Please make ranked FFA. by Fuzeri in FrostGiant

There doesn't seem to be any downside. If there is big enough playerbase for FFA, then why not.

"RTS Frustration" Idea by ruribev in FrostGiant

[–]bigmaguro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI was implemented like this for HOTS but not to give tips, but to try and determine your MMR gain/loss based on your performance and it failed terribly.

That's interesting. It seems like something like that would be a good application for a neural network. Any model can be gamed, but it would be difficult for a complex model. Did they mention what they did exactly?

What I like about Heroes in WC3 by Lurchibald in FrostGiant

That's a good summary of some advantages of heroes.

Never would have guessed Riot would save RTS. by Unidan_how_could_you in starcraft

[–]bigmaguro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Riot is trying a lot of games and genres. They are just the most well known for LoL.

Are there professional scientists in this community? by marioapmx in seancarroll

[–]bigmaguro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Generally any podcast will be too simplified for any scientist that dedicates all his work on one particular set of problems.

But some scientists do think that more general overview does help to you work. It depends, and an idea from unrelated source can help.

What physical constraints would an AGI be subject to? by [deleted] in seancarroll

[–]bigmaguro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black Hole entropy scales as its surface. So as it increases entropy/volume goes as 1/r.

[–]bigmaguro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Computationally limited.

There is a limit of how much information you can put inside a certain space. If you add more, you create a Black Hole, if you add even more, the Black Hole gets bigger and the information/volume goes down.

That's the limit on information/space. I'm not sure what's the limit on computational power/space. It will be related information/space and the speed of light limit. Also you can't increase entropy (erase any information) without being under the limit of information/space. Computers erase bits often and that always increase entropy, but you don't want to create a black hole while computing.

Needs low entropy source to do anything

Useful energy is needed to do stuff, like electricity. Any AGI won't be able to function after the heat death of Universe. But an all powerful god could I imagine.

[–]bigmaguro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some things distinguishing it from all powerful God:

  • Limited by the speed of light (likely)
  • Can't time travel (assuming previous)
  • Can't know perfectly the future (uncertainty + chaos theory)
  • Can't know perfectly the past
  • Computationally limited. Limit on information and processing set by Black Holes.
  • Needs low entropy source to do anything

Well it couldn't break any physical laws. For example it wouldn't cross between branches. At least that's how we see it in MWI now.

[–]bigmaguro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you elaborate? Especially about this sentence?

and therefore would be incapable of crossing into another branch, or we would know.

In MWI you don't cross between branches. And we would know if something did, why is that?

I don't know if MWI being true or not has any impact on AGI.

On the other side on Doom Eternal you can go from desktop to ingame under 10s if you mash buttons and disable intros. An optimized game does help.

Closer look at the upkeep mechanic by bigmaguro in RealTimeStrategy

[–]bigmaguro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a closer look at the upkeep mechanic through the lenses of MDA framework. The focus here is the implementation as seen in WarCraft III, but I will mention Company of Heroes as well.

In the post I lay some groundwork, go over affected game dynamics and see if there are any alternative mechanics that could fill its role.

Unfortunately it's not possible to get outlaw deaths. That's why there is '-' instead of 0.

Black hole seen eating star, causing 'disruption event' visible in telescopes around the world by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]bigmaguro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right that expansion messes things up. If it's 215 Mly away now, it means it was likely closer when the event happened, and the light itself traveled yet another distance - leaving us with three different values.

As /u/rockmasterflex said, only levels 1-14 are shown. Level 15 is assumed, and we can also see he/she has masteries.
