Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Brax vs TDS for differentiable rigid body dynamics
I need differentiable rigid body dynamics because I want to do nonlinear MPC. One library that can do this is C++ is Tiny Differentiable Simulator https://github.com/erwincoumans/tiny-differentiable-simulator. As I understand it, this software uses a C++ auto-diff library and code generation to create CUDA kernels to compute fast derivatives in parallel. This seems pretty fast because it's C++. Another option is Brax https://github.com/google/brax. Brax uses JAX which I've never used, but from what I've seen online, JAX is popular for researchers and probably very good.

Deep learning for robotics
I am doing a MSc on robotics with a focus on machine learning, especially attention based architectures. There is a lot simulation and reinforcement learning going on. I have a funding of ~2500$ for the hardware system (no flexibility here, cannot use it for cloud either). I used pcpartpicker.com to select compatible components, as shown below. I am not located in the western part of the world; which means I have difficulty accessing some components and prices are higher here than that of pcpartpicker.com. That is why I am aiming towards 2000 - 2200$ range in the pcpartpicker.com. - Overall, what do you think of my planned setup? - Since there is a lot of simulation planned including rigid body dynamics with contact (libraries like https://github.com/raisimTech/raisimLib, https://github.com/deepmind/mujoco), I need some powerful CPU to use these libraries. I know that Intel has MKL over AMD; however, I am not sure how relevant that is for my case. The robotics simulators are generally written with C++, uses Eigen or their own math libraries. I feel like there is a lot of linear algebra involved and Intel combined with MKL should give me less headache. I have chosen i9-12900K, but what about AMD Ryzen9 5950X for example? - There is a new generation of rigid body simulators which use GPU instead of CPU (https://github.com/google/brax, https://developer.nvidia.com/isaac-gym). I do not think they are as mature as the previously mentioned simulators. Perhaps I am mistaken. Shall I focus on them instead? In terms of hardware that means I can downgrade the CPU to Ryzen5, and upgrade to RTX3080, roughly. - Do you think this system is easy to upgrade in future? What can I change to make it easier for long-term use and upgrades? Thanks for any help!

Any tutorial on how to create RL C++ environments?
If you want raw speed, parallel execution on GPU or TPU is best. Checkout out our Brax simulator, which uses the XLA compiler and JAX Python frontend: https://github.com/google/brax

Best environment to train RL agents
Check out Brax, hardware accelerated RL training in a Google Jupyter Colab. It trains typical RL tasks in minutes on TPU, also on GPU or CPU. And it is free, you can train with just a browser: https://github.com/google/brax

[N] Mujoco is free for everyone until October 31 2021
Anyone made any progress with Brax? That was sold as a massively-parallel Mujoco alternative but not sure if anyone's actually using it yet.

What projects or open-source contributions can impress Jane Street recruiters for a Quant SWE role ?
Deep mind actually has a repository where they applied this algorithm for incomplete-knowledge games. You could use it for reference: https://github.com/deepmind/open_spiel/tree/master/open_spiel/python/algorithms

I want to build a learning agent for a combinatorial game
+1. You can also find an implementation of Clobber and AlphaZero (and many other basic RL algorithms) in OpenSpiel: https://github.com/deepmind/open_spiel

minimax for imperfect-information turn-games?
You can find a lot of code online if you look, and many of these applied to Poker. There's a general implementation of both in Python and C++ in OpenSpiel, with some examples applied to small poker games. It's nice code to learn from because the algorithms operate over generic game descriptions, so there aren't game-specific design choices mixed up with the implementation of the algorithms, and you can create your own poker game and just run them on it.

What's a good OpenAI Gym Environment for applying centralized multi-agent learning using expected SARSA with tile coding?
I would checkout the openspiel package. It's main focus is RL in games (multi-agent environments). You'll find RL examples there and games that are small enough to solve without deep RL. There's also a wide range of environments from fully cooperative to adversarial zero-sum.

How to deal with situations where the RL agent cannot act at every time step?
I've had some success using Action Masking - you can refer to here https://github.com/deepmind/open_spiel/blob/120420a74a69354d64c10b51cd129d4587f9f325/open_spiel/python/algorithms/dqn.py but for DQN you need to mask out q values for invalid actions (as well as masking them during prediction). In my case I'm able to place my mask in the observation so can fetch it quite easily during prediction but if that's not possible you could query it from the environment and store it in the replay buffer (like they do in the link I shared)
