How many links must we endure on this topic? People who care will research it and understand what the result is and isn't.
- onli 14y agoThis is the first article i've seen that tries to explain the topic. It also is rather deep in not only explaining the paper in question (in a good way, i think), but also comparing it with work of Stewart and Plotkin.
- jasonwatkinspdx 14y agoThis article was linked repeatedly in the comments of the prior posts. But hey, whatever, down vote me to oblivion, about what I've come to expect around here. Sorry for sounding like a dick but I really am sad about how meaningfulness has decayed around here. People expect opinions to be spoon fed to them easily, that's not how it used to be.
- onli 14y agoI didnt vote you down. That the article was linked in comments is just another indicator it should be submitted.
- saurik 14y agoIt's even worse, given that this is actually old news: the zero determinant prisoner's dilemma work was already posted to Hacker News and discussed back in May. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4026711 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4026711 That said, this actually is probably the first actually useful new article posted on this subject (as in, by someone who actually understands the math). (I therefore upvoted you, as I think you are expressing a valid conceptual problem with the repetitiveness of the front page recently; between App.net, Twitter, and this, it seems like the same few stories keep getting recycled; I also, however, upvoted the actual article.) (Wow, and apparently I now have a "full disclosure": the guy who wrote this article is the brother of a long-friend of mine; I did not know this before writing the "that said" paragraph.)
