We might in the future, but we're unsure what the copyright is on those questions.

Yep! We felt the same way when we saw that question. I think HQ will prioritize questions that are hard but still feel possible. Otherwise their engagement will start dropping off.

I think anyone playing HQ should be encouraged by our results. I know a lot of people turned off by playing because of all the "bots" playing. Based on our analysis and results from over a hundred games...I think it's clear t

There's a lot less teabagging when we win.

Yes, we have been archiving each game going back to October. We augment the questions and answers though so that we get more relevant results when run our web scrapes.

Yep. I actually mention that specific question in the article as an unsolvable question for machine learning, at least given our current constraints. Those are generally rare questions though because difficult questions for bots are also di

Author here: At mux, we experimented using machine learning to predict HQ Trivia answers. We managed to get 80-90% accuracy across a dataset of around 500 questions. The trickiest questions were relational questions (e.g. What's heavie

speaking from experience at Google, yes. Obviously depends on size of company, but many C-suite/SVP/High VPs would have a "chief of staff" type person reporting to them.

I wonder if debt is "not available" simply because it's not the standard for SV. I would bet that companies like Slack, Stripe, Stitchfix, etc could have raised considerable amounts of debt instead of raising money through th

I don't think debt would be worse for startups though. It's unlikely debt would wipe out a startup unless it continually finances through debt over a long period of time or just has really unfavorable debt terms (which wouldn&#x27

Gold has centuries of historical data as a sensible value store. The 'gold rush' didn't RAISE the value gold; gold rushes happened because the value of gold was already high. If anything, gold rushes devalued gold because of

I can see some use of things like Nest which keeps your electric usage efficient and low. Agree that other things are way over-hyped though. Look at how hard Amazon has been pushing Alexa for years now, and the shopping experience on it is

Seems very similar to using RL to tune the hyperparameters. Surely that means there are hyperparameters for PBT that need to be set, such as the exploration vs exploitation tradeoff.

They are using AI for natural language processing though. Heuristics would be if they just scanned a post for keywords or waiting for a suicide reporting. The article suggests they are using reporting as labeled training data, and eventuall

How does Elemental compare to the existing options on the market? (e.g. something like this https://mux.com/video )
