infinitepcg,

The problem I’m having is that I don’t exist online when people try to look me up.

Is this referring to job applications or interpersonal relationships or both?

infinitepcg,

I wonder how often someone walks in and tells them about the mistake. Do the baristas have a standard response?

What is the least shit online store of the shitty ones? such as: Wish, AliExpress, etc..

What is the least shitty shit store? Never had a good experience with any of the shops such as, wish, aliexpress and the rest of em. But which one of them is considered the better one, or more likely to actually arrive with the correct item? Is etsy considered better than the rest? Are there any of these “low priced” stores...

infinitepcg, (edited )

I’ve bought a lot of electronic components from AliExpress and 99% of the time I got exactly what I ordered. It just takes a long time.

infinitepcg,

I think these two fields are very closely related and have some overlap. My favorite procgen algorithm, Wavefuncion Collapse, can be described using the framework of machine learning. It has hyperparameters, it has model parameters, it has training data and it does inference. These are all common aspects of modern “AI” techniques.

infinitepcg,

it doesn’t train or self-improve like ML does

I think the training (or fitting) process is comparable to how a support vector machine is trained. It’s not iterative like SGD in deep learning, it’s closer to the traditional machine learning techniques.

But I agree that this is a pretty academic discussion, it doesn’t matter much in practice.

infinitepcg,

I don’t think WFC can be described as an example of a Monte Carlo method.

In a Monte Carlo experiment, you use randomness to approximate a solution, for example to solve an integral where you don’t have a closed form. The more you sample, the more accurate the result.

In WFC, the number of random experiments depends on your map size and is not variable.

infinitepcg,

I’m not an expert on Monte Carlo methods, but reading the Wikipedia article on Markov Chain Monte Carlo, this doesn’t fit what WFC does for the reasons I mentioned above. In MCMC, your get a better result by taking more steps, in WFC, the number of steps is given by the map size, it can’t be changed.
