As an outsider, the easiest hack to me seems to break down states in your team’s colors to multiple states. Fight fire with fire.


This idea is about as realistic as breaking up Germany into its constituent Länder so they'd get more EU commissioners.


Illegal without 100% consent which renders the idea moot - except just maybe in the case of Texas, which had a special clause during accession to allow division into up to 5 states. It's not entirely clear though whether the clause still allows that (or did it apply only for that particular congress).


Well states don’t have the power to do that. So not a very “easy hack”.


With just incrementalism there’s still enough value to extract from the current methods of deep learning to propel a small country into a golden age. Leaps and bounds are needed to get to AGI, but winter comes when there’s no more money on the table, not because we can’t reach our scifi fantasies.


AGI = Artificial General Intelligence?


Yes!


This is frustrating and borderline cringe-inducing to read. YC clearly has their eyes on tapping introvert talent. That's a good thing. What’s not is trying to use the same stale tools and programs to catch them. Hint: this is not the crowd that will be comfortable talking on camera, about themselves, answering such bombastic questions. Try again.


Technically, the rules do not prevent submitters from uploading silent slideshows that just so happen to be in video file formats. Presumably anyone whose goal was "finally solving physics," would be clever enough to think of this. ;)


i give them credit for doing it. if they find something there, they can improve on it. v1 rarely nails everything (nor does v100!)

I thought that ad looked familiar! I'm almost positive that I thought about applying to it when I graduated college in 2007.


Yep, you can sign up for a free account and try it out for yourself :-)


Cool. Gamify and increase engagement with customer, not sure it is similar service with https://www.punchtab.com/


How does this work for 3rd-party scripts?


Sounds like that's successful for the DDoS mitigation provider.
