remakeconcerts.com/ ) is incredible. Definitely recommend seeing it live if you get a chance.

Final Fantasy VII is still awe-inspiring for me. The original is arguably the greatest game of all time, and the remake is probably the best video game remake of all time, too. If anyone wants to relive FFVII on YouTube, I'd highly rec
