The reason why the AI is limited in number of actions is because the strategy is interesting, not so much the mechanical skill (think aimbots in FPS games). We know the AI will be better at clicking and moving units and would be capable of

It is so weird reading all these comments. Almost half of them start out as "it's impressive.. but". Is it human nature or are HN commenters just so sceptical/negative of all the new tech? One of the OpenAI guys mention

From the perspective of a non-developer I thought this was pretty good. I could have done with a bit more information and references, and less arguments with "past-me" though. HN has an almost hostile reaction to anyone who says

There are very few books that are up to date on the current meta game of poker. You are much better off watching training videos done by professionals. I recommend UpswingPoker [1], created by debateably the best heads up no limit player i

My, admittedly limited, understanding of womens fashion tells me that women do not like to buy the same things as other women. At least there is a certain 'she has the same dress as me' effect. Are you doing anything to combat th

Apple is in a good position in the market to do this, but it is just really hard to trust any US company. They say they will never give anyone access to their servers but how can they make that promise when they don't make the laws? A

The law states that up to 6 years is only in "exceptionally aggravating circumstances" which would be difficult to argue here I believe (not a lawyer). About 15 years ago some kids got punished for explaining how to download mp3 f

Can someone explain how they get the money out? I understand that they hack a company, send themselves money to a bank in China... and then? Can't the chinese just trace the money and go tell the bank to give it back? Do they use mone

The EFF seems to recommend using DiskCryptor for Windows [1]. What are HN's opinions on this? Also what does HN think about still using TrueCrypt? Any reason not to? [1] https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/how-encryp

1. Tensions rise and the west and the east continue to grow further apart. 2. More hacking scandals come to light and they are used as cover to restrict privacy and empower the intelligence community. 3. The world will continue to do close

The US prison system is completely insane whether you are a hacker or not. It is baffling to me why you would want to send non-violent criminals to prison with hardened criminals in the first place, the rehabilitation is likely to be higher
