Obviously. It's just machine learning implemented algorithms using neural nets. For a different problem, you'd use a slightly different architecture and a different training set. They merely chose Go because it is an EXPTIME-complete problem with a huge game tree (way bigger than that of chess...

Sensors around the edges? Come on, Seth. Those are IR LED's, whose light is captured by the same camer which tracks the headset's position.

Actually, the Corsair Obsidian 350D isn't good at all since it won't even fit the 165 mm cooler I mentioned in the original post. If anyone else has suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

Hi, Regardless of price, I'm trying to find a mini tower mATX case with the following features: ■ Good airflow with top and side vents. ■ PSU goes at the bottom of the case. ■ Can hold CPU coolers at least 165 mm tall. ■ Uses sound dampening material. I'd appreciate any suggestions...

Hi, I need to install an internal floppy disk drive on a system with an ASUS MAXIMUS VI GENE motherboard, which does not seem to have a floppy drive connector. What would you recommend? Are there SATA FDD's out there for such situations or do I need some sort of adapter? Which brand would you...

Hi, While water cooling used to be a real hassle, things have started improving a few years ago. I suggest that you look into the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme (P/N: CLW0217). While it is not the cheapest water cooler, it's not the most expensive either (around $150 on Amazon) and it has some...

Thanks. The Corsair AX760i, found on the list from your second link, seems perfect for my needs.

Hi, I want to purchase an 80 PLUS Platinum-certified PSU somewhere around 550W-850W, yet I seem to be having bad luck. Every time I settle on one, it turns out I can't purchase it anywhere, even if it is not marked as discontinued on its vendor's Web site. A couple of examples: Cooler Master...

You can't get more than 32 GiB on a Haswell-based system, unfortunately. I would have liked an OCZ RevoDrive 3 X2, which is an amazingly fast PCIe-based SSD (esp. the 960 GiB version). Not only is it faster than a RAM disk (when used as a cache for NV storage, as you say), but also safer in the...

Well, it depends on what it is you need to develop. I've never required as much RAM for any of my personal projects before. Regarding rendering, CrossFireX is one of the reasons I've picked that motherboard.

The system would mostly be used for development purposes. However, I expect I won't resist trying some of the newer games at some point---I'm really behind with my gaming. I need a pretty large amount of memory for certain large-scale simulations, amongst other things. On the other hand, I am...

Hi, I'm getting ready to build a new system. If anyone has any suggestions on how I could improve its performance without spending (too much) extra money, I'd like to hear them. Case: Antec P280 Window Mobo: ASRock Z87 Extreme6/ac PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro Platinum (550W) CPU: Intel Core...
