Scruffpuff posted:Sounds great until you factor in that there will need to be a check after every player action checking whether or not the code guessed correctly, and if it didn't, it will have to recalculate to compensate for the move the player actually made, which is even loving slower than just doing what the player is doing. It sounds like expanding on what processors already do, it's called branch prediction. Basically say you've got a list of numbers between 1 and 100 and you're running a loop which has a condition in it that say if it's <50 do A or >= 50 do B. If your list of numbers are sorted 1 to 100 it will run faster than if your loop is unsorted due to the processor predicting what the outcome of the condition will be based on previous results. Here's one you can run in a browser https://jsperf.com/sorted-loop/2 It's trivial to write one in Java or C which will show the same thing. Doing this level of prediction is obviously much more complex in something like a game vs a basic loop but the idea is the same. So not as far fetched as it sounds.

Scruffpuff posted:It works for sorting, or financial predictions, or probability calculations, or random simulations - this is true. But they're claiming this can be used to predict player actions in a video game. Think of the infinite number of actions you can perform in even a relatively simple game. How much computational power will it take a machine to predict every possible player outcome, or even every likely outcome, or poo poo even a single random outcome, in a game like Red Dead Redemption 2? Thank god their tech predicted I would pull out my pistol on a whim, try to shoot a water bucket and miss, hop on a nearby horse and knock myself out on a lowhanging branch because I fumbled the controller swatting at a fly. You can really feel that half-frame the predictive algorithm saved us from having to render. You're getting caught up in the word prediction, usually prediction just means it assumes what you were just doing you're going to continue doing. It's not going to guess you're about to turn right, but if you're walking straight down a corridor and have been for the last 20ms then probably going to be doing so for the next 20ms. In the end it's just latency mitigation and I can't see it working over more than maybe 10's of milliseconds for latency mitigation. I think it could work but seems tremendously difficult for such a minor gain.

Sanya Juutilainen posted:Basically this, yes. A machine that will be able to predict a player in a complex game will be a player by itself. Heck, I believe that to be able to predict moves in chess you have to be on level of neural engines like AlphaZero or Leela (and they'd have to be slightly modified to work with predictions) - classical engines like Stockfish won't be able to do that. Except it's not trying to predict decision points, it's trying to predict non-decision. Imagine right now you're playing a game, running down a corridor and you hit a lag spike, generally what happens is you freeze then jump forwards then continue. All this has to do is when you hit the lag spike predict that yeah you are going to continue down the corridor. If it gets it right then you don't notice the difference, if it gets it wrong you stutter and jump to the right place just like before. So then you have to think about that the probabilities of getting it right, probably pretty good for times <500 ms.

Nicholas posted:A game that starts feeling laggy as poo poo as soon as you do anything besides walk straight down a hallway. I think the idea is that it will be no more laggy than normal and might be better. The infinite variations thing is just not that realistic though is it, I mean you might flail around completely unpredictably every couple of milliseconds but are you really going to do that? nope.

Bofast posted:While it will no doubt be a bit of an economic shock and a rough time for quite a while, I'm not sure how exactly a no deal Brexit would directly cause people to die. From what, stress related heart attacks? That seems a bit alarmist. We're going to run out of drugs, specifically things like insulin. We're already running short because of trade uncertainty and in the event of a no deal there would be no structure in place to allow imports. With food bank usage already at a high we're heading into a recession, we're already in one officially, which would only be exasperated by a no deal. There are plenty of people who are eating every other day because that's all they can afford. Making that worse will cause serious damage to the health of the poorest in society.

Is the free fly even still on? I've got a few days off work to waste. I assume the game will be so good I should lock my credit card in the safe before I boot it up. The last time I tried Star Citizen it glitched me into the cold uncaring vacuum of space but I assume that won't happen this time.

So I updated my Star Citizen and gave it a ahot, it's much much worse than you can imagine. I forst went into Star Marine to see what that was about, it's a disaster, laggy as gently caress despite having a ping in the low 20's. It feels like you're running through treacle, grenades don't work, you frequently come across guns floating in mid air. The person who won our round had a ping of over 300 which seemed to render him invulnerable. Went into Star Citizen proper and woke up in Arc Corp, you might think i've getting out the the lift warily, that's because that's my 4th attempt to get out of the lift on the right floor, every other time was wrong. There's no way to know which floor your're on. https://i.imgur.com/bg6drGq.mp4 Has sound and this reflects my whole time in the game, sound cuts in and out, playing seemingly random audio clips all the time. Lots of things just popping into existence. After about 10 mins I worked out how to get the tram to the hangers and got in my ship, but then couldn't work out how to open the hanger doors https://i.imgur.com/jSoq6JR.mp4 time to stop.

BitBasher posted:Isn't this incredibly low, even as fiction? I mean a real carrier has a crew of like 6,000 all in and the Bengal is about the same size? Kinda depends on who you count as crew. A Nimitz class is around 6000 like you say including aircrew. The Gerald Ford class which followed it is listed at 2600. The RN Prince of Wales class operates with a crew of 679 going up to 1600 with aircrews etc. I could accept a crew of 500 or so in the far future, excluding aircrews.

BitBasher posted:From what I can see the two carriers aren't remotely comparable? The prince of Wales is an STOVL carrier, it has no catapults and can operate only Short/Vertical take off craft and can only recover planes the same way, as it has no cable arrest landing system. It also can carry only half the fixed wing aircraft. In short, it's kind of a dramatically inferior carrier compared to the Gerald R Ford. And neither is comparable to a space going capital ship? They're all enormous ships which can run on relatively small crews thanks to automated processes. You'd have to assume a spaceship would be even more automated. The Nimitz figure includes aircrew which inflates the number a lot over the actual ship's crew. Except for the Crobbers obsession with WW2 and each turret is manually crewed for some insane reason.

Thinking about ship crews made me remember that in Eve Online all the ships have crews. You the pilot are an immortal effectively but your crew are just dudes who all die when your ship blows up.

I was looking at the spec chart someone made on the reddit and it looks like my 1060 GTX that runs everything I have at max including ED in VR is going to get ~10 fps in a city in Star Citizen? What the christ have they done? A 3060 RTX which costs about 2 grand will get you upto 30 fps? It doesn't even look that good.

I think the hiding from bounty hunters thing does give you a glimpse into the mind of Citizens. Hiding is not a goal by itself, you log into the game to do something not just hide at a river from someone who may or may not be looking for you. They're essentially going to be playing hide and seek solo, where they just hide and no one bothers looking for them. If you're a criminal you should be logging in to do crime and bounty hunters try to stop you doing the crime.

BattleMaster posted:It's a cool ship but there's nothing realistic about it so I can't imagine why NASA who makes actual spacecraft would think it could be any use to them. For instance there's essentially no room for fuel and no way to dissipate heat and whatever makes the power for it has to be incredibly compact and not put out any radiation. Theres a strong tradition of scifi writers writing things and then engineers being inspired to make it a reality.
