The entire environment requires only 300 lines of C.

Sentiment
Many users dismissed the six-pendulum cartpole experiment as a useless waste of GPUs and engagement farming, while one noted commodity cloud pricing now enables advanced RL work.

Joseph Suarez 🐡@jsuarez
Want to solve cool problems with RL? Take an afternoon to read our docs (1 page) on http://puffer.ai and build a ~300 line env. It's C but it's really easy C. Extensive guides on my articles tab for learning more from there! All free + OSS, and I review PRs on stream!

behold. THE WORLDS FIRST SIX PENDULUM CARTPOLE SOLVE. Including a sponsor!
To solve this task, I built an environment to train an AI. This is what mechanize does, but for larger AIs. Apply! Salaries are up on their page
Thank you to mechanize for sponsoring!

@airkatakana Seriously? Isn't 4090 the type of the GPU, like Pro 6000?

@fareesh @airkatakana I got it but the way it was written I felt it was genuine doubt

@airkatakana I’m so glad balancing 7 pendulums is the groundbreaking problem being focused on…
I do not participate in society either!
