Flamegraphs are a really lovely tool for visualizing trees. Slightly related anecdote: A while ago I was experimenting with interactive exploration of (huge) Monte Carlo Tree Searc…

The app asks you to move the camera or change your expression throughout the verification. I'm not familiar with how it works on the implementation side. A ML conference that I att…

Can't speak about this one in particular, but the face scans for banking that I know of also includes liveness checks to avoid AI impersonation (and presumably dead bodies).

Mixing them should be relatively common when denoting intervals, as in "(a, b]" or "[a, b)", so that'd be one cause for being unbalanced. But even so, the math on their usage still…

This apparently fits the bill: https://patricksurry.github.io/posts/flowsnake/ . Amit's post led me to search about recursive coordinates for hexes again and I came across it in a …

> with the S and Q in Portuguese Guilty as charged. Pronouncing letters and numbers in English requires an active mental effort for me, so that happens if I'm not paying attention.…

There's already `ls --hyperlink` for clickable results, but that depends on your terminal supporting the URL escape sequence.

Would've been perfect had you said jndex.

Bummer, I had no idea about that. But I guess that, at least for turn-based games, it wouldn't be super annoying if you manage to split the logic (F#) from the UI glue (C#), right?…

I think it'd be interesting to compare against F#, especially since Godot already has first-class support for .NET. When the bindings get fully fleshed out, what will OCaml bring t…

Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13857116 Love it, thanks for posting. Reading through, this method sounds a lot like Thompson sampling, and surely enough,…

Often I wish that: enum Auth { Guest, User(u32), Bot(u32) } was just syntactic sugar for struct Auth::Guest; struct Auth::User(u32); struct Auth::Bot(u32); type Auth = Auth::Guest …

There's also the Alabaster variants [1], which includes a dark theme. I really like Alabaster BG, but sadly VS Code lacks support to implement it. [1]: https://github.com/tonsky/su…

Somehow the paper they mention completely flew under my radar when I was researching MCTS. Surely it's gonna be a lot of fun to give this modification a spin on my next opportunity…

Building and (most importantly) programming one of those was a pipe dream back when I used to browse Let's Make Robots a bunch of years ago. Sadly nowadays I just can't get into th…

My favorite resource on Thompson Sampling is https://everyday-data-science.tigyog.app/a-b-testing >. After learning about it, I went on to replace the UCT formula in MCTS with it a…

Ultimately, what kinds of incentives does having no respecs leads to? I don't think I've ever really cared about immersion. I like experimenting with stuff. In a long game, having …

How about U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE? 1 000 (Narrow nbsp) 1 000 (Regular nbsp) (Assuming HN even allows it.)

That is actually a problem under research; there are a few papers on it and luckily they use the obvious name — TSP with drones or TSP-D. I gave that problem a very shallow go for …

I recently had the same problem with Conda's and Pandoc's initializations in Bash. At first I did the same as the author and just dumped the output from `pandoc --bash-completion` …

I'm experimenting with this for client-server design in game development, to ensure that the clients are in sync with the server: since the only way to change the game state is thr…

Isn't it the other way around? If you have an “AB” event, it's fairly trivial to go through the log and split it into “A then B”. If you have “A then C then B” for whatever reason …

I don't know whether to feel disgusted or fascinated by this. I find the concept of prototype-based inheritance quite elegant, but this is a bit too much insane.
