Ace is actually uniquely designed to support that. Our training staff simply record their screens and mouse+keyboard events. We transform that into behavior cloning data to train the model. It's quite easy for us to do custom agents fo

So this is why my previous company had taken us to a retreat where we tried to brainstorm how to build AGI using post-it notes. We were given 5 minutes and then someone did a crude clustering and picked the biggest cluster.

GIL can remain default on. Users can simply disable it for chosen parts of their program.

You know it’s trivial to add a global lock to any concurrent program, right? What would you lose if other people started writing performant code?

You don't have to use PICO-8's text editor. You can just open up the p8 file in any text editor and hack away. VS Code has an extension for .p8 files as well which does syntax highlighting correctly.

DeepMind has already released the open source code and model parameters. The database makes it easier to access the predictions.

Note that most of recent work in reinforcement learning focus on creating a model which works on all or most of Atari games without using any game-specific knowledge. If researchers were to focus on only Ms. Pac Man, and ignore the "no

OpenAI ( https://openai.com/ ). OpenAI's research vision is at a similarly ambitious scale as DeepMind. They're also relatively more open in their research, and known to release papers, code, and models quickly. Cur

The weights are random. No attempt has been made to make sure the generated image looks aesthetically pleasing. That's the surprising bit: a random neural network generates good-looking images.

I think Andrej is arguing over and above the reasons you cite. Not only should you learn backprop because of the same reason you learn to do 2+2, but you should learn backprop ALSO because it's a leaky abstraction. This is a non-trivia

Why doesn't this get talked about more often? That there exists a fundamental VC v/s founder conflict. The VC wants at least one of his startup to go mega, while the founder wants his startup go big enough that his opportunity cos

It's easier to find fooling perturbations of one image, but not of the whole dataset. I assumed the question was can we use the universal perturbations for robust training? The answer to that is still "no", I think.

Short answer: No. Computing these perturbations requires an expensive optimization with multiple passes through the dataset, and this would be prohibitively expensive to do in the inner-most loop of training. There are other work in the lit

The proper YAGNI reply to this would be to use a proper library or work in the right abstraction layer so that you don't have to worry about SQL injection. For instance, Django provides the csrf_token which can be dropped in. That'

+1 to rattray's questions. Some more questions: do you think Django is showing its age? Should new web projects be started in new frameworks like Phoenix, or is Django still good to go?
