I think the latter point is the one that could give an AI the edge to bracelet-win at poker. The play itself is too human for an AI to develop the right strategy, but the AI can find sources of truth in the physical actions of human opponen

I feel that Poker is one of those games that an AI could develop a winning strategy for, but not the most winningest. If you deployed this AI on pokerstars, it would win you money. If you deployed it at the WSOP, it would not win a bracelet

It's a general recognition that it takes money, not skill to survive. This is complete bullshit. Rebuys in the first round only help to insulate you from the chaos of the first round, where there tend to be a lot of wild pla

I think this exposes a bit of a flaw in Google's rollout of their 'Assistant'; they only released it to Pixel devices early on which has alienated Nexus owners (or at the very least this Nexus owner). I have both a Google Hom

Sooo... we're putting a javascript frontend webapp wrapped in electron in to a wrapper to emulate a filesystem in the browser so we can use that frontend webapp in the browser. Welp.

As I understand it, ML is about the finding of those rules. The big example I can think of is stocks -- what signals are important in determining the fiscal health of a company or stock? Every trader or investor has their own ruleset they

Recent ones you can, but those came about during the ascent of packaged air. Old ones were just plastic. New ones you can even eat. They're made of corn.

They still exist, but they have been dying. There are a few niche forums that still hold on to users, but the proliferation of subreddits leaks people away. I visit no forums today, whereas when I grew up it was a majority of my online-life

We are pack animals, it is why dogs evolved in to our family. Isolation is a severance from our natural social state and is hurtful. I think one of the great benefits of the internet is that it is possible to meet and befriend people outsid

VS Code is, along with Typescript and Vue, one of my favorite things to have entered my world in the past 6 months. They have been rapidly improving VSC and I am exceptionally happy with it.

And to top it off, they autogenerate a lot of 'news' so they pop up on every single stock 'news event' on Google Finance. It's just all so spammy.

Seeking Alpha is so pushy about registration. 2nd page or below the fold, it stops you. Use mobile and it stops you (and forces you to use their app). Their app continually pushes for registration and is very neutered without it. If they ar
