True, but I've used python a lot, and I've used reduce maybe...twice? (well, twice that I can find on my github at least)

True, but two simultaneous and specific typos is much, much less likely than a single one.

Perfect, if each of those 10K hosts downloads the library 100 times you can now typo-attack the zope.event (working in python) library, which gets ~100 downloads per day, many of which are automated and so invulnerable to your attack. Your

I know, I wasn't suggesting this as a namespacing solution, but instead a typo-prevention one.

Well, you could also solve it by saying that the post slash names are unique. ie. There can't exist zardeh/serde if erickt/serde already exists. Then the author-name works as a logical checksum, and you aren't any worse

I feel like "pick the more popular package" is a good enough solution in this case.

>No, I assure you that stockfish definitely does not look "all the way down (ie to states where the game is over)" in most positions, even with pruning - that would take too long. It uses a static evaluation function to evaluat

No, stockfish uses minimax with pruning. Minimax and MCTS are just different algorithms. MCTS simulates games randomly and creates a distribution of expected value for each one based on some cool math. It estimates the value of each state b

Simply state "The test will be (bell)curved". Now all students have the same goal: perform better than as many other students as possible.

by zardeh 10y ago
But that isn't minimax, its pruning by some evaluation function, where in this case the evaluation function is "blackbox Deep neural net trained on many games"

Yup! Their additions to the algorithm are actually super simple, it was really surprising to me, its just very computationally intensive on the front end.

AG doesn't actually use minimax, it uses montecarlo tree search, which doesn't even try to simulate a good opponent, it just plays lots of games very fast.

Wait are you saying that XMPP was forced out (solely) by Google, and that Google at some point monopolized the "instant messenger" market? Not to mention that XMPP is a standard, not a competitor. This is like saying that modern c

What? This case had literally nothing to do with copying code.

The people I'm talking about were also students, (University Hackathon). A group of four, I want to say 2 sophomores and 2 freshmen. This was 2-3 years ago, so machine learning wasn't advanced (and even now, getting a functional

Asynch and concurrency are very different. Python 3.5 allows first class aysnchronous calls, but concurrency is still "hard".

I always find these cool, and then remember that I know someone who built a working (well working!) prototype of this in a weekend no almost no fanfare, from practically scratch.

What I love about this example is that its the same algorithm applied in two completely different areas. This algorithm (or variants of it) can be used in place of A/B testing. The same algorithm can be applied to game playing and you

Indeed, otherwise you might be guilty of have Simpson's paradox either way.

Reading the paper, it doesn't at all sound like AlphaGo uses anything that TD-Gammon used. It uses MCTS, which is unlike minimax. It doesn't use temporal difference learning, although they say that the policy somewhat resembles TD

So, ndg-httpsclient, mrjob, numpy, scrapy, monotonic and possibly others do have python3 compatibility. Then there's a bunch of deployment tools like ansible, fabric, and marionette which don't really need to be python3 compatible
