I think what they're describing isn't related to video games. It's just that using your brain a certain way makes it better at that type of task. The idea that playing Mario 64 improves the spatial reasoning isn't surprising because most levels are large and open and require spatial reasoning whereas first person shooters often featured tight, indoor corridors where the player cannot observe landmarks easily from different locations and must therefore hardcore directions into their memory.

"One freaking hundred years, or something, after women started voting. What happened in that time? Women were blind to say the least?"

Are you suggesting the fact that women did not speak up before indicates that there is nothing worth speaking up about now?

This article seems to ignore the added revenue from a driver having a car and driving people around for Uber. The better metric is probably the average profitability of a driver with a leased vehicle.

What's the process like to get a game on the platform? Are there any requirements for exclusivity? Any expected monthly revenues for a reasonably popular game? This sounds like a good idea and I'm looking to publish a title at some point within a year.

ARMs is solid. First time I have preferred motion controls over traditional inputs (for entertainment, not efficacy).

What's the safety like relative to other options in that price range for a place like India?

Meat eaters will eat fake meat if economics incentive them too. You don't need to completely switch over to impact the world. Growing meat is a substantial waste of energy and nutrients. Unless you think we will never struggle to produce enough food, it's hard to reconcile how you can think we won't run into issues with meat.

Probably just you. This product is indeed capable of changing the world for the better if scaled up. "Saving it" is hyperbole. But it's not about making a nice meal for vegetarians, it's about sustainable meat consumption for a growing population.

Feedback is a hard problem but this sounds fluffy and unhelpful. Are there any tools out there that have effectively been implemented in a large organization to facilitate feedback?

This seems to describe a group which bought ad space. That's not google's doing.

Glossing through save the cat- it doesn't seem like a restrictive guide, but rather a set of reasonable narrative components, like stating the theme and having a narrative catalyst. Frankly this seems fine, if not beneficial. I would be more concerned about the formulas that drive your average Michael Bay quality film or second-by-second construction of trailers.

"Addiction is a hideous condition, but it’s rare."

Is this a true statement for harder drugs?

Is Naive Bayes really ever the most practical choice? Yes it is a simple, fast algorithm, but it's usually a non trivial step below other simple models in my experience and doesn't seem to show any major advantages. The results shown here seem good but bag of words models usually do better than you might think on supervised NLP. So what's the motivation?

As in they aren't randomly generated? Or any placement of mountains creates an impassable pass?

Yeah AoM was the best. I was introduced to programming in their editor. Made it into a short turn based rpg.

I recall reading the plan was to make electric sleds for cars (vaguely akin to car wash tracks) rather than hyper loops.

Perceiving other people's preferences as killing the fun kills the fun.

I can't tell if this suggesting he uses models that were made to predict algae growth or if he is using algae/bio/genetic inspired optimization algorithms. But either way he is certainly not "using" algae.

Glove is great. Simpler and faster with a very small trade off for quality. Word2vec has an advantage in that you can produce document vectors with only a small change in the network infrastructure. Tf-idf weighted word vector averages will probably be the best you can do using glove.

About to join their analytics team soon. Their technical capability is high and growing. Their involvement with "AI" is not that huge, but they'll have one of the best outlooks of how average companies are starting to throw machine learning/optimization at their operations.
