Well, even if it is not impossible today, the likelihood of making it big approaches zero. In 2010, people were hungry for iOS games, but the supply of quality games was limited. There were few people who were able to write good OpenGL ES2

So what if you don't have a car: No car, but a parking space assigned to your condo/apt? Just rent it out to a neighbour with two cars, and you get those $150,- per month right back. Problem solved. I rented an additional space in

In French, "au quai" means "in the harbour." Cargo in the harbour, is not lost at sea, or in transit. Instead it is safe and sound, or O.K.

So about UWP: Browsing the Microsoft website, I see that you can develop in C++. But can you do OpenGL apps with UWP? Or is Direct3D the only way to do 3D for the UWP platform? If it is, it kinda makes porting from Android/iOS/Lin

Windows 10 Creator's edition was incredibly unstable for me: after the upgrade, it would hang within minutes after boot. Each and every time. This went away after upgrading firmware of my Samsung SSD EVO 840 drive. But yeah, windows ha

The i9 is most definitely something new. It is the first desktop CPU to bring AVX512. If the code is designed for it, that by itself doubles the perf compared to AVX2 CPUs. I look forward to porting my algorithms to 16 wide SIMD.

Yes, all actions have a cost associated with it. You can use it in different ways: like you describe: have some agents prefer certain actions, different from the preferences of other agents. The way I use it is to adapt to the environment.

AVX is used for exactly this: GOAP. The search space for the plans is ridiculously large, so testing pre-conditions needs to be insanely fast. With AVX, you get to test up to 256 boolean preconditions in one go! To give you an idea about

It crashes? Can you email b.stolk at gmail the call stack? You should see a window with crash info if it crashes. Thanks.

Playable right now. It's a free download from Steam. Look up `Children of Orc.' The player can give assignments to the other Orcs, and the action plans for those assignments are displayed in-game. The Orcs are smart enough to find

Indeed. So in GOAP, actions have pre-conditions and post-conditions (effects.) pickup-item was defined as: PRECONDITIONS: HANDS_EMPTY==1, NEAR_ITEM==1, HAVE_ITEM==0 POSTCONDITIONS: HAVE_ITEM:=1 HANDS_EMPTY:=0 Which makes it so that agents c

I've been using Orkin's Goal-Oriented-Action-Planning (GOAP) in my own game development. Let me tell you an amusing story of how an AI agent outsmarted me, the developer. So I had set up a test scenario, with an agent that could t

Indeed. And Vancouver seems to have a simpler method too: A tax of 1% of assessed value. In Paris, they need to come up with a "market rent" figure for each and every property to tax. Do they have those numbers? Using assessment v

I wish I could compare, but I moved into a (large) new home with a smart meter. I have no measurement that I can compare it to. On top of that, I just replaced all bulbs with LED, and wonder if that has been counterproductive.

Once the next generation (CannonLake) is out, AVX-512 will be available. With that, the SIMD width will be doubled, and AVX-512 optimized code could possibly double in performance as well, as long as the memory can keep up. https:/&#x

"Opendoor charges the seller a fee that is 2% to 4% higher than a traditional real estate broker." I guess they meant to write: "2 to 4 percentage POINTS higher." Which makes then ridiculously expensive.

Meh. If it is lower TOC that you are after, then move your data centre to multi core ARM. E.g. a 48 core 64 bit ARM processor: http://www.cavium.com/ThunderX_ARM_Processors.html So, Amazon, Alibaba, you know what to do now.

Sorry, but those calculations are totally wrong. They use the S&P index to calculate capital gains. They ignore the dividends that are paid on your capital, which is a significant portion of your growth, often even more than the capital
