Suppose it cuts build time from 5 minutes to 30 seconds....
Technically, a transparently mirrored file system, a strong compiler cluster (memory, cores, etc). And some predictive ML. But you end up with a binary-equivalent (verifiable) output.
I wouldn't use it. Incremental builds aren't that bad, and I'd have a hard time trusting third party compiled libs enough to include in a release from a new service that hasn't built up trust the way that say a Linux distro has.
While you could assume any maliciousness or security compromise would be caught, as you can see from the rubygems news today this is not instant and it adds another point of failure.
I would likely use this depending on how transparent it was and the pricing and if it supported RLS etc. I was writing a rust project on a terrible old laptop that took 2-5 minutes for compilation time. I ended up standing up a Digital Ocean instance and used VScode (via Coder https://github.com/cdr/code-server ). And this ended up being the most workable solution. Cut down my compilation times significantly and also helped w/ VScode RAM usage.
Not sure how the buisness model for a cloud compiler would work, but I would be interested.
A bare volcanic rock after its eruption 600 years ago, the island is now largely reforested. Lava fields contain no soil of the typical kind, so it must come from windblown matter and slow breaking-down processes of the native flora.
Yes, but that’s not “reversing” so much as completely rebuilding soil, which takes decades of no farming and no tillage.
A lot of loss can also be trivially reduces by planting rows of trees between fields, which I saw all over the place in NZ, but haven’t seen elsewhere.
a. Is CFR applicable in single player hidden-information games? (e.g. state is initially hidden, gradually revealed to the agent, but there is not adversary)
b. How much more efficient is the improved search algorithm? the $150 number sounds like a couple of order of magnitudes..
Lisp, Smalltalk, Self, and more. Huge body of research that appears nobody pointed out to authors back when this was written (it's a BSc work if I understand correctly, and supervisor should have pointed literature out...)
I would love to play MtG against a decent—and particularly, scalable—AI.
Not only am I not all that good at the game, I have been burned too many times by bad online play experiences—between people trolling, people at vastly higher levels of play than me, and people who are just rude and mean—to really want to play against real people I don't know most of the time.
But I do like playing. So an AI that could provide a reasonable challenge would be ideal.
Have you played on Arena? I'm struggling to imagine how anyone could meaningfully troll you on that apart from by spamming the 6 pre-canned communications (which you can mute).
don’t be discouraged by the trolls. Do go to local, in person, events (Friday Night Magic) as real life players are among the nicest and most supportive people I’ve seen.
Unfortunately, the closest Friendly Local Game Store is 40 minutes' drive away. I've been to a few events there (prereleases, mostly), and they're OK, but not worth the trip for me.
