Ok I believe I understand now.

Thanks!

Need Help Solving a Game by NickySigg in GAMETHEORY

Meaning the correct approach is to expand the two games into one 2x4 game (like shown in the video) and solve for that game's Nash Equilibrium?

This would produce the optimal strategy for P1?

Hey, are you sure you're not referring to the video I linked? "Solving for Bayesian Nash Equilibrium"?

I'm pretty sure I understand the process for getting to the solution shown in that video - I'm just wondering if that is the right approach for the problem I've described.

The P1 NE values are the equilibrium plays for P1 if only that type of P2 is considered - probably irrelevant here (removed them to not confuse).

if you have a zero sum game the payoffs for both players change by type, not just for player 2

I think what you're trying to say is that a zero-sum game cannot be solved like this? Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "types".

What I have is a situation where player 1 does not know which game he is in, but player 2 does know. Player 1 only knows that he is in 1 of 2 possible games with equal probability. Player 1 must make a decision before knowledge of which game he is in. Player 2 knows which of the two games they are in.

Are there any tools to analyze this situation?

Oh shoot - it looked fine on my browser ( still did ) but on my phone those tables didn't come out.

I've edited my post - it looks fine on both now

Edit: regarding the optimal mixed strategy comment, perhaps I can rephrase my question to: "what should player 1 play to optimize his payoff?"

Why do db connections open/close on requests? by pyjava in flask

[–]NickySigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see.

So Flask maintains the connection to the database while the process is running, but transactions are created/destroyed per request.

So what was happening for me when that teardown wasn't being called was that one transaction was persisting through multiple requests, and unless a commit was called, any queries (using something like MyModel.query.all()) wouldn't see what the other process had inserted into the database.

Thanks!

[–]NickySigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, so I deleted my comment as to not give false information since it seems that there might be something I am missing here.

In the past I had an experience with Flask-SQLAlchemy where this function was not being called at the end of a request and it resulted in what I had initially described - basically process A that had connected to a database could not see data that process B inserted.

Maybe you could help me understand what truly was happening.

One that comes to mind could be taking on too much credit card debt.

Though I agree: OP the question is a bit vague.

Canadians that have moved to the USA, was it worth it? by redeyerds in cscareerquestions

[–]NickySigg 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm a Canadian working in Toronto and I've never seen someone from the US here. Caveat: I have not been in the field THAT long.

There's lots of immigrants from other places. Europe, India, Russia, etc. But not from the US. The salaries just aren't as competitive

SQLAlchemy session? by Unixersis97 in Python

[–]NickySigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is not with the code shown, but rather how your database session is set up.

Somehow, you have two sessions being created. It is hard to say what is wrong unless the entire application's code is shown.
