Your comment is more insightful that u realize ;) Software projects often suffer from exponential variations in specs, implementation, testing, environment, etc. Nuclear projects often suffer from inflexible and pre-defined specs and constr

Are there similar projects which markup C to safer-C ? I remember seeing something similar but i cant find it. Somehow, it analyzes C code and produced C code with safe pointers, etc. Can someone please help ? Thanks (Not ASAN or binary-ins

The "sparse blue graph" is just the binary win loss outcome - learns ok-ish but slow The "dense orange graph" - uses more dense rewards - kills, health - and learns better. I referred to this as a "sparse reward&quo

Binary rewards (win/loss score at the end of the roll out) scored a "good" 70. With sparse reward (kills, health, etc), scored a better 80 and learned much faster. Normally, "reward engineering" uses human knowledg

Any thoughts from the DOTA team on handling a world map which not bounded in size ? In my projects, the "world" size can change (unlike Go, Chess where the board size is fixed). Is the DoTA board size fixed? I guess the LTSM encod

Quoting from the original article. > This logic takes milliseconds per tick to execute, versus nanoseconds for Chess or Go engines. So this is game engine itself, taking up the CPUs. Maybe the DoTA code can be optimized x2 for self play?

Is $3/ride really that low ? On my personal ebike, i do 2-4 rides a day and it has almost entirely replaced my car. So really, anyone in SF or NY who spends $50/month will surely consider getting his own? 3$ and even 2$ seems in

I wish i could be a fusion (and new nuclear) believer. But it is just so complicated. The free market is happy to produce 1M trucks a year. And 10M air conditioning units. And a gazillions flat screen TVs. How can you possibly compete as th

I have a custom game that i use for DRL and simulations. Is it worth while/possible to hook this game into Gym Retro. If I do, can i then use all the baseline algos on this ? How does this compare to ALE ?!

MoviePass should give out Book of the Week to discourage customers... Still, the NPR story mentions 15$/month Gym! in Manhattan! And its a huge place that can hold 300 people. Americans are crazy...

I am conflicted about this. The service runs 40 Anti Virus programs to test your uploaded executable. Obviously - this is used mostly by malware and various shady crap ware software. But making this a federal offense ? What happens when the

For context: In 2017 Intel buys Mobileye in $15.3B deal MobileEye is mostly based on classical ML and vision algos (just like Boston Robotics) rather than DL.
