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) bot detection. I'm skeptical.

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 baseline, and then players deviate to exploit specific player tendencies.

GTO trees are far too complex to fully memorize, so nobody can play perfect GTO. But you can do a lot of solver work to get reasonably close.

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 day, an attacker has four shots in 1,000,000 of stealing my account by just guessing the number. They've been doing this for years.

If the attacker's doing this to thousands of accounts - which I'm sure they are - they're going to be stealing accounts for free just by guessing.

I wrote up a security report and submitted it and they said that I hadn't sufficiently mathematically demonstrated that this is a security vulnerability. So your only option is to get spammed and hope your account doesn't get stolen, I guess.

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, stamps, and stickers to contribute your stories to.

Wish I took better pics, but here it was in the middle of nowhere. Japan is awesome.

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.

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 personal relationships, failing and feeling personally responsible for disappointing everyone you convinced to believe in you, and developing an anxiety disorder (or worse) from chronic long-term stress.

Author's suggestion that they could have taken a "similar level of risk" as an early employee by taking secondaries as a founder is way off, IME.

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.

You can definitely tell while you're playing it. It's probably the best-looking game I've ever seen and it has a pretty unbelievable amount of content.

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.
