SniperWoreConverse posted:Someone tried to train an AI to play NES games and it came to the conclusion that it could slam down tetris pieces like a mad bastard to ramp the score up really high really quick, until getting into an unwinnable situation. In that case, instead of relearning how to be better at placing pieces for a longer term strategy, just pause the game. The nerd running this thing just ended up with a bunch of emulators that had tetris paused 1 frame before game over. sounds like the stock market. can an AI run the fed?

My favorite weird evolutionary algorithm story was the one run on an FPGA (basically a reprogrammable circuit) that would try to optimize the internal logic to solve a very simple problem - I think it was output a 1 if given one tone, and a 0 if given another tone. After a while it was getting it done perfectly, so the researchers looked at what it made and... it made no sense. There were parts connected to nothing, other parts that were connected but didn't seem to do anything, and they couldn't figure out how it worked. They tried deleting the parts connected to nothing, and it stopped working. They then tried to copy it into a different FPGA, and it didn't work there at all. The algorithm made a design that worked perfectly only on that specific chip, due to the peculiarities of the chip itself.

Internally it's made of a bunch of identical logic units that can be set up in different configurations and wired together however you want. The more advanced ones can basically be "programmed" into an entire CPU if you wanted to, they're pretty neat.

I was just reminded of a fantastic piece of capitalism. In central Copenhagen, shops in side street at some point figured out that having signs pointing down the street would be a good idea. However, the rent cost of putting up a sign was too much. Solution: hire a guy to stand around with the sign! It's a public street, and you're allowed to loiter after all. Somehow, this is the optimum solution: to hire a guy to hold a sign instead of just having the sign stand on its own.

we have that in the US too but in some states/municipalities you’re not allowed to stand still so you have to keep twirling and flipping the sign or it’s a violation (to the individual not the business)

It's kinda charming that "guy standing still with a sign" is capitalism run amok to you eurogoons when I can drive down the street right now and see like 5-10 people standing out in the rain actively moving their signs for fear of the boss seeing them and firing them for standing still. Some of them are probably also wearing mascot suits, because gently caress you. Being America, we made a sport out of it for some loving reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2iHCUlHbXg

the way they explained it was that standing still with a sign would qualify as a billboard under new castle law and you need permits for that which would lead to a $75 fine. I could buy it but it’s just as likely to be a stupid boss trick

Even if it is the law you would still need the legal system to care and for the most part cops and prosecutors don’t care about enforcing the law against businesses. Maybe if it was a pot store or something they wanted to harass I guess I’m also leaning towards bullshit the boss tells his staff to make them work a certain way

I seriously doubt it's really a law but I'm sure their bosses told them it is. Sounds too much like the "we have to pour bleach on the food we throw out so the people digging it out of the trash don't sue us" type story. I see sign less people loitering motionless for hours without getting hauled off next to police while a guy next to them is doing some sign spinning routine.

I thought maybe I should just google it and instead found this bizarre-rear end article from the orlando sentinelquote:There are formal, registered businesses like GotchaWorks. It has about two dozen spinners, pays them about between $17 and $20 an hour and caters to large clients like home-builders and car dealerships. Uh okay Byam, sure Anyway I'm not finding anything about standing still being illegal, though I'm finding plenty of places that have banned moving with the sign because it's too darn distracting!!!! so idk.

quote:Yes, it is legal in most places around Central Florida. And since it moves product, sign spinning will probably be around as long as billboards and pop-up ads and radio jingles. Yes, sign spinning is legal. In fact, the world will end with a trumpet blast. When you get married! Haha, wives am I right guys? Anyway there's a wiki article about it that doesn't mention poo poo about it being illegal to stand still so I'mma call bullshit on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_billboard

The reason they started paying people to hold signs like FURNITURE STORE CLOSING UP TO 80% OFF is because they weren't allowed to just post the signs by the street. You can't just put up a sign whatever you want but people can generally stand around holding things without violating any specific statute

You can't just put up a sign whatever you want but people can generally stand around holding things without violating any specific statute I don't think anyone was questioning that, though the wiki article seems to imply it's more complicated than that. And in my experience, a lot of the companies doing it have the people standing on their own lots, often next to their existing sign, which would be a weird choice if that were the reason.
