TBBT is a show written by non-nerds trying to describe what nerds are, and failing miserably. I have tried more than once to watch it and every time I felt actual physical discomfort at how bad the whole thing was; Even though the show is n

I used to think like you wrt the social media conditioning, however now that I've experienced IBS on myself I changed my outlook on it. I am sure that there are people who eat specific diets just because it is a fad and they get condit

I don't think there's a way to readily avoid it, unless you can grow and process the crops yourself. Organic food, afaik, more times than not is worse than run-of-the-mill industrial products so tread carefully. Unfortunately I do

Something to consider when talking about anything wheat/gluten related is that SO many people nowadays are starting to show signs of gluten intolerance/allergy and this might be due to glyphosate rather than the gluten itself. I c

This sounds quite interesting to me, have you tried a FODMAP diet for your IBS symptoms before switching to keto? I've been going back and forth on FODMAPs for the last year and a half to try and pinpoint what it is that triggers my sy

It's interesting to me that most comments are confusing Deep Learning with the whole field of AI in general, when it is actually a subset of Machine Learning. Well deserved anyhow!

I can actually log into Facebook with a password I used on there roughly two years ago, which to me seems like a VERY bad security issue. I'm hoping they are at least fingerprinting my devices so that if someone else tries to access my

Even if not pre-rendered this doesn't seem _that_ good to me to be honest. Some of the things I've seen in BF5 with Ray Tracing were more impressive to me than this whole demo. i.e. when the fairies fly away the lightning on the w

I don't know, there doesn't seem to be any mention either way, if it's not pre-rendered it is slightly better but still, I don't understand why a packed room at GDC of all places would be wowed by this.

Am I missing something? This doesn't really seem all that great compared to what we have been shown with Ray Tracing. The fact that it's not even real time but pre-rendered makes it even less wow-ing for me

Something I have noticed throughout my studies is that some countries seem better equipped to let university students shine and not suffer from high stress, or at least help them decompress. This might be anecdotal experience, and I am not

Just skimmed through it but the main thesis seems blown out of proportion IMHO; Google still works very well (read: better than all its competitors), what bugs me a bit is that it tailors result to my previous history hence if I look for so

Hey dude, Italian here as well currently enrolled in a Masters. I am thinking over the possibility of going forward with a PhD rather than looking for a job, could I ask you some questions? It is quite hard for me to find actual information

Meaning that the final models evolved by playing against each other and they all started by using pro strategies, so, again, to me it seems kind of obvious that they would end up using pro strategies and in the best case just try to make th

Well, why wasn't this implemented then? For an hyped and live streamed event I'm expecting to see something that blows me away, not hand picked agents still in embryonic stage

I do believe the live match was with a newer version of the agent that hadn't been tested against human yet

>I think the coolest thing is how the play of AI mirrors a similar style to how pros have developed I mean, the agents have learned the game from pro replays so to me it seems obvious it would evolve to play the same strats human pros us

I'm not proficient in Starcraft, but if they have to make Pros play against 5 different agents for a Bo5 is it because the same agent would merely repeat the same game overall and the human player would be able to see through its strat

Holy shit, I remember playing something very similar to this for hours on end in the early 90s as a kid; it might have even been an early version of the powder toy (another user mentioned it), not entirely sure, but regardless this thread i

Thanks for your input, I definitely want to set it up asap so that I can start blogging about stuff I'm interested in or ramblings I want to go on about after tackling some of the bigger assignments.

I feel like the problem lies in getting your feet through the front door, after that how you got your education really doesn't matter anymore. You were lucky enough to get an interview with Microsoft thanks to your past work experience

It matters especially if you're not from the US. You could've gone to the best university in your country, but if it's not a top institution in the US or a handful of others (ETH and a few more in top positions according to Q

Maybe there is a shortage because wages are low thus people are not programmatically attracted to the field? ;)

I believe it would be quite ridiculous as well, any elected employee representative would probably be somehow bought out by the company/board and become useless. That's what Union Reps in my country do at least - they are basicall
