    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    Tarrant, if you're that easily entertained why don't you save yourself some $$$ and go outside and collect leaves. Because that's the gameplay you're getting excited about. Meanwhile I'm going to blow the shit out of your fortress the second it comes on the map, with or without getting...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    You know what gets me excited? Fun and challenging gameplay. You know what bores me? Non-gameplay collection bullshit just to get +gooder stats in a game I'm otherwise enjoying. And you know they're going to have more relics than a mithril cuirass has rings, because you know they're going to...

    An In-Depth Look At Middle-earth: Shadow Of War's Skill Tree ugh. Put nonsense collectibles in the game if you must, but don't put game-changing abilities behind them.

    He probably isn't wrong. However AI researchers, especially at the academic level, are trying any novel method they can come up with to replace, co-opt, augment and refine back propagation and neural networks.

    I wouldn't worry too much. Improving AI is like improving anything else. Progress gets really logarithmic really quickly. Going from the above system to something that can dynamically learn and take in less direct inputs is really really hard.

    Yes, that's roughly what it does. There's different ways to not only calculate a final result (in this case distance to vehicle in front of us) but additionally calculate the likelihood that our vehicle distance is true. Additionally there are systems that calculate the amount of error from...

    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.

    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.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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...
