I meant, physically, what gives different? why after applying the gate once on 1 there is a 50% the spins flip but when applying to 0 no-chance of that.

It was a different country. how well can ex-slaves and bushman run a country? democracy is not rooted in every culture, greed is :\

EDIT: just to be clear not every person in charge is ex-slave or something, but as a country even if they started financially strong it does not mean they had the culture to support it

background: President is old and have succession problems. In recent years his wife trying to grab more and more power to be the next president but not everyone in the ruling party like that. last week she (from the mouth of the president) fired "number 2" in the country. since then everyone who was "friend" with number 2 was fired too. when they tried to get rid of the army general (friend of number 2) he refused to leave his office in claim that president wife doing undemocratic things. yesterday he did the "takeover". its not yet clear if the president will switched with the number 2 guy (the friend of the general).

For the past century raw scores on IQ tests have been rising; this score increase is known as the "Flynn effect," named after Jim Flynn. In the United States, the increase was continuous and approximately linear from the earliest years of testing to about 1998 when the gains stopped and some tests even showed decreasing test scores. For example, in the United States the average scores of blacks on some IQ tests in 1995 were the same as the scores of whites in 1945.[61] As one pair of academics phrased it, "the typical African American today probably has a slightly higher IQ than the grandparents of today's average white American."[62]

>On the prototype pattern: >... >..what? Then why did you bring it up at all?

From the intro: "Prototyping — slapping together code that’s just barely functional enough to answer a design question — is a perfectly legitimate programming practice. There is a very large caveat, though. If you write throwaway code, you must ensure you’re able to throw it away."

Prototyping — coding without architecture in mind? I dont find it relevant to his book.

New comment by zimzim in "Using NeuralNets to make smooth character animations"

zimzim — Wed, 03 May 2017 07:55:57 +0000

Yes, but it is very game dependent. Maybe this "engine" does not suited for fast, action packed games, but I think what players hate is annoying and logically/physically wrong animations, not smooth and fair. Also you can train the NN on faster more reactive training data.
