I was just thinking about this. Does folding your hands count as a gear? The interlocked fingers make for a tighter grasp. When viewed from the palm side they even look like a gear. It is not the natural state of the hands but many gea

That's who I thought of, but how can he go from leading the AI department which is behind to leading the company with AI ahead of the competition?

In another HN article comment someone mentioned that it took Google Brain over a year to replicate the DeepMind AlphaZero code even though they are part of the same company. Yeah, I think there are barriers to communication there.

Report claims the damage estimate was $10M. Each bomber costs $1.1B, so it was 0.1% of the full unit cost. Similar to a $300 fender-bender on your $30K car. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/12/21&#x2

This is a different lunar lander than you are maybe thinking. It looks more like SpaceX's Starship than an Apollo lunar module. I don't think it has been made into a gym env yet but that would be great if it is!

Yes, I would like to see the environment ported to Python, wrapped in gym, and given a good shaped reward, i.e. like reward = prior_height_delta - (height - target_height) - fuel_cost. Run Stable Baselines PPO or DQN on that and it should

Several sites I found list Guaraná Antarctica as having 30 mg of caffeine vs Coke's 34 mg [0]. It is also similar in sugar content contrary to what I initially found. [0] https://sodapopcraft.com/what-is-guarana-soda

I love Guaraná and agree that Antarctica is the superior brand! Wikipedia describes the taste as "mild and slightly apple-like, with a berry after-flavour" [0] but I agree it is more like ginger ale or like spiced ginger beer. I

I remember watching this. Turns out BBC Natural History documentaries are more theater than just documentaries. If you watch the "making of" clips at the end of some of the series, you do get the sense that they may not be just

The last memorable earthquake in the Midwest was the 5.2 "tremor" of 2008 [0] just north of the New Madrid fault. It was felt as far away as Georgia and Nebraska. I recall a scientist quoted as saying that the area "rung li

I can verify the part about hot showers feeling euphoric. I was given the advice to take a shower "as hot as you can stand it". It takes away the itching for several hours. I remember looking up why it feels so good and it had s

"To believe with certainty we must begin by doubting." You would have company in that position. But to remain forever in doubt is to waver between belief and unbelief. To which do you tend?
