AlphaZero.jl VS yadm

Could using something like AlphaZero.jl make it more efficient?

As a researcher in machine learning, I wanted to explore applications of Deepmind’s AlphaZero algorithm beyond board games (such as in automated theorem proving or chemical synthesis).

However, I noticed that existing open-source implementations of AlphaZero mostly consisted in complex C++ codebases that are highly specialized for specific games (eg. Leela Zero and LC0). Accessible Python implementations could be found but they were usually too slow to do anything useful on limited computing power.

Seeing this, I built AlphaZero.jl: https://github.com/jonathan-laurent/AlphaZero.jl

AlphaZero.jl is written in Julia and it is consistently one to two orders of magnitude faster than competing Python alternatives, while being equally simple and flexible. I just released a new version a few days ago with many new features (support for distributed computing, support for arbitrary MDPs...).

If you are a student, a researcher or a hacker curious about AlphaZero, please consider having a look!

Everyone hand-rolls their own dotfile management system, but YADM already does everything you need:

https://yadm.io/

I've been working around this using tools built on top of git like [yadm](https://github.com/TheLocehiliosan/yadm) and relying on `ls-files` to list all my tracked dotfiles and their paths.

Still having everything in one place would make things much simpler. Great idea!

I wonder if the program i use to manage my dotfiles could help manage your scripts and extend your setup to all your desktops? Its called yadm (https://yadm.io/) it makes it so easy to have a laptop and a desktop or two.

I really like that one but still prefer yadm because you can just edit your files as usual and then yadm add them wherever you are.

If you haven’t already, this is the time to install a tool like yadm and get your computer configuration into version control. Your command-line tools can be managed by yadm directly, your system settings can mostly be managed with a yadm bootstrap script that runs things like defaults write, and the software you install can be managed with a Brewfile that the yadm bootstrap script uses to install software with Homebrew. Don’t manually download Xcode, use xcodes to do it.

I personally use YADM. It's basically a git repo on my home folder, that only tracks what I explicitly set. And you can setup bootstraps to do what you said, install a bunch of stuff or make custom changes. In it's essence, it's a set of bash/sh files that are executed sequentially when you launch the yadm bootstrap command.
