You can still "win" by taking money from the other human players and minimizing EV loss against bots. The major poker sites claim that they have really good (and very top secret) b…

The "standard" strategy is to play GTO (game theory optimal). There are solvers out there (like GTO Wizard) that show you the "optimal" play for every situation, which is used as a…

Four times a day, I get an email notification that someone requested a password reset for my Microsoft account, which gives me a six-digit number to recover my account. So every da…

Last time we were in Japan, we were walking around in Hakone and thinking the same thing. Then we stumbled upon a (literal) video game treasure chest. Inside there was a journal, s…

Derek Lowe is a great writer. Worth reading his "Things I Won't Work With" articles if you want to read more of his writing. https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/things-i-won-…

There are solo founders every batch, so realistic enough.

Very cool, thank you for sharing. Has anyone done similar experimentation and/or benchmarking on using webgpu for neural nets in JS?

Making less money isn't really the risky part about founding a startup. The risky part is missing out on years of other life experiences, stressing (or losing) your closest persona…

Yeah, I was just curious to see if that's a purely modern phenomenon or if there's a longer historical trend.

It's unfortunate that subjective well-being was left out of this, because that's the one that looks like it might be getting worse. Arguably, it's also the most important.

FF7 Remake and Rebirth are both incredible, but Rebirth's sales are significantly lower. I'm hoping this doesn't make them reduce investment for the third installment.

Our lawyers told us otherwise. Regardless of the answer here, the fact that there's still a debate about what basic functionality requires a cookie banner is really a testament to …

I think this applies not only to startup founders but also to early-stage engineering teams. We distilled this into our company's engineering values: Real work is work that improve…

Really interesting, thanks for writing this up. I'd love to see this applied to actually playing the game, provided that you could fit a (long) game state in the context window.

> As it was pointed out, no, EU regulations don't mandate cookie banners. It seem you have an axe to grind with the EU. EU regulations do require cookie banners.

1999, created a Magic: the Gathering fansite on Geocities. Pretty sure I made a solid $13 or so with display ads, and would one day go on to make many dozens of dollars with my nex…

Absolutely brilliant game.

GPT-4 is a major leap ahead of everything else I've used (including GPT-3.5), so definitely worth trying for comparison.

I use Todoist (todo list software). The killer features for me are that it has natural language parsing for recurring things like "take out the garbage every tuesday", "replace the…

10b5-1 rules actually did change recently, IIRC it's now about six months from change to sell.

Check out the Madoff documentary on Netflix, there are interviews with people who had exactly that happen as they clawed back funds to try to make everyone whole.
