Funny how some people believe that brain simulations are relatively nearby, but we can't even simulate an FPGa well enough to trust the model.

>Detroit: Become Human is one recent example of how AI is used to manage the enormous complexity in game narrative. What does it do? From walkthroughs I've seen, it looks extremely scripted.

I didn't have any expectations, but FEAR AI was one of the best I've seen in games. I could replay the same battle over an over again, and the enemies did different, convincingly intelligent things, based on my own actions.

This just goes to show how messed up the whole AI field is right now. It shouldn't be about "trying hard". Either they used the right network for their analysis, or they didn't. It should be possible to do negative analy

Good article, but I'm not sure who it is targeted at. Companies/teams that do bad things the author recommends against (or don't do good things he recommends) are usually ran by people who either don't care or are patho

What a horrible design decision. Instead of making a system that simply works or doesn't work Microsoft allowed everyone to produce apps which break at random times in the future. It's one of those "what could possibly go wro

No shit. We're using a computer architecture envisioned in the late 50s. Our main processing units are made by a near-monopoly. The situation is so bad that to do any real computing we need to put another computer (GPU) inside of our c

To be fair, "the web" out of the box does jack shit for creating actual interactive documents of this kind. But it's definitely possible to do something similar using HTML as the core markup with the fraction of the code.

The core idea is nice (using simple markup instead of code), but it seems developers these days are completely oblivious to the fact that HTML is extensible and was literally designed to do this kind of stuff. Markdown is better for simple
