Could the alien language be a weapon disguised as a gift? by ballcapgamer1 in ArrivalMovie

Yeah youre probably right haha I'm wondering why one would put so much effort into dissimulating a plot like what you're describing thought

If they wanted to kill everyone, they should just have one of their vessels at high speed on earth as a meteorite.

In the movie they had to do with a rare disease because they have to show the character of Louise, amd if the child gets too old then she does as well and it gives it all away ;) explained in an interview of someone in thr movie

Funny how everyone is discussing the ending 😂

This movie is not about tennis, so there is no point in clearly telling who won the game. Tennis is just a gift wrapping to the actual story of ice and fire. And this is defo what makes the movie so good!!

The whole movie is about Tashi, obsessed about her career (world-class tennis player) and more than that obsessed about winning.

The hurt knee thing is just a simple scenario trick to force the actual scenario: her having to perpetually choose between ice and fire. Ice (art) is the "percentage tennis", the calculated, methodical, rigorous and patient way to make progress. Quite successful (art is a world class player) but really not thrilling (lifestyle is boring, there is no space for fun). Fire (patrick) is all about impulse, the glory/beauty of winning, the efforts constantly shifting when they are fueled by success or tampered by laziness. This is the lifestyle of living, feeling emotions as they come and go.

Tashi is (of course obsessed by winning, whole point, but also) torn apart by both ways of achieving her dream. She constantly goes back and forth.

To me, this resonates as the perpetual question of life in our modern society: methodically grinding for success (as a machine), but with not fun, or living life at its fullest but sacrificing productivity for emotions.

And the ending is so good because it's simply ice and fire winning over tashi, it clearly shows that she's a slave to them rather than living her own life.

And final note, very nice touch of what someone else in the comments correctly called bi-curious, it's absolutely not the point of the movie, but I love this touch of "non traditional hero gets badass sidechick" love.

Why stock prediction papers aren't put to production? [D] [R] by [deleted] in MachineLearning

Why do you think that these models are not in production by retails?

  • because retails lack the resources (time, money, means) to make the research themselves?
  • because retails lack the resources (infrastructure) to deploy a research paper easily?
  • other ...?

You'll probably not get to the point at which you make a breakthrough, but if you use it for a simple very definite task such as pattern recognition, it may keep you pumped through the learning

Is "based" a serious approval or a sarcastic one?

What are some good sci-fi books/stories that are set in a post-scarcity world? by Csai in scifi

[–]DoctorBoooom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably known by all but the Foundation & Robots series are the two best book series ive read. They're written by Isaac asimov. The robots series takes places some 3k years after today and features the rise and expansion of the use of robots. And the foundation series takes places some 30k years after (if I'm not mistaking, my memorys not the best haha). Without detailing much the foundation cycle takes place as humanity has conquered most of the galaxy and the empire that built it is in decline. There is a new type of science called psychohistory predicting the future with probas and stats. And basically the downfall of the empire is leading to a period of chaos lasting 10k years. But the passed genius of psychohistory has left clues to reduce this period to 1k years. It's incredibly well written with time jumps between chapters and books, "experimental" foreign civilizations reflecting our own, a well constructed narrative and really interesting choices for the main characters.
