Dota 2 with Large Scale Deep Reinforcement Learning

"When successfully scaled up, modern reinforcement learning techniques can achieve superhuman performance in competitive esports games. The key ingredients are to expand the scale of compute used, by increasing the batch size and total training time. In order to extend the training time of a single run to ten months, we developed surgery techniques for continuing training across changes to the model and environment. While we focused on Dota 2, we hypothesize these results will apply more generally and these methods can solve any zero-sum two-team continuous environment which can be simulated in parallel across hundreds of thousands of instances. In the future, environments and tasks will continue to grow in complexity. Scaling will become even more important (for current methods) as the tasks become more challenging."

I approached my mother while she was cooking (she was cooking because even though she has a broken leg, she offered to cook for me and her), I asked her if she knew why I’m constantly correcting her, when she requests something of me, to which she didn’t really have an answer, somehow she felt offended by the fact that she could learn something anything from me. A few minutes of chatting later and she delivered the wall shattering statement, she said: “Because of you, it’s not easier to live!”. That was quite painful to hear, especially because since she broke her leg, I was always at her side. It is true that some of the time when she asked me to do something I would ask her how to do that, but that’s mostly to avoid doing something twice, you know, doing it the first time the way you think she wants it done, and then doing it the second time when she sees how you’ve done it and tells you how she wanted it done. Because of this revelation (a surprising and previously unknown

Stop Hating Yourself | Russell Brand

Do you hate yourself, bloody hell, it seems so severe I don't even like saying it out loud but there have been times in my life sometimes not that long ago where I have felt self-hatred, when I break it down it's not that I hate my essence is maybe I hate behaviors or feel like I can't live with myself anymore, Eckhart Tolle used that phrase brilliantly, I can't live with myself anymore, recognising that that indicates even to people self-hatred is like that, I interpret it as a desire to immolate or burn the egoic individualized constructed self, I believe that even in negative impulses there is something positive that can be used, and this is a good example, the self-hatred can be regarded as a kind of awakening to the transition you require of yourself, as if part of you knows there is no future in the person that you've been living as, I can no longer be that man, I've had many times in my life where I felt I've had to transition between the person I wa

How to do Magic - An experiemnt with automatic article generator

I've been researching various ML techniques for analysing, creating and understanding texts, and along that path I've stumbled across various websites that claim they'll write an article on which ever topic you give them... So of course I gave them a topic "How to do Magic", because why not, right? Here's what they created: Magic does not belong to any one spiritual or religious path. These along with other traditions from around the globe have been passed down over the hundreds of years and are still very much in practice today. In the realm of Wicca, magical traditions have a tendency to be rooted in the hundreds of years old practices of the folk healers of Europe and also the ancient Hermetic philosophies rediscovered throughout the Renaissance. But while there are tried and true spells and methods that have been passed down over the generations, magic in Wicca is not at all a static art. New spells and new approaches to magical manifestation arise all

Why the Days Seem Shorter as We Get Older

" Why does it feel that the time passes faster as we get older? What is the physical basis for the impression that some days are slower than others? Why do we tend to focus on the unusual (the surprise), not on the ever present? This article unveils the physics basis for these common observations. The reason is that the measurable ‘clock time’ is not the same as the time perceived by the human mind. The ‘mind time’ is a sequence of images, i.e. reflections of nature that are fed by stimuli from sensory organs. The rate at which changes in mental images are perceived decreases with age, because of several physical features that change with age: saccades frequency, body size, pathways degradation, etc. The misalignment between mental-image time and clock time serves to unite the voluminous observations of this phenomenon in the literature with the constructal law of evolution of flow architecture, as physics. " -Bejan, A. (n.d.). Why the Days Seem Shorter as We

GPT-2 Experiment No. 2 - Kinda strange!

Here's another one, very strange indeed! Illuminati confirmed? Model prompt >>> There once was this cool girl named Nina. She was a mystical creature that liked blueberries very much. SAMPLE 1 ===============================================================  You would think you'd smell them in the ground or something, but in this instance you couldn't. It was a theme from her tattoo that turned into a whole bunch of plastic sticks. With an outline of her face and the symbol of purity, her face had this idea of purity. So something was happening in the mind that was causing Nina so much pain. Did you know that she was recognized by Nature? It turns out that flow onto the floor of the water between eyes is really important to her. [Screen behind yawn.] How are you doing? [laughing.] It's fine. I mean it's not my fault, Yogic. We've never been together before. [combo follow-up] What's happened? [singing music] Oh, wow, absolutely. Do you like tha

GPT-2 Experiment No. 1

I've been playing a bit with GPT-2, which is a program that can predict the next word and thus create interesting texts, it was created by making a neural network and then feeding it with a lot of data of various different texts, they didn't release the full model, but they did release this smaller version of the model, thus I've been playing with it and it's very interesting, this is just one of the results that I've got! Model prompt >>> Luka is a god of death, living beyong time and space.  SAMPLE 1 ===============================================================  To him, the time between the time of the universe itself and when the sun first emerged may have stood as the limit of time's lifespan; thus his time was short, yet he is an intelligent man. He can't control time, so the fact that he lives in a timeline so short as it, he is able to use the existence that he lives in to create new age. His own time may turn into a new age of space

Welcome to a new era!

Hello! I know I've been very absent, but that's about to change! The reason why I've been absent is because the police (U U It's the sound of the police!) has my laptop, why? I'll tell some other time. And I know I could have been writing on my stationary pc, but.... butts? The reason for this post I that I've bought a domain name mortuus.blog, which means that you can access this blog from any device just by typing mortuus.blog into the URL, that's the websites new address lovemortuus.blogspot.com is of course still active, it's just a new easier address ^^ I'm getting better, which is good and it means that I've also started to work on stuff, instead of just sleeping all day. My current projects are: -A phone with an amazing battery, -Internet controlled pellet furnace, -A website for Limbuš I'm also thinking about these: -DIY UPS -CNC Chess -Habit Tracker Also I've been recording my game footage with my best frie
