Elon Musk's 'Dota 2' Experiment is Disrupting Esports

It's not an apples to apples competition. The bot is cheating because it has perfect knowledge; it can look bounding spheres and exact positions, maybe even knows the enemy cooldowns, etc. Basically it's using an aimbot that can always react faster than a human.

What they need to do is require the bot use vision, either only give it access to the frame buffer, or better yet require it to use a camera pointed at the screen. (some day I'd require it to use a mouse and keyboard)

FizzBuzz : A simple test when hiring programmers/coders

Magicpants says...

It's such a simple problem there is no "best" answer. But it would be very effective at weeding out people who know nothing about coding.

It's really not a question about optimization as writing things out to the console will probably be your biggest bottleneck (literally 10,000 times slower than the rest of the loop).

Where my computer programmers/coders at?

Also does this question actually ever get asked and if so don't coders know it might be coming and are prepared to give a perceived best answer?

And the Thirteen Doctor Is...

Magicpants says...

I feel I'm alone in that I'd really like to see a female doctor, but I think Jodie Whittaker is completely wrong for the role. Simply put she's too meek, too serious, and too normal looking. I was really hoping for Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

What If Only 100 People Existed on Earth?

Magicpants says...

Interesting, though flawed in its premise. I find it hard to believe anyone could speak 137 languages. (7,000 languages / 51 people).

They really ought to admit they are talking about percentages.

Racist is what you do, not what you say.

Magicpants says...

Would have been a lot more effective if they'd shown the converse as well (someone who is PC doing something racist).
