    Copilot could absolutely solve the task given the instructions as a comment that's stated above. Unfortunately the gap between AI's capabilities and a task humans can solve quickly…

    Hasn't Facebook's Pluribus come pretty close to "solving" no-limit holdem? I don't know a lot about poker so I can't really assess their claim's validity.

    I believe this is a feature on the mobile app.

    This is just nonsensical. Are you familiar with the famous bet made by Buffett that a basket of hedge funds would be outperformed by the market over 10 years? He was right, they we…

    Trading is gambling for almost everyone. The remaining actors benefit from additional information that is either entirely cost inhibitive or illegal.

    You’re only talking about one side of the equation. Buying options can never end in a loss that exceeds the original investment.

    Pretty much none of crypto trading can ever be skill-based depending on the time frame. Even in the medium term it’s a random walk.

    What percentage of total cumulative cryptocurrency volume is exchanged using PoW rather than PoS? The PoW market share is and historically has been pretty massive so I don't think …

    Completely agree – search is absurdly poor considering the resources available to any solo developer these days. The mobile app is generally usable, if all you want to do is doomsc…

    What you're saying really makes very little sense to me. The strategies change constantly and are arb'ed away. Every year they essentially do start from scratch, aiming to beat the…

    There are thousands of different graphs that correlate with that one. I don’t think I need to give the whole “correlation ≠ causation” line again.

    I think I understand your point and agree with the hype aspect, but statistically how can they be statistical outliers? On a broad annual basis they’ve beat everyone 10+ times in a…

    Just because you can make steering, braking, and acceleration changes to the car does not mean you are “in control”. The software makes such aggressive decisions that it can become…

    I believe there was indeed a two-pronged approach in that NK also proclaimed the material to be an obvious example of the detrimental effects of capitalism in SK.

    Nothing new, they are the Bitcoin plunge protection team. Bitcoin takes a dive, they print USDT to purchase BTC and prop up the price.

    What makes it "literally impossible" for those coins to move? I think it is incredibly unlikely but don't see why it is impossible.

    The dot-com bubble lasted around 10 years, increasing almost exponentially in the last 2-3. Subsequently dropped 80% and took 15 years to return to those prices.
