    Autonomous Systems

    Your understanding of them in a general sense probably isn't far off, but estimation, prediction, extrapolation etc is all basic stuff. See: Stochastic - Wikipedia What I think you're asking is whether we have AI that can take generalized input and not just figure out how to process it, but...

    Extrapolation from imperfect information is fundamentally every estimation and prediction process ever, including say, your cruise control system.

    I'm looking to buy a book for a deeper dive on bro science, any thoughts on: 5/3/1 Forever I was looking at Starting Strength, but it seems to focus on barbell exercises that I don't have. Not sure if 531 is really different in that respect.

    Buncha nerfs coming: Test Update 09/12/2017 - Patch Notes and Discussion | EverQuest Forums Nothing too surprising or bad. Shamans got it the worst IMO with the nerf to paralytic spray and roar of the lion. The tank nerfs are well deserved, but SKs somehow escaped without their AE aggro getting...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    Now that I'm using weights again im reminded how soft my programmer/ gamer hands are. Doing deadlifts with even 60lbs dumbells put imprints in my hands. Theyll callous up over time, but i couldnt find any strats on how to speed up the process other than farmer walks and not bring a bitch.

    Yeah eok doubled xp gain. I have no insight as to what the next expansion will be. My guess is they are going to flesh out kunark. Actually i remember someone saying that there are a bunch of unused kunark zone assets, so thats a good guess.

    Good point. And a service that had complex and high functioning sex-bots would be much better equipped to handle and configure them properly.

    I think I had a dream last night inspired by this post. Also: House passes bill paving the way for driverless cars It'll be good if the Senate passes (and Trump signs) while the US public has a (naively) high opinion of driverless cars. Better than congress knee-jerking into legislation after...

    I've been out of the game for about a month now and I'm pretty sure I'll be completely lost when I log back in a few weeks before the expansion. Shit is just so complex.

    Autonomous Systems

    I actually think this is a real possibility. If you look at robots and AI there's a few classes of them that have enough finance to be complex enough to be dangerous: 1. Goofy military simulationAI 2. Military defense robots 3. Autonomous vehicles 4. Sex bots (purchased by wealthy people). #4...

    Happy 9/11 day.

    Anyone else notice a marked decrease in media coverage of 9/11 relative to last year? It might just be due to there being no election season going on for politicians to virtue signal about, but I feel like patriotism is down overall in the media since Trump was elected.

    Yeah coming back to PoE from playing last in 2013 or whenever, the trading of the game is so easy and I haven't run into any issues participating in the market place, where as last time I literally quit because of how difficult it was to use the market.

    I'm glad to hear that uber lab is still a good money maker, because I really enjoy the dozen or so lab runs I've done. I've only done Uber lab once where I got carried through it, but feel pretty hesitant to run it even with a character that has the gear/levels to do it just because I'm worried...

    Good to know, I've heard a lot about currency bots, specifically bots that are making false listings and then trying to buy people that are truly selling at those listings.

    D3 was worse because even though the timing margins were on the order of a second or two instead of a minute, the purchase and reselling of goods was completely automated. In PoE I don't know that any bots exist that will join a person's group, trade them the currency for the item, then relist...

    That's what I think my conclusion will be, especially since I generally hate playing trader in every game. Sure! That's basically what I've been shopping for.

    Path of Exile

    For expensive stuff I feel like it depends on the prevalence of people who sell things by listing things way beyond what they think will work, then slowly ramping down the cost in 5-10% increments vs people who throw underpriced stuff in their stash. Ex: I'm in the market for a nice physical...

    Thanks for the protip. I looked into that, the price differential was much higher. I still feel pretty dumb leveling my frost blades raider with a pretty minimal gem-set because I didn't think it was feasible to craft 4L items.

    I feel like Monolith's decisions re: DLCs doesn't get closely reviewed by WB's legal A-team.
