Reminds me of this interactive demo (created by the lead of Dead Cells) where you can adjust the juice amount in the menu: https://deepnight.net/games/game-feel/

Are you sure this isn't just an example of the Gell-Mann amnesia effect?

> Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.

> In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

> Complex training courses, meditation and cultural exposure were most effective (gs = 0.66), while the use of cognitive manipulation drugs was least and also non-effective, g = 0.10. The type of training material was also important. For instance, figural methods were more effective in enhancing creativity, and enhancing converging thinking was more effective than enhancing divergent thinking.

reading the obits might fall under "cultural exposure".

When I read that text my first thought was making some videos of my mom that passed away, since so few videos of her exist and pictures don't capture her personality

Unfortunately I don't think that's possible because of the relatively short half-life of DNA.

I wonder if one possible solution is making things more "the Unix way" or like microservices. Then instead of depending on some super specific inputs to reach deep into some code branch, you can just send input directly to that piece and fuzz it. Even if fuzzers only catch shallow bugs, if everything is spread out enough then each part will be simple and shallow.

For Google Translate you should check out DeepL https://www.deepl.com/translator

It's absolutely insane, blows GT right out of the water with its accuracy.

Pretty much all SQL DBs support pagination, and many libraries that abstract the DB away hide this as an iterator.

Here are some insights into how OpenAI fine-tuned the rewards and short-term actions of the bots https://gist.github.com/dfarhi/66ec9d760ae0c49a5c492c9fae939...

The numbers seem pretty arbitrary to me, that's probably what this blog post is talking about when it mentions why it lost.

>a murder taboo is universal among human civilizations

Using the word murder is cheating. Of course an "unlawful killing" is taboo, it's in the definition! Killing humans is definitely not a universal taboo, just look at wars and those that support them. Since all ethical statements have an evaluative piece to them, we cannot say anything is universally taboo.

The U.S. Code is essentially a castle in the sky. It's quite useful though.

>The brain is a wet computer.

>Consciousness is what thinking feels like.

Do you think computers are conscious?

They did a similar thing with "confederate flag" not that long ago. I'm convinced Google Shopping is more for political PR than an actual place where anyone shops (Google probably knows this so doesn't care if they break their service to virtue signal)

I can't even search for the word "burgundy", which is quite a nice color.

Which is why information like that should be stored in the blockchain where it can't be modified.

Yes, you could take the cartridge out of the GameBoy and put it in the N64 controller then play on the TV.

Thunderf00t's video got that same response quite a few times. He made an additional video that directly responds to common complaints about the first video: https://youtu.be/DDwe2M-LDZQ?t=238

Silliness. We're not hurting the earth. We're just making it a bit less hospitable for us. It's bad, but it's not the apocalypse that some will have you believe.

It seems like most people in this thread are claiming that high APM and the ability to have perfect control over everything happening on the map will give the AI an advantage that will force a win.

Here is a video of one of the best current StarCraft bots losing to an D-rank (low skill) human player. The bot's APM is ~5500 while the human's is ~200. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztNYOnx_YQo

The fact is, no AI has ever beaten even an amateur player in a tournament. Even with great micro, if your play is too predictable then the human will learn it and exploit it.

I, for one, am very excited to see the development of new StarCraft AIs. And especially SC2 AIs so that it can challenge the current world champions.

Any set of beliefs? So religious discrimination is OK now?

I hope DeepCraft could do those things, since no other AI can at this point. And I hope it can do them better than any human. And I hope that DeepCraft can pivot its strategy on a dime when needed, in response to the human doing something. And I hope that it can do well against the myriad of play-styles that professionals have developed across the the three unique races.

My point is that DeepCraft is still gonna be quite a ways off, and is going to involve a lot more than just learning how to micro, cheese, drop, etc. (Which, by the way, would be quite a feat to even develop an AI that can learn these things since StarCraft has such a huge search space)

I see you linked Berkely Overmind and said that its micro can't be beaten.

Don't you remember the Human VS AI matches that took place with Overmind right after the tournament that year?

Watch an amateur human tear through its mutalisks. https://youtu.be/hmXY_pkU2Wc?list=PL9F69781768E85502&t=591

Seems quite prejudiced of her to simply look at her colleagues skin color and assume that she doesn't have much in common with them. Unless by "much" she means "her skin color", but that seems even more racist. I'll give the article the benefit of the doubt.

Now if only they could eliminate defecating in the streets. [1]
