Wait, what? What's the point? What is so "patriotic" about that?

[Sheb]

I was looking up 1C on wiki, and:

On the internal Russian market, 1C is considered a leader in business software as well, however game software represents 98% of the 13 tons of software they have been reported as shipping daily.

Russia stronk. Ship software by the tons to power coal-fire computer!

[Sergarr]

Wait, what? What's the point? What is so "patriotic" about that?

Because it's in Russian. Seriously, that's the only reason.

Is it easier to teach Russians programming in Russian? That's the most logical reason I can think of for doing that

Also lol, reminds me of when Putin sent one of your guys into London to do completely 100% super ethical business, when his son Andrei applied for a British passport Putin fired him, because the guy in charge of Russian railways could not control his son from becoming angloboo

hahahahahahaahaaaaa

no no it is not, Russian language is extremely badly suited for programming purposes, no one actually tries to teach 1C as far as I've seen anywhere outside of courses heavily specialized in programming.

Okay looks like I was wrong about genetic algorithms because a recently developed military UCAV AI called ALPHA based around Genetic Fuzzy Trees has won 100% of its battles against expert human pilots, while running on a 35$ cheap laptop. Carp.

What?  I mean, like, maybe if there's encoding problems? But i don't think that's an actual issue. No written langauge is any better for coding than any other, it's a bit ridiculous to claim otherwise.

So now AI doesn't even need a supercomputer to beat fleshminds. In combat, no less. I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

Humans have such completely awful reaction times compared to computers that I'm surprised anyone is surprised that computers are better than them at anything requiring quick reactions at all.

It's actually not about reactions, that ALPHA AI beat the human by using clever positioning. There is a link in the article to the research paper, you can read how it fights, and it's not very dependent on its faster reaction time.

[Max™]

That's goddamn terrifying.

I remember back when I used to play Armored Core all the time on the PS1/PS2, and the way I could feel out certain advantages the different AI opponents had so I could do things like trigger them to drop to the ground and plunk a grenade right on top of them as they did so.

Then you get to Nineball, has all the cheat options on, better turning, better generator, all that jazz, so you really gotta ride around in the spaces defined by what he can't shoot right now, or abuse the parking garage and his tendency to try to fly everywhere, until they corrected that with Ninebreaker.

One of my favorite duels with him in the garage had us both dumping ammo into the pillars to no effect, and wound up coming down to our laser blades, we both started hacking and shooting the energy wave sub-attacks past each other and I was only able to clip him because I was willing to turn completely until I couldn't see him except on radar, and slide sideways/almost backwards long enough to clip his hitbox and trigger a swing while he was still trying to circle strafe, letting me slam my blade into his side.

From the sounds of it, ALPHA could come up with shit like that on it's own, deliberately taking a less optimal stance/approach/position to trigger a response and capitalize on it, which AI has always been shit at in my experience.

For those worried about helium reserves,  they found a whole lot more in Tanazia. It's maybe twice as much helium as the US supplies, which is going to be interesting.

Anyway, people are talking highly about it.

At last, the commercial airship fleet makes sense.

:v AI that can plan and not just react to humans is truly kinda scary.
Apparently the damn thing doesn't even use binary, instead using a variation of fuzzy code, which is language based. If we could adapt the method to use with other, more mundane applications, then we could prob run heavy applications on cheap hardware. The problem would be actualy writing code for it :v

[forsaken1111]

More important question, when can we apply this AI tech to Hearts of Iron 4 to make the AI not suck?

In other words, how far away are commercial/practical applications?
