I'd love to run some math on the entropy this actually gives you... If you assume people are using common dictionary word passwords, you could even develop special tables based on common letter positions or substrings. Assuming a chara

Watch the talk about Civilization's AI. Seriously, game AI does not need to use advanced ML techniques, and probably shouldn't if you want players to have fun. The trick is coming up with fast algorithms, with a semblance of perso

This is a mistake of the parent. You can't "make" them become something. That's why they hate it, not because of the school. You are forcing them to do it. I've seen this with people who are coders trying to force t

Bipolar is not related to stress disorders. Please don't try to use this article as a primary source, because it misinterprets everything and tries to put a "self-help" spin on it, which is just going to confuse you more.

A think the right way to test such a tool is to start with a list of known portmanteaus or rhymes, and check if the tool successfully finds them, and with what precision and recall. Just having people plug in words and find things that th

So, you agree with me then. You can't say "What do you call a sleepy cat? A /grumbea-gle/ (grumpy-beagle)!" It's a portmanteau, sure, but it is not really even close to the input. Using word2vec here is probabl

On the other hand, it comes up with "Beagle" and "Labrador" as synonyms of "cat". Color me unimpressed. This seems like something that has been done before, and the fact the paper has no references indicates to

Very plainly: no, hand coding is not going to be able to compete with a fully developed ML/AI agent. Even simple hand coded agents use AI techniques such as minimax, which is fundamentally an "AI" technique even though most p
