Right, get a very clear understanding of exactly what you want to calculate
Once you have a firm grip on your spatial manipulations, then you can go back and nice up the implementation
Also, what you're calling "angle" of the camera is actually "scale". They are highly related, almost identical in your axis aligned case, but not exactly the same.
You can use trigonometry to exactly convert between them
Physics methods can predict (pretty much) everything chemistry can predict, chemistry is basically working on a smaller scale and taking an average of the physics happening to calculate things at a much faster rate
@WDUK humans are still a real thing in large enough groups that a study of those groups is potentially useful
I'll also never contradict people who say their religion/alternate medicine/spiritual believes/invisible pink unicorn is outside of science. After all, science is the study of things that actually exist
@KevinvanderVelden I see that as a backup plan, it has the same problem as antibiotics: It rather indiscriminately reduces the population of the useful agents along with the pathogens
I guess but I'm not sure that technology is quite "there" yet, although in the same vein of thought maybe a retrovirus could be made selective through genetic engineering
if you built a bio computer with same structure as a brain and it worked in the exact same way as a human brain. would it be self aware - after all it is 100% the same in structure and mechanical behavior.
@Jon Yeah you just make an IDE that detects the debugger crashing 10 times in a row, and suggests that the user perhaps exterminate low quality individuals to unwind
@Lokkij Yeah, I did consider going with EE, since that's a field that's getting less attention than SE. I figured both would be very applicable to AI. But I went with SE since I had loads more experience with that. Might as well make it a bit easier.
Though a lot of people seem to think AI is mostly psychology and barely any math or something; more than 50% will fail the first year, mainly due to underestimating the amount of math and programming.
@Lokkij I actually thought the same. What kind of math is involved? I'm not sure how much we'll cover. So far it's been Linear Algebra and Discreet math. But I'm only on my first year.
@WilliamMariager We're almost done with Calculus for AI, which is basically all working towards differential equations (general first-order, linear second-order) and in three months the course Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus will start
What if he understands very clearly, and is making a sarcastic comment about how the phrase you've said is obscure and not really a generally known colloquial metaphor?
I did have to specify here, someone on the bridge did the same thing till the mods got a 0 tolerance policy for him, after a few months of repeated timeouts he didn't come back
...sheesh, I tried to make it easy for you. You were supposed to point out that I took a turn by implying that your first play was so feeble that it did not change the initial neutral state of the game.
You could have called me directly wrong but missed it, I think that's game over. no?
@WDUK The comic on that room made me literally lol
@ShenRuki You have encountered an architectural photographer from maetrearch outside the oil facility she's worried. What should you do to reach level 2?
Actually there is something scary about finding out that she's a cop after, even if you've done absolutely nothing wrong, it has kindof a "Take a seat" feelys to it.
@Lokkij I've been obsessively working on something, I'm not sure if the area of neural networks is even considered useful in formal literature, but it's basically somewhere in between an echo state network and an autoencoder
@MickLH Just to be clear: I have very little knowledge of actual AI currently. The first year of the programme is all about establishing the basics (so: programming, math, psychology, linguistics and more) so I currently have basically no knowledge about neural networks.
Neural networks have always interested me, and I've always wanted to play around with them, but I know almost nothing about them so that's a non-starter.
So it can't "see", well it can but if you train to "see" things then it will need to learn separately for seeing things in the center of view, vs seeing them offset to a side
The main thing I've been working on is the self organizing aspect, so if you want to exploit where my specific experiments shine, you would need a problem which sometimes has a whole new dimension of data show up, or entirely new encodings that show up while maintaining a similar overall problem structure
I don't know if I should do it... but I was considering writing another series, on how to use that map data generator, and create gameobjects in unity with them
@ArtOfCode you should develop that into an approximator that eventually converges testing the actual average line size in bytes of more and more files randomly
But don't die... Unless you really really want to I guess... I mean if you're that down on your mood then the last thing you need is me calling you selfish
@ArtOfCode I worked on the infrastructure team there, but I quit before the game shipped and I didn't think they'd credit me. I looked when it shipped and I wasn't listed in the programming section, but my old roommate just texted me to say we are both in the "special thanks" section.
