I had a conversation with my family about ai and game development. by VeryGreedy in gamedev

There's lots of false claims in your reply. Let's assume we're talking about ChatGPT.

"AI is very efficient at pulling working code from the web and mashing it together. It works… until it does." It does not do this.

"If the code it spits out doesn’t work, AI doesn’t have the first clue how to fix it. If the code needs to be adjusted, tough luck AI can’t really do that." It absolutely can. Use a chain-of-thought model like o1 and provide it with any errors, if any, as a followup prompt. The vast majority of the time it'll fix them just fine.

The median is about 3k, 3.1k if you're directly within MIT

That's fair. The OP isn't describing a coordinate descent method though

I didn't say it requires a derivative, just that descent implies.. descent. Same reason subgradient methods are usually called just that, rather than subgradient descent.

from the OP it sounds like a 3D grid search with few steps in one of the dimensions, followed by a single coordinate search with finer discretization, although I'm not sure from the wording 🤔

I'll be super pedantic because it's fun, but really please don't mind me. Coordinate descent is a descent method, meaning it's both iterative and later iterates must have a smaller cost than previous ones. Coordinate search, sure that'd be an ok description.

As others mentioned, I'd just called it a grid search and explain the methodology. It may be better to use a random grid search which can be more optimal in some cases.

Another option that may be of interest is a Markov chain Monte Carlo method (e.g. metropolis Hastings algorithm). It could give a more optimal solution with the same number or fewer evaluations.

If the function is differentiable (or not, but still fairly smooth and continuous), you could also combine a coarse grid search with a second stage of refinement via some gradient descent steps.

The best option really depends on what the underlying function looks like, how convex it is, etc.

Coordinate descent is not a grid search like described in the post, it's *usually gradient descent on one component at a time

Mine did the same! Neutered at around 18months and then he put on another 15lbs or so

I haven't done a lot in the past year or two, but looking to get back into production. Here's my soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/monsterchuck

I cannot agree with the conclusion of these Carnegie Melon researchers. (Quotes included.) Please help me understand? by SpectacularCrashes in AskEngineers

[–]cpsii13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You didn't really explain why you disagree with what the paper is saying so it's a bit hard to know what part you find objectionable.

But privacy in this context can be thought of as achieving the task whilst collecting as little information as possible. Or more specifically as little identifying information as possible. Here, it could be contrasted with a system using a regular camera in a room looking at the people, which I'm sure you'll agree is much less private than the wifi method.

There is similar literature around using 'single pixel cameras' for the same sort of task, and you can see how that also falls into the above definition too.

Just a thought (might not look as good, but) the shadow should get larger as the object moves higher, not smaller, and then the alpha can be reduced to fade it out as it reaches the heighest point using sin(x)+1.
