asciilifeform: which is why google's thing uses montecarlo method as heavily as nn
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: nn forgets as readily as it learns
asciilifeform: and, unlike google, theirs has none of the secretive derpitude, it plays on kgs, they post progress reports, etc.
asciilifeform: while we're on the subject, who recalls that arsebook also has a go thing?
asciilifeform: (even worked lisp into it. but this was a dead end thing and i guarantee that it is not interesting to anybody today)
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: i did also. and we had a sorta diploma work thesis at the school i went to, and mine was re: feasibility of solving go via neural net...☟︎
