"The game called for picking six numbers from 1 and 54. For a pro gambler, some sets of numbers—such as 1,2,3,4,5,6—aren’t worth picking because so many other players choose them, which would split the pot. Marantelli’s operation bought 99.3% of the possibilities."

Wouldn't this be 54x53x52x51x50x49 = 18,595,558,800 therefore 99.3% is 18,465,389,888.4 or basically over 18 billion dollars in tickets (at $1 per ticket)?

There is a massive difference between "capable of generating music, sounds, and speech using text and audio inputs it’s never been trained on" and "sounds never heard before." This is simultaneously nonsense and obvious truth. Create a new color you've never seen before.

I really, really wish I could copy comments on mobile. I'm in my doctors office waiting and I want to throw this into rot13 so i can read it

why are you fealung with cache at all in a wrb context? that's what CDNs are for.

This describes T-Mobile incredibly well...

I would highly recommend Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. It comes on normal book format so you can read it.

Adversarial game playing as a way of training AI is basically the plot of War Games.

I don't want to be this guy, but can we get this whole thing removed? the lack of integrity here seems anathema to HN

if we're going with hot takes, I've watched a lot of DefCon vids and many presenters come off as outlandish arrogant. not simply smug, more "I am levitating above the normies."

Nobody should be surprised by this. Speed and Quality are orthogonal after all. Why do it right when you can do it twice?

expense as a percentage of gdp is a nonsense number. expense as a percentage of the actual budget makes far more sense. why are we accepting silly statistics here?

There are so many issues with your post that I feel like I'm on reddit?

It's not a radical idea, or really even unpopular, to incentivize child birth through tax policy.

Insane initial implication that having children is a duty we all innately have to society aside: you can't tax an age bracket differently let alone at point of sale.

I'm going to have to look into this because while that sounds like an incredible future, I don't see it. we have thousands of custom classes and dozens of material themes, can Figma work with that and then generate a component using our core custom styles?...

Does this mean there will be a run?

I also love spotify as a general product. But the UX grievances are fair and representative of tge standard product thrash where far too many people are involved in making design decisions that ultimately end up punishing users

this is a good summary of why I pay zero attention to power point decks and blog posts. there is never a right answer and it's just people masturbating in circles. it's not rocket science, half of the time it's not even computer science. design patterns, at a certain point, become full of themselves.

Everything about this screams "Somebody please call Child Protective Services and get this guy committed"

If you start gaining followers....you're starting a cult

Good, now buy my Twitter shares at 54.20 so I can move on with my life.

Immediately made me think of this https://youtu.be/XM0uZ9mfOUI

The question is never "have you been arrested." It is, always, "have you ever been convicted"

You must live in an all-white people world. ESL creates a lot of quiet people. Not everyone that is quiet is an egotistical toxic maniac.

Agile is a cancer that needs to be purged from the industry.

At its core, it is an obvious general philosophy based on the even more obvious concept of a small team working together closely.

Everything that gets layered on top of that exists so that people who can't program can also get big tech $$$.

I'm so skeptical of these "experts" especially if they write a blog post where they hate their bank.

I've been with Wells for over a decade. They have never called me. Never.

I have had "fraud" alerts hundreds of times. They always happen at certain POS, and it's always a text alert.

Some of the stories I read make me viscerally react with "what in the world are you doing with something as simple as a bank account?"

Also a fundamental default is "no action". If you are even slightly suspicious, do nothing. It isn't somehow so important that you stop thinking and just act or react. Just stop.

No. This is more like saying Heartbleed is proof the web will never be secure. Which it won't.

all of them

And that man's name? - 400 FICo

there is nothing interesting or new about "blockchain". it's a specific implementation of 3 things that are older than you are

I'm in favor of this.

this is my world

Oh good, more acronyms. This will surely help. Thanks.
