  1. NVidia is too slow - All mining will end soon on NVIDIA To Launch Graphics Cards Specifically Designed For Digital Currency Mining (cnbc.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Cryptocurrencies are moving towards being mineless. Most of the newer cryptocurrencies can't be mined and bitcoin and ethereum and moving towards an upgrade that will remove mining to a much more efficient system (that uses less than 1/1000th of the energy mining does). They are moving to a "Proof-of-stake" system from a "Proof-of-work" system.

  2. Re:One word on Ask Slashdot: Why Are There No Huge Leaps Forward In CPU/GPU Power? · · Score: 1

    No... we are absolutely nowhere near the physical limits of computation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  3. Re:Death To All Jews on PewDiePie Calls Out the 'Old-School Media' For Spiteful Dishonesty · · Score: 1

    No he isn't. Watch the video. Who the hell is upvoting your comments?

  4. JOE ROGAN! on Slashdot Asks: Your Favorite Podcasts? And Why? · · Score: 2

    Rogan is funny and good, he has many interesting guests: recently had a former scientologist. Also, sam harris's waking up (philosophy) and very bad wizards (philosophy)

  5. Re:Heads-up Texas Holdem on An AI Is Finally Trouncing The World's Best Poker Players (cmu.edu) · · Score: 1

    Uh, several more years?

    Yes, years. Libratus uses 16 Terabytes of memory for just a 2 player game. The size of the game tree increases by at least a factor of 1000 when moving up to just 3 players. That's significantly more memory. Also the computations themselves take much longer when there's more than 2 players as something called "card removal" comes into effect.

  6. Re:Important milestone on An AI Is Finally Trouncing The World's Best Poker Players (cmu.edu) · · Score: 1

    That's not true. Poker does not require adapting to human behaviour. Just like in chess, poker AIs are always thinking about the best possible counter to their moves and trying to come up with a strategy to that (this process is repeated many times). No understanding of human behaviour is needed, an I expect that Libratus has no code in it whatsoever that adapts to the opponent it is playing.

  7. Re:Traitors. on After Brexit, More Than 100 Firms May Move To Ireland (mirror.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    You don't think trillions of £ wiped off the housing market alone is catastrophic?

  8. Re:Sounds stupid on Hire a Developer, Watch Them Work In Real-Time · · Score: 1

    Meh, you'll just have to scribble on software paper now instead. Or if it records your voice too, talking through the problem would be neat. Audio proof you're working.

  9. Re:WIRED has it right on Hugos Refuse To Award Anyone Rather Than Submit To Fans' Votes · · Score: 0

    You clearly have no idea what gamergate is. Visit www.reddit.com/r/kotakuinaction if you want a clue of what gamergate is. No one is upset about diversity in games or game developers, that's a lie the media has spun and SJWs continue to propagate. Sorry to hear you bought that lie.

  10. Honesty on Interviews: Ask Brianna Wu a Question · · Score: 1

    Why do you consistently lie to the media about being a woman? You are not a woman. You are a man who has a mental disorder and you need help. It's worth noting if slashdot deletes this comment, I'm interested in knowing if SJWs are running the shop here.

  11. Re:Just doing their job. on WikiLeaks: NSA Eavesdropped On the Last Three French Presidents · · Score: 1

    And the job of ISIS is to kill as many infidels as possible. Dunno why the news keeps going on about it, they're just doing their jobs.

  12. Re:What is this has got to do with MS's core busin on Microsoft Tries To Guess Relatives With "Twins or Not" · · Score: 1

    well they say they dont keep the photos, and they're useless to train any algorithm because you dont input whether you are related or not.

  13. Tesla was not the first to offer this idea on Mercedes-Benz Copies Tesla, Plans To Offer Home Energy Storage · · Score: -1, Troll

    Repeat after me: TESLA HAS INVENTED NOTHING NEW. THIS INCLUDES HYPERLOOPS AND ALL THEIR OTHER SHIT. STOP BUYING INTO THE FUCKING HYPE YOU MORONS. PS caps limit is somewhat annoying. caps limit is somewhat annoying. caps limit is somewhat annoying. caps limit is somewhat annoying. caps limit is somewhat annoying. caps limit is somewhat annoying. caps limit is somewhat annoying.

  14. Re:Affirmative Action on Harvard Hit With Racial Bias Complaint · · Score: 1

    It is racism. It doesn't matter if the end result of that racism is curing cancer, saving the world or all predjudice, etc. It doesn't change the fact that it's racism. Just because the end result is good doesn't mean racism isn't racism any more.

  15. Re:File this under "NO SHIT" on C Code On GitHub Has the Most "Ugly Hacks" · · Score: 1

    You sound incredibly angry. How DARE someone make a script that counts instances of "ugly hacks". IT IS A DISGRACE TO POINT OUT THINGS WE ALREADY KNOW. HAVE THESE PEOPLE NO DECORUM?

  16. Encrypt it then upload to the cloud on Ask Slashdot: Best Medium For Storing Data To Survive a Fire (or Other Disaster) · · Score: 1

    If it's encrypted properly it's basically impossible for anyone to break into it.

  17. This is NOT a scam on Sony Offers a "Premium Sound" SD Card For a Premium Price · · Score: 2, Informative

  18. Why not open source wolfram alpha? on Interviews: Ask Stephen Wolfram a Question · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you want to advance mathematics you must show your working.

  19. Re:Slashdot stance on #gamergate on Doxing Victim Zoe Quinn Launches Online "Anti-harassment Task Force" · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Not really. Much like how calling someone a "keyboard warrior" doesn't imply keyboards are bad, calling someone a "social justice warrior" isn't meant to imply that social justice is bad.

  20. Not Solved on Researchers "Solve" Texas Hold'Em, Create Perfect Robotic Player · · Score: 1

    http://forumserver.twoplustwo.... The author admits that the nemesis (perfect enemy) of this bot would have a win rate of 0.05bb/100 (this is extremely small). So it is not technically solved, but it's close enough.

  21. Re:Perfect? Really? on Researchers "Solve" Texas Hold'Em, Create Perfect Robotic Player · · Score: 1

    In terms of game theory, the strategy is optimal.

  22. Re:Perfect? Really? on Researchers "Solve" Texas Hold'Em, Create Perfect Robotic Player · · Score: 1

    It will never work like you think it does. It will never fold 100% to a bet in any scenario. It will fold a probability between 0 and 100. Maybe 30% maybe 70%. It is the perfect strategy in the sense that even though you know the strategy entirely you can still lose. I can tell you my entire tic tac toe strategy. And yet you will still be unable to defeat me, though you may lose if you make mistakes. This is how the bot is. You can only hope to draw with it.

  23. Re:WHY are men trying to scare women away from gam on Why the Trolls Will Always Win · · Score: 1

    They aren't. Some women see people attacking them and assume "They're attacking me because I'm a woman". And the media loves to play this narrative. The real reason people get harassed isn't because of their gender, it's because they're idiots.

  24. Be sure to click evan miller link on Fixing Steam's User Rating Charts · · Score: 2

    http://www.evanmiller.org/how-... This was linked before on slasdot IIRC. This is basically a blog post saying "hey this can be used on steam too, not just amazon!"

  25. Re:So what exactly is the market here. on Apple Announces Smartwatch, Bigger iPhones, Mobile Payments · · Score: 1

    Perhaps its more of a fasion statement than for practicality. Sort of like beats headphones *smirk*.
