I am not even sure it is a legal problem. How can the prohibit the creation of similar devices and limit their use? In any case the approach is new, but we have had targeted audio for some time. Another method used in the past was done by t

I have thought about this for about a day, and I can't agree with you. Every time I have seen complex GO code and investigated how it got that way it was simply the result of one of the following. 1) Writing GO code before fully unders

This thread is talking about playing random -- by aid of a computer providing random numbers. The result is just that -- 1/3 of the time each option is played. The issue here is this AI is able to best random, and that is not something

It becomes a game of chance once one of the players is replaced with a computer picking at random. Which is the point of this thread. Random vs AI.

I see the confusion now. The entire point of this thread is that some of use pitted random vs this AI. And tht AI is winning more often than it should. Zero humans were involved. Which brings us back to you can't game random.

This is not chess. But a game of chance. You can't form a strategy based off random without predicting said random. I thik it was already pointed out but I have not had a chance to verify. This game uses your played move in tht trainin

You can also do: for(i=0; i<100; i++) { play(Math.floor(Math.random()*3)) } Right in the JavaScript console.

I normally write a c program or go linked to xlib to do this sort of work, but I just used xdotool in a bash script for this. https://gist.github.com/mbrumlow/49f0a3fa311cc3002e4e1fae2e2...

But if it predicts you are playing random, is it not then random vs random? I am under the impression that you can't game random -- unless you are aware of the random generator being used is broken..

Yeah, I am not sure what is going on, I just played it 1000 times from rand and the results were. 500 plays - Player: 144, Computer: 179, Tie: 177 https://youtu.be/g9Zo771HYpM 1000 plays - Player: 325, computer: 359, tie: 3

I let rand play it 500 times the results are as followed. Player: 144, Computer: 179, Tie: 177, Although I think I got more equal results when I did 1000 iterations, but failed to record that one. https://youtu.be/g9Zo771HYp

I am not sure you can be compelled to remember something you forgot. And nobody can tell you if you remember or not, or if you will ever remember again. So no, some judge may try to hold you in contempt of court, and it may work for a while

The point of the payout is not really for the people who did not get a job -- its just a good place to put the money. These lawsuits are actually to punish the companies so they change their ways. 11m as pointed out is a rounding error for

Engineers at google can make way over 200k in salary and even more in total compensation. Given these guys were over 40, and many of them likely seasoned it is likely they would have made way more than the numbers you are suggesting.

Why are these numbers so small? Even more so to the fine for data protection violations. The point of these sort of things are to make companies think twice. While 11m is a lot of cash it is nothing compared to Google's total income, a

In my minds eye we would give one dedicated port to the main service. The apps would pick a random unused port, and report back to the main service to which would then become a reverse proxy from the main services port to the bound port. So
