Abstract: In this paper, we examine the convergence landscape of multi-agent learning under uncertainty. Specifically, we analyze two stochastic models of regularized learning in continuous games -- one in continuous and one in discrete time with the aim of characterizing the long-run behavior of the induced sequence of play. In stark contrast to deterministic, full-information models of learning (or models with a vanishing learning rate), we show that the resulting dynamics do not converge in general. In lieu of this, we ask instead which actions are played more often in the long run, and by how much. We show that, in strongly monotone games, the dynamics of regularized learning may wander away from equilibrium infinitely often, but they always return to its vicinity in finite time (which we estimate), and their long-run distribution is sharply concentrated around a neighborhood thereof. We quantify the degree of this concentration, and we show that these favorable properties may all break down if the underlying game is not strongly monotone -- underscoring in this way the limits of regularized learning in the presence of persistent randomness and uncertainty.

The worst launch was the first Starship.
It destroyed the launchpad during lift off, a while later went out of control because of engine failures and loss of thrust vector control and as cherry on top the system designed to destroy it (flight termination system) also failed.
This was declared a "success" by SpaceX.

I don't appreciate the people who mock this poor man. Every year there are countless mass sandwichings in schools throughout the country, and we tolerate it because we, as a society, have lost our way. Kids and teachers huddled in their classrooms as mustard and onions fly through the air. WHERE'S YOUR HUMANITY, PEOPLE??

Second Strike Scrutiny Obscures Larger Question About Trump’s Boat Attacks
Congress is focusing on two deaths in one strike. But nine other people died in that same attack, and the United States has killed 87 in all. Were any of those killings legal?
