Firefox's builtin pdf.js reader has really matured and I switched to using it as my primary reader. It's even good enough for me to read books since it remembers the location I'm on, even if the browser process dies horribly.

From what I understood, the ai would only need to win once. Therefore, after the computer reaches near-human intelligence, it'll be statistically sure to win in a few years. (And given Moore's law, in these few years the ai will c

For some reason, (perhaps the use of Title Case) I thought this would be about the GTA mod ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_mod ). Well, never mind, this was interesting as well.
