"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 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
