That doesn't sound like fun. I had allergies last week so I was drinking tea almost every afternoon.Tunnelcat wrote: ↑Tue Apr 04, 2023 7:39 pm No, I don't think you're trying to best me.I'll tell you what. I've been a little bit under the weather for a bit and your post has become a little overwhelming to sift through and think about. Let it sit for a bit and I get back to it when I can think straight and make an analysis. Migraines have a way of messing up my focus, and my day. By the way, I suck at math too.

I'd imagine that next year (2024) it would be able to hold a conversation with its user. It doesn't have to be as good as a human, but just able to ask questions and keep track of what the user wants out of the conversation and try to fulfill each goal. Kids will end up replacing the need for a friend with it. Parents who can't do basic math will gladly let it help their kids do their homework.
I really don't see that.
Better cough up what generation you're from Spidey before you skewer us boomers. I got into the job market right after college and didn't sit on my ass griping about how hard work is. My Gen X brother was a lazy bum, didn't complete high school and was generally a bad seed who never applied himself or held a steady job until he hit the age of 50. Even now he's kind of rudderless in life, other than convincing his dad that he deserves more of dad's estate than his 2 sisters.
Come on TG. Most Boomers are now in old age and losing their mental faculties. Just remember, we all get old and you're headed there too some day in the future. By the way. I can count change.
I didn't skewer the boomers...that was krom, I'm a late boomer myself and I started working at age 10 as a newspaper delivery boys' helper. Hell I had worked 3 or 4 part time jobs before I left high school.Tunnelcat wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2023 5:36 pmBetter cough up what generation you're from Spidey before you skewer us boomers.

The free access which many young people have to romances, novels, and plays has poisoned the mind and corrupted the morals of many a promising youth; and prevented others from improving their minds in useful knowledge. Parents take care to feed their children with wholesome diet; and yet how unconcerned about the provision for the mind, whether they are furnished with salutary food, or with trash, chaff, or poison?
Interestingly, the Bible seems to have the right perspective on this:Isaac wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2023 9:16 pmRelevant quote

Speaking of which, any chance you could give my reply on page 1 another chance?
Let me summarize it then:
In this example you can use your eyes. The idea is one area is defined as a "duck" area. This is how a very simple model works. That part makes sense, right?
I think math isn't intuitive, but the concepts are. So if you can explain a concept then attach the syntax to those concepts, you'd be a good teacher. Sometimes, you can't escape the math to explain a concept, like calculus and derivatives.
First look at these three graphs. Pretend the yellow circles are your ducks:
So, did you change your move set as other players figured out your patterns? Did you adapt new strategies? Even in a 3D movement game, most people still think in 2D patterns when they play.Krom wrote: ↑Sun Apr 23, 2023 7:42 pm You overrate humans a little. In multiplayer games I've done plenty of ass kicking and also received plenty of ass kicking to know that people (myself included) fall into the same or even worse predictable behaviors than AI. We all have a "moveset" we develop and practice that we apply to how we fight battles in multiplayer games (In D3 I almost always circle strafed to the right when attacking for instance).
If you want to see how AI can behave in unique and unpredictable ways, might I suggest watching some of the Tesla self driving video channels on youtube (like DirtyTesla for example). The AI is improving but the better it gets the more bizarre and random the ways it occasionally fails are. Just a few videos of watching "full self driving" in action make the whole experience look incredibly stressful and I'm definitely glad I didn't pay for that package on my vehicle. Not to downplay the incredible accomplishments they have made and how far they have come (just compare recent beta videos to the early beta videos), but it seems the better it gets in general, the more scary the mistakes it does make become.
