Top to bottom, then left to right.

What (widely popular) race could possibly be a better metric of endurance than the marathon?

Yes but if it’s first instinct is “go left” on 1-2, it’s pretty apparent the reward function could use some tuning

When you teach a child what a dinosaur is, you have to do a lot more explaining than when you try and teach an adult what a dinosaur is in french - the child isn’t just learning a language for those 10 years.

COVID has long lasting effects across your entire body, it impacts your immune and cardiovascular systems for years after you get it.

Risks of heart attack, stroke, etc are increased 2.5x in the year after infection, increasing exponentially with the number of times you have been infected. In fact, the risk of pretty much ANY health problem skyrockets following a COVID infection.

Not quite the same, but London calling was similarly used for tourism ads among other things

Yes, but if someone trips over the cord there is a 50% chance the wrong side comes unplugged and potentially kills them, hence why they don’t make these cords

You gotta donate to planned parenthood for every dollar spent there. It’s like buying carbon offsets, but for sandwiches. /s

This seems more like a collection of examples than an actual attempt at a definition.

At its core, AI is a program that takes a given input and returns the output that, during it’s training phase, would be expected to minimize it’s error (or maximize it’s reward).

I haven’t used dual shock so I can’t speak to that, but as far as Xbox 1/S controllers, there is no 1st party support - literally all the drivers are from some non-MS affiliated GitHub page. 360 controllers required the xpad driver as well - that isn’t 1st party support. Yes they work out of the box with steam if you are using a wired connection, but that’s because it’s going through steaminput (not 1st party either), and making the controls of the submarine dependent on being launched through steam is even more absurd. Gen 2 series 1/S controllers didn’t work via Bluetooth for a long time after they (silently) launched on most LTS Linux OSs due to the kernel missing requisite BLE functionality

That’s only assuming the sub was running windows, where Xbox controllers work out of the box. On Linux there are no first party drivers, and Bluetooth support on the 1/S controllers simply didn’t exist at the time this happened. If it was an embedded system there would be no support whatsoever.

US Army used to spend $38,000 per controller until they found out Xbox controllers were better

For what?

You will probably have waaaay more issues trying to get the windows client working through wine than dealing with any hiccups on the Linux client. It was buggy but passable like 5-6 years ago so I’m sure it’s much better now

You can try running it through a VM first before making the switch - 3d performance will be horrendously bad, but at least it will give you some piece of mind.

If unity gives a different download for each, you would have the best luck with whatever version matches closest (so the 22.04 download on current pop_os). Basically the more system dependencies the program has the more likely you will run into conflicts installing on a mismatched OS, but it isn’t guaranteed to cause problems (e.g. program requires openSSL version 1.2, but my OS ships with 1.1). I think unity just bundles everything with the binary, so it should be fine.

For what it’s worth, i used it on Ubuntu back when it was still in beta and it was super buggy (the installer and account stuff mostly, the engine itself seemed ok), so hopefully their Linux offering has since improved.

Anything that says it works on Ubuntu should 99.9999% likely work on Pop, because pop os is built from the Ubuntu package base

Top 91.9% means that only 8.1% of people are dumber than you

It’s not to be confused with being “in the 91.9th percentile”, which is the literal opposite

AI isn’t supposed to be creative, it’s isn’t even capable of that. It’s meant to min/max it’s evaluation criterion against a test dataset

It does this by regurgitating the training data associated with a given input as closely as possible

These people aren’t placing bets on who they want to win, they are placing bets where the house odds differ from the actual expected outcome. The people throwing big money on this are doing it based on actual data (amalgamating polls, etc), not just gut feelings.

If I think Kamala has a 45% chance of winning the election and the bookie is giving her implied odds of 40%, I should take that bet, because even though I think she will lose, I stand to make a 12.5% ROI on my bet. I can then hedge that bet on another bookmaker giving a 48% implied odds, and if enough people do this the bookmakers odds will converge on 44%

but either way I don’t think this “market” knew more than the mainstream media was telling us.

No, but it is a culmination of all the available public information (and some private information you won’t find elsewhere) in a single metric. If you read a single article you would assume there is either a 100% Biden drops out or a 0% chance - if you read every single news article in existence, aggregated all social media buzz, polls, etc, into a statistical likelihood, you would likely come out with a number that closely matches the odds.

Biden was only going to drop out once, so you can’t say how closely these odds matched the actual likelihood on this specific measure, but if you analyze hundreds of predictive markets like this, the implied odds pretty strongly correlate with the actual binomial outcomes
