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 Search trees. Inspired by file system visualization tools, my fir

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 attended had a presenter working on this area and beating

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 doesn't add up.

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 StackExchange comment.

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

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 never got around to that point though, I usually st

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 to the table to warrant the extra hoops for the user tha

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, the previous thread came up after a quick

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 | Auth::User | Auth::Bot; whe

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/sublime-scheme-alabaster

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 these projects that'd need me to spend money an

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 and the results were... not much bette

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 no option to undo whatever I cook up means I'

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 a Metaheuristics assignment, and while I didn't really

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` et al. into a file, but then I'd have to deal

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 through events, I (as a developer) am unable to forget to

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 and then realize that you need to aggregate “A” an

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.

It is probably already too late to put this in practice, as it is a breaking change, but... Wouldn't applying Unicode normalization on domains solve this issue? For example, if a site attempts to send me to “ápple.com”, my user-agent w

Out of curiosity, have you experimented with accessing the VM through SSH? If so, what was it like? I could see myself using a similar setup down the line, but having two graphical environments seems like it'd be somewhat distracting o
