Oh, and to balance out the fact that my shoulder pain is (probably) due to a chronic issue regarding my posture that'll take months to fix, I'm pretty sure I resolved a knee issue via one session of intense ball rolling of a tennis ball to my hip flexor and abductors. It was literally causing me...

So during yesterday's workout I captured video of myself doing two lifts (deadlift and bent over row), just to check my form. Like a lot of nerds I have rounded shoulders which I'm pretty sure is a big cause of my shoulder pain and just a problem in general I'm trying very hard to correct via...

Yes.

@Sulrn I hope they have a Flint DLC where I can go become lord of the shit-bird rednecks and collect all the remaining fresh-water in the city. It'd be Fallout in Tolkein's universe.

Tell your friends and family in Flint to move away from Flint regardless of the water. Detroit is coming back, Flint is a shit-hole and will always be a shit hole.

Michigan's massive amounts of fresh water is one of its greatest assets...

Cool. I'll be playing at release on Bristlebane.

I'm still in Michigan!

I'm a little worn out on LotR too, but I found the lore/environment of the first game was enjoyable because it was so centered in a desolate shit-hole that is mordor rather than all the generic fantasy environments Tolkein's universe has. In other words, for every game where you spend your time...

Thanks, just used this voucher. BRB: going to buy some Mass Effect Andromeda loot platinum crates and extra time on candy crush.

I really, really hope there is a way to know when you obliterate a MTX orc.

Tarrant, I've always had an advantage over leaf collectors, this game changes nothing. Like hell if I'm going to stop crying about developers asking me to collect leaves. The 10 things I collected in SoM before realizing it was boring was bad enough.

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...

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.

psyched for workout tonight's workout go drinking with buddies come home, start workout anyway need to vomit after one set post on foh

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.

OK. I'm also looking at getting: https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Supple-Leopard-2nd-Performance/dp/1628600837 To embrace my inner furry.

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...

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.

BTC almost got to $5000 this week. Don't we all feel dumb!

plz take navel gazing discussion about robots to: Artificial Intelligence and the Technological Singularity I've officially declared this thread for the important topic of near-term autonomous systems, not long-term shit that'll probably never happen.

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...

Nice work! At level 99 about how many hours does a death set you back?

This thread was pretty instructive: will pissing on my hands toughen them up?.

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.

One more month boys. I don't care about the noise, I'm ready for this.

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.

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...

Good point.

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.

Can you still only get super weapons from paying $$$$? I quit once I realized they nerfed it so you couldn't find top tier gear from exploring.

IDC about nerds getting uppity by checking their privilege in a game, but I don't trust ubisoft to make a game that is consistently funny like stick of truth.
