<p>it avoids sports bets because "Who will win game 6 of XYZ" is formatted on the polymarket backend as a Yes/No bet. There's a lot of markets with Yes/No plumbing even though you wouldn't interpret them as such</p>

<p>In your scenario you're assuming the dice rolls are all independent. If polymarket bets were all pure dice rolls the 60% odds you quoted would be true.<p>But they aren't independent there are a lot of correlations. Global geopolitics for example.<p>The way the math works out, 73% of markets resolve to No, If you buy No at 0.73 each time you would break even.<p>Not financial advice of course</p>

<p>Yes exactly.<p>The bot has zero risk management and I have a strong disclaimer on the github it is essentially a meme.<p>73% of all polymarkets do resolve to No though.<p>There's a good dataset on huggingface if you wanted to do some data science<p><a href="https://huggingface.co/datasets/SII-WANGZJ/Polymarket_data" rel="nofollow">https://huggingface.co/datasets/SII-WANGZJ/Polymarket_data</a></p>

<p>Hey I appreciate the general lack of cruelty so far in the comments, sometimes HN can be pretty rough.<p>The weird phrasing in the tweet is because I can't talk about any of the work I did due to NDA's besides my job description and those patents. But I had a pretty unusual role all things considered. I was also trying to clarify in the tweet that these aren't meant to be interpreted as unannounced existing features or capabilities of the product. But rather, research I did and contributed to, that was made public through patents.<p>There's a ton of interesting preexisting research literature about neurotechnology research for VR. Both in terms of using it for biofeedback, and using it as a device just for studying the brain. If that sounds interesting browse through what's out there via google scholar.<p>Also I said I spent 10% of my life working on it, realizing that was a goofy way of putting it. But it's a standout thing in my life and it was mostly a self reflection on what a trip being alive is, not trying to brag about it, mostly just sharing what I did. It's an unusual product and I had an unusual role<p>Anyway it's a cool device and hopefully people enjoy it.</p>

<p>Thanks, but btw someone else submitted this to HN I hadn't planned on fully publishing the project until a few weeks from now when my thesis is due but it was posted to medium.com so I quickly put some documentation together<p>There are more technical details at the bottom of that page in the form of diagrams</p>

<p>That's not what I did.<p>I used a genetic algorithm with facial detection/recognition algorithms as fitness functions<p>Recognition algorithms like eigenfaces, fischerfaces will reproduce one individual.<p>More general detection algorithms like YEF realtime object detection as a fitness function will result in more general faces which represent some of the learned features from the LFW database. I'm not just combining images, there's lots of machine learning involved.<p>Recheck my site in two weeks or so I'll be posting my MS thesis about the subject with more technical details.<p>(Wrote this on my phone excuse the brevity)</p>
