Interestingly, Hacker News used to be called Startup News in the early days.

Indeed, we’ve come full (half?) circle. IIRC, it was renamed to Hacker News in part to discourage meta-discussion on intellectually stimulating posts, questioning why the front page had so many posts that weren’t about startups. Now we are instead discussing startup post fatigue.

You can see the reasoning here (Aug 2007): https://news.ycombinator.com/hackernews.html. Basically, pg got bored reading about nothing but startups.

What ever happened to the OpenAI/universe GTA sandbox? Is there any reason Rockstar shouldn’t support research using their game?

If there was a nice solution for it, I would have done it but there isn't. Also the action space for that would be enormous. Maybe I will be making a MuZero Bot drive in GTA, that would be fun !

Did some searching around and found a hidden fork, have you tried this?

I was also wondering about this. There are two issues in OpenAI's GitHub repo related to the removal, with not much information:

- https://github.com/openai/universe/issues/126

- https://github.com/openai/universe/issues/160

And to me this is the essence of hacking and hacker culture, not “how do I create MVP from my idea and become an entrepreneur” or “this and that in company XYZ” mindset. So glad to see people doing silly things that in fact require skill. This is why I come to hackernews. Keep up great work with this wonderful attitude!

Comma.ai which is used in the demo is a for-profit company that makes a sellable product.

Yes, but the author is a student making use of their open source software. I think that's in the spirit of hacking.

Let's all give this 12 year old kid some applause. Me water-cooling my xbox 360 (yes, and I wasn't alone in doing so) at 13 felt cool, but this is on another level.

not 12. 15

I'm still jealous. At 15 I had a 10 MB hard drive and 4 color graphics available to me. While I am happy about who I am, I do wish sometimes my childhood had better technology available.

Interesting the idea that the original plan was that your votes count for more if you vote for the right kind of stories. Would seem to create an echo chamber effect where what’s already popular stays popular and new stuff doesn’t.
