jonbaer··on Ask HN: Solving problems by mapping to other problems that we know how to solve
This was done (somewhat) a while back with linguistics in the form of symbolic reduction, while it has no direct interpretation to code it could be used that way (or at least I saw it that way), either way I found it to be one of the more interesting ideas in AIML at the time when we were developing the spec, but I don't take credit for it. It is somewhat explained at https://medium.com/pandorabots-blog/aiml-tutorial-the-srai-t... ... all these tags are just wrappers around an execution graph but it was a neat way to filter your way down to a static answer. I tend to think about it when I read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Master_Algorithm and his thinking behind Markov logic networks ... YMMV
jonbaer··on IPython 8.0
I really wish ipython and bpython would have a baby.

jonbaer··on How the brain navigates cities
I feel like there are some flaws in this, we don't usually have a "top-down" look at a mile around us if not given information (ie. fog of war), feels like we tend to point A to point B repeat because we are comfortable to take a route until otherwise told by someone else there is a shorter path. For example if someone had a drone/scout around I am sure you would be able to determine best routes and chokepoints, traffic, etc.

jonbaer··on Create, train and run Scikit-learn and TensorFlow models in Excel
Just a question about these type of apps/plugins, when it says something like this: "Add-in capabilities When this add-in is used, it Can read and make changes to your document Can send data over the Internet" is that isolated to just the pane you are currently on with the plugin?

jonbaer··on 0 A.D. Alpha 25: Yaunā
What I am hoping to see is the Petra AI code stubbed out for ML/RL tasks, https://github.com/0ad/0ad/tree/master/binaries/data/mods/pu... ... nearly every manager/function there could have it's actions modified based on what it views or calculates in previous gameplay. One was introduced a few alphas back before the interface, https://github.com/agentx-cgn/Hannibal
jonbaer··on The historical accuracy of medieval city-builder video games
This is probably one of the better reasons why I like 0AD [1] more than anything (besides being open sourced [2]). If you read the forums and traverse the amazing artwork it's like a history lesson and there was no 0AD so they can mix/match.

jonbaer··on EvalAI: An Open-Source Alternative to Kaggle
They make better points on their readme, https://github.com/Cloud-CV/EvalAI ... I wonder about the automation of the entire model and putting the winning solution right into production and it can be shared and openly available. Imagine you just describe a problem and let the crowd produce the best and the top solution is always available with zero work.

Congrats on launch. It seems a bit like FastAPI/ColabCode ... does this also work w/ Google Colab?

jonbaer··on Moderna mRNA sequence released to GitHub [pdf]
"Some vaccines require two doses because the immune response to the first dose is rather weak. The second dose helps to better reinforce this immune response." - I would have to think over time that could be optimized somehow to just require one w/ ML and test results, etc.
jonbaer··on Hutter Prize
So would something like tensorflow-compress[1] v4 (at some point) be the ideal candidate for breaking the current record?

Good time to watch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarGames again.
jonbaer··on Learning Machine Learning for Game Development
This sounds very familiar to the game I play 0ad (https://play0ad.com/), you have to actually find an enjoyable way to play RTS games but in this game I pick myself vs. 7 AI with a random map, you never get the same allies and how you develop a strategy around the market (ie. chokepoints) is a good 20% of the game. I just wish the AI decisions on diplomacy weren't so random but it sounds like that mini game will soon be solved, https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/robotics/artificial-inte...
jonbaer··on Learning Machine Learning for Game Development
I think you are right. There are SO many small mini games inside of nearly all RTS games which AI has yet to actually conquer, I will give another simple example, given a random map (and resources) identify chokepoints. As a human this is a huge clue on how to go about a game strategy (policy) but I have yet to find an AI do this (or optimize that part). From what I gather most time is spent on actually optimizing random build orders and modifying them along the way.
