Re: 2020 Democratic Primary

Its not as if uncontrolled capitalism is a bad thing right? Who cares if the rest of the world are slaves, as long as the lucky few have more money than they could ever hope to spend.

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary

A flat tax system is the fairest, imo. Same conditions and requirements for everyone. Clear rules, simple to apply, less costs to apply tax regulations, nondiscrimination and equitability. I don't see why should people who earn more be punished for that. It incentivises them to seek ways to dodge t...

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary

I just wanted to say that $15 minimum wage is really high, even for European standards I think. I don't know if that'd be a good change. It might be better to look at increased taxes first?

Re: THE BEST MOUSE

the cheapest mouse on earth is OK if it works normally and if you are not PR 35+ (and even then idk) I mean you just need to right click and to left click what else?? A good mouse is really comfortable and accurate though, even if you aren't super competitive. It's one of the best things I've ever ...

- wont build limits be a problem potentially? Factories have a build limit of 2 iirc and same with if you ship 2 fort wagons but can only build 1? Factories don't have a build limit, for fort there are different cards - some do increase the build limit, some don't. Sorry to spam with questions but ...

Re: diarouga vs snowww

Also I absolutely loved how Diarouga approached this. I think its rare for us to see cases where people are stuck with a civ in some match up that is generally bad and have to find ways to make it work or at least to maximize the winrate. Diarouga was forced to play aztec against british, and manage...

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?

Ahah that video is hilarious. But I think the problem there is that most attacks have a projectile instead of doing instant damage. Also SC2 is full of units that don't necessarily counter each other but can beat each other depending on micro (e.g. marines vs banelings). AOE3 mostly employs big dam...

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?

Btw, I think deepmind is set to solve sc2 with a real apm limitation. I think this is their concession that they are unable to solve this precise strategic thing yet. I think nobody doubts that deepmind could currently get really good at sc2 if there was no limit on its apm, and even with high apm i...

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?

In what sense is huge trial and error not still brute force? If I ask you to solve a puzzle to get some 5 digit code, you can either solve the puzzle or just try all options. I do agree that the AI's trial and error is quite efficient and it actually does some learning, but it's still relative brut...

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?

Well Alphazero (and the other thing they made to play lots of other games like 2d atari games etc) learnt by making random moves and then finding patterns from what resulted in victory (or score in 2d games case), so it played a really really large number of games but still an infinitesimal fractio...

Come on, it's not like I dont understand this, it is just that you're not up to date to what deep learning is doing. They are even using deep learning machines in medicine to diagnose diseases...

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?

I watched the entire deepmind presentation of alphago and that was still a form of brute force. No it does not calculate all possibilities, but it still has an insane amount of information and plays an insane amount of games versus itself. In that sense its still brute force; its basically solving ...

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?

AI has the advantage of brute forcing their way through, but humans have an amazing ability to solve strategic concepts in a very small amount of attempts. We have this inate ability to make assumptions and grasp the underlying concepts of a game pretty quickly and use those to create axioms in how ...

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?

Implied cynicism aside, I think it'd be pretty cool to be an even more active contributor to strategies and playstyles. Kynesie is another person that comes to mind. This is one of the things that is really special about aoe3. It allows for relative casuals like us to actually discover the game rath...

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?

There are also plenty of analogies between aoe3 and many other games though. Ultimately I hope AI never touches aoe3. Aoe3's beauty is in the way strategy works. It's easy enough for us to understand it pretty well, but it's complex enough for people to not solve it completely and it matters enough ...
