The AIs were just too smart for Craps… Which is more, ‘15 to 1’ or ‘16 for 1’? Well the AIs know they are they’re the same thing; and when it came to Craps they would constantly provide payouts as ‘to 1’. Presumably this was just a natural tendency to reduce. But with Craps, it actually is, ‘for 1’, it’s written on the table that way. It’s not just convention, this would throw off people’s…
Infinity Levels has arrived. Using Tensorflow, an open source Machine Leanring platform, I have setup a level generator which creates levels ondemand. Here is how I did it. Looking at a screenshot here of the app, you can see a clear grid pattern. There is a 20X30 grid. Each cell is either a space, rock, or exit. The user draws lines with their finger to get the car to the exit. For this task I…

My query has been, “What does a $4 Horn Bet pay?”. For you…
Introduction “Why I Quit Being So Accommodating” is a Short Story I found on Hacker News . The story is excellent, and with linkrot being what it is, I wanted to print it out to make sure I had it forever. So I printed it out, then as I sat in my chair and looked up at the end of my bookshelf, seeing a handful of printed sheets of computer paper, I thought to myself, “I can do better”. printed out…

No more searching for that discussion link, now it’s right in the tweet. YOU ASKED FOR IT, NOW IT’S HERE Monday…
People telling you, “good idea”, is NOT a reliable metric for the market viability of your idea. Another approach is to generate a hypothesis of the problem, what exactly is the problem you are trying to solve? Ask yourself, what group of people would really benefit from this proposed solution? THEN you go and find those people and interview them. People telling you, “good idea”, is NOT a reliable…
