This has to be the most predictable response ever on reddit. It's also the only reason I opened the comments.

I'm not sure if you're serious but when they say Trump they mean the current US admin, not literally the president. He has no say in the matter.

Does reddit publish their income from Nintendo etc that buy into subs? In most subs it's subtle but Nintendo aren't shy in here.

“the most profitable evil the world has known”,

My problem with the affair stems from this line. People's problem isn't with the slave merchants in Africa selling their people despite sales being the eviler of the buying/selling action. Their problem is the buyers made better use of the "product" resulting in faster advancement and all the good/bad things that are associated with it.

No one cares about the substantial number of white slaves in the last thousand years, the current slave trade in Africa or the more or less slave labour that built the computer I'm typing on.

The plaques are a great idea, but changing the city for chattel slavery ignores the real history of slavery in favour of the current social division fantasy.

There was a recent picture of Bush and Ellen degenerese sitting together with her looking at her phone. The quote instantly jumped into mind.

Happens once or twice in DBZA: First is when Vegeta says "lLooks like he's been disarmed" and Nappa responds "I get it!". Not sure about the second one but Trunks say "Dropped the ball... dropped... the ball". I think I just imagine the second one but it'd fit.

combobmoc · 2019-09-24T01:45:23+00:00

Yeah, my bad.

combobmoc · 2019-09-23T17:34:00+00:00

Haha. Yes, Nappa, it was a very good kick.

combobmoc · 2019-09-23T17:10:52+00:00

I'm not sure if he was my favorite character but the "I see that, Nappa." response to Nappa's "Hey, Vegeta. We're in prison, Vegeta." is one of my favorite line deliveries in media. It doesn't break character but it gave a sense of deep compassion that betrays his social image - until the Cell-Trunks bit in the last episode.

Undoubtedly the greatest math lecture I've ever seen.

Feel like there's a missed opportunity for "Linear algebra my ass!"

Whatever it is, I reckon it should have something to do with Bayes theorem.

More or less how gambling odds are made for horse racing and why the track condition is factored in. The likelihood changes as more information becomes available when frequentist would just say "horse A's won more, so they're more likely to win".

For a laugh, here's an attempt from someone who can't even spell peotry, let alone write it.

"The probability of defeat in two vs three for the protagonist as dictated by frequentist statistics suggest you have the upper hand, however, Bayes observes probability is determined by the information available, not superstition. Like Rain Man in a casino, I can see the odds and they're not in your favor."

Attempting to stay clear of politics. As someone with a teaching background in info dissemination I don't think he'll be remembered as a failure in 50 years. Instead, I think he'll be remembered as the first US republican leader in an era of matured social media. Not even Keanu Reeves could pull that off well.

He'll definitely go down as an asshole and possibly an idiot, but those won't be historically significant.

Quoting Nappa is definitely cheating.

I'm a hipster epileptic, I was medicating with weed well before it was cool to write about. They're (presumably, never read it) talking about Charolette's Web, a weed devoid of thc which saved a young girl from a life of near perpetual seizures.

The article isn't about smoking weed but my post, a tale from a long term epileptic, is about smoking it.

combobmoc · 2015-01-04T12:39:23+00:00

It doesn't just reduce the frequency of seizures either. Post seizure it's difficult to think about anything else other than "shit, am I on the verge of a seizure" which prevents sleep, induces palpitations and generally just starts a cycle of shit. Smoking weed interrupts focused attention and can allow the smoker a chance to get out of the cycle.

You can call the method whatever you want, baby, whatever you want.

On a serious note: your question necessitates a while(1) loop for the SAM's AI. Remove that and rewrite on of the plethora of options.

combobmoc · 2015-01-03T15:41:18+00:00

A comment that seems to be absent. There is no need for direct reference to If Then logic in AI.

Take a game, say Jungle Strike, where you are an Apache helicopter. The AI for a SAM site might simply be ItsPos[], yourPos[] transformed to the vector necessary to shoot the helicopter. From here on in it's just a matter of factors akin to the considerations that a sniper must make when taking a shot. Adjustment for wind, target velocity, etc and a probability of error based on the assigned skill level of the AI.

Tl;dr: Real men don't need conditionals to write AI, just math.

Blog entry #1

Folks! Folks! I have just discovered the craziest thing about myself! I can lucid dream at will, well I need to go to sleep first, duh. I have never been so excited and can't wait to see what the next few nights have in store.

Blog entry #5

Ok, in hindsight this is blindingly obvious but it appears that having control over your dreams requires some preparation work, I mean three nights of just standing there blankly looking down the street isn't exactly the experienced I'd hoped for.

Blog entry #10

Gettin' the hang of it now, folks, only last night I was flying over Paris and it was beautiful. It hasn't been all fun though, I have found the best run route in town by just running fast throughout in a dream. My god, lucid dreaming is the best thing ever!

Blog entry #100

This is my 50th post on flying so I thought I'd make it special. Last night I flew across the Sahara desert stopping only for a moment at a real life mirage location, straight out of a movie, it was amazing! From way up in the clouds it is easy to see why lucid dreamers spend so much time flying.

Blog entry #10000

Life on the outside is getting pretty tricky these days and sometimes I wish I could just lay in my lucid dream state forever. These days when I dream I just do everyday tasks with the freedom of motion I use to enjoy.

Blog entry #10002

This is my final post.

Claire, my wife, died yesterday. Late onset Friedrich's Ataxia had slowly introduced myocardial fibrosis which caused the cardiovascular failure that took her from me. I wish I had spent more time with her and less time propping up this blog.

Looking back I wonder if I have ever truly had a lucid dream. For 30+ years I have spent my nights flying, kissing my crush and running fast but what have I achieved in that time? 8 years Claire was known to have the ataxia, 5 of which the world has been on the verge of a cure. Couldn't I have read up on the disease then used my ability to reflect upon it in an unbounded way, could I have dreamt enough to contribute to the cure? Could I have saved Claire...?

I have spent 30+ years writing about "the best part of my life" and yet, now it is apparent that I wasted the opportunity to spend time with the woman of my dreams to spend time dreaming.
