And this is how I know I am not a developer/programmer. I have no urge or interest in such event.
I wonder how this is the most straightforward way to know that?
Readit NewsHey, community! Thank you for this opportunity to connect and feel closeness to the best parts and people in our industry.
Thank you for your open mindedness, smarts, stupid fun and lovable nerdiness.
I feel at home here.
One thing that makes me sad are dystopian fears. Not sure if this is warranted or not, but certainly get my dose of dread from HN. But thank you for being so sensitive and caring in this.
Happy thanksgiving.
The most fun on this site is solving a problem and then having your mind blown by solutions in Apl/j/k and trying to guess what they mean without knowing anything about those languages

It doesn't seem like the design of this experiment allows AIs to evolve novel strategy over time. I wonder if poker-as-text is similar to maths -- LLMs are unable to reason about the underlying reality.
You mean that they don’t have access to whole opponent behavior?
It would be hilaroius to allow table talk and see them trying to bluff and sway each other :D

>Behavioural addictions, characterised by compulsive engagement in rewarding activities despite adverse consequences in the long term, are more heterogeneous and less well-understood than substance addictions
Indeed. Mostly because every study on "behavioral addictions" is published in third tier journals or is a negative result in real journals. It's something that doesn't actually exist in mammals and it's current popularity is mostly from profit seeking scams for rehabilitation "clinics" preying on the 'screens are addictive' meme burning through current parent populations.
And despite the headlines suggesting otherwise, and the press likely running with those false headlines, *the actual study itself does not find any addictive behavior*. A null result.
>Despite the observed parallels between high-AB dogs and humans affected by behavioural addictions, we refrain from conclusively characterising high-AB dogs as exhibiting addictive behaviour, given the absence of established benchmarks or standardised criteria. It is important to be cautious when pathologising behaviour, especially given that even in humans, addictive behaviours are still difficult to define and measure.
can you provide more context for this claim? my intuition and experience tells me the opposite.
what is the definition here? are impulsive avoidance copings like playing a video game instead of doing the hard work of addressing the worries/planned hard activities not a “video game addiction”?
and if we are talking physical withdrawal, then how should we call the same aspect of nicotine/alcohol addiction mechanics?

But this an interesting problem too. More specifically is there an upper bound for the number of moves in a legal chess game?
there certainly is if you consider 50 moves rule.
And you can derive an easy upper bound from that as 50x8x8x2 (basically each 50 moves you make a pawn move)
if you only consider 3 moves repetition and not 50 move rule then this is harder and the number becomes one of those crazy combinatorical numbers.

Yes, very strange that the phrase "possible moves" never occurs in the article. The key word is "possible". The article consistently just uses the phrasing "have moves" but this is not an obvious way of phrasing things to the average person (although I think it's more common in chess lingo).
in chess lingo the most common is “legal moves”
