    Here's the ability in action: ArcheAge [JP] PvP Daggerspell - YouTube What's interesting is that the set says, "Has a low chance of triggering X" rather than what I've seen quoted from Korea/Alpha: Obviously triggering the apocalypse every 40 casts is fun, but if you can't hop into a group...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    What Dumar says is somewhat correct. Software is such amorphous field that process management can be incredibly difficult and it's very common for projects to have a budget that encapsulates only a subset of the work needed to release a useful product. Plus you'll always have fuck ups or people...

    Yeah, this is a huge issue for robotics. Existing chemistry using zinc/manganese dioxide, nickel-metal hydride or lithium-ion will probably never get us there. If you look at the pace of technology in the last 20 years nearly everything is making exponential gains except for batteries. We hear...

    Haha, you missed the entire point of my post. I didn't think you would. Lurking, I saw this a few months ago, it's a pretty neat hobbyist robot. Food prep robotics will be a huge field in the future, but I feel like bartenders will be the most resilient to being replaced by robotics...

    Also I don't know why you keep shitting on the Bartender-bot. You think it's easy to mix drinks and converse with drunks simultaneously?

    The two times Turing has been mentioned in this thread: With that reading comprehension I don't know if you could pass Turing.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Ah, are you saying that a position tracking model doesn't need to run at discrete units in time ex, update every millisecond, but can instead be run from an arbitrary starting point to an arbitrary endpoint with a complete equation? If so then yeah, I agree. Some of my vehicle modeling code...

    No we're here for the indefinite future. Still have 90 people online every night, though some of those are AFKing for that labor. If you have any questions about what it's like to start out and play AA currently feel free to ask. Let me know if you want to play!

    Anthalon was just killed by Legacy. People are saying it was killed on Salphira and Tahyang already, but I didn't see proof of it.

    Serious question: What enjoyment is there to be had programming in assembly? It's obviously challenging, but do you ever get proficient enough or have a good enough library built up that you can just sit down and produce content without being mired in all the tediousness of it?

    Yep. And those security vulnerabilities are largely caused by convenience or OBD systems which are only going to become more prevalent along with driver assistance.

    I can see the nerd-team finally turn it on and sit on the edge of their seat waiting to see what experiences it will enjoy, then it just takes a nap and never wakes up. "Dr. White, is it dead?" "No. It just really likes its nap."

    What if you create a process that can choose to do whatever it wants, but it just wants to nap?

    Haha a_skeleton_03 is still recruiting Bill Gates unknowingly into his awful argument. Bill Gates says, "I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence" and a_skeleton_03 reads, "AI cannot be reasoned with!"

    Bill Gates Says AI Will Be As Dangerous as Nukes

    What's funny is that we expose control of our robots via web interfaces, and before we lock everything down with encryption/verification etc it's trivial to hack and disable our robots. For commercial systems it'll definitely be possible and they'll have to spend a great deal of effort to ensure...

    I know you're being a smarmy cunt to feed off drama, but I'll answer it genuinely just because it's a fun question. It's very difficult answer and it's really hard to nail down what threshold we have for "true AI". People have very well thought answers for that now, but I feel as we continue...

    This isn't even a 'anything is possible' thing. There's real work being done on machine intelligence that perceives and responds to human emotion. That field is going to play a massive role in the future of real AI.

    I totally disagree with this. The MMO market in the last ten years has made advances to every facet of gameplay, but it's missing a lot of what made the core of MMOs so enjoyable: A persistent world you need to be in a community to beat. Almost all the top memories I have, and I wager everyone...

    Oh that's right, it was cloning. You can't clone something with a soul! a_skeleton_03, I think you're making a false distinction between inputs you feel are based in reason and inputs that aren't. You're assuming a lot about how AI in the future are required to work and the inputs to it that...

    Bill Gates Says AI Will Be As Dangerous as Nukes

    I just thought of something, are you under the assumption that only beings with souls can experience and sense emotion? This sounds familiar, wasn't there some other laughable action you assumed that only beings with souls could partake in?

    I think my BartenderBot that gives a free double upgrade to someone who is emotionally distraught and clearly needs a stiff drink is both reasonable and antithetical to your assumptions. On the contrary to Mist's initial argument you disagreed with, if the bartender was religious zealout ex...

    Bill Gates Says AI Will Be As Dangerous as Nukes

    Not trolling at all. The experience to sense and experience emotion is a critical component to AI and there is a lot of research currently in developing AI with that in mind. a_skeleton_03 believes that AI cannot be convinced of anything because it is impossible for an AI to be created that can...

    How much skyrim hype was there in console communities before the release of skyrim? How much ESO hype is there in console communities now?

    It's very unlikely ESO will be a commercial success on consoles. I doubt they'll even break even.

    Unless that elucidates strategies on how to make appeals of emotion to bartender-bots or focuses on topics of my research focus of robotic intelligence for mobile robot perception and planning I'm not interested.

    Nobody is getting infracted for being small minded. But when we go out to get drinks 40 years from now and I convince the bartender-bot to make my drink a double by emotionally describing my troubles in leading you through complex topics, don't be jelly.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Yeah, but in my case I shit so much into my unit test library that it goes way past integration tests into full blown optimization suites. I mean we're talking about starting with testing the inputs and outputs of a triangle class and ending up with a resilient back propagation algorithm to tune...

    Yeah it was fluid, but only fluid because the group mechanics weren't cohesive. Everyone was a mix of DPS, heals, CC and mitigation. So you could pair 5 people together and they'd function well. The downside of this was that you weren't really grouping or interacting with each other at a...

    You misinterpreted the very word you just defined so I won't really bother addressing what you said, instead I'll present my stance like you asked: It's impossible to know the nature of how a given AI will reason or be susceptible to arguments. Making statements like 'it's impossible to...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Yeah it's easy to slip into conflating unit with automated. I know I've done this in the past where I'll create a 'unit test library' that are true unit-level tests. Then I'll keep adding more and more stuff to it until it's got things that replay datasets collected from onboard sensors and run...

    Back to forced grouping in a game like Crowfall, my thought is this: I don't think the optimal path should be for players to farm mobs because it's boring and repetitive. Sure they can farm mobs, but once they get situated they should have more dynamic and PVP related ways to farm. For a...
