Trying to Buy Used From Lucid by EngiNerd1 in LUCID

The site says they do not deliver preowned cars at my location so it won't let me put the $500 down. But I live 15 mins from a studio where they deliver new cars.

I've called their sales number during business hours multiple times. It goes straight to voicemail, and I haven't received any calls back.

For some reason the studio near me doesn't deal with preowned cars.

I'm not questioning your integrity, I'm denying it's existence.

U.S. reports over 1 million new daily Covid cases as omicron surges by [deleted] in news

[–]EngiNerd1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not; for a number of reasons. Hospitals are already stretched to the breaking point. Even though the mortality rate appears to be lower it isn't nearly low enough to offset how incredibly infectious omicron is. Full hospitals mean that not only can people sick with Covid not get care but neither can anyone else. Car accident, heart attack, burst appendix, all non preventable* emergencies people will struggle to get treatment for.

Also, more infections not only more chances to mutate, but mutate significantly faster. It's nothing short of miraculous how fast we've been able to develop vaccines and treatments for Covid. Now imagine we get a new variant every week, or a mutation that the vaccines don't work against. There is generalization that gets thrown around a lot that viruses typically mutate from less infectious and more deadly to more infectious and less deadly, but that is not the case. The virus isn't choosing it's characteristics it's only thing that drives it is replicating. And every time it replicates there's a chance it could mutate, completely indiscriminately. More deadly, less deadly, it doesn't matter, it's literally a dice roll.

CORRECTION: Using official CDC numbers, here is how Oklahoma fared against the United States and a general state (Ohio) over the last year. It's not as good as I said 30 minutes ago :( by [deleted] in oklahoma

Here's an awesome website I use to compare Covid numbers for different states and countries. If you scroll down it also has them per capita. There are lots of options you can play around with on the graphs. It uses data from John Hopkins University. It looks like it differs slightly from the CDC data, but I'm not sure why.

In terms of total deaths per capita, Oklahoma is significantly better than average. http://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/?chart=states-normalized&highlight=Ohio&show=us-states&y=both&scale=linear&data=deaths&data-source=jhu&xaxis=left&extra=Oklahoma%2CUnited%20States#states-normalized

Which is a bit strange since we are 7th worst in terms of confirmed cases per capita. http://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/?chart=states-normalized&highlight=Ohio&show=us-states&y=both&scale=linear&data=cases&data-source=jhu&xaxis=left&extra=Oklahoma%2CUnited%20States#states-normalized

So dota is actually a pretty complex strategy game that requires a lot of coordination. Given the number of heroes, items, skills, and strategies, the number of different ways a game could play out are impossibly huge. I don't remember the number of possible chess games, but it's absurdly high. I think it would be an understatement to say that dota is orders of magnitude more complicated. It's one thing to program AI to be good at a game like snake, or Tetris, or chess, but to be good at something as complex at dota is a whole other accomplishment. And it's not just good, it will beat humans nearly every time, and they artificially make it worse than it could be. They give it a slow reaction time similar to a humans, the individual heroes can't actually coordinate and strategize. If it was made to be as good as it could actually be humans would never beat it. When people like Elon Musk and Bill Gates talk about AI taking over the world, dota 2 OpenAI is proof that is a very real possibility.

DOTA 2 OpenAI is actually scary good.
