rovr138··on With most information hidden, the game Stratego had stumped AI until now
It’d be less budget and resources than DeepMind.

So clearly it’s due to talent as well as advances, of course.

> Now, a team of researchers from Carnegie Mellon, MIT, New York University, and Stanford University has done it. Their AI, called Ataraxos, beat Pim Niemeijer, arguably the best Stratego player of all time, 15 games to one, with four draws. And it took just 16 GPUs and a few thousand dollars to train it.

Just 16 GPUs, and a few thousand dollars?

What about “researchers from Carnegie Mellon, MIT, New York University, and Stanford University” this wasn’t just anyone.

rovr138··on Git 3.0's upcoming SHA-256 default will be a costly mistake
So you're there's exactly 0 effort in managing things for multiple Windows versions, for anyone along the entirety of the ecosystem? From MS developer, third party developer, hardware, drivers, users, etc?

How about testing? Do you think that there's no testing put out when a fix has to go out for 2 OS, regardless of how similar they are?

> What problems are solved by getting all Windows users onto Windows 11 in particular?

I have given a few. If you don't want to see it, that's fine.

rovr138··on Git 3.0's upcoming SHA-256 default will be a costly mistake
> Whereas getting everyone on the same git hash or python or IP protocol streamlines things enormously.

You don't think that if we had everyone on the same Windows version we could streamline things enormously?

For MS, for developers, for hardware manufacturers, and so on to be able to deploy, for example, ipv6 since everyone is on the same stack? Same stack, same bugs, same fixes.

I think you're also missing a quirk and that is, is everyone on a $200 plan using $10,000 worth of equivalent API spend?

I know people that have the most expensive plan on all the platforms... because

The other side to that is, what is 'cost'? Is cost just inference or are expenses also being taken into account? Because the expenses of these companies are huge to build the models.

No. Not legally.

Maybe *Fedora* has fixed or improved in the last 4 years. Or maybe they don't run Fedora.

You can relisten the stuff you have.

LP's, 8-tracks, cassettes, cd's, mp3 players, etc.

You didn't have the whole world at your hands. You had to pick what to listen to, what to buy, what to carry.

Yes, it's nice having the world available, but also, it's nice being able to sometimes think, ponder, make a decision, and explore that decision.

Based on all the responses, people need to learn to make a decision and live with it for a bit.

rovr138··on “It works better in the app”
If you think a book is made by the physical medium, you must think everything in paper is a book. The prose in a book has certain content structure, intent, and writing.

So unless a napkin and a receipt are books, what actually makes something a book is its content structure, intent, and writing. Not the paper it's printed on.

Kindle / Audible.

What's your alternative to these examples?

In my case, I use both, for different reasons, and continuously test other.

Anthropic finally added the ability to sort by spend.

I have thousands of people on an org. I had to go through every page to extract the top spenders.

Openai... you captured the sentiment.

Not OP

Unfortunately for me, a lot of my books are tied to them.

I have like 5 parking apps. It's exhausting.

The worst part is not that, but.. _which is the app for this area?_

rovr138··on Felony charges for citizen deleting phone data at US Border
It's not the same issue. From the article,

> After questioning, he eventually turned it over but gave officers a passcode that then erased the contents of his Google Pixel phone.

I don't see the problem being a clean device, but destroying evidence in the moment.

> I don't trust government to maintain the security level my job requires

What does the security officer at your company say?

Either you shouldn't be leaving with devices with the data from your job on them, or you don't trust them, but your job is fine with it.

I keep work things separate. If it's a personal trip, I don't travel with work devices. If it's a work trip, and there's worry, I usually take a loaner device usually with ms office and a vpn.

Usually the issue is not returning, but other governments.

rovr138··on Ask HN: Who Has This Pain?
What is a 'sensitive environment' in this case?

If it's a sensitive environment like what I'm thinking, you probably have a security officer. What do they say should be the process?

Is the device the sensitive environment? Or is it the network?

Can you have a separate device/network in which to do this?

Weev went to jail for accessing public api's, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weev#AT&T_data_breach

It was argued that he didn't circumvent, but it didn't stop them from putting him in jail initially.

rovr138··on Ask HN: Anyone still do work on Intel Macs?
macOS 26, Tahoe, is the last supporting Intel Mac. Tahoe will be superseded in 2026. 2 more years for Tahoe updates (unless they change how they support previous os versions (current + 2 versions back))

Not much longer for supported versions.
