The Hacker News hive mind is real!

I was just reading about JSD the other day after reading about KL divergence...seems like a nifty measurement device for things like sim-to-real evaluations in robots (the reason I was going down this rabbit hole.)

I think the appeal over raw KL is that JSD behaves a bit nicer when the simulated and real distributions don't perfectly overlap...which is basically always true in the real world!
