Back in college, when one of my CS courses had an RPS tournament, the strategies to beat were:
Kill the process running the opponent’s code. This looks like the opponent crashed, resulting in a win.
Use gdb to get access to the opponent’s random number generator. Then, run opponent’s code with the RNG set to match, in order to perfectly predict what they’ll do.
Obviously this is not in the spirit of the game, but seems worth noting.
I agree with most of these, but listing “smart features” in cars as a good thing is so deeply counter to my preferences that I wanted to flag it. “Not having a screen” was near the top of my desiderata for a new car when I was in the market a couple years ago; those obnoxious fucking screens are an absolute dealbreaker for me.
