Wow, just wow. I love your comment and fully agree with what you say based on what I know as a software dev with a deep background in math and cumputer vision (my master's thesis was on facial recognition). The thing is that you explain incredibly well. And I had to say that this point you make is specially interesting and is making me think a lot:
"We cannot mathematically prove yet *why* this is the case, but this was practically seen to be the case. I personally suspect that natural language has some deep underlying structure that we cannot see yet, but informs both the AI's ability to learn\*, *and* our ability as humans to learn."
There's this game that's actually really short, around two hours gameplay, but in that time they manage to absorve you into a world that after a few years I still remember fondly. The experience is really unique, just like the gameplay.
I am actually surprised it is not already mentioned.
Not in costco, but it happened to me with lidl in europe.
Went with my wife and kids to get icecream a hot summer day, and we came back with a swimming pool, one of those you have to kinda build. Not big enough to swim but big enough for a bunch of people without being crowded and sit covered by water entirely.
Long story short, we cannot have such pool on our shitty uneven ground in the yard. At least we bought it with 50% discount so whatever.
Thank you! This is great, I was only in the now deceased fearnopeer and once that was gone I managed to get inside seedpool, but it's better to have some more options
I haven't seen the video and probably won't. With that said…
Define intelligence first. Is it having knowledge on many topics? Is it problem solving? is it a mensa result? By moving the goal post you can prove whatever.
I am not from the states so my cultural context might make me think differently in this aspect. I have met many religious people over my life. And as a convinced atheist I have also had many friendly discussions on the topic with them. Some of those people were what I'd consider really intelligent. Religion has as much to do with your cultural context as it does with intelligence and some people continue believing in their religion without really thinking too much of it, not for lack of intelligence, but out of habit.
What I want to say with all of this is that, as with many of these studies, it doesn't really mean much more than at best some probability correlation. Which at a personal level won't mean anything. You might be an atheist and not be… very bright. Or be very intelligent and still religious. Just like I have met people with scientific background and high level studies belive in homeopathy.
Do not make the mistake of thinking an atheist is automatically smarter than a religious person. It is not that simple and this video seems to want to imply something like this. And like others have said, this is most likely a correlation. However we measure intelligence, it will be more likely that those on the lower scale are more often controlled by organized religion. It is not a great discovery really. I would really like to have a look at those studies actually out of curiosity.
I actually dug out my psp a couple years ago but couldn't find the battery. I did have the wire to plug it at least but I haven't managed to use it only with that. Is it known if the battery needs to be inside to get it to start? Should it work without the battery but plugged in? Before I buy a replacement I want to know if it is actually dead.
Well the way I put it is too optimistic in a way, easy to do now knowing how things have ended. Back in the day there were a lot of open questions and indeed periods of down time with the services. Also long periods of time when no one knew if the next android or ios update would break something… or worse, completely break the app without a way to get it working again. So your perception at the time was probably correct.
It actually never left :) the acquisition wasn't to remove competition, pebble as a company just grew too fast and didn't manage to survive well. I think Migickovski has been really open about the mistakes they made and where they think they failed. The acquisition by fitbit was mostly to save the leftovers and allowed to save all that was done for the community and allow the devices to keep working. Fitbit was quite nice towards the pebble community, and then google came to buy fitbit. And even that didn't end up being an issue. They even open sourced what they bought for the community to use.
You can also look into Rebble, which is the effort done by the community to keep all devices running even after all these years. So overall, the devices were still alive, and that was thanks to a lot of people. Thanks to that now the new release was easier and they are keeping all of it open for the community.
Wait what? What sense of truth? Do you know when fake photography started? Around 5 minutes after photography was invented. Now it has become even easier but no one should have ever thought "ah, it is in a photograph so it must be true". AI has nothing to do with that.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and knowledge.

Journey (in steam)
The price is well worth it. And in general, games by that company, annapurna are great examples of atmospheric games.
Stray for instance, it is more classical in the approach to the game style but it is amazing ( you play as a cat in a postapocaliptic world).
Stray (in steam)
And talking of those games another that comes to mind as really absorving is Firewatch. Less action, more adventure style but so pretty.

Oh really? You don't say…!
Obvious as it is, it is nice to see some places still have some minimum of sanity.

Well at that age Andy is probably charging his controller all the time but I doubt that it would be in the movie.

I kinda half expected this to have something to do with adhd with that name, like an adhd simulator or something. But who tould want to play that? XD
Spiritual? It looks like an absolute clone…

Yes, and then it becomes toy story 12, the latest pixar adventure where andy has moved on from the old toys and now plays videogames.
Then it won't find the charger :(
The first one to come to mind was mushishi, super calm and unique.
Hahaha that is so depressing hahaha
goes to cry in a corner
And the stakeholders? Is no one going to think of the stakeholders?!

Ok fine, I'll upvote this, but maybe you should talk to a therapist about your dreams (:
Jokes aside, this is incredibly original! What is the piece in the middle btw? I can't recognise it.
My favorite launcher Dragon Launcher, it's as fun as a spinner and very minimal until you interact with it.
And a couple of games I've been hooked with lately: Vector pinball And Breakout 71
