Since I have to go to the super market for fresh food, adding 30 seconds to get paper towels doesn't make much of a difference.

If that were the goal, why would they do so very little sience and so much PR?

That's a bullshit argument. You can seperate the CV portion from the analysis portion and just train the analysis portion by giving it realistcally limited information.

Correct, the bots "see" the entire map. Well, the parts that are not hidden by 'fog of war'.

The bots have perfect information (when the enemy is in vision) and perfect micromanagement through the API. A huge part of the challenge in dota is processing the viuals and audio cues from the game quickly and acting the limited informati

> Humans, not so much, as in all top-level competitions, human abilities improve minimally at the top That's just not true in doto. The player base improves quite a bit over time. The top pro plays from only a few years ago are not

The bots also have perfect knowledge of enemy hp/mana and the relative positioning through the API. In fact the bots are gifted perfect micromanagement through the API. This enables them to do things most humeans wouldn't try, bec

It's not just subtitles. The german dubs of both Simpsons and Futurama are infamous for being extremely literal translations.

Audi is selling passenger cars with LIDAR, but they don't do a 3D point cloud visualization.

Correct. Car manufacturers and automotive suppliers are doing only very little testing of the kind that has to be reported in California, at least not in California. Those reported statistics are mostly marketing by Silly Valley companies.

You can't actually get that far in 15 minutes even at full speed, so 15 minutes is a high enough resolution to at least enable search parties to find the black box, which will hold much better data than can be transmitted anyway.
