Nope. AlphaZero taught itself to play games like chess, shogi, and Go through self-play, starting from random moves. It was not given any strategies or human gameplay data but was provided with the basic rules of each game to guide its learning process.
I wonder how much consternation there was around reading tea leaves for the next administration and not wanting to end up on the wrong end of DOGE politics.
Bummer. I switched to Affinity (Photo, Designer) this year and am very happy. You can buy a lifetime license across all platforms (iPad, Mac, Windows) for a fixed price. It is great to have high quality software that is not a subscription.
I am not a fan of subscriptions but old versions of Photoshop were also lifetime licenses and a 10y old professional software still works exactly the same now as 10 years ago. Yet I don't see much professional gfx artists and workers claiming they are still using the old licensed software instead of whining about the sub. Is this trolling or are people just slave of the lure of the newest and latest?
I like new useful functionnalities as anyone but if the licensing model change and I don't like it, I am also content with not having them. The key us to not taste/knowing about them. Ignorance is bliss sometimes.
you can usually get away with it by chrooting an old release of a distro that has contemporary libs. And this is rarely needed as you usually have the sourcees available under a free license which allows you to recompike and/or port it.
We are talking photoshop anyway so it isn't relevant in that case.
They sold to Canva, which is strictly subscription based. As far as I know there haven’t been negative changes yet, but we’re still in the period before we’d see them.
Did you see the statement from Canva and Serif after those kinds of rumors started circling? They made a strong statement that they aren't making Affinity apps subscription or dissolving the teams on those apps. It's not the usual silence on post-acquisition plans.
There really isn't a good spiritual successor currently. Someone should clone the UX of WP Admin panel, plugins, etc and drop the worst tech debt. Base it on React and make it really easy to deploy.
There are also the so called "universal CMS", which are headless but with a frontend SDK to achieve the same WYSIWYG, but with a modern frontend framework and deciding exactly what content editors can do. See for example React Bricks.
Q: Is there some way I can force Elon Musk to pay $47 to Cards Against Humanity PAC?
A: Funny you should ask! If you’re a registered voter in PA, GA, NV, AZ, NC, WI, or MI, just type your name into this dumb website for his PAC, put “MuskIsDumb@cah.lol” as your referrer, and they'll be legally obligated to pay us $47. The more people who do this, the more Musk money we’ll get to un-fuck America.
