Is the bit about reading the game through an api true? Earlier iterations of this same rl based agent that played Atari games would read just raw pixels not an api.
Yes, it’s true. A special PySC interface was created for AI. Also, it’s not only that AI doesn’t need to parse information available on much limited screen real estate but also that AI doesn’t have to use controller that have physical constraints. So AI has access to this super human controller and it can decide to click on one screen extreme and then another within 200ms.
Any game that is specifically going out of its way to support these ai’s will naturally do it through an api, though I’m only aware of dota2 and sc2 (sc:bw also does, through a community-modified client that serves the api, iirc). For adhoc games, eg atari, pixel-parsing is the natural result, but no one would intentionally set it up like that
I don't know. The company is based in rural Austria and so it took company quite some time to find another engineer that will took on this project (me). I have never met him or have any other contact with him.
Agreed.
If anyone has recommended resources for someone coming from from SQL world and wanting to learn more about databases like Cassandra and HBase space, please share!
Searching YouTube for Cassandra summit talks is probably second
There was a push to do some better docs on the ASF website but it's just manpower that is currently spending time writing code instead - we have no real full time doc writers that focus on the open source product. Maybe some day someone will volunteer (and if you want to volunteer, I'll commit the docs for you - the site has a how to contribute guide, but honestly I'll take GitHub PRs if they're nontrivial even though it's an annoying workflow for our non-GitHub master).
I didn't see an answer to this on yr FAQ for candidates, and I think it's pretty important from privacy standpoint: Do candidates have total control over which companies you will reach out to on their behalf?
They are of similar quality to candidates that get through our normal screening process (direct applications). It is best to be very specific about what types of candidates you are looking for so they can match as well as possible. We're happy with them in general.
