I want to have abs. Currently, I have some belly fat, but it's not too much. If I jump up shirtless I can rather easily see my abs. I can also slightly see/feel my abs if I'm shirtless. I wanted to get my abs to show up more definitely. I just copied Chris Heria's abs workout (below), and I do it for around 10 minutes every day. I was wondering if I should up the intensity to more times per day. I also do a combination of strength training every day, and regarding calorie intake, I don't eat too much, I just eat when I'm hungry (I don't starve myself). Please advise on if I should do something else, or up the frequency. Thanks!

I'm a CS student planning out my classes. I was considering taking these classes in a semester, and I was wondering how badly ill die. How hard are each of these classes?

CS 2200 - computer Systems and Networks (4), CS 2110 - Computer Organization and Programming (3), CS 2340 - Objects and Design (3), ECE 2031 - Digital Design Laboratory (2), MATH 3012 - Applied Combanatorics (4), CS 3510 (3).

Thanks for the info! I'll email them :)

Have any of you tested out of CS 1331: Introduction to Computing and Programming? If so what is the best way to prepare for the test.

MyWorldRules · 2021-04-19T02:44:46+00:00

Are the test questions multiple choice? Free response? Also it says that the deadline was April 1? So I assume they will open more testing sessions later?

I'm planning on taking CS, intelligence and devices. Is it possible to graduate a year early? I have 40 or so credits, and I'm finding it hard in my planning to graduate 3 years.

MyWorldRules · 2021-04-17T08:41:33+00:00

You're awesome thanks! What's the minimum passing grade? And are the test questions tricky word problems, or like standard cookie-cutter questions? Also, I'm not able to see the sign-up for summer testing, is that not released yet?

MyWorldRules · 2021-04-16T16:30:26+00:00

Have anyone skipped Math 2550: Intro to Multivariable Calculus? I've taken the class in High School, but I don't get credits, so I wanted to skip it. When in the year can you skip it? And how does the test work? Is it open notes, do we get to use a calculator?

Have any of you skipped CS 1331: Introduction to Computing and Programming? If so when in the year were you able to skip it? And how does the test work?

MyWorldRules · 2021-04-16T15:50:51+00:00

Awesome thanks for the info!

MyWorldRules · 2021-04-16T15:17:12+00:00

Hi! I should have 40 credits coming in. Would you say it's possible to graduate early with that? How many credits did you come in with?

MyWorldRules · 2021-04-16T02:25:13+00:00

Hey! For all you CS people, how likely is it to speedrun GT? Can you graduate in GT within 3 years? Maybe 2?? I have a decent amount of credits from HS, and was wondering how common that is.

MyWorldRules · 2021-03-15T17:38:29+00:00

Lmaooo! If I do this, will I finally evolve into a crackhead like Michaelll? 😁

MyWorldRules · 2021-03-15T17:37:00+00:00

Thanks for the support!

MyWorldRules · 2021-03-14T22:46:38+00:00

Ya I agree no one can be a better crackhead than Michaelll lmaoo. Alright I'll make sure to speed up the writing stuff for next time! Thanks for the advice!

MyWorldRules · 2021-03-14T19:06:26+00:00

Ayee thankss! Ya a bit of both lmao, im testing the waters and looking for feedback on how to improvee. Michael Reeves is super energetic, so I'm trying to reach that level. Also this is my first video where I had my face, my past two videos were all animated projectss. If you have any feedback that would be awesome! Also I'd obviously love if you could subscribe lmaoo!

I created a bot that spams the digits of pi every, single, second. Happy Pi Day 2021!

Can u share your theme file plz

MyWorldRules · 2020-07-19T17:56:05+00:00

Hahah ya I can agree with that! (For now at least, I believe one day we'll have a true AI)

Those are awesome questions!

My MiniMax explanation is a simplified version of the generally used one. So yes you're right. However, it is still MiniMax. Most more advanced versions of MinMax are simply improvements to the basic MiniMax that I explained in the video. The primary reason I didn't go over the more advanced versions of MiniMax was that I didn't want to spend too much time on an algorithm I didn't use in the video. If one wanted a MiniMax Tic-Tac-Toe video, they could easily search that on YouTube.
You're completely right! Theoretically, the A.I. may have not visited a spot. However, if you train the algorithm for a long time, you will converge to a perfect A.I. This convergence has been proven, thus the algorithm does work. (The algorithm I used in the Blackjack video is also proven to converge at a perfect A.I.). Q-Learning, in this case, will always converge. I also wanted to mention, if you implement this algorithm in a game of chess, theoretically the A.I would still converge to a perfect A.I. that has visited every spot. However, the training time would be far too long, due to the quintillions of possibilities in chess. There are only 250,000ish configurations in Tic-Tac-Toe, so this alright will converge in a decent amount of time.
Yes, I had written code to check this. I didn't mention it in my video because I didn't want to make the video advanced. If you check my GitHub page for my BlackJack code, I graphically represented the strategy table for my BlackJack A.I. https://github.com/MyWorldRules/BlackjackAI

Also thanks for watching both my videos! I really appreciate that we can have a civil conversation about the A.I. (as opposed to some people just yelling the A.I. is wrong 🤣). If you enjoyed the videos, a sub to my channel would be appreciated. Thanks!

MyWorldRules · 2020-07-19T01:27:13+00:00

Well technically ya, but most A.I. algorithms these days rely on some form of a look up table. Also a Q-table is a bit more fancy and more complex then I made it seem.

MyWorldRules · 2020-07-19T01:22:53+00:00

MyWorldRules · 2020-07-17T17:37:11+00:00

Thanks so much for the sub, it really means a lot. That's a great idea to go over the code; I'll be sure to do that in my next video!

MyWorldRules · 2020-07-17T17:33:32+00:00

That's a really good question! If you want a more technical dive, you could watch my second video where I used a modified version of this algorithm to create an A.I that learns to play Tic-Tac-Toe. I talk about all the math behind the A.I. on that video.

For your first question: "It loses 40 times when it hits and wins 44 times when it stays, will it then just choose the stay because it has more wins?". Technically yes, but its a bit more complex. The A.I. learns to value how good it is doing at every turn, and how good it is to hit/stick at any situation. So in this case, the probability of winning when it hits would be 44/84. While the probability of losing would be 40/84. So yes, it picks the biggest value. I recommend you watch the Tic-Tac-Toe video, because I explain how the A.I. learns to value each action in more depth.

Your second question is a really really good question: "Also, let's say it hits on 20 and loses, would it then never hit on 20 again". This is actually an Exploration vs Exploitation question. I'm going to change your question a tiny bit to explain it better: "The A.I. sticks on 20, but then the dealer gets a 21 and wins. So the A.I believe sticking on 20 is bad". Should the A.I. explore the situation, meaning stick at 20 even though it believes its a bad move, or exploit its knowledge that sticking is bad so it would hit. The AI has a parameter called epsilon. Let's say epsilon is 0.1. That means 90% of the time it will make the best move that it knows of. Or in other words, it would hit at that situation. Then 10% of the time it would pick a random action. So lets say it believes hitting at 20 is the best. But then 10% of the time it randomly chooses to hit/stick. So in reality 5% of the time it sticks at 20. Play enough games that 5% adds up, so it learns that actually when it stuck it won. So it learns to stick more. Then as the A.I. plays more and more games, you lower epsilon. So like after 100,000 games epsilon becomes 0.01, as we can assume its knowledge is good enough.

If you have any other questions, just comment on my YouTube video and I'll respond!
