You should check out Mashle, it’s basically a parody of your typical “magic school” anime where the main character can’t use magic and literally just out muscles everyone.

I wasn’t saying it couldn’t be done, I was saying drones as vehicles doesn’t seem viable (economically or for safety reasons).

Also, when you put in bigger batteries you increase the weight, thus increasing the amount of power you need to fly the drone. If these ventures say their drones get 20-30 minutes of flight I would assume that’s got to be around the current sweet spot.

You’re idea for making it more bike-like might be able to help with flight time (if drag doesn’t become a larger problem), but I don’t think commercially anyone is going to want to fly unprotected from wind and the elements.

Yeah, that’s pretty much the same way I felt playing it.

Yeah, that’s what’s shown in the video, basically a large six propeller drone. The big issues seem to be safety, flight time (battery lasts 20-30 minutes), and air space regulation.

Personally, I don’t think drones are there yet and may never be. The range is probably always going to be limited due to energy density and at that point mass transit (like trains) will always be the better/safer option. Even if you can solve the energy issue I think you still run into safety issues including high wind scenarios.

I felt like this was a game that could be better served as a shot story. The gameplay is weak and the setup for all the mind copying is cool, but mostly irrelevant to the main philosophical question posed.

!Most of all what I don’t like about the game is it purposefully misleads the player about the “mind copying”. The fact is there is no gamble or uncertainty, when copying the person’s mind the original always stays where it is and a new consciousness is created in the new body. By changing control for all transfers but the last it seems to imply you got unlucky, but that’s what had been happening every time prior.!<

I mean, you’re just replacing one archaic symbol with another.

I’m not even sure that comment really rises to the level of a counter arguement.

People have been around a lot longer than atomic bombs.

In the past I think they have, I remember the Quest 3 being a top selling console when it released.

The best I could find this year was this article, but I’m not sure if they’re just mentioning the VR headset sales in the same article.

Switch 2 was selling super well, but it was out competed by the PS5 (probably due to sales) and almost lost to the Nex Playground (probably due to cost again) according to news reports.

That seems to be a sign that the console/games are priced too high.

The fact that there continue to be humans.

I mean, the government could run at a surplus and therefore not need to borrow money and start paying back the loans.

Its not really a ponzi scheme, but more that the US government has decided that it’d rather increase its debt rather than reduce spending.

As to OPs question. I think he’s referring to taxes and government benefits, but is discounting the fact that taxes are not the only source of money for the government, through bonds the government accrues debts that can exceed the amount collected in taxes.

I had someone swear to me that Github templating was better, but I’ve only worked with Gitlabs templates. Why do you like Gitlab over Github?

If you have specific games in mind you can check out this site emuready.com. That let’s you filter by device or cpu to see how well games play, sorta like ProtonDB for Linux emulation.

I think the biggest issue is, are you looking sub $200 before shipping+tax or after. For example I think the Retroid Pocket 5 is supposed to handle gamcube pretty well, but thats $200 just for the device.

The biggest issue for me with the Xperia Play was that the lack of thumbs ticks kept it stuck as an emulator for retro consoles (it could play ps1 and N64 games, but inputs held it back). This will fall into the same spot, where you can only really play games that don’t require a thumbs tick. So if it’s your daily driver, you end up with a device that’s making sacrifices as a phone and gaming device.

I still liked my Xperia Play, but I don’t think I would have recommended it to people.

I was going to ask how this is different than a Reinforcement Learning algorithm but then they called out Deep Minds Alpha-Go

Robotron 2084 - there is a place by me that still has the arcade cabinet.

I mean, you also had pretty low quality TV and home media, anything beyond 32 inches wasn’t doing much good for you.

I assume because it’s cheaper and easier, but I was surprised to hear that too.

Not sure how real this survey is, but they say 83% of households do a fake tree.

Use Google Collab or another web hosted platform. If you’re unfamiliar Google Collab is a part of Google docs that you can run Jupyter Notebooks on (and it’s free). This avoids the need for anyone to install anything and means you can test materials in the same environment everyone will run against.

Additionally, Jupyter notebooks makes it easy to add markdown, so instructions can be in stylized format and the students can run the cells over and over again to see how the output changes in real time.

Lastly, I would lean towards python, but there are many different languages supported in Google Collab and similar web hosted tools.
